"Drawing from Life" is a treasure an artist, teacher, and drawing lover finds once in awhile. It is very logically layed out. I enjoyed variety of illustrations, the learning exercises, and glossary. Alas... some negatives: the price, the quality and detail of the reproductions, especially the anatomy ones. The book needs to be bigger in size and make use of detail enlargements to show the beauty of the drawings

This book gives you the bones to enrich your experience with figure drawing. Professor Brown draws from varied sources and presents helpful images along with text that is intelligent and imformative. It is filled with sketches from masters such as Da Vinci as well as descriptive sketches from Clint addressing the figure as a subject filled with motion. I have continued to refer back to the book and appreciate its portable size. This is a book to take with you and keep even if you are moving around!

I bought this book for a class I was taking and I ended up keeping it for myself once I finished the class. It is filled with information and instruction. I love this book and I very rarely keep book I buy for classes and this is one of the few I kept because I know I will use it many more times in the future. It works well for references and how to stuff.

I wish I had known about this book before! One of the best over all art books around. Covers material you would not consider on your own. Provides comprehensive solutions. Well versed in Art History as well.

It arrived in such a great condition. I bought this because I did not want to pay the college bookstore prices. And since it arrived in such a great condition I was able to sell it back to my school bookstore at the end of the year for about double the price I paid for it.

Very well written, the text includes many well-chosen quotes from various aartists. Overall, the reading is interesting and useful for understanding and apprecaiting figure drawing. Much better than most drawing books. The included illistrations are also very well chosen.

This is a very good book to learn about the methods of life drawing. There are several examples in every chapter, each from very different artists. The book is laid out well and easy to follow. It has been a good addition to my life drawing class.

Business was exceptional, even though i didnt need the book, seller followed through with the return. Thank You.

Excellent book for anyone interested in drawing the human figure. Deals well and extensively with proportion, anatomy and nuances of figure drawing. Required by my art teacher and worth the money as an on-going reference source.
