Review
"I am particularly pleased that the author addresses CHARACTER so heavily in her presentation of material. That is, after all, what plays are about."

character drawing5
This book is very detailed in showing how to draw the human figure and facial features... it has greatly improved my ability to draw for costume and fashion. I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs a little help with drawing a human form with garments and attitude. It made a HUGE difference for me.

You must be joking. Where is the item?1
How can I rate the item when I have not received it yet?
Apparently it was posted Dec. 2nd 2007, and today is Jan. 2nd - It's not here yet.
Any ideas?
Sincerely,

Norbert Kammel

Great book!5
This book is very interesting. It has taken a very difficult concept (figure drawing) and broken it down into easy to understand step by step directions. The author's costume sketches were very helpful as well.
