More About This Book

Overview


Draw Natural and Believable Clothed Figures

In Drawing People, award-winning illustrator and instructor Barbara Bradley provides all the information you need to render clothed human figures with energy, detail and control.

Bradley begins by teaching the basics of any drawing, including proportion, perspective and value. Next, you'll learn how to overcome the special challenges posed by clothing, including fabric folds and draping effects. Bradley illustrates how they're constructed and how to draw them in different situations - on male and female figures that are active or at rest.

These reliable, proven drawing techniques will add a natural feel to your art, resulting in figures that look as if they could walk, run or dance right off the page.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Teaching the difficult art of portraiture has come a long way since the days when models were often limited to well-muscled white people. Bradley specializes in portraying the clothed figure of all ages, in attire that varies from jeans to togas. The first part discusses proportion, perspective, and value, while the second part considers drawing folds and drapery. The final section offers tips on completing figures, including how to draw faces and hands and special instructions for drawing children. The result is a competent manual by a 25-year veteran of teaching at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Watson's Life Drawing Class is a rich and dynamic volume on the human form, clothed and unclothed, flabby and buff, indoors and out. Using pencil, charcoal, ink, and watercolor, Watson (Artists Sketchbook) utilizes photographs to complement lessons in balance and proportion, lighting, mood, and composition. These are two fine additions to the field. Large collections can supplement these with more specific works like Chris Saper's Painting Beautiful Skin Tones with Color & Light.

    A good supplement for beginners

    This is by no means an in-depth, comprehensive beginner's book, but I found it full of useful tips and artistic drawing aides. Most artists learn these on their own eventually, either consciously or subconsciously, but it's nice to have it all layed out so that you are more aware of what you're doing and why you do it. I can see this being very helpful to a beginner seeking to improve, and as an intermediate artist I still found some tips that changed the way I thought about drawing the figure. The actual section on clothing is small and not really the best part of the book, though it's just as helpful as the other general categories it covers.
