Truly an excercise in both attempting to improve figure drawing and also, a big help in developing design ideas. I will be using it for my costume design class in the Drama II, III, IV class I teach. I love the ideas and the format.

More of a book that was inspiration tasks with tips than a coursework or textbook. Nonetheless, it gave very fun tasks and provided adequate examples.
