Synopsis:
Accompanied by annotated drawings and step-by-step demonstrations, an instructional guide shows readers how to portray the male and female form in the classic style by combining direct observation of the human body with an analysis of anatomy, perspective, light, shade, and composition. Original.
Reviews:
From classic figure drawing flows a complete vocabulary of skilled techniques basic to visual art. Robins' guide considers the elements--line, light and shade, mass, texture, foreshortening, and more--using basic geometric shapes to achieve accurate renderings of the nude human figure. His explanation of equilibrium and center of gravity as applied to figure drawing is particularly helpful to the novice exploring this essential foundational skill, and the index makes for user-friendliness.
