Well- not 'HUGE' but a lot larger than I assumed it would be. Not that I'm complaining, the book is perfect. This book is perfect for references when drawing males. That said, it does include a few females. A rather colourful and stunning book if I must say so myself. I have no clue who the artists are but I am in love nevertheless. Beautiful book; if you like what you see in the sneak peak images then you will love it.
