Reviews

Artist’s Choice Five Star Gold Award! —ImagineFX Magazine

"Few art of anatomy books boast quite as much awe-inspiring style and originality as this one from fantasy artist and teacher, Patrick J Jones!" —ImagineFX Magazine

"Patrick is a phenomenal artist . . . as well as a wonderful teacher." —Dan Dos Santos, Multi award-winning artist

"Once in a rare while, an art instruction book comes along that can be appreciated by anyone, no matter if you want to learn to draw or not. Patrick Jones’s fresh, innovative approach breaks the human body down into shapes and rhythms that can easily be committed to memory, demystifying the art of figure drawing in the process. Much more than an anatomy book, this guide explains how to use knowledge of the human form to produce drawings with style and grace, using pastel, pencil, and charcoal techniques and tools." —Bud Plant
