Figures From Life

The book is an in-depth exploration of life drawing—covering gesture, short and long poses, foreshortening and contrapposto, and more—and delves into its more challenging aspects: such as measuring with rhythm, drawing with feeling, and developing a style. Packed with step-by-step, all-new drawing demonstrations and insightful commentary, the book also includes Patrick’s most recent anatomy and drawing study sheets, which feature essential notation, style tips, and at-a-glance memory clues. This re-creation of the artist's successful live drawing workshops will enable both beginning and advanced artists to rapidly accelerate their skills and learn to draw with ease and confdence.

Cartea este o explorare aprofundata a desenului de viata - care acopera gesturi, ipostaze scurte si lungi, scurtare si contrapposto si multe altele - si aprofundeaza aspectele sale mai provocatoare: cum ar fi masurarea cu ritmul, desenul cu sentimentul si dezvoltarea unui stil. Pachet cu demonstratii de desen pas cu pas, cu totul noi si comentarii perspicace, cartea include, de asemenea, cele mai recente fise de studiu ale anatomiei si desenelor lui Patrick, care contin notatii esentiale, sfaturi de stil si indicii de memorie dintr-o privire.
