All About Techniques in Drawing (All about Techniques: Art) 2 reviews Parramon's Editorial Team
Barron's Educational Series, 1999
Good for beginners and advanced beginners
+ Exellent
I purchased this book because it provides a quick and dirty run down of the different forms of media one can use to draw a picture. In the first section of the book, it talks about the tools you can use: graphite, colored pencils, pastels, ink, markers, charcoal and sanguine-just to name a few. ...

How to Draw the Human Head: Techniques and Anatomy 3 reviews Louise Gordon
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1983
A must for portraiture students!
+ Another Good Book
This is the best book I've seen that teaches how to draw human heads accurately without going overboard on the anatomical information. I've taken college-level figure drawing classes, and when it came time to draw the head, I've been virtually clueless! This book eliminates that feeling. It's ...

The Human Machine 11 reviews George B. Bridgman
Dover Publications, 1972
Genius conception-- sketchy implementation
+ Helpful but Constructive Anatomy is much better
Maybe 3-1/2 stars. (Idea & Layout= 5 stars. Drawing quality= 2 stars.)
Bridgman's The Human Machine is *exceedingly* ambitious in its scope, and could have been exceedingly successful to match, were it not for its *one* pretty obviously glaring problem: these drawings are exceedingly sketchy!

Art of the Pencil: A Revolutionary Look at Drawing, Painting and the Pencil 11 reviews Sherry Camhy
Watson-Guptill, 1997
Masterly and inspirational.
+ Great introduction + A superb text
I bought the book for the cover which to me was a gorgeous example of painterly drawing. The book delivers in this vein. Anyone whose sat through a lecture in college about drawing versus painting can find proof in this volume that "it ain't necessarily so". The illustrations and discussions are ...
