ANATOMY
The human body is beautiful, complex and utterly
unique, with no single figure the same as another. This
individuality is what makes drawing the human form so
tricky – there are very few certainties or rules when it
comes to drawing people. However, bringing the figure
to life involves more than just re-creating what you see
in front of you; it’s essential to understand the body
and what lies beneath it.
In Paint & Draw: Anatomy, find out how to draw from
life successfully, from simple warm-ups to get your
creative juices flowing, to in-depth tutorials on different
areas of the human body. Discover how to realistically
sketch some of the most complicated parts of the
figure, including the head and the hands, and learn how
to bring it all together to illustrate the entire figure.
