Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Draw Like an Artist: 100 Faces and Figures is a step by step tutorial guide to human anatomical line drawing. Released 16th April 2019 by Quarto on their Quarry imprint, it's 112 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.

This guide provides a short introduction followed by 100 specific line drawing tutorials (see cover) arranged around different facial or body positions. The tutorial pages are similar to the drawings on the cover and have 3-6 steps each.

The ebook format includes an interactive table of contents. There is no index, however, the ToC is quite detailed and specific. This is a very bare bones streamlined collection. There is no detailed drawing tuition here, just the line drawings with refinements.

Three and a half stars. This is for artists who know how to draw and need some help with perspective and positioning.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
