How often does an aspiring artist read a book or take a class on drawing the human body; only to end up with page after page of stiff lifeless marks rather than the well-conceived figure the course promised?Though there are many books on drawing the human figure; none teach how to draw a figure from the first few marks of the quick sketch to the last virtuosic stroke of the finished masterpiece; let alone through a convincing; easy-to-understand method.That changes now.In Figure Drawing for Artists: Making Every Mark Count; award-winning fine artist Steve Huston shows beginners and pros alike the two foundational concepts behind the greatest masterpieces in art and how to use them as the basis for their own success.Embark on a drawing journey and discover how these twin pillars of support are behind everything from the Venus De Milo to Michelangelos Sibyl to George Bellows Stag at Sharkeys; how theyre the fundamental tools for animation studios around the world; and how the best comic book artists from the beginnings of the art form until now use them whether they know it or not.Figure Drawing for Artists: Making Every Mark Count sketches out the same two-step method taught to the artists of DreamWorks; Warner Brothers; and Disney Animation; so pick up a pencil and get drawing.

Academics and Vaporwave Together.By TubularWhat a captivating read this was. especially for someone like myself who was born too late to remember the eras vaporwave simultaneously pays homage and gives a critical eye to. Most fascinating was Tanners comparison of Americas fetishization of the pre-9/11 world to an abandoned mall. presumably safe and sound from contemporary problems that have become harder to ignore. Even if you have just a small amount of knowledge about the music genre. the book is still worth your time and money.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Changed the way I view my own art immenselyBy AnthonyThis book is incredible. It goes so much deeper than just vaporwave. Grafton pulls you in and beats you with the reality of capitalism.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy manoeleacute;ctricoI love it
