Great Tracing Book!
I am an interior design student who LOVES this book. I had been struggling with drawing people in my renderings and this book really saved my drawings. You can be the best interior artist and have perfected drawing rooms, but if you stick an akward looking person in the center of your room....you have just completely ruined it. This book helps artists, interior designers, architects, students, teachers....everyone.

It has pages and pages filled with people of ALL sizes and shapes. It also has people sitting, laying down, kneeling, etc. There are some pictures of cars, boats, planes, & trees/plants.
Conviently, all of the book's pages can be torn out with perforated edges. You can choose which page you want and slip it right underneath your drawing to trace.

I looked and lookd for a tracing guide and this book is the best out there. If you need help with any kind of human rendering, this book will do the trick.

Excellent Resource
As a landscape architecture student this is a great resource for finding all types of people and trees and cars in all kinds of positions, plan view or perspective. Its an essential reference when you are looking for variation.

Retro 70's
1995 edition with 1970's figures and automobiles. Classiclly, this has been an architectural resource book for any office doing presentation work, though, today the content is dated.
