Dynamic Figure Drawing: A New Approach to Drawing the Moving Figure in Deep Space and Foreshortening - Paperback
by Burne Hogarth (Author)
The definitive resource for rendering realistic figures that seem to leap off the page, from the acclaimed cartoonist hailed as the "Michelangelo of the comic strip"
Dynamic figure drawing is the most essential of all skills for the artist to learn, and one of its most challenging aspects is foreshortening. One must visualize the body forms from every conceivable point of view as they plunge into deep space, often rendering them in radical foreshortening. In Dynamic Figure Drawing, Burne Hogarth offers a revolutionary system that will enable you to draw an incredible variety of poses, actions, and gestures without a model and with the correct relationship between forms. Dynamic Figure Drawing covers:Burne Hogarth (1911-1996), hailed as the "Michelangelo of the comic strip," was one of the most iconic cartoonists and influential arts educators of the twentieth century. Best known for his innovative illustrations of the syndicated Sunday Tarzan, Hogarth broke fresh ground in the newspaper comic strip by combining classicism, expressionism, and narrative in a powerful, new way. As cofounder of the School of Visual Arts--one of the world's leading art schools--he brought his unique approach to art into the classroom. Hogarth's art has been exhibited in many important galleries around the world including the Louvre in the Museé des Arts Décoratifs and Marseilles' Bibliothèque. He traveled the world throughout his life receiving numerous international awards and accolades.
