Best-selling author and art tutor Jake Spicer here gives you all the skills you need to sketch a convincing figure in just 15 minutes.
With a syllabus of carefully crafted tutorials, from how to put together a basic sketch of a person, to developing your drawings and taking them further, materials and set-up, mark-making, spatial relationships and how clothes hang on a body, every aspect of the figure drawing process is examined. A special emphasis on guerilla sketching in public places – cafes, trains, buses, and anywhere that people are to be seen in action – means that this book will be especially useful for those unable to find the time to make it to a regular life drawing class.
