Front Cover
1 Review
North Light Books, Jan 10, 2003 - Art - 143 pages
While it's often said that students must learn to draw what they see, learning to see with understanding is just as crucial to create truly accurate drawings. In the Art of Figure Drawing-a concise guide to rendering the male and female form in the classic style-Clem Robins teaches readers everything they need to know to master this valuable, challenging skill. This practical guide combines direct observation of the human form with an analytical study of anatomy, perspective, light, shade and composition. Each chapter includes a finished drawing to illustrate its theme, along with explanatory text and annotated drawings or step-by-step demonstrations. Clem Robins is a professional artist and illustrator who teaches at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He has studied figure drawing with Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle at the Art Students League in New York and painted with Joseph Hirsch and Robert Phillipp. He lives in Covington, Kentucky.
