Full of dynamism and energy, this book is an expellant companion to the FORCE brand since it delivers hundreds of FORCE drawings with succinct notations about how to improve your FORCE drawing skills.It's really a book for developed artists to learn how to take their already great core fundamentals of anatomy and skew them for animation and exaggerated/expressive illustration. I felt it saved me bucket-loads of time and helped me find my form quicker and more efficiently than i would have had I gone at it by myself. Artists of the FORCE drawing approach move on to many different careers in the the arts such as storyboard artist, Character Designer, Visual Development Artist, Comic Book Artist, Animator, Illustrator and Caricaturist.
