This practical guide to capturing the human figure teaches fundamental drawing skills while providing instruction on how to get the most from a life drawing class.
Featuring 20 step-by-step exercises, the book shows intermediate artists how to put their skills into practice. Learn how to construct a figure, capture gesture and bring depth, energy and movement into your work.
Sketch Life Drawing is the first in an exciting new series aimed at demystifying the artist's process. The book covers a range of media and offers inspirational references to the work of other famous artists. A problem-solving section covers how to fix common mistakes and know when to stop.
Hone your skills, build your confidence, and most importantly, get drawing!
This is aimed at those who have not taken a life drawing class and are taking their first class. It teaches readers the etiquette of the life drawing classroom and introduces the basics of observing, measuring, and developing a drawing. A lot of other drawing books overload beginning artists with lots of techniques, but this one keeps it simple. For beginners, simple is best as it allows you to focus on the fundamentals rather than rushing into advanced techniques too soon.
