Figure It Out! Drawing Essential Poses: The Beginner's Guide to the Natural-Look

Bestselling how-to-draw author Christopher Hart helps artists fine-tune their skills with the fundamentals of drawing natural-looking figures. Eschewing the esoteric "art poses" and wooden mannequins commonly found in art books, he portrays everyday, real-life gestures on human-looking foundation figures: standing, sitting, kneeling, and reclining, with arms folded, ankles crossed, hands on hips, and more, all shown from various angles. Hart also explores deeper concepts such as perspective, illusion of depth, casting shadows, and foreshortening, and provides step-by-step tutorials that take artists through complete, naturally posed figure drawings from start to finish.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Christopher Hart<br><b>Publisher:</b> Drawing with Christopher Hart<br><b>Published:</b> 07/19/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.10lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.90h x 8.60w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781936096992<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Christopher Hart is the world's bestselling author of how-to-draw books, with more than six million copies sold worldwide.
