Drawing a figure

In this book, I treat figures as living creatures - different types of movement are related to structure. We will draw nude figures to better understand how to draw them with clothes on. Think of figures as objects that have mass and volume, that are illuminated and therefore have shadows - in other words, objects placed in a familiar space. Learn to see the nature of light - how it affects the form, on its planes, falling in different directions. We will separately study the human head and its structure. In other words, here you will find the basics on which you will draw original and convincing human figures. Interpretation, type, poses, experiences, clothing and jewelry - everything will be up to you. Whatever you draw - an advertisement, an illustration for a book, a poster or a calendar - the basics don't change. Technique is not as important as young artists usually think. The life and emotions, the ideals you put into your work are much more important. And of course, your taste in choosing clothes and backgrounds is important - provided you have mastered the basics. Even the most fashionable clothes don't look good on a poorly drawn figure. Experiences and emotions can't be shown with the wrong facial construction. You can't do color illustrations without knowledge of light and hues, just as you can't even hope to get a good composition if you don't have knowledge of perspective. Your job as an artist in advertising is to praise and idealize what is around you. My job is to help you until you no longer need my help. After that, you will go on your own.
