خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Figure Drawing Methods for Artists – Original PDF

To create a picture of the human figure is a never-ending theme in art. Whether as perfect half-gods and beauty queens or realistic, touchable individuals, or whether as imposing rulers or tormented souls, images outlast us and tell of our time, our misery, and our dreams. We’re surrounded by photographic images. Quickly created and often shared, they are ever present in today’s picturecosmos but a drawn human figure is different. It is unique. The creation is more than just pushing a button; it is an intense moment of observation, followed by decisions, which are made with every line. How do I interpret what I see and show what I mean? To sketch a figure means to capture it, fix it in our mind just like a fleeting thought, and contain it on a piece of paper. This skill can be developed through close observation. Experimentation is another approach to constructing a figure, which can be accomplished without a subject. A spot turns into an idea, a line leads to a concept, and from that a figure is developed. Try it out! Look! And try again! Figures don’t have to be anatomically correct if the outlines are imaginative and the lines and expression are lively. The focus of this book is the enjoyment of drawing and the question of how to draw people successfully with both simple and more complex methods. We show you how to comprehend the human figure and build up a repertoire for your own approach while doing so. We invite you to experiment and venture into the big theme of figure, body, and human.
