Why are there boot y puddles

This book is informative and very helpful in numerous ways, but I don't like that the two folks drawn sitting have bu++ puddles. Nothing wrong with a little or a lot of flappy stuff back there but a little variety would be nice. And now of course my brain has taken off with the phrase bu++ puddles and won't shush about it. There's also an oddly angled dude with no neck that I can discern in the book. The angle is bizarre as all get-out and now I've got resting head syndrome stuck in my brain as well. I do think the book could also do with drawing pages included and those muscular models for us to trace muscle forms over included as well. For the price of the book, I expected more.

Starts with stick figures, then very gradually builds up. For a beginner like me, this is great!

I have found most drawing books frustrating, even Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. For someone who is reasonably comfortable drawing, this may not be the best book, but I'm not a person like that. Also, I am studying mathematics so I need something that can "coexist comfortably" with that. My interest in drawing stems from my small scale sculpture (I seem to have some feel for that), my hopes to be able someday to work with an engineer or scientist on some layperson book/program, (including manga which boomer me is reading to help me understand today's generation), and remembering an experience in which I could not convey an idea of mine because I could not draw and words did not work nor photos. Different approaches work with different people, there is no "perfect" way to teach something. (I actually once received a commendation from the Army Reserve for teaching a set of medical symptoms by acting them out in a very "hammy" way. I got teased for it, but they were teasing me by reciting the very symptoms I was trying to teach. Success!)If you can identify with my reasons for wanting to learning to draw and why I like this book, then this may be the drawing book for you. If not, then you might want to try something else.

Daunting at first sight, yet informative.

I'm learning how to draw late in my life, mixing several styles trying to find my own. I think my natural style will end up being a mixture of the old EC Comics style mixed with some manga influences. I think this book will help me create my own style if I follow the lessons in this book. It won't be easy, but when it comes together in the end it will be worth it.

He covers all the important things to know and consider.

Eric Barrett covers areas such as gesture drawing, torso drawing, head, arm and leg. With each area he covers structure, muscles, and male/female differences, lighting, and shading. There are so many practice situations set up for you to try what he is teaching. He also covers how clothing interacts with the model and what you need to consider. Love this book.

Most approachable "How to Draw" book I have bought.

I have bought a multitude of drawing books over the last 12 years, and I believe this to be my favorite. What I found that I love about this book is it illustrated in a way that makes me feel like, "I can do this". Mr. Mullem's illustrations are drawn in the size one might draw in your own sketchbook,which is helpful to someone who is trying to learn the forms of the body and anatomy because you are not having to struggle with adjusting size along with recreating the form. the format of the book is so very approachable and full of great content without overwhelming you with too much detail.I recommend this book for a beginner as well as an experienced artist who wants to polish some areas of the body. not to mention there is also great instruction on face and head mapping. Great find!

not for complete beginners!

the books is okay for someone who is looking to learn anatomy. however don't expect it to be easy. the way they pose the figures and everything and how they expect you to be able to picture the figures are not easy...this is definitely a book i do not recommend if you literally just started wanting to learn anatomy as you will get frustrated. there are plenty of sites and youtube channels that offer great explanations so start there first and then buy this book to get practice
