  This book would be helpful for the beginner who is trying to understand proportions of drawing the human body. I found some of the drawings and illustrations to be helpful even though I am more advanced. Chris Hart really does simplify things and shows that anyone can learn to draw. His illustrations are more manga like than anatomically correct.

  This book has a lot to look at, try and practice more than to read. I find myself looking through it over and over again and absorbing the visual ideas. I would like to include people in my sketches. I'm not a speedy sketcher. As a result, often the people have come and gone as I capture the environment at hand. My hope for myself, as I appreciate this book, is that it will enable me to capture the people who enliven those environments in the future. That is its promise. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to grow their skill in drawing the people around them.

  As someone who has always wanted to "draw better" but had a lot of problems figuring out how to draw lifelike figures, this book has been very helpful. It focuses on different parts and discusses what to consider when sketching as well as providing tips to improve. I have found it very helpful.

  Chris Hart has a head for figures — human figures, that is. Not only does he draw them with incredible style and flair, he also has a friendly, accessible teaching style that makes his how-to books super-sellers. In this unique figure-drawing course, Chris avoids the usual anatomy lessons that intimidate aspiring artists and gets right down to the basics young illustrators need to get started. Starting with heads and facial expressions, he moves on to full figures, male and female, ideal and average, some in fashion poses and others in dynamic action. On every page, his practical advice and clear examples will help readers achieve terrific results — and have fun every step of the way.

  Some good info. I have tried a few drawing styles and this one is similar to one I tried early on. I had trouble with this style and proportions and switched to another. Aside from getting the basic frame laid down, this is a good book for me.
