How to draw facesBy Carolyn GallNice book2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. If You Are Tired Of Drawing Stick People Get This Book!By Dejablu503If you are tired of drawing stick people or faces that look like aliens. this book is very helpful for taking your skills to a higher level. Most of my artist talents come from self education not classes. and I have to say an awful lot of the how to draw books on the market are... lacking. They assume a LOT. This book is the first one I have found in a long time that teaches the reader how to draw in a way that is clear. concise. easy to follow. I seriously doubt you can buy this book. really use it and not improve your drawing skills. The skills it covers do not apply just to drawing people even though that is the focus of this book. Perspective. shading. dimensions... these things apply to anything you might want to draw. and this book covers them well. A great reference book for anyone trying to improve their skills!
