Michael Hampton has mastered the art of gesture when beginning a figure drawing. To avoid a stiff & awkward drawing this book will lead you through a process of lines of movement for each part of the human body. Learn about balance & proportion when drawing the anatomy including spine, head, rib cage, pelvis, arms & legs. Gain confidence when drawing from photo reference or actual live model. Always recognize how & where to begin drawing dynamic figures exhibiting movement & energy. This is definitely a five star drawing book.
