Drawing the Human Body: The Art of Figure Construction

"Drawing the Human Body: The Art of Figure Construction" is a book that no artist should be without. It touches a very important note in the art of figure drawing, basing the reason for its method of instruction on the idea that the beginner should be instructed in drawing the figure as a whole before studying detached parts; that the time employed in making strokes should be limited; that it is easier to draw the figure in action than half action; and that the action of the body may be expressed in nearly every instance by two main lines. "This book is intensely interesting, full of splendid illustrations, and is designed primarily for high schools and colleges, but is also invaluable to students studying from the model in the life class." - School Arts Magazine
