Our youngest son is a budding artist, still finding his wings, and this book is perfect for what he's trying to achieve. Figure drawing, perspective, muscles, bone structure---all of it is covered in David H. Ross' newest book called Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators. An amazing publication.
The high quality paper used in printing it first impressed me. It's amazing. I can't praise it enough. No matter what sort of drawing that came to mind, I was able to find it. And as a popular illustrator specializing in comic-style art, Ross is an expert. He's gifted in the way our son admires. Some books just cover the outside of the human figure, but Ross gets below the surface demonstrating why bodies move as they do. And he presses the importance of knowing this so the artist can draw freehand (as the title says) and not have to rely on props.
Our son has an impressive collection of art/drawing books and for animation types of drawing, this one is the best.
