Reviews

Beautiful organization, excellent logical structure. Love the exercises inserted into the flow of the book. The book is very strong, obviously written by someone who has been teaching this topic for a long time, has been able to simplify as much as possible, and is now transfering this information. -- Nicolas ChampRoux, Houston Community College, USA
I find that most of my students are in need of a book like this: clean, concise, and direct to the needs of the syllabus. -- Conrad Hamather, West Virginia University, USA
I like the way the author has developed the croquis and the steps. It starts on the basis of anatomy and how to draw anatomy and mixes it with fashion proportions. It actually is written like how I teach. -- Patrick Brown-Hayes, Washington State University, USA
