No they don't. They show you one way of doing all the parts, which is fine if you have trouble with drawing hands and what not, but for heads and faces it's complete crap.

Using a traditional type of art book you can learn the basics of head shape and adapt them. there are books especially for heads & faces. it's a better way to do it. it is just my opinion though

They can limit your creativity as far as building your own style goes. Knowing it can't hurt, but a lot of people just fall into a rut of drawing exactly like in the books. It's like some people learn so much about music theory, they can't come up with anything innovative or cool.

www.bakaneko.com is very good. Especially for anatomy.

Its kinda crappy, and drawn on paint. I made this tut for someone before on a differnt forum. Its pretty much basic for those who know how to draw already, but theres no harm in posting it anyway. lol.
1. draw circle with a cross in the middle like this. Each line in goes though the middle of the circle.
2. draw 2 lines on the horizontal line, equal distant. Take the distance between them and use that to represent the size of your eyes.
3. Draw the top and the bottom of the eye (using basic anime eye)
4. Draw where the eyes are and such. And remove the horizontal guideline , it wont be needed anymore unless u use for ears and such.
5. Finally draw the pupil and any reflections u want.
6&7. Add nose and mouth.
8. Draw the basic shape of the face. I find it best to make it look right is to the jaw at the height of the mouth. I know it kinda da. lol.
9. Add ears right around the the eye lvl.
10. Add hair and eye brows and remove whatever guide lines you have left.
11. Color and enjoy.

Still Carmen, I never began from books, just what I've seen, then I had books for a little help. I haven't even copied any styles, none at all, yet I've been told my drawings look like Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's art (Evangelion). Unless u realistically have a style that is unique, nearly every other manga/illustration artist can be told to have similarities with some artist.

tHIS' an awesome way to do it! I did it quite differently, but I spent so much time without drawing that my front-views started to look crappy...
My big big dificulty is the side view head...I jest could NEVER do it...never... :(
