With over 300 color examples, illustrator and educator Lamont O'Neal uses a mixture of watercolor, marker, pencil and digital tools to help you master fundamentals such as anatomy and proportion. Later chapters focus on garment drawing, the principles of balance and movement as well classic poses and how they can highlight a design.
