Adam Robinson
“A book that confirms there is far, far more in our unconscious mind than is dreamt of in our philosophy.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis.
“Andrew Loomis presents a constructive, proportion-first method for drawing heads and hands, relying on annotated plates and progressive demonstrations. The book reads visually: many pages show staged drawings you can copy or reverse-engineer at the easel. Its most useful element is straightforward plane construction and repeatable proportion rules that speed up believable sketching. Annoyances include dated terminology, a narrow set of model-types, and repetitive examples that assume those proportional ideals. Plan to pair it with other references for photo-based anatomy.”
