This is actually a very nice book if you're intrested in drawing female characters, but as some others said, you need a sturdy background in drawing anime style. Other than that, this book is just...beautiful! There's a stunning "Girl From the Arabian Nights" drawing at the back that if you don't like the book, just buying the book for that paticular picture is worth it!
