Many of us want to learn "how to draw." But as artist Anthony Ryder
explains, it's much more important to learn what to draw. In other
words, to observe and draw what we actually see, rather than what
we think we see. When it comes to drawing the human figure, this
means letting go of learned ideas and expectation of what the
figure should look like. It means carefully observing the interplay
of form and light, shape and line, that combine to create the
actual appearance of human form. In "The Artist's Complete Guide to
Figure Drawing," amateur and experienced artists alike are guided
toward this new way of seeing and drawing the figure with a
three-step drawing method.
The book's progressive course starts with the block-in, an exercise
in seeing and establishing the figure's shape. It then build to the
contour, a refined line drawing that represents the figure's
silhouette. The last step is tonal work on the inside of the
contour, when light and shadow are shaped to create the illusion of
form. Separate chapters explore topics critical to the method:
gesture, which expresses a sense of living energy to the figure;
light, which largely determines how we see the model; and form,
which conveys the figure's volume and mass. Examples,
step-by-steps, and special "tips" offer helpful hints and practical
guidance throughout.
Lavishly illustrated with the author's stunning artwork, "The
Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing" combines solid
instruction with thoughtful meditations on the art of drawing, to
both instruct and inspire artists of all levels.
