I am looking for books to teach myself figure drawing. A guy recommended books by George Bridgeman. I made a search over at amazon.com and got several hits:
- Bridgman's Life Drawing
- Heads, Features and Faces
- Constructive Anatomy
- The Human Machine
- The Book of a Hundred Hands
Which one do you recommend? All of them? 
Edit- Why the hell did I post this in the "Gallery/Finished Work" form?? I dunno.

I've got a few resources that I found helpful in a section on my site. Just click on the "resources" tab.

| If you can find the book "Bridgman's Complet Guide to Drawing From Life", I would pick that one up. It's a combination of all the other book: verbatim. I bought mine years ago and it only cost me around $15. I highly recommend it! |

I own The Human Machine, Constructive Anatomy, and Heads, Features and Faces , and they all rock. The Human Machine is less of a "how to draw" book, and more just mechanics of movement. Very DaVinci, interlocking masses kind of drawing style, which I love.
Dover books are so cheap, you might as well just buy everything. I don't think any of those books are over $10, and they are easily worth $60 each. |
