Eddy. Jr.This book is for a Christmas gift. and was a difficult book to locate as the local stores did not have it and could not order it. Fortunately it was available through and at a very good price. The budding artist will certainly be happy when she opens it on Christmas.36 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Sound Advise for the IntermediateBy WoodieThe author works from life and covers most the kinds of things youd want to know about successful portraiture. The step-by-step was most interesting to read as she takes you through a process and how to resolve some issues you may run into. It doesnt offer a lot to beginners because she assumes you know how to see and do basic drawing and toning. Id say this is a book for the intermediate artist who needs to reenforce existing knowledge with some very useful tips you probably never thought of. particularly for drawing from life.I only have a few small critical things to say here. Although she reviews some basics on composition such as the golden ratio. she doesnt actually seem to practice them much in her examples. For example. she shows you how to "center" the head and says the "full face" portrait is the most common. Well Ive heard alot of arguments against centering and full face views so it seems a contradiction to talk composition then not practice it in reality. I believe the 3 quarter view is most common. and you do not want to center the head for reasons I cant give here because it is too detailed. But perhaps she didnt want to overload the reader with composition theory since thats a much more complex issue.But this is very worthwhile to read and she seems to have done a great job with the structure and language of the book.
