Dynamic Figure Drawing : A New Approach to Drawing the Moving Figure in Deep Space and Foreshortening

Figure drawing is the most essential - and the most difficult - of all the skills for the artist to learn. In this manual Burne Hogarth introduces his own system of figure drawing, which should make it possible to visualize and accurately render the forms of the human body.

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:
• body forms
• figures in deep 3D space
• interconnection and overlapping of forms
• foreshortening
• bodies in motion
• and more!
