Review: From a teacher's perspective... - After reading the reviews for this book, I felt that I had to add my own opinion to balance out what other people have said. My first thought is that people need to read the title; Figure It Out!: A Beginner's Guide to Drawing People. This is exactly what this book is, a beginner's book. While it does expect you to have some basic level of drawing skill, most of the drawings build the body from basic geometric shapes. This is the starting block for how most good beginner art books teach you to learn to draw anything. So it does pass that basic qualification. Next up and possibly what I like most about this book, is that it shows you shapes, and basic line forms that make up the parts of the body. I know growing up and going through my art classes, the one thing I struggled with was when the teacher said to "look". The problem with that approach is that until you know what you're looking for, you're a little in the dark. That is where this book excels. It gives you the basics of the human body construction and the contour lines that generally tend to be used to achieve those results. However, this is also where I get a little frustrated with some of the other reviews. All bodies are put together the same. However, there are quite a large variety of variations that happen with size, gender, race, muscle/fat ratios and cultural norms for how the human body is precisely put together for each of those things. Reviewers who are upset with this book for not having people of color, cultures or other ethnic races need to understand that those are all people who can be drawn with this book, but you will need to start with the information the writer gives you and then adapt it to fit each unique person. The author could easily write a whole book that would be titled, Figure It Out!: An Advanced Guide to Drawing People, which would cover a ton of differences that occur within all races, cultures, etc. However, those things would weigh down this book with too many choices and confuse the beginner. I'm sure you might wonder why I said this was a teacher's review. I'm an art teacher in an inner city school district where the kids can be easily frustrated at new things that they feel they have to do perfectly first time out. My students can't quite grasp the differences between professional, student learner and just plain quitting before you even begin. However, I've shown them multiple examples from this book concerning eyes, having them compare their own eyes to the generalized types, and they seemed to grasp the differences better. When they did attempt to draw their own eyes, they seemed to be a bit more confident in their attempts and didn't complain that they didn't know what they were doing. In short, they had a better grasp of what their lines should look like (differences included) because they knew to compare and contrast the line examples with the lines of their own eyes. So, should you buy this book? If you are a beginner or a more experienced person who would like to find some tips and tricks to draw bodies better or faster, yes. If you are a greatly experienced person with the human body, I'd say no. There are better, more in depth books out there, but then that's what you would be looking for anyway, not a beginner book. So I say this book for value and price is worth is and advertised and titled correctly. I hope this helps you with your body drawing book buying! Review: Great art book!! - Excellent book, daughter loves it, she started learning from it right away and found the instruction easily understood, fun to follow along with, wishes she'd had it long ago. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,901 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Human Figure Art (Books) #84 in Pencil Drawing #97 in Figure Drawing Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,342 Reviews | ## Images ![Figure It Out!

I've never been very good at faces and human figures, however, as I find they always look off. I ordered this book to help me in this area, again drawing only for my own enjoyment. What this book does a good job on is providing lots of examples and tips and getting faces and bodies to look correct, e.g. placement of features on the face, or proportions of body parts, etc. It also helps you understand the differences between "idealized" faces and bodies versus realistic ones. The examples also make for great practice, including step-by-step instructions. What I find lacking in this book are instructions for "drawing what you see." That isn't this books purpose, and there are many other good books on that subject. Still, it seems this book would be good for people drawing from imagination, e.g. fashion designers, illustrators, etc. This isn't to say the drawings are cartoonish - they are not - but there's nothing in here about how to see a model properly, e.g. Still, for what this book is, it's definitely a very good resource that I would recommend to beginners in the art of face/figure drawing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Figure It Out!
