Drawing Portraits for the Absolute Beginner: A Clear & Easy Guide to Successful Portrait Drawing (Art for the Absolute Beginner) by Willenbrink, Mark, Willenbrink, Mary (June 15, 2012) Paperback
I loved this book! The lessons have very direct examples and simple steps for different types and styles of drawing. A lot of explaining is done through pictures of each step in the process. This was so hopefully at helping me make a more realistic portrait.
