The book Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters was a common textbook in my art school drawing classes. Great analysis and lessons from famous artwork and artists. Focuses mainly on the figure.
The only textbook I kept from art school besides my ralph mayer artists handbook.

Books of Gottfried Bammes r the best for constructive-orientated drawing. Also good for figures. U can even buy it on-line.
I won't reccomend u ever try to study drawing with such 'drawing step-by-step' books, cose u won't really STUDY. The thing they teach - is how to copy the technique. That's it.

Try "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". Within an hour you will see you can actually draw an interesting semblance of a human face. Shocked me. :-)
