Figure Drawing It comprises an extraordinarily vividOne of the few available guidebooks of its kind, this manual approaches figure drawing from the draftsman's point of view. With a clear focus on surface lines and prominences, step by step instructions and over 300 illustrations guide artists in accurately sketching all aspects of the human form in lively action and repose. Beginning with method and proportion, the author discusses the drawing of lines, contours, planes, masses, and rounded forms.
