I promised a few of you some links and a list of awesome books regarding figure drawing and construction but rather than email them I thought I'd post them on the blog for all to see. Some of the books can be found as free pdf's online although almost all are available on amazon if as I you prefer the physical book to plough through. Hope you find this all useful and see you at the next workshop where you can start putting it all to the test.
