Product Description
Product Description
The timeless classic on drawing human figures is back! Following impressive runs by Sterling s previous editions comes a new, redesigned version of George W. Bridgman s landmark work. It combines six well-known books by the celebrated artist and lecturer, who taught figure and anatomy drawing for many years at New York City s Art Students League. This edition preserves Bridgman's lessons and original sketches, but now features a nostalgic, eye-catching cover that distinguishes it from the competition. In its sleek new format, this comprehensive guide will certainly continue its reign as one of the premier figure-drawing publication of all time.

Format:Paperback
Brigdeman's a genius when it comes to life drawing. This is a complete book covering whatever he taught through his lifetime, and a must for every life drawing student. The illustrations are a bit fuzzy, but you should expect them as they are copies of the Bridgeman's original works. But I would still give it five stars, as life drawing is more of a person's own passion than beautiful illustrations to inspire you. This is a book for people starting at all levels, and something you'd love to go back to again and again.
This book features complete structural study, incorporating muscle and skeletal studies to give you a complete idea of how a human body behaves in rest or in motion. Yes, its a physics of its own kind, but don't be deterred by it, but be inspired and keep your pencils and charcoal flowing.
So, if you're passionate about life drawing and want to make your efforts worthwhile, get this book and get hooked to it.
