Format:Paperback
Burne Hogarth has an incredible talent for subverting realistic creases and compression wrinkles into his art. Readers will no doubt be satisfied with his 144 page book, explaining in heavy detail the laws and physics of 'dynamic wrinkles and drapery'. He does however, tend to go into intense description on every single page without pause; at times it can be difficult to follow what Hogarth is trying to teach. All in all, this is a well thought out book, wonderfully illustrated (there is at least one fully detailed drawing per page) and with a someonewhat anal attention to detail.

As the father of the Tarzan character and art, and the co-founder of the School of Visual Arts with silas rhodes, Burne Hogarth is far qualified to teach the fundamentals of great figure drawing. His Drawing Series of Books should be on the shelves of any aspiring comic artist.
For more information on his books and a short collected listing of other useful books for aspiring comic artists and illustrators available in Amazon.com, visit der Mudgecko's Reading List for Comic Artists at:

I really hate to give a negative slant to any review, or to damn-with-faint-praise, especially when the author is an acknowledged expert in his field. However, the style of presentation of the subject matter is that of a children's comic with much less visual or intellectual impact than the Dandy or Beano. The text is almost an irrelevance and imparts hardly any information to the reader.
When compared to 'Drawing Drapery from Head to Toe' by Cliff Young this runs a very poor second even given that Young's book is a slim 48 pages, it is certainly not to be mentioned in the same breath as any of the excellent works by Andrew Loomis now available as wonderful quality reprints.
Perhaps I'm being a trifle unfair to Mr Hogarth, after all the book's contents are not bad, but that is how it seems to me.
