Practical advice and easy-to-follow instructions make this inclusive drawing book as relevant today as when the original titles were first published.

Review:
How to Draw Classic Head’s and Faces in a great how to drawing book reminiscent of the sixties. If you are wanting to learn how to draw and are a fan of Mad Men, than this book will really appeal to you. The sketching techniques reminded me very much of this show, with similar hair styles and outfits.
The step by step instructions are very easy to follow and very easy to pick up, even if you haven’t done much drawing in the past.
Great book.
