Not a stand alone book, but the essential compliment to books with a more traditional approach to figure drawing, with their concentration on anatomy, proportions, representation. I can't think of a better way to find one's way to a more personal drawing style, to escape the many imitative traps of representational methods.

With Rush, Peck and Robert Beverly Hale, Nicolaides makes my figure drawing library complete.

My brother is the artist of pencil, charcoal, acrylics and oils, but you learn a lot about human creativity even if you are a writer and reader like me.

Nice pictues of how other artists have approached the human form. The author also includes many drawing excercises along with examples of student drawings.

One of the best books out there on drawing. I've never made it through all the exercises, but some of the exercises were new to me and they opened up more avenues of seeing.

In light of recent reviews, I feel compelled to advocate it. I've taught university life drawing for over 16 years. If you follow the exercises and do as many as required, your drawings WILL improve immensely. While I agree it is in complete opposition to hard edged, refined type drawings--it is so only as a means. When you skip Nicolaides' experiential cohesive gestures, mass drawings and cross contours and straight through to exacting control, your drawings will remain stiff, disconnected and they won't sit naturally in space (a figure is in perspective--just like a house). It's easy to go from loose to tight drawing but very hard to go from tight to loose (yet accurate) because it requires more discipline, focus, quick, accurate observation and excellent hand eye control. These exercises hone those skills.

A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.

This is the best book on drawing that has ever been written, and it's the only one I still own. Every time I see a copy at a used bookstore, I buy it and give it to a friend.

This book was a great read!

In the Introduction, Nicolaides states, "As the exercises are described, it is assumed that a nude model is available."

This is not a casual "Learn to Draw" type of book, but is meant as an intensive, three-or-four-hours-a-day-for-a-year type of instruction. From what I gather, it is meant to be a reproduction of his in-person class. Almost every exercise starts with "The model is asked...."

You could definitely take some of the exercises and adapt them for use without a live model, and he even speaks to this: "You will find that, with a few exceptions, the exercises apply just as much to things as to people."

There are some great nuggets in this book, and it is a classic for a reason. But perhaps a bit much for people who are not actively enrolled in art school.
