Learn to Draw the Neck, Shoulders and Arms - With Photos and Illustrations
The area of the neck and the shoulders is especially difficult to understand. This book contains over 600 photos where you can see the upper body in a variety of different poses, together with explanations on how to use them as references when drawing.
Many photos are from angles that are difficult to find references for, such as from below and above, and we have selected poses that are useful for manga and illustrations.
Perfect for those who can draw faces but find it hard to connect the head to the rest of the body!
