Figure drawing for artists

by Steve Huston

Describes the two foundational concepts behind the greatest masterpieces in art - structure and gesture - and how to use them as the basis for success. Shows how these twin pillars of support are behind everything from the Venus de Milo to Michelangelo's Sibyl to Raphael's frescos, and how they are the fundamental tools for every figure artist from top animators to the best comic book illustrators to fine artists.
