A colourful mid-century tutorial book from the renowned Walter Foster series, 101 Heads in Pen, Pencil and Brush is packed with stylised portrait studies, sketching guides and expressive character heads from around the world. With linework ranging from comic to realistic, it’s both a drawing guide and a snapshot of vintage illustration aesthetics.

This edition includes detailed breakdowns of head proportions, tips on shading with crayon and pencil, and examples of expression, ethnic variation and era-specific styles. Some pages feature old colour testing or hand colouring in brown tones, adding to its studio-used appeal.

A beautiful piece for illustrators, vintage art lovers or those building a creative library with old-world charm.
