Arguably the most challenging of subjects for the artist; the human figure also offers opportunities for works of incredible beauty and complexity. In this book; one of todays leading figurative artists shares techniques and approaches for drawing the human form. With a reverent grounding in the methods of the Old Masters and keen perspective developed over Jon DeMartins 20+ years of making and teaching art; this comprehensive workshop focuses on the power of line and how it can be used to achieve a convincing sense of dimension and life.Beautifully illustrated with classical drawings as well as step-by-step progressions; these lessons explore the enlightening practice of copying; how to use proportion and measurement wisely; drawing the head and its features; rendering the figure in motion; short-pose exercises; and much; much more. Throughout; artists will master techniques for achieving a compelling "living force" in their drawings; while building a base of understanding that will ultimately make the process more intuitive and enjoyable.
