Description

This comprehensive guide to the human figure is renowned for its clear and detailed presentation of the body's fundamental features. The book features 430 pencil and charcoal drawings that illustrate each element of the body, providing a master teacher's insight into the subtleties of shading, curvature, proportion, and foreshortening.

Comprehensive discussions and drawings cover every aspect of the human form, from the eyes and nose to the complete figure, and include subtle points of variation due to age, sex, and other factors. This authoritative guide is essential for artists, art students, and art teachers seeking to avoid common errors in portraiture, painting, and illustrative art.
