Summary: Terrific book
Review: Of the various books I have on figure drawing this is the one I keep coming back to over and over again.

Summary: You don't have to be an artist to like this book
Review: This book contains many beautiful drawings that illustrate the techniques in expressing the human figure. True, it is not an instructional book in that it does not provide step-by-step instructions to arrive at an end result. Nonetheless, Ambrus's comments revealed a bit of the workings of his mind as he approached his subjects, and they provide a good deal of insight into the how these drawings are put together, such as which parts of a figure in each case are most attention-demanding, etc. This book is an excellent reference for the artist. Its drawings are so beautiful and plentiful that it also belongs on the coffee table!

Summary: excellent drawings, instruction and technique.
Review: This book is a wonderful resource tool that I would recommend for any aspiring student. It is different than any figure drawing book I have seen because it is full of outstanding drawings, which cover different medias, techniques and approaches--without using stick figures, and basic shapes. These drawings are taken from the studio, from realistic, natural poses. The comments on each study follow the steps Mr. Ambrus has taken, and are thoughtful, insightful, and easy to understand.
