Academic drawing helps us see form and convey it realistically on the page. It teaches us to sense tonal relationships, perceive perspective and distortion of objects as they recede from the viewer, and distinguish between types of shading.
In this book, the author uses his six-stage drawing method. He demonstrates step-by-step and provides clear explanations on how to draw a human head, figure, and portrait—from constructing the skull to drawing from life. A separate section is devoted to the architectural element—the capital—demonstrating the principles for executing each detail. Understanding the approach itself, its sequence, and precise instructions will allow you to achieve skillful execution, depth, integrity, and expressiveness in your work.
This book is intended for students of art and architecture universities and faculties, students of vocational schools, and anyone who wants to improve their drawing skills.
The book presents an illustrated method for step-by-step work on the main tasks of academic compositions:
- male figure in contrapposto position;
- Doryphoros figure;
- a figure of a young man standing on one leg;
- a half-length portrait of Niccolò da Uzzano in profile;
- a half-length portrait of Niccolò da Uzzano in three-quarter length;
- head of Diadumenos;
- female portrait;
- male portrait with shoulder girdle;
- drawing of a Doric capital.
