One of the best books in its field, Anatomy and Drawing helps demystify a complex subject by enabling students to visualize the muscles and bones under the skin, and covers just about everything a beginner needs to know about drawing the human anatomy. Its fullness of information is given in simple clear form, in the manner of the accomplished draftsman. The human figure, under its various condition of age, sex and action has been so completely recorded, in its larger aspects as with details; the mechanism of the body-its bone structure, sinews and muscles so thoroughly studied and presented, that your work is nothing short of an encyclopedia; and all this within reasonable limits and in excellent form. REVIEWS: I am astonished at the amount of study, research and orderly execution that was required for the making of your Anatomy and Drawing. A very instructive book is Victor Perard's Anatomy and Drawing.Its numerous and explicit drawings are of great value to the art student; to the beginner it serves to stimulate the interest and to realize the need of anatomical knowledge-for the advanced student and the artist it refreshes the memory in a vivid and thorough way. Mr. Victor Perard has given to artists and art students a very fine book on human anatomy.I have strongly recommended it to students attending lectures on anatomy as it is clear, definite, and very workable. The author thoroughly understands the muscles and bone structure, and also knows how to present the subject most interestingly to beginners and students. At last the mystery of drawing has been unfolded to future artists through the simple, carefully systematized methods of your book Anatomy and Drawing. The knowledge you impart renders the artist's effort easier, gives his drawing more freedom, character and interest, thus enabling him to dispose more readily of his work. |
| constructive anatomy by george bridgman: The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing Anthony Ryder, 2014-03-02 Many of us want to learn “how to draw.” But as artist Anthony Ryder explains, it’s much more important to learn what to draw. In other words, to observe and draw what we actually see, rather than what we think we see. When it comes to drawing the human figure, this means letting go of learned ideas and expectation of what the figure should look like. It means carefully observing the interplay of form and light, shape and line, that combine to create the actual appearance of human form. In The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing, amateur and experienced artists alike are guided toward this new way of seeing and drawing the figure with a three-step drawing method. The book’s progressive course starts with the block-in, an exercise in seeing and establishing the figure’s shape. It then build to the contour, a refined line drawing that represents the figure’s silhouette. The last step is tonal work on the inside of the contour, when light and shadow are shaped to create the illusion of form. Separate chapters explore topics critical to the method: gesture, which expresses a sense of living energy to the figure; light, which largely determines how we see the model; and form, which conveys the figure’s volume and mass. Examples, step-by-steps, and special “tips” offer helpful hints and practical guidance throughout. Lavishly illustrated with the author’s stunning artwork, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing combines solid instruction with thoughtful meditations on the art of drawing, to both instruct and inspire artists of all levels. |

| constructive anatomy by george bridgman: Constructive Anatomy George B. Bridgman, 2014-05-20 George Brant Bridgman (1865–1943) was a Canadian-American painter, writer, and teacher in the fields of anatomy and figure drawing. Bridgman taught anatomy for artists at the Art Students League of New York for some 45 years. Constructive Anatomy: Illustrated by George B. Bridgman. Excellent book of anatomical drawing instruction. Ideal for beginning to intermediate artists, begins with instruction on drawing hands and works its way through the human body giving detailed instruction on how to draw realistic human figures. The drawings that are presented here show the conceptions that have proved simplest and most effective in constructing the human figure. The eye in drawing must follow a line or a plane or a mass. In the process of drawing, this may become a moving line, or a moving plane, or a moving mass. The line, in actual construction, must come first; but as mental construction must precede physical, so the concept of mass must come first, that of plane second, that of line last. Masses of about the same size or proportion are conceived not as masses, but as one mass; those of different proportions, in respect to their movement, are conceived as wedging into each other, or as morticed or interlocking. |
