DESCRIPTION:
Orianna said Great Figure Drawing Book!. This is the third book in Christopher Hart's "Figure It Out!" series on figure drawing. The first book is an easy guide to drawing people. The second is a guide to human proportions. And the third, this book, focuses on how to draw natural-looking poses. Most of Christopher Hart's books are superb---he has a knack for teaching essential sketching techniques without getting overly technical or advanced. This book is no exception!The book itself is paperback, with large enough print to read easily while you're trying to sketch. Like the others in this series, it has integrated flap. mike said What an amazing book. Examples, examples, examples everywhere.. First section is dedicated to head / facial features, but latter pages are filled with whole figures from head to feet. There must be close to a hundred whole figure examples you can learn from. Great focus on balance, natural and relaxed poses.The right way to learn from any drawing book I believe is to try every example on your own on a sketchbook. In my learning, this book has been essential. I feel I've actually learned something.. Best gift for a budding artist My daughter loves this book. She is a budding artist and found this to be very helpful.
