jg2758's review against another edition
5.0
One of my all-time favorite art instruction books. It answers so many questions that I developed while drawing and painting. For example, which artist uses which type of head construction: sphere, box, cylinder, other? I never found another book that acknowledges the choice, let alone shows me how to analyze the drawings of my choice.
This book has a very good treatment of lines and planes in particular. I also love the little gems like page 31 where the author caught da Vinci practicing his shading!
I'm calling it read, but I come back to this book whenever I have a question, so I'll never truly be done. Solidly worth five stars.
