About this title

Synopsis

Lessons from Reilly go for some 54 pages and center on drawing the human figure and for those wanting to break down their work analytically it offers a systematic approach. It also includes some four typical Nine-Value/ Chroma charts (which is value in itself-the single sheets alone sell for much more than the price of the book). These feature red, yellow-red, blue-green and purple-blue (four chroma steps from weakest to the “home level” of each of those hues. Those familiar with Munsell might enjoy these.

Also included is a gray value scale, as is the procedure for painting edges, the head, and facial features. An excellent resource.

This art book clearly has a methodical approach and it discusses terms in Hue, Value, and Chroma-even attributing value scales in some of the diagrams. Overall this is a pretty neat piece of work and originates from a well studied practice. by Chris
