I was actually surprised at how helpful I found this book. I have never taken any formal art classes, but I love to draw. I can do really well with a reference image, but imagining how to draw characters in different poses has always been difficult for me. The book taught me a simple way to do this, and I believe my drawing has improved significantly! I am better able to draw characters in various poses because of the basic foundation which was given in the book. I would definitely recommend this product!
