Product Description

Product Description
Figure drawing is the most essential - and the most difficult - of all the skills for the artist to learn. In this manual Burne Hogarth introduces his own system of figure drawing, which should make it possible to visualize and accurately render the forms of the human body from every conceivable point of view. First Hogarth describes the forms of the human figure. Then he demonstrates his "deep space" notion, a systematic sketching order that is the key to drawing the figure with believable interconnection of forms and control of foreshortening. By mastering this remarkable system, artists should be able to draw an amazing variety of poses, actions and gestures without a model, while maintaining the correct relationship between forms.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy this book it will not disappoint., 11 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The chances are that you are already interested in drawing dynamic style figures before you even choose to look at this book. If this is the case once you have stopped marvelling at the fantastic drawings within, you will quickly start to understand and benefit from them and the accompanying text. It is a book that has already helped me introduce more movement, depth and dimension into the illustrations that I do. If drawing the human figure is essential to you then trust me when I say 'buy this book it will not disappoint'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A staple for any artist.. struggling or otherwise, 7 April 1999
By A Customer
I've been Drawing Comics for the past eight years and i recomend this book to everyone. Gives great insight into anatomy and not the traditional rehash of 7 1/2 head tall three heads wide etc. This book has helped me out alot giving tips and tricks to prooblem areas like the back muscles and different perspectives and especially those pesky hands. Most other books concentrate on the every day anatomy, this book gives what it says "DYNAMIC!" A MUST if you enjoy drawing comics. Thanks Burne!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best figure drawing books I've encountered!, 11 Mar 1999
By A Customer
From the first page I turned in Hogarth's Drawing the Human Head I was hooked. Little did I know that there was an even more exciting, innovative book from the same author! Dynamic Figure Drawing is the best book of it's kind! Instead of taking the overused step-by-step approach--which may do more harm than help--this book allows the reader to simply absorb all that is needed from useful explanations and beautiful sketches.
