## Description

Drawing the Head and Figure: A How-To Handbook That Makes Drawing Easy : Hamm, Jack: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Great Reference for Artists! - This book is a very easy to understand guide to figure drawing. It is packed with information on how to work up good drawings of the Human body as well as faces, eyes, clothes etc. Leafing through the book the initial impression is that it is quite cramped in terms of layout but this is due to enumerate examples that you can refer to. The tone of the book is very measured and encouraging: unlike many other books on anatomy the instructions are precise and clear. All this is enhanced by Jack Hamms' clear, eminently readable drawings. I found the material on faces and eyes really good and without a doubt my drawings have improved after consultation of this book. Simple guides for grasping rudimentary forms in drawing arms, legs etc are the best I've ever seen, allowing you to get something passable down on paper which is very encouraging for more in depth study which is also presented here. I quickly learnt more about the form of the face, figure and clothing in four or five quick sessions than 7 years ownership of Burne Hogarths' "Dynamic Figure Drawing" ! I recommend this book for depth of material covered, readability and concise simplicity: if you are interested in the Human figure this is one of the best additions to your reference section you can make!
Review: One of the best - Crammed with examples of every aspect of the head and figure. An astounding number of examples of how to draw eyes, ears, noses and all of the other parts of the body. By simple copying the huge number of examples you would improve your drawing skills. Sadly all of the drawings are now very dated.
