- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019Anyone interested in artistic drawing, amateur or professional should have this book..Even though it is more concentrated on head drawing it also covers drawings from nude models..In this book are collected numerous drawings that author Mau Kun Yim, otherwise a brilliant artist, has collected throughout his career.. .I like his style, which is realistic but yet with artist's own note and impression.
