About this title

Synopsis:

Drawing or painting the human figure is one of the most fundamental artistic skills and this compact guide provides a practical approach, starting with the most basic information and progressing to more complicated aspects of the subject. First there are sections on proportion and anatomy - how the bones, muscles and skin relate to produce an overall shape. Then there is information to help the artist build up technique - how to use a balance line, measuring and checking proportions, using negative space and modelling form. Individual features which can create difficulty like the limbs and head are concentrated on separately. Practical demonstrations, exercises and analyses of completed paintings accompany the text.
