Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I think this is one of the very best books on drawing I have ever seen. Still one is always searching for inspiration and pretty girls are always a joy to draw. What I love the most is the incredible varity of poses and angles the Artist included in this book. Taking your time and working through the illustrations, a young artist will certainly master the female figure from any point of view s/he could desire. While more experianced draughtsman will find plenty of challenging material here. I took the maid illustration and redrew her as Mirielle Bouquet! I really liked the final drawing. Its wonderful stuff, but It does assume you basically know how to draw. If you are really just learning to draw, I would recommend picking up Drawing on the Rightside of the Brain along with this book. Its simply the best starter ever.

Summary: unapologetic, if nothing else
Review: If you're looking for a book on who to draw Manga-style characters, I'm sure this book is as good as any. It's loaded with examples of "pretty girls," and gives the aspiring illustrator more than enough full body poses to learn from. But to just step back for a moment, the examples in this book have to be seen to be believed. Nothing pornographic is included, but the images are dripping with fetishisms. School girls, maids, nurses, women taking showers, how to take off your panties, how naked breasts react when leaning against different objects, catwomen, mermaids, naked women wrapped in bed sheets...I think about the only fetish missing is the leather mask. Page after page, this book unapologetically presents one repressed image after the other...it's hilarious. Strangely, the book lacks things like a page of generic facial expressions or tips for drawing hands. And the broken english text for detailing the nuances of directing the "cute pose" is near unintelligable. But what does any of that matter, I guess, when all you're really interested in is drawing a panty shot as your slutty librarian with the huge, untamed breasts reaches up to grab that Mech manual. Comics rock!

Summary: Good book!
Review: It is a very good book. There are LOTS of pictures in it. It containes things like: drawing hair, eyes, breats, girls in towels, girls with sheets (is usefull to see the movement of the sheets and the folds), Chibi characters, furys and many more things. The only advantage is that there are only 2 step by step instructions... so you need a basic book if you want to use this book.
