Draw Like An Artist: 100 Faces and Figures is an interesting work in that it contains very little text. The bulk of the book comprises sketches, shown in various stages from first line to completion. This approach may not suit everyone; however, if you are someone keen to dive right in and learn through practice alone, without major discussion of technique, this would be a good book for you as there are plenty of figures and faces in different poses you can attempt to recreate step by step. Note, too, that this is a book about line drawing. Therefore it does not go into shading etc. and is more suited to cartoon-style drawing than ultra realism. In conclusion, this won't suit everyone, but if this type of sketching is what you are looking to accomplish Draw Like An Artist: 100 Faces and Figures will be an excellent resource.
Other drawing books should use this one and take some notes, honestly this is probably the best how-to draw book I've ever seen! The steps are simple and not too drawn out, an amazing array of body positions and angles. I'm also in love with the wide variety of body types and races shown in this book (something far too many drawing books lack!). Will definitely be recommending this book to anyone who's interested in drawing.
