Whether drawing hands with Raphael, an eye with Escher, a foot with da Vinci or a torso with Giacometti, you will come to understand each element of the body and how they form a whole. The masterpieces, wisdom and glossary included in these aided sketchbooks together offer a strong foundation for artistic progression, and there's plenty of blank space to work your thoughts through.
