The man is to help me draw human figures. Thanks for all the compliments guys. Unfortunatly those are only some of my books- I had to give away lot's of books when I moved to Canada. I still miss them!

It's alot more usefull to draw from a real person but alot of people have a hard time staying still long enough to pose for me!

OOOH I want a tiny cute dog! And a sketching figure. Because it definitely helps with properly drawing human lines so that your arms don't look funny or the torso isn't twisted at a weird angle. Though truthfully, I usually have problems with the head being too big for the body, lol

haha yes, the quote "Whenever I get a little money I buy books; then, if there is any left, I buy food and clothing." - is very true for me. i've heard this quote before, but I cannot remember who said it. Does anyone remember? Desiderius Erasmus said it ;Dthanks!

I think we must all adhere to that way of living, to some degree or another! Dorothy, your collection is so very tidy and neat - and i love the section entitled "pretty books; you clearly label things in the same way i do, hehe! And lindsay, your collection is lovely and your doggie is oh so adorable! What would his fav book be do you think? Ohh.... now there's a random idea for a thread..... *crazy mind gets to pondering*

I try to sort them the normal way /according to genre) but usually they end up grouped together so that they look pretty!
