Drawing the human figure is the most difficult exercise an artist can try-even though it's often the first subject matter artists want to tackle. This book is intended for all painters, illustrators, and any other artists who wish to study the body and its movements; the face, which is the most expressive part of a person; and the hands, whose precise rendition is the basis for creating a realistic drawing. There are more than 600 models in this book to guide you through the production of characters animated by a great diversity of movements, gestures, and expressions. Anatomical guides and rules of proportion will further help you accurately represent any human subject. Enjoy this indispensable guide for bringing your drawings to life! Book jacket.
