Maas method is great
5 Stars
Maas method is great
This is a great book that teaches what is called the maas method. It is a mix between grid and freehand and it is excellent. The only drawback is you have to draw the exact size of your reference. The method isnt perfect but it is good. I attached a portrait I did with the maas method. One of the pluses of this book is that is teaches how to draw facial features, accessories and hair. This is great for a beginner artist like me. I recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete and super effective course on portraiture -
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019
Justin Maas’s online footprint, social media presence and his delectable work had a profound impact on my own work, as on many others, who follow him devoutly. His tutorials are excellent and his approach to drawing, to teaching and to art in general is sensible, practical, accessible and super effective. In this book, he unfolds his entire process and affords ANYONE with the will to learn, to conquer the subject of portraiture with elegance and clarity. This is by far the most comprehensive, and the best learning experience I have had when it comes to drawing - despite the fact that I have been drawing quite a few years before Justin was even born. If you are aspiring to draw or paint portraits, regardless of your current level, this is the book for you. Beyond the excellent lessons, I gained so many insights and pure joy seeing the fantastic reproductions of some of his stellar, now famous, works. Justin also happens to be a humble pleasant and super friendly man, and I am absolutely delighted to add my warmest recommendation. You will love this book - guaranteed.
