The best Figure Drawing eBooks: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

well, the bargue plates are helpful, but it depends on what you want to do. Do you want to draw portraits and figures in a traditional sense then yes they are very helpful and are a great way to start. However, if you wanna be an animator, concept artist, or do anything like that then I would suggest on some other books. I recommend Steve Huston's book , wonderful artist, a great teacher, and taught at many studios. Loomis books are good but their look or design seems outdated, still have much valuable knowledge but I would not recommend starting out with that. Also look around for artists/ teachers on youtube, or courses. Decent guide to knowing wtf the fundamentals are

I recommend Proko's Youtube channel,

Steve Huston has a good book

Drawabox is also very good drawing channel

The Practice and Science of Drawing (Fully Illustrated and Formatted for Kindle) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WMA7DS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Qojbzb7RESEXZ

I would say Harold speed also pretty inspirational, but it actually looks like she almost copied him word for word on some parts.

I'd say there is probably a book out there for anything you're striving for. Fantasy watercolor art, figurative watercolor, urban watercolor, so you should go for one that is covering the subject you like most! I'm a fantasy lover myself and I'm a big fan of the books by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, I have 3 of them and they all begin with basic tools, and techniques before getting into painting full works. Good Luck!
