Henry Yan's Figure Drawing (Techniques and Tips)
Henry Yan's Figure Drawing (Techniques and Tips)
Henry Yan has a nice painterly style and energy to his figures. Some pieces are created like Chinese paintings, not drawing in too much details to invite viewers to fill in the details themselves. It's a very inspiring book.
