Description

Understand the human body and transform your art with bestselling author Jake Spicer
Informative and instructive, this book will equip artists of all levels with the ability to make clear perceptions of the human body and translate them onto the page. Figure Drawing begins with basic principles and builds progressively, after showing you how to develop and expand your sketching practice, how to observe and see differently, and how to create a language of marks to enable you to bring this vision to paper.
As you travel through the book, you'll discover how a deeper understanding of the human body and its anatomy can transform your work. By the end you'll feel confident that everything you see, experience and understand about the body can be transformed into personal, focused and responsive figure drawings.
