Summary: Great resource for artists
Review: As a former student of Barbara's, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning to draw better. Although it could never be as informative and inspirational as actually taking her class, this book is about as close as you can get. All of her lectures are included with many fine drawing examples culled from her students' works as well as from her own portfolio. Although it only captures the barest fraction of her knowledge and talent, this book is an excellent resource for any artist, from the novice looking for direction, to the accomplished draughtsman who could maybe use a few tips and reminders.

Summary: New Dean of Illustrators!
Review: As an artist and past student of Barbara, I felt this book deserves my first book review here!
I truly wished this book was made available to all of us many years ago, to be more exact I wish this book was made available to me twenty years ago. Barbara has taught alongside some of the best illustrators of her time, and has been an influence in directing some of today's best.
About her book, for so long we have made Andrew Loomis' books as our drawing textbook and deservedly so, today and finally we can all experience Barbara's teaching in her book. You will learn about drawing the figure, construction of folds over the body, OPINION, rhythm, and continuity and more, by looking at her examples and reading her book.
Basically I'm writing this book review, because people like my younger brother, for example, in another country and love to draw, should all know a drawing book like this is finally available, and shouldn't be without! I still wish I had this book sooner!

Summary: The Heart of a Good Drawing
Review: Barbara Bradley's book, "Drawing People" is a completely comprehensive approach to figure drawing.
She covers every technical challenge, from physically setting-up to draw and various mediums to use, to proper figure proportions and nuances in facial and hand gestures, to portraying correct fabric texture and draping on the figure.
She not only conveys every technical aspect of learning good draughtsmanship, she speaks to the heart and soul of the artist, instructing them to form an opinion of a subject before translating it to paper.
The subtle power of her expressive poses suceeds in conveying the true essence of great figure drawing...the emotional heart of portraying a human being.
Beginners will learn from it but this book is easily an art instructors' secret weapon.
Sincerely,
Sandrah Raef Moles

Summary: A how to book of drawing for all who want to draw better.
Review: Barbara Bradley's New book "Drawing People" is a joy to those of us who love to draw and want to learn the skills and the methods that clearly she has mastered. Her many years of teaching drawing give her the insights about how best to get started as well as how to begin to really see. I love the clearity of her examples and her spirit and knowlege of the internal process between our ears and in our heart, encouraging us to better understand what we feel and enabling us to grow our ability to observe the world around us and to represent our opions about it skillfully. Too often drawing is regarded as a mechanical process.
Not so here! Bravo!
