Description
The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing offers a fresh approach to drawing the human figure. By focusing on observation and representation rather than learned ideas, artists can develop a new way of seeing and drawing.
This comprehensive guide takes a three-step approach to figure drawing, starting with the block-in, then refining it with contour lines, and finally adding tonal work to create depth and illusion. Separate chapters explore key topics such as gesture, light, and form, providing practical guidance for artists of all levels.
