First, let me say I was an ignorant padawon when it came to drawing (I am a beginner with only a couple of classes). I bought a book that caught my attention - Force - Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators (even though I am not an animator). After a couple of reads - the force was finally with me! Very good book! You will learn a lot.



For M who says this book is bad for beginners, let me say the opposite. A beginner should grasp the ideas from this book (and the Force book) as he/she learns to draw. With these ideas floating around in the back of your mind as you learn to draw better, you will have a much deeper understanding of great concepts as you develop as a artist. I read these books and did not try to draw everything (the first few times through) or use them as a step by step guide. Instead, I read them to understand Michael's ideas. They opened my eyes to understanding everything I draw better.



Overall - A++. I hope to see more from Michael Mattesi. Good luck and may the Force be with you!
