# Nothing wrong with
recommendation nepotism. At least you are doing it from an informed position.
I'm looking at grotesques and exaggerated morph types ( in my minds eye ) so will be looking more towards Glen Fabry and anatomy for fantasy artists but as always proper anatomical knowledge is always needed even for mutated ideas ( I have an idea for a huge cyclops type thing that I really need to sketch soon before my brain cell bursts ).

# I recommend Andrew Loomis' book,
"Figure Drawing For All It's Worth"
There is no better.

# I have a load of loomis stuff
and I love it. But whenever I start reading his stuff I just end up sketching toons that look like Loomis drew them when he was pissed ;)

# I know it's not exactly legal
and some may frown on it but the way I see it is that you are never going to spend that much on a hard copy so no sale is lost plus you get to share in the knowledge and hopefully we all benefit from the art you produce.
