I have been drawing the human figure long enough that I can draw it well enough to be near realistic and people have even me complimented on my anatomy drawings. But as an artist I am still never happy. My problem is that I do not have a good basic construction for drawing the head and figure. When drawing the human figure from life or imagination I usually start making random marks over the entire page until the figure starts taking shape. But this causes problems; such as I never truly develop a style, make simple mistakes, still have trouble placing features on the face, drawing the form in complex poses can be troublesome, and never I can truly draw a figure without looking at reference.

I am wanting a book that will give me good basis for figure drawing without a model reference.


I already have books from these artist
