MANY fantastic reviews had me taking a chance and ordering this book. If you are at a beginner level with line drawing and the quality of line–then it is a excellent buy.Many teachers do not stress these force lines. I guess I was lucky as mine did (years ago in the 70’s)In this book, he stresses force lines of figure drawing and the quality of the line (light touch, dark, heavy) as a way to show the force in a figure–therefore, adding a new dimension to your flat looking drawings IF you permanently use the same pressure on the pencil as your method. Or IF you draw forceful and are worried to loosen up and let the pencil flow on the paper along force lines until you have the figure. It really didn’t help me at ALL, as I learned figure drawing this way. There are many of his and student drawings, and that’s fine, but in all fairness and honesty–it didn’t help me. I was disappointed in all the glowing reviews?!

I’ve added this book to my required book list for Figure Drawing for Animation. Fantastic book, and very helpful to my students. I see a marked improvement in ability within reading just the first chapter.

This book has a lot of fantastic drawings of people in dynamic positions and personality. But, the book only covers a few basic principles and doesn’t go into what I was hoping for such as the use of lines to make a sense of movement or intensity such as whisper lines following a fist.
Excellent, but not what I had hoped for.
