Heads, Features and Faces (Dover Anatomy for Artists)

Wonderfully illustrated and well describes what needs to be considered when drawing the face. The book is very helpful.

Although the book seems deceptively small it has enough images and examples to keep you busy for a long time. Great way to get into portrait drawings, easy to understand, good price. The book itself is of great quality. It came right on time and with no bent pages or scratches.

Mr. Bridgeman is an excellent teacher. His lessons are kinda dry but easy to understand. Mr Bridgemam is old school and has taught many artists. We used his books in university and you can't find any better. There's prettier texts and more current ways of teaching, but his instruction books are used in university and have taught many artists the foundations of art.

Easy to follow. Not real defined as far as soft variations but the angles are good and you can practice quick drawings from this book.

nice display, but didn’t help me learn anything sadly

This nook, and the others in the series, are more like looking at another artist's sketchbook. There is very little instruction. Still, they are helpful to look at form and structure.

This was recommended by my painting instructor to help with my learning how to draw portraits. This author has an entire series that address many aspects of drawing that my instructor recommends and has used for years. The price was great too!

What more can I say, it's Bridgman. Well, I could say, if you are planning on working your way through any of his books do not seek to copy him line for line. It won't work and you will only end up losing your mind. Just try to figure out what he is showing you, and then copy him. Draw every drawing in the book, and when you're done you will be able to draw. There you go, have fun.

When you can't draw the face properly this goes above and beyond to show you how

Pude acompanhar todo o processo de preparação e envio da encomenda. Esta chegou antes do prazo determinado, através de um ótimo serviço, e em excelentes condições. A qualidade das ilustrações presentes no livro é igualmente de se elogiar, tanto pela fantástica habilidade de Bridgman, quanto pela própria impressão. Contudo, é necessário enfatizar, não é um livro para iniciantes. Sugiro que, aqueles que pretendem dar início a seus estudos de desenho, busquem por livros que expliquem a anatomia detalhadamente, como Stephen Rogers Peck, por exemplo.

Well done examples

Perfetto per chiunque interessi l'anatomia e come disegnare il volto in modo piu accurato

A refaire et rerefaire les exercices je sens vraiment la différence, je le recommanderai sans souci. Le livre commence par des exercices sur les différentes parties du visage puis reprend des modèles connus pour expliquer en situation réelle comment ça se passe, le tout en crayonné avec beaucoup d'exemples.
