Figure Drawing Workshop

There is probably no subject more intimidating and complex than the human figure; even artists who have otherwise mastered their chosen medium are unable to render figures successfully. How can artists develop or apply their drawing skills to portray the figure as animate and made of muscle and bone, but without overpowering form with anatomical detail? In this work, a veteran artist guides readers through a series of progressive lessons designed to help artists draw the figure with accuracy, simplicity and skill. Step-by-step, readers learn how to see and render basic shapes, use line to express energy and movement, depict light and shadow and draw convincing heads, hands and feet
