An extremely impressive little book, packed with important tips that most books of this type, even larger ones (and I have many), fail to give. Great emphasis is placed on body proportions, à la da Vinci. There's even a posable paper model that you can create via a tracing. Page 24 has a stunning cubist drawing called Tumbling Men by a 16th(!) century artist named Luca Cambiaso. This pushes up the development of cubism by around 250 years. In my experience, any art book by Parramón (the author or the publishing house) is a must-own. ( )
