Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The ultimate guide to learning how to capture action and dynamic movement in figure drawings. A vital step in developing drawing skills, gesture drawing helps aspiring artists get more comfortable with studying the human body and learning how to depict its connections, curves, and movements. Noted drawing instructor and best-selling author Michael Hampton shares all the secrets for developing gesture and figure drawing skills. Geared towards the novice and experienced artist alike, this book aims to clarify and explain the ambiguous concept of gesture drawing. Pulling from formal principles of line, rhythm, shape, and perspective, Gesture Drawing slows down the often rapidly executed practice of gesture and clarifies each step. Featuring examples and a wide range of exercises, this book will help anyone become a stronger and more confident artist.
