I love, love, love Batman the Animated Series! (as well as just being a Batman fan in general), so naturally, after coming across this book in the store, I had to have it. This is a pretty cool book and it goes over the very basic ways of drawing not only the characters but the human form in general-- gives differences between the male and female form, their proportions to one another and their basic structure (i.e. how the male figure's upper body is broader compared to a woman's; or how the female form's profile makes an "S" shape). This was really a fun book to read and it gives truly helpful tips on how to basically draw the human form-- being Bat-centric was just icing on the cake!
