Description:

This information-packed book by an experienced art teacher covers two important aspects of drawing the human figure-anatomy and perspective-that are seldom treated within the same book. With the help of more than 90 illustrations, the author demonstrates a number of the principles involved in figure drawing, including their representation by such simple forms as the cube, cylinder, and sphere. Also considered are the use of such accessories as eyeglasses and clothing-elements that virtually become part of the figure's anatomy. Clearly and concisely written, Anatomy and Perspective will be an important addition to any artist's personal library. Bibliography. Index. 96 black-and-white figures.
