Drawing People

One of the few Watson-Guptill art books that can be considered a classic -- first published in 1971 and still going strong. Hardcover, 167 pp, dustjacket, sewn binding. Lots of Paul Hogarth art with detailed commentary and a particular emphasis on the dynamics present when you draw in the field. There's a range of work here from the loosest, quickest sketches, to his more cartoony work (mostly full bodies in environments) to portraiture.
