If a drawing "is not alive, it is a failure," declares Len A. Doust. With his practical help and encouraging guidance, even novice sketchers can learn how to capture the vitality and character of their models. Clear instructions and 23 step-by-step illustrations highlight everything students need to know. Featured topics include: • Perspective and proportions • Heads, faces, and hands • Hats, shoes, and clothing • Age and character • Expressions • Athletes and dancers Concise and informative, this manual offers sketchers the perfect way to get started.
There is absolutely no fluff or filler in this book. Every page is filled with useful info, not only on line drawing and anatomy, but also how the hang and creases in clothing as well as shoes affect the pose.
Definitely a book worth keeping and referring to from time to time as a refresher.
