Description:
From the Back Cover
The result is the only art instruction book which not only illustrates details of the body but directs your attention at every stage to a host of subtle points of shading, curvature, proportion, foreshortening, muscular tension, variations due to extreme age or youth, and both major and minor differences in the structure and representation of the male and female figure. Comprehensive discussions and drawings cover the eyes; nose, mouth and chin; ear; head, trunk, back and hips; neck, throat, and shoulder; shoulder and arm; hand and wrist; leg; foot; the complete figure; and other interdependent groups of structures. This is the human figure as the artist, art student, and art teacher must know it in order to avoid many deceptive errors unfortunately common in much modern portraiture, painting, and illustrative art.
Second edition, revised and enlarged. Foreword by George Bridgman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book
My daughter went from "I can't draw" to "wow, I can draw really well" within a day of receiving this book. It is a very old book, but it is well written and illustrated and explanations are immaculate. Wish I had purchased this before all the others!
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
This book came highly recommended and I can see why. The features of the face and body explained to make understanding how to draw them easier and accompanied by drawings. This book has improved my own understanding of drawing from life and my work is better for it.

My own knowledge, I’m studying art and want to increase my figurative knowledge.
5.0 out of 5 stars Eloquent drawings and written explanations.
Great classic, love the subtly of Vanderpoel's drawings. Just wish it was a larger format now to really study him closer. Nonetheless handy little book to have lying about to pick up and read over various sections.
3.0 out of 5 stars Glad to have but...
The illustrations are amazing and some good tips, but the book is very dated, very short and each illustration is tiny. Like less than half an inch tiny.

I had this book before and lent it out, it never came back. A classic small format insightful text on the structure of human form. It's one of those books you just want to have and keep.
Very disappointed!!! I bought an older version 2, instead of version 4!!!
Very disappointed! I didn't realize until I purchased this Dover version just now and quickly browsed through the images that it's different from "The Human Figure" by the same author. I bought it because I thought they were the same book but just by a different publisher, and since it's more expensive I thought it may have better resolution images. Wrong!!!I've just found out that the Dover version is based on the 2nd edition, whereas the other one is based on the 4th edition.I've just purchased the 4th edition version (https://www.Bolo.com.au/dp/B00AOBDX0E/ref=pe_1007802_166382322_TEM1DP). It definitely has better images and better contents.

Brilliant figure and head drawing learning guide! Including for beginners!
Brilliant drawing guide. Lots of excellent pictures for you to copy and learn from (noses, mouths, ears, figures, etc.). I learned so much. You can draw right on the pages next to the figures. Also, excellent text to guide drawing but you can learn just from copying too! I liked it enough to purchase a second copy to go through again. You can see yourself improve!! I believe it would be excellent for anyone, at any level. I am using at the beginner's level, but the tips and examples are superb for anyone. No more simplistic, cartoonish heads, etc.!! Small and powerful!!!
