Best Book on Drawing People

Finished Drawing Textbook

My daughter finished Drawing Textbook, and we decided to jump to this one. She loves drawing people, so this seems like the perfect book for her! We'll go back to the second book in the series if this is too advanced. We love the easy open-and-go method of these books. We use them for our homeschool drawing curriculum.

One of the unique and easier approach for drawing people

There are many approaches to draw the figure (human body). Bruce's approach builds on his siimple yet profound 7 principles of drawing. This book can be looked at as 2 parts. The first part is about some extra pointers along wth principles that make your drawings of peoople correct. The second part deals with how to draw the human figure. Where most books go deep into complex anatomy, Bruce's approach is to explain anatomy in a simpler way, just enough to create a strong rough sketch on which you can build your drawing on. Most figure drawing books don't have exercises included in them. This book is exactly opposite. You learn through small, short exercises, just like The drawing textbook, Bruce's first book (Highly recommend it to learn the drawing principles). For most of the key exercises, you will get to see the sketches of Bruce, so it's the closest we can get to see the master at work. If you are like me, just starting out, and don't have a teacher to guide you, this is the first book to start figure drawing. Once you are done with this, you can move to other books that go into figure drawing in detail.
