An accomplished artist and teacher, Walter T. Foster began producing his classic art instruction books in the 1920s. He wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, shipped, and distributed his books from his own home for decades, before moving the business to a commercial facility to accommodate his international trade. This comprehensive volume combines four of the artist's vintage instructional manuals to form an essential guide to illustrating the head and face.
"Let your drawing be simple," Foster advises, and suggests that art students begin with the profile. Leave out unnecessary details until the basic shapes are in place. Then add the expressions that make the face the most interesting of all subjects. Instructions include step-by-step diagrams using charcoal, crayon, pencil, and brush to create finished portraits, plus tips on materials. With an array of subjects that include men, women, and children of various ages and ethnic types, this guide captures the mid-twentieth-century style of illustration to inspire today's artists.

I bought this set for my son's high school graduation back in May! Came quickly, and it was exactly what we needed. It fit as described, and looked very nice during the ceremony, along w his cap n gown. Well worth the $ spent!

Ok product for average shape
Size: Large, Color: White
ok for the price but didn't work out for us. I had one guy whose body is thick and one who is thin. Couldn't get the set to fit on top and bottom at the same time, pants were a lil see through, but still decent quality and price.
