Drawing: The Head & Figure, by Jack Hamm



Drawing: The Head & Figure, by Jack Hamm, is one of my favorite art books. It demonstrates countless techniques for drawing every part of the human body. Not only does it have great visuals but the text is spot on with accurate descriptions. 

More than anything else I return to this book time and again to practice drawing the human figure. It has drawings in pen and pencil, which I appreciate, as I use both media.

It has been in print for generations yet only cost me $12.95. I kick myself for not getting it earlier even though I have had it for years. I find it that valuable as so many anatomy books lack the thoroughness of this one.
