Customer Reviews
I expected more.
Of all the books in this series this is the worst. It doesn’t discuss different ways to draw the face or ways to discuss forms and planes of the face. He makes you draw portraits maybe 2 times. He talks about proportions in only one chapter, but he doesn’t go that in depth
