Ten-Step Drawing: People is a tutorial and instruction book to drawing people in a variety of poses by Justine Lecouffe. Due out 1st Sept 2020 from Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback format.
The titles in this series are all formatted in a similar manner and this one is no exception.
A very short general introduction includes a capsule instruction page on how to use the book, and how the tutorials are set up (basic guidelines, geometric step by step shapes, refinement, finishing). The following tutorial chapters are specific for different
elements of facial anatomy in various poses and include specific anatomy: eyes, noses, etc,
leading to some full studies (relaxed standing, at ease, profile standing, perchinig and leaning).
I like these tutorial booklets, they're inexpensive and full of useful
info for artists looking for improvement in their own work. It's nice to
see them being released for beginning artists and
learners.
Four stars - for what it covers and for a short tutorial guide, it does the job admirably well.
Disclosure: I received an early eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
