		Drawing Dynamic Hands A reference work for artists providing a system for visualizing the hand in an infinite number of positions from a multitude of angles. Drawings show anatomical structures, actions, functions, movement and foreshortening. [More info!]
		The Big Book of Drawing and Painting the Figure The latest addition to the popular Big Book series, this volume will inspire every artist, working in every medium, who wants to include human figures in his or her artwork. Over 500 full-color illustrations. [More info!]
		The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing: A Contemporary Perspective on the Classical Tradition If you are serious about taking a traditional approach to figure drawing and want to produce artwork of the finest quality, this is the book to look at. If you just want to learn to do quick sketches then you might look elsewhere, since the approach discussed is time-consuming and painstaking. [More info!]

8 Feb 2011	Jason Rivenscryr Vance	Loading... Good reference material for sure! I’m looking for something along the lines of the hand in the 6th row, far right column, where the fingers are splayed out and pointing downwards. However, I think the reverse (fingers pointing up, palm slightly showing, etc.) would also be very useful. I have found it very difficult to construct a hand in such a manner, and I just cant’ seem to grasp it.
