This review is from: Basic Figure Drawing Techniques (North Light Basic Painting Series) (Paperback)
This book is in my opinion like a very good tutor, to take you through A level and into degree level art, clear exercises in drawing freely and accurately,including structure and anatomy of the figure presented simply and easy to follow; I have found it invaluable in assisting study and still refer to it often, very highly recommended.

Basic Figure Drawing Techniques(North light Painting),
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basic Figure Drawing Techniques (North Light Basic Painting Series) (Paperback)
An excellent choice, for beginning artists. This book includes many essential tools in figure drawing; such as the underlying bases of the figures, many different distinct poses, and also a good introduction to anatomy from an artistic view, yet still easily understandable by beginners. Within, this book you will find many introductory techniques that start from scribble and transform into to beautiful life forms as well as, well-written passages thoroughly explaining everything every step of the way. Therefore, if your interested in figure drawing and have never before even picked up a pencile;this book is your best choice!

Feeling ambivalent about this one, but here's why: ...,
By Bruce Bain "Romans 9:33/Remember Jackie Robinson" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basic Figure Drawing Techniques (North Light Basic Painting Series) (Paperback)
I looked over this book very carefully. At first I thought Greg Albert was the author. [I just finished SLAMMING Greg Albert for a different but poorly authored text elsewhere on Amazon!] But looking carefully, the cover states that Greg Albert is only the "editor" of this book, published by NORTH LIGHT. There was something disturbingly familiar about the illustrations which are excellent...and then I realized, that North Light was the same publisher for WALT REED's "THE FIGURE", published in 1976, and that what North Light Publishers have done is invite GREG ALBERT to do a revision and update of WALT REED's "The Figure" with some new illustrations added, and slapping on an entirely new title. Well...okay... This may give me an unpleasant feeling concerning authorship, but I did give Walt Reed's text a FIVE STAR rating on Amazon.com, and this has new illustrations added in. This is an excellent book on beginner drawing, full of Walt Reed's original BLOCK FIGURES and human puppets. NORTH LIGHT PUBLISHERS was wise to update and revise the current text and continue to polish it. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

The human body is nothing more than irregular cylinders, cubes and other shapes.,
By J. C. Solis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basic Figure Drawing Techniques (North Light Basic Painting Series) (Paperback)
I would recommend this book after you have taken a basic drawing class. First you must master the ability to see all around you as basic shapes. After you have completed that task, this book is the next logical step.
From the begininng, this book offers different ways of observing the human body. Nothing much is needed to begin drawing the human body than a pencil and paper, this book will lead the way. However, for those advanced (or really motivated beginners) this book offers a list of other items to purchase. Each part of the body (except for the feet!) is nicely described in the form of observation and basic shapes. Once you've learned that the human torso is nothing more than a irregularly shaped egg, the rest becomes easy. J. C. |
