Figure Drawing For Dummies\u00a0is suitable for:-<\/strong> The author says that the book is for beginners in figure drawing. Specially those with zero knowledge in drawing. But I can see some medium-level artists getting benefits from reading it. It is not %100\u00a0comprehensive when it come to anatomy and some other topics. But it is a good start. I don\u2019t recommend it for those who already know much about drawing the human figure.<\/div>\n

This is the first review I write\u00a0in this sweet blog. I plan to review some art books from time to time, as the more books you read about art, the better. To make the reviews easier to read, I though it would be much easier to list the information as points.<\/div>\n
