Summary: Good all in one book for the beginner
Comment: Getting started with drawing or painting can be overwhelming, especially if your using many of the great books out there to learn by.

This one guides you along very well in that it eases you into the rules of perspective and portraying anatomy in a gentle and easy to absorb manner.

Stan Smith uses simple drawings rather than photographs to explain portraying anatomy, which I found easy to reproduce. This gave me the confidence to continue on and wasn't as intimidating as some so called beginner books can be.

He then follows on with examples of perspective that can go into a little to much detail in some areas, but covers the basics very well.

The composition section was especially helpful as it uses both samples of famous works and simple manikin and object set up to explain proper composition, and he does it in a way that won't be beyond the beginner.

Overall its a great all in one starter book. If you don't want to waste time reading seperate books on each subject then this ones for you.
