Human figures and faces have always dominated art. This practical book
offers budding artists the chance to learn the art of drawing and
painting the human body. Tutorials provide knowledge of the human
skeletal structure and muscles, skin and hair texture, expressions,
movement and postures. In the projects, experienced artists work from
life models and photographs using various media, including pencil and
charcoal, water paints, gouache, acrylics and oils, while galleries of
art offer readers insight into how artistic techniques are employed by
professional artists. More than 800 photographs make it easy to follow
each tutorial, and the book is guaranteed to enthuse students and give
them the confidence to express their unique vision and artistic style.
