Review by Library Journal Review

Sketching the nude has been a foundational mainstay of artists for centuries. The human body has played such an enduring role in visual art, in part because it is one of the best ways artists can sharpen their skills of observation. This volume's exercises combine color photos of the posed figures with step-by-step drawings and diagrammed sketches, presenting a variety of materials and techniques. Both nude and clothed figures are covered. Readers will learn how to capture movement, proportion, and expression. VERDICT Beginning artists who want to try figure drawing for the first time will benefit the most from this guide. (c) Copyright 2013.
