Drawing people is one of the most difficult skills to perfect. How can you make sure the body is in proportion? And how do you show a person is moving? This easy-to-use guide will help you develop your drawing ability and make your sketches look like the real thing! On each page you’ll learn to draw a range of different people of all ages, who are doing a range of activities and sports, from mothers rocking their babies and to teenagers and children doing karate or running.
