drawing the clotheed figure

well, the first four or five pages had given some direction on how to , but after that the book was mostly loaded with many sketches as examples. the sketches were very good, but i am one who needs a little more tutoring and exercises. i would have given it three and a half stars but i don't know how to make a half of star!

Using pencils, charcoal, pastels, pen and ink, watercolours, felt pens and more, Giovanni Civardi teaches how to draw the people around us. He shows how to simplify the human figure, with illustrations and an easy-to-understand section on the importance of anatomy and proportions. Further explanations about tone, shadows and backgrounds give helpful advice on composing drawings with maximum impact. A wide range of techniques are included exploring folds and creases in fabric, dress style, texture, skin tones and perspective. Excellent examples of single figure studies, groups of people and subjects in situations such as the famous square of Montmartre offer lots of inspiration, making this book an invaluable addition to any artist's library.
