Very fun, and, also, 'inspiring' to read... ;-) - This paperback version of the book is 176 pages thick; and, contains example drawings(pen/pencil/charcoal)/watercolour paintings on each and every single page; too, there are detailed and clear step by step explanations being given explaining all of the many different techniques that were used to produce each example 'drawing/painting'. Frankly, I have only just received it in through the post; so, I haven't had time to read through it all, yet; but, immediately, I had to go take a look inside...and, so, I quickly glimpsed through going from cover to cover; then, I decided to try reading a few pages/passages; and, yes, I was very impressed by the quality of the writing/useful explanations/but, especially, by the fact that the examples given on each page do truly make me feel 'inspired' enough to wish to start drawing along... ;-) NOTE: This is not a book for those who are strongly into 'realism'...; instead, this book encourages you to 'experiment' with learning figure drawing; concerning, lines/blind contour drawing/outlines/mass/weight/direction/proportions/scribbles/design/concepts for form building/-etc. LATEST UPDATE After buying the book, and, looking through it. Next, I hopped over to YouTube to do a quick search to find: Bill Buchman...there I encountered seeing a few video clips of him teaching; I also discovered he has an online web site: [...], as well as, a number of teaching videos. One of these teaching videos is also related to this particular book, it's called: Art Is An Attitude/Essential Exercises by Bill Buchman...which I also went and brought. Right now, I'm watching both the video/and, reading the book. The two things seem to work together really well; the book explains everything in great detail...; while the video shows the drawing processes in actual action. My verdict is having both book/video together is very useful, as well as, being 'inspiring'. However, you could just chose to work with either one; but, my guess is, if you like either the book/video...then, you're also going to be sorely 'tempted' to buy both. Review: Love this book perfect for Life Drawing inspiration - I absolutely love this book and it’s always by my side I took up life drawing classes “recently after a long break after Covid and this really inspired my drawing practice and it has become much more creative and imaginative with lots of different examples of how to draw the human body it’s a wonderful book and I thoroughly recommend it It’s a great book to dip in and out of as and when you need and re-inspires you my life drawing has improved dramatically because of this book absolute must have The last 3 images of my review are my own drawings … ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 105,999 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 85 in Figure Drawing 99 in Human Figures in Art 111 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (209) | | Dimensions | 21.77 x 1.09 x 25.37 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0823033147 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0823033140 | | Item weight | 658 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | 7 Feb. 2011 | | Publisher | Watson-Guptill | ## Images ![Expressive Figure Drawing: New Materials, Concepts, and Techniques - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CwuF6VhQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT book!
