This book is a great reference for any artist who is looking more into drawing people.
If you already know the basics of facial proportions and proportions to the body, you should be all set.
This book is not for those who do not know how to draw a face already, basic facial structure is not introduced.
I did like that the book goes thru different race and genders to give a better breakdown o features. ( )

Ten-Step Drawing: People
Draw a range of figures & faces in ten easy steps
by Justine Lecouffe
This is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary.
This book is a must for those that want to draw faces or people. The book shows how to draw each facial feature from different angles and different types of the same feature! Then it proceeds to do the same for bodies. Men and women, different poses, different people, and different angles. I thought it was very thought out and detailed. Each one was broken down into parts. The book was bigger than I expected. Another Walter Foster book I am going to buy! I grew up with them in my home, my father 's hobby was painting and I saw these books all my life! ( )

Netgalley provided a digital PDF of this book so I could review it. I like it so much that I will be ordering the paperback as soon as it's for sale.

This book is beautiful, truly -- I love the realistic-looking figures and faces. I have been attempting to draw people since I was in junior high. My friend Rima would play a game where I would draw the "before" person, and she would give her a makeover, because she was much, much better at drawing than I was. I've gotten better since I was 11, but I've still never really figured out noses, ears, how to make a face look masculine without facial hair, and how to make shoes look like more than weird blobs. This book has step-by-step directions for all of these things, and a lot more. I love that there are so many different shapes of facial features presented.

There are front views, side views, and three-quarter views, too -- I draw everything from the front because I never knew how to give things the right dimensions in profile. There are pages and pages devoted to hands and feet in different positions. How to draw people in a kneeling position! How to draw someone playing a guitar!

I don't care about this personally, but since somebody might wonder... although multiple skin tones and facial feature shapes are present, there aren't different body types represented in this book. Everyone looks like a drawing of a J. Crew model. There aren't children either. ( )
