I didn't know what to expect when I first got the book. I was actually quite intimidated since the book's drawings were so good, and I was still learning how to draw the human figure. I especially liked the sections on foreshortening and perspective of the human body. Unlike some other art books, these elements were actually taught which was a big PLUS for me. I didn't really like how some sections of the book were quite vague, and since I'm a visual learner, it needed more diagrams. The body types were also almost virtually the same (the models were mostly slim women and it also had its share of muscular men), however the techniques taught were very good. I would definately recommend this to the beginner, however he or she should know a bit about drawing the human figure. Overall, it's an excellent book to learn techniques to drawing and painting the human anatomy.
