Worthy!

Lack of facial illustration, emotion, expression, etc...Not quite a good "first book" on the human figure.

"Dynamic Figure Drawing" by Burne Hogarth I've withheld my comments and review of this text for a couple of years, because Hogarth is one of the artists and instructors whose work is not easily placed in regard to other authors...
