Fifteen different football poses can be created by you, the reader, by following the visual steps in this book. First the reader should gather the 6 supplies listed on the opening page: blank unlined paper, pencils, erasers and pencil sharpener for sure, followed by black ink pen and colored pencils or markers, if you like.

Each of the fifteen poses is accompanied by an exciting sports commentary scenario in the left sidebar. “MAKING the PASS You drop back to pass and see an open receiver downfield. You’ll have to fire off the pass before you get sacked!” ( p. 4) Now a 5 step process of drawing the described scene starting with a simple stick figure begins. Each of the following steps is layered in black lines over the previous steps gray lines. There are NO written descriptions of the sequential drawing steps, but a good eraser ( from the list of supplies on p. 3) is used between steps. Following these drawing steps is similar to doing one of those picture puzzles where you must find what has been changed from one picture to the other. The completed full page black and white drawing of a detailed football pose from Step 5 is superimposed over an NFL full color backdrop photo. [ Some of the NFL teams in the background include: the Falcons, Colts, Saints, and Chargers.] Each pose has 4 complete pages devoted to it from start to finish.

Step1 -stick figure

Step 2- muscular body around the stick figure

Step 3- helmet, padding, shoes, knee joints

Step 4- more detail added

Step 5 – final uniform detail, perhaps facial details
