Description

Drawing the Draped Figure by George Brant Bridgman is a comprehensive guide to accurately rendering clothing and draped cloth in figure drawing. Until now, there has been a lack of concise and simple instruction on this subject, making it a challenge for many artists. This book was created to address this issue, offering expert advice from George Bridgman, a renowned instructor at the Art Student League. Bridgman explains that clothing is essentially a drapery arrangement around the body, and mastering the different folds is key to realistic portrayal. The book focuses on seven distinct types of folds, including pipe, zigzag, spiral, and half-lock, and provides clear instructions on how to render them. With over 200 illustrations from Bridgman's own sketches and diagrams, this manual is a practical and hands-on guide for art students, teachers, and professionals alike.
