Synopsis

Pocket-sized and spiral-bound, this exciting new “class in a book” helps artists become skilled in one of the most popular subjects: capturing the human body. Covering everything from basic anatomy to group compositions, it presents dozens of instructive illustrations, each analyzed for technique and with useful tips. Find out how to master proper proportions, deal with foreshortening, arrange a pose, depict a person in motion or standing quietly, create beautiful portraits, and do “speed drawing.” There’s invaluable advice on all the media, from pencil to paint; lighting models; approaching a life-drawing class; keeping a sketchbook; and taking photographs for reference. With so much useful information, students will feel as if they have their own art tutor right with them.
