There is something so pretty about vintage pin-up girls. I love the quality of the art, and what better way to enjoy this style than to create new art with the techniques featured in How to Draw and Paint Pin-Ups and Glamour Girls: Step-by step art instruction from the vintage Walter Foster archives.

The second book in the Walter Foster Collectibles series, How to Draw & Paint Pin-ups & Glamour Girls hails back to an era when Betty Grable set the standard for female beauty and Bettie Page set the standard for female allure. This extraordinary collection includes original art from several previously published vintage Walter Foster titles, including How to Draw the Figure, Pin-Up Art, the Nude, Oil: Faces & Features, and Dancers in Action. From the quintessential 1920s flapper girl to a pin-up bikini model, artists will learn to draw and paint a range of female subjects and portraits in a variety of media, including pencil, oil, and pastel. With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and professional tips, this collectible book is a must-have for artists of all levels, particularly those fond of days gone by.
My hubby would LOVE it if I took up this figure drawing...lol
Thanks for sharing...I'd never have thought there'd be such a book ;) Fondly, Roberta

With the kind of popularity that drawing is enjoying these days, it hardly comes as a surprise that it is one of the favorite pastimes of kids these days to draw.
