This expert approach teaches both attitude and aptitude, putting life drawing in the context of the whole gamut of subjects and media. The full range of techniques are fully described: proportion and size, stance and balance, form and texture, perspective and foreshortening, media and technique, composition, lighting, and much more. Dozens of full-color drawings illustrate each aspect.

Many books on human anatomy, such as Giovanni Civardi's Drawing Human Anatomy, Drawing the Female Form, and Drawing the Male Form (all LJ 3/15/96), concentrate on a limited range of media. Clark's book delves into a broad variety of subjects and media, including pastels, charcoal, pen and ink, colored pencils, watercolor, and even wood engraving and mixed media. Clark, a former art editor and design manager for London publishers, teaches life drawing and contributes to The Artist magazine. Recommended for both public and academic libraries.
