1.0 out of 5 stars This Is What I Waited Over A YEAR For?!, December 9, 2000

This review is from: Drawing Sexy Women (Hardcover)

There is no doubt that Thorne is one of the most gifted comic artists around. More is the pity. Given his increasingly meager output in recent years, this long-awaited book was a huge disappointment. His sketches and anecdotes are fine, but not worth the 90% of this thin volume. The how-to section is what every fan of Thorne's would be most interested in. This "instructional" chapter looks like a direct rip-off of "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" (a much better investment). Aspiring comic artists should also pick up Joe Kubert's new book. For Shame, Frank!

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst money I've spent, October 26, 2000

By	J. Gabriel Estrada Quintero "gabrielsantino@y... (Mexico City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Drawing Sexy Women (Hardcover)

I bought this "book" thinking it'd add something to my training in drawing comics, but this is not just an awfully written book, it is also one of the clumsiest and clichéd drawings I've seen in other self-help books, not that this one is one of those. For more than 70 pages the writer rambles about women and what they are to finally give us extremely general rules or advices on how to improve your drawing. ANY other similar book that you can find will be of much more help than this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars SULTRY AND ENTICING..., August 5, 2006

By	N. P. Mayer (Dunedin, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Drawing Sexy Women (Hardcover)

It wasn't what I was thinking it would be.

Instead it is a facinating look into Frank Thorne's life and his remembrances of women. A view into the things that shape the artist.

If your an artist, or comic professional, or want to be it will be worth the look.

If your looking for an instructional textbook look elsewhere.
