Mastering Drawing: The Human Figure - question

[ramoutar]

This book (Mastering Drawing: The Human Figure) was written by Jack Faragasso, one of Frank Reilly's students.

Does anyone know if the book is any good? I'm thinking about ordering it but wanted some opinions first...

Thanks.

No it isn't any good, there's maybe 1 or 2 good points made but it isn't worth your money. Kchen's notes here in the life drawing section are a lot more helpful, or buy vilppu's life drawing book. Both are better.

The chapter on relationships helped me a lot, but most of the other stuff has a wierd do what i say and draw everything like this approach. I wish i hadnt spent $40 on it.

He was one of Rielly's students, but he was more of a note-taker than an artist. It's not that great of a book. Save your money.

Coolio, thanks for the info (sounds like I dodged a bullet!).
