A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Continuing the tradition of such revered masters of anatomy as Andrew Loomis and Burne Hogarth, but with his own, refreshingly original approach, is highly regarded artist and teacher Patrick J. Jones. In this unique, practical guide - a follow-up to the bestselling Sci-Fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques - Patrick takes the daunting task of learning human anatomy and breaks it into step-by-step stages that cover the critical foundation that every figurative artist needs to know.

Throughout the book, Patrick gives clear and detailed guidance on using anatomy as a tool to add detail, character, visual interest, and realism to figure drawing. Readers are led through all the steps they would take in a life class or studio working with live models, and there are reproductions of the original anatomy sheets and figure drawings produced during Patrick's university lectures.

A fresh and innovative update on the classic anatomy books used by generations of artists, The Anatomy of Style explains how to recognize the basic surface anatomical landmarks of the body and shows how to create expressive and convincing work in every medium, whether traditional or digital. A fresh update on the classic anatomy books used by generations of artists, this is a must-have for anyone interested in mastering the human figure.
