Drawing People: How to Portray the Clothed Figure
Book Description A complete course in drawing, Drawing People focuses on the clothed human being as opposed to the nude figure. The first part of the book discusses the necessary parts of any drawing-proportion, perspective and value. Part two deals with drawing folds and drapery. Author Barbara Bradley shows readers how they can use folds in their drawings, how they're constructed, and how to draw them on people. She also includes how to drawing different clothing on people-disucssing types of fabrics and how they fold. The final section of the book includes all the tips readers need to complete their figures, including drawing heads and hands accurately and special instructions for drawing children. About The Author Barbara Bradley was the Director of Illustration for 25 years at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. She has taught several classes and workshops on drawing in the US, as well as in London. Her work is displayed in the Society of Illustrators Museum of American Illustration and in the permanent collection of the US Air Force. She lives in Berkeley, California. Reader Reviews This is a must have book for any artist. The book is like a guide for home reparis. Only the subject matter is figure, clothing, portraits, and posture of figures, eyeballs and noses, and even how to hold a pencil. An example of the excellent instruction is on how to draw a cloth fold. "Imagine ants as they follow trails over the fold. They disappear and reappear." The information is better then any class I have taken or book I have read. It is not a book just on technique, but it teaches how to see the object. Barbara Bradley shares a road map, and shell tells what signs to watch out for and what intersections can create a problem. Every artist should have this book. Comment | | (Report this)
