Truly enjoyed this one.

I've had figure drawing lessons, mostly as a prerequisite to enter the school of fine arts I graduated from but also as a student there. I'd given up drawing for some years now, in favor of other arts, and recently started getting into the habit of daily sketching again. This book was immensely helpful. I felt it saved me bucket-loads of time and helped me find my form quicker and more efficiently than i would have had I gone at it by myself.

It goes through the basics of figure drawing. Mainly concerned with lines, forces and perspective techniques - there isn't much if anything at all on shading and volumes through textures/colors/shadows. It's best if you couple it with figure drawing poses from online resourses (I've found at least 2 youtube channels dedicated to this) so you'll immediately put to practice the lessons you learn.

It was a joy to look, read and study it. I plan to refresh the lessons taught in a few months. Definitely recommended.

I met him in person when he did a guest lecture at my old art school... he has good ideas about figure drawing in general, but he's a real jerk in reality and was highly critical of all of the student's work.

My advice? The book is worth buying (hopefully used) if you are looking to improve in figure drawing, but don't put yourself through asking for his advice on anything.
