My Take on the Book
This is a great book that walks you through many of the ways in which you can start to draw people. Whether you are a beginner or someone that has experience you will learn a ton in this great book. The exercises were easy to follow and there were plenty of tips and more. Some of the tips are more advanced than others but you can practice and get better with each page that you go through.
