Zur Zeit des viktorianischen Englands; getrieben von der Industriellen Revolution; hatte die Gruppe der Prauml;raffaeliten; darunter Maler wie John Everett Millais; Dante Gabriel Rossetti und Edward Burne-Jones; das Ziel zu traditionellen Werten zuruuml;ckzukehren. Dabei wollten sie die Ideale der italienischen Renaissance wiederbeleben; wobei sie sich am Realismus und an biblischen Themen orientierten.

The author takes the oldest techniques of the masters and presents them in a format thats simple and easy to understand for anyone. I pre order the book based on my experience with the artist and it beat my expectations which were very high. As an art student I purchased so many art books and this is by far one of the best.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A clear and elegant guide to the most complex subject in artBy Thomas S.Legendary figure drawing teacher Jon DeMartin lays out a systematic and proven methodology for learning to draw the most challenging and rewarding subject in art history: the human figure. DeMartin breaks down the infinitely complex aspects of drawing the figure with clear and elegant diagnostic illustrations; many of which have been featured in the worlds top artists magazines. DeMartin approaches the subject with humility and practicality; and a deep reverence for this most ancient and meaningful art form. The book is an essential guide for contemporary artists who care about skill and beauty in art. For art lovers; historians; and critics it is a valuable look under the hood at how art is made and provides a refreshing antidote to the shallow gimmickry of the contemporary art world.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good but not outstandingBy mellowpandaThe supply lists that he included were useful and he did include some helpful tips; but I wasnt blown away by this drawing book. Its a good one to have in your arsenal of books; but its not a must-have. I would recommend "Force" by Michael Matessi instead if someone asked me about my favorite figure-drawing book. I feel that Matessis method leads to drawings that have a little more spark and life in them.
