The Beginner's Guide to Drawing People: Step-by-Step Techniques for Beginners - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The human body has always been a source of fascination and inspiration for artists and learning how to draw or paint figures accurately is possibly the most important challenge for an artist. This comprehensive step-by-step techniques guide covers three major subject areas: figure drawing, human anatomy and female nude. Each section has practical information on materials and equipment and includes a gallery of work by other artists to inspire the beginner. The different approaches to figure drawing are looked at, as is the history of the study of anatomy for art and emergence of the female nude as a painting subject. The techniques and projects cover all aspects of drawing and painting people, from drawing the moving figure and groups of people to working on specific areas of the body such as hands and feet or the male torso. The exercises and projects cover a variety of media, from graphite to watercolour and oil painting.
