There is a good balance of pictures and text (instruction/explanation). I was also pleased with the number of examples, the variety of art styles, and the diversity of characters (racial and body type). 

I checked this out at my local library, and it’s ideal as a reference book due to its length. I don’t recommend trying to read this all-in-one setting. I couldn't read this straight through. Take your time and go through or skip directly to the chapters most relevant to you.
