Review: Transformative. - I have reaped the fruits of many, many classics: Goldfinger, Richer, Hale, Bargue, and countless others. I owe these giants much of my ability to draw the figure accurately. Anatomical knowledge is indispensable, but it won't help if the overall drawing is lifeless. The Quick Pose focuses on the first critical step of any life drawing: the gesture. Meads addresses weight/balance, line, shadow, accuracy, drapery and foreshortening strategies - all while avoiding the ponderous "over-anatomized " pitfall. It's an inspiring reminder not to skip this initial, invigorating step. As painters often say, "if there's something wrong with your painting, it's probably a problem with the drawing" Well, if something wrong with your life drawing, it's probably because you skipped the gesture. Excellent book.
Review: Great Book - The best book about figure drawing that I found so far. I do not need better one. Great explanations and pictures and well as very good suggestions how to practice. I have a Kindle addition which I read on my ipad. I will buy hard copy as well.

She is such a talented artist. This book is full of beautiful figure drawings that fill the whole page, and I can't wait to dive in and learn more about the figure.
