  There's nothing like the image of personality-filled animals or people to enliven a painting -- and if drawing them seems daunting, here's the book for you. With these gently graduated techniques that start by turning simple stick figures into fleshed-out humans and build logically to close-up portraits, even inexperienced artists will confidently add figures to a background, portray people interacting, suggest movement and gesture, and capture the expressiveness of a face.
