Book, Human Proportions for Artists

FORMAT: Soft Cover Only

"As a portrait instructor, I am often asked to recommend books that contain basic information on proportions of the head that form the basis of my portrait drawing class. While there are many old standards to recommend, I've found a new book that contains the information students want to have. Not only does this book offer proportions for the head (for achieving accurate drawing and likenesses), but it also has an equally complete section on proportions of the human body, with special chapters on hands and feet. "

"Best of all, it is published with a sturdy, spiral binding making it very easy to lay open for reference in the painting studio. So many books are not studio-friendly. This one is! It's meant to be used as a close-at-hand reference and I recommend it for my portrait students who can't take all the notes they need to in class!"
