Book Description
From understanding the basics of human anatomy to capturing the grace of the female nude to accurately depicting a person’s figure and form, this covers it all: choosing and using tools and materials, capturing both still poses and motion, and completing exciting, skill-building projects. “Detailed and engaging projects. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal.
Customer Reviews:
It's overpriced.......2006-06-20
"The Beginner's Guide to Drawing People" by Patricia Monahan
It is way overpriced. Besides, offering a drawing book that offers FEMALE nude studies, and neglects entirely, MALE nude studies, does not make the book a bargain, especially when it is titled "Drawing PEOPLE". If a book is about drawing PEOPLE, shouldn't there be MALE people as well?
This book has 216 pages. That's twice the number of pages that most figure drawing books have, and the FOUR authors still limit it to nude female anatomy? Is that sexist, or merely neglectful?
The best "instructional" books always come from the singular vision of one author. Sure enough, this book has a "fractured" feel.

Book Description
The human body is one of the most intriguing subjects in the world of art, but its subtle curves and shapes can be a challenge for beginning artists. Basic Anatomy and Figure Drawing provides artists with clear and helpful information about the skeletal and muscular structures and how to apply this knowledge to create accurate renderings of the human form. The detailed, 32-page instruction book introduces fundamental drawing techniques--from holding the pencil to creating realistic textures and shading--making it a wonderful resource for beginning artists.

Book Description
For most beginners, people are the most rewarding, yet the most difficult subject. But experienced artists know a variety of secrets and shortcuts which are revealed here by a popular art educator. Ten progressive step-by-step demonstrations turn a beginner into a practiced artist by emphasizing particular challenges such as proportion, posture, balance, and clothing, as well as the elusive facial expression qualities of personality and character. Each project matches a unique combination of subject and medium: young woman standing (charcoal); young man standing (soft pencils); people on holiday (pastel pencils); child sitting (pencil); girl dancing (charcoal and chalk); wedding group (range of pencils); children playing (pastel pencils); people in sepia (conté); people sitting (colored pencils); and family gathering (line and wash).
Customer Reviews:
Brilliant!.......2007-04-11
I have taught art for the last 20 years. I teach both 11-18 year olds and adults and bought this book because the most difficult area for beginners is learning to draw the human figure. Few other books manage to help beginners; they usually assume prior knowledge and understanding of the subject, but this book begins with basics, showing and explaining to readers how to look, see, understand shape, negative space, proportion, structure, tone, fabric folds and texture. At any point, readers can stop and either leave their drawings or carry on to extremely detailed finish. The variety of subjects and materials used are also refreshing and with every project, there is an alternative picture for readers to work from and an example of the original drawing in an alternative medium.
I wish I'd had this book when I was learning to draw, or at least over the last 20 years since I've been teaching. Many of my students of all ages and levels have responded brilliantly to this book and have improved speedily and well. I would recommend it to anyone and will certainly buy more books by this author.

"How to Draw People" by Susie Hodge
I have learned by now, to sense an "alert" at certain key words found on the cover of drawing books, that indicate gimmicky advertising promises, and these kind of books never measure up to their purpose. Warning Words such as: "ultimate," or "complete-guide-to" or "absolute" and so forth. Good drawing books never use extreme claims. The Warning Word in "How to Draw People" is on the back cover:
"...the ESSENTIAL starting point for beginners who want to learn the basics and enjoy drawing."
So, with the word "ESSENTIAL," the author/publisher is telling us that this method is EXCLUSIVE of all other drawing methods. None of the other methods will work. Only this method. This method is the very ....ESSENCE.
The back cover goes on to clarify:
"10 practical demonstrations broken down into STEP-BY-STEP STAGES".
So much for how the publisher saw this book. Allow me to tell you how I saw it. On the page of each "step-by-step" lesson, I saw illustrations that I could never draw, but worse, 1/2 to 3/4ths of the lesson pages were full of wordy text, attempting to clarify what the author's illustrations could not teach.
On page 13 there are 2 illustrations of the SIMPLIFIED FIGURETTE, or BLOCK PUPPETS. Mind you now, that's 2 pictures, and NOT 2 pages full of pictures of the human figure image that most books use many times over to show the human figure sitting, standing, bending, and/or lying down. NOT a single SIMPLIFIED FIGURETTE is used to show any kind of human ACTION, or activity at all. No ball-throwing, no jumping, no kicking, no bending around, no punching. Nothing. Nada. Ninguno. Zip. This book is supposed to be ONLY about drawing PEOPLE and nothing else. But they are people who just sit or stand like posing for some photograph.
The author is limited to using only one single style of drawing. There are several styles or methods possible. Most drawing books show a little of each. For example, you can use blocks, or cubes, or triangles to roughly draw the human figures. You might use sticks, or even OVALS. Then there are Line Drawings, and Gesture Drawings. This author relies almost entirely on Line Drawings Only. So if you hope to get a broad or general view such as most beginner books teach, you will not find that here. The author's drawings are rather perfect. So if a beginner tries to draw perfect LINE DRAWINGS, and fails, how is that beginner going to feel? Just terrible. I know I would. That's a method of STEP-BY-STEP instruction that I call very hurtful to a BEGINNER.
This book is so strange, that it does not even mention drawing on ordinary NEWSPRINT [the common drawing paper that is the same stuff that newspapers are printed on] in the section on MATERIALS. I just reviewed another book today that says: "Newsprint is invaluable for sketching and preliminary work." Go figure.
Many BEGINNER artists are children. With all the wordy text on the lesson pages, this would not be an easy drawing book for children at all.

Book Description
Worlds Apart: Acting and Writing in Academic and Workplace Contexts offers a unique examination of writing as it is applied and used in academic and workplace settings. Based on a 7-year multi-site comparative study of writing in different university courses and matched workplaces, this volume presents new perspectives on how writing functions within the activities of various disciplines: law and public administration courses and government institutions; management courses and financial institutions; social-work courses and social-work agencies; and architecture courses and architecture practice. Using detailed ethnography, the authors make comparisons between the two types of settings through an understanding of how writing is operative within the particularities of these settings.
Although the research was initially established to further understanding of the relationships between writing in academic and workplace settings, it has evolved to examining writing as it is embedded in both types of settings--where social relationships, available tools, and historical, cultural, temporal, and physical location are all implicated in complex ways in the decisions people make as writers. Readers of this volume will discover that the uniqueness of each setting makes salient different aspects of writers and writing, resulting in complex, and potentially unsettling implications for writing theory and the teaching of writing.

Book Description
The rapid pace of industrial restructuring and the emergence of new employment policies have focused attention on the role of employers in determining the quantity and quality of employment. This book draws on important new data from the ESRC's Social Change and Economic Life Initiative to test, modify, and challenge much of the current academic literature on the determinants of employer policy and how these influence employment structures and individual employment opportunities. The book begins with an authoritative synthesis of the influential debates on labour market segmentation, flexibility, post-Fordism, deskilling, the gendering of work, and the `new' industrial relations. Ten substantive chapters then extend these debates in several directions. The contributors make significant progress on three fronts: BL They suggest that the determinants of employer policy are both complex and strongly related to product market conditions. BL They find that employee attitudes and perceptions are critical to the implementation and effectiveness of employer policy. BL They explore the interdependency between internal employment policies and external labour market conditions and begin to develop an integrated approach to internal and external labour markets. Contributors: Brendan Burchell, Jane Elliott, Duncan Gallie, Anne Gasteen, Bob Morris, Roger Penn, Michael Rose, Jill Rubery, John Sewell, Jim Smyth, Michael White, Frank Wilkinson
