Book Review by Rio

The Good: Hayashi covers variences in body type, age, facial features (feminine vs. masculine), and even covers clothes they would wear (shoes, boxers vs. briefs, shorts, glasses) including uniforms from police, traffic, subway, hotal manager, and otehr personnel. He even includes the kimono and kinagashi.

The Bad: The uniforms shown are exclusively Japanese. Although they may have resemblances to the same personnel in your area, there are still differences.

Overall: Pratically all you need to know in order to draw a realistic male character is covered in this book. All his sections has mutiple views of the same item or pose that's greatly useful to help visualize and have learner's apply in their own drawings.
