Just in time for the Olympics, but worthy of attention any time of year. A great guide to drawing and painting sports figures. This covers the basics of drawing and painting and many examples of inspiring finished works. It also contains details of how to capture sports people - their expressions, stance and more. Jim Scullion has drawn and painted some of the most famous sports people. There are exercises to hone your skills - these step by step guides use acrylics or acrylic inks and take you through each step with easy to follow instructions and photographs of each stage. This is an excellent book for anyone interested in figure drawing.
