Anatomy Sketchbook 3: The Best of Folios 4-6 Commentary and Notes

by Edward Gazsi (Illustrator), Edward Gazsi, Edward Gazsi (Editor)

Overview

This, the third book in the series, focuses on the challenges and solutions to drawing the human figure well. The first of Ed Gazsi's books was "Anatomy Sketchbook: Drawing Lessons Using the Human Figure." The second book was “Anatomy Sketchbook 2: The Best of Folios 1-3 Commentary and Notes.” The best life drawings from Mr. Gazsi's fourth through sixth sketchpads are included in this, his latest effort. Each selected drawing is accompanied by thoughtful comments and notes that will engage both the beginning art student and the accomplished professional. Gazsi brings over fifty years of study to the contents of the book. His drawing approach is realistic, but many examples in the book touch the realms of fantasy, sci-fi, and concept art. Gazsi goes over the essentials of the ideal human proportions in both the male and female figure. He details every muscle or group of muscles that are essential for the figure artist to consider. He also shares his own drawing "secrets," which are drawn from his seventeen years of as a college instructor. Gazsi is no newcomer to the field. He is an accomplished National Geographic Magazine artist. His illustrations have appeared in three fully-illustrated books commissioned by HarperCollins. He has also won numerous awards for his paintings, including a coveted gold medal from the NY Society of Illustrators and gold medals in numerous miniature art exhibitions, including the largest show in the USA, which is held annually in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. This is a great book for those seeking to understand the principles behind the rising academic atelier movement in the USA and around the world.
