an exceptional how-to book
By A2KG9LTWGBPWLC on 2002-07-07
This is a wonderful book for both professional artists and beginners. It breaks down figure drawing into simple cylinder forms which are easy to follow, and beginners will appreciate. Professionals will enjoy the different dynamic poses of the basic figure types (it shows poses from many different angles). It also demostrates movement very well, showing how simple movement (walking, running) breaksdown, as well as martial art manuevers such as low and high kicks, different styles of punches and jump kicks can translate smoothly into drawings. The art is clear, consise, and easy to follow, with several very good examples of males AND females. A good how-to book that can allow you to try many new poses for your figure drawing.
teaches how to draw movement
By AGRDDTD1HQ0R1 on 2004-01-26
I started off drawing a book by Burne Hogarth that taught me how to draw human anatomy. It was a great book and I felt as if I could draw anything after learning how to draw the muscles and the body in general. What I learned was that I couldn't whatsoever. I would try to draw someone walking using my own logic on what a person walking should look like and I would fail miserably. This book is great for anyone who has trouble drawing a person sitting, running or doing any lifelike pose realisticly. This is the only book that I know of at the moment that teaches how to draw people that are WEARING clothes and actually doing something that people do in every day life.
Excelent Start 
By A1TV8O1XY9HREW on 2003-01-24
A good start for someone who is just learning how to draw in anime/manga format for game characters.
Another excellent book
By A30RA36THKXTMX on 2004-02-26
The third book in the series picks up right after the last with perspective. The first chapter is dedicated to it, and provides many great tips. It then moves on to basic character movements such as walking, running, sitting, sleeping, and much more. From there it even goes into greater detail by showing you variations of the previously mentioned movements, and a lot of them. After all, no two people are made the same. This is a great book for any artist period who wants to learn the different poses of the body.
A book worth your money
By A3NPLA19LD5E23 on 2004-11-22
Ozawa does a wonderful job again! He inititally starts the book on drawing your character using perspective giving a numerous amount of pointers and examples. Then giving basic action poses (walking, running, sitting, standing, laying down, etc) and going into variations of those actions by using multiple examples of characters. A typical example page consists of a stick figure in a particular pose, a block figure, and the actual finished character in the same pose. Front and back, or other view of the pose is common and he even gives pointers and tips of details to look out for.
Besides teaching you how to draw real believable characters, this book is an excellent edition that you may later use as a reference book for poses. Like his earlier books, Ozawa covers nudity tastefully and this book can be used by young artists without fear. A book well worth the money, imo.
