transcends time and space\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 『Steve Houston's Human Drawing』, which reinterprets human drawing through masterpieces of the century, is an original and systematic human drawing technique book containing the know-how of Steve Houston, a renowned art instructor and fine art painter.\u003cbr\u003e With a distinguished career, he teaches human figure drawing to aspiring artists and artists working in renowned studios.\u003cbr\u003e This book introduces how to draw the human body 'simply yet characteristically' based on basic design lines, such as the structure that forms the frame and the gestures hidden within it. \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, it has provided insight to numerous artists by illuminating human body drawing from various perspectives through the works of great masters such as Michelangelo and Rodin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book starts with the basic concepts of drawing, such as introduction to materials, line drawing, shape expression, perspective, and shading, and then moves on to the finishing touches, such as the expression of the human body structure and details, such as the head, torso, hands, and feet.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout the entire process, he observes the subject of the drawing, the 'human body', in detail, while presenting unique methods such as drawing the side view of the head in the shape of a triangular sail or expressing the eyes as the holes of a whistle.\u003cbr\u003e The works of masters who express the dynamism and vitality of the human body in their own unique styles make us realize that originality, achieved through a thorough understanding of the human body, is an essential element for an artist. \u003cbr\u003eThis book, which has been adopted as a drawing textbook in many art schools around the world and has been consistently loved, will lay the foundation for human figure drawing with its abundant examples and explanations, and will serve as the driving force for finding your own style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's

Since the human body is not linear like a building, it must be fluid through gestures.\u003cbr\u003e According to this book, gestures are the connections and relationships between forms, their lifeline, and they prevent a drawing from looking stiff and composed.\u003cbr\u003e Gestures are the movement between forms and the design lines that breathe life into them, such as the wavy lines hidden in body movements, the asymmetrical curves in a leaning posture, and the subtle curves of muscles and bones connecting the skull and face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDesigning with ‘structure’ and ‘gesture’\u003cbr\u003e Simple yet distinctive human figure drawing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe simple structure becomes a tool to capture gestures in a way that characterizes the human body and is intended to be used.\u003cbr\u003e This book begins by drawing the main features of each human body part, such as fingers that taper from a cylindrical shape to a cone, interlocking joints like bolts and nuts, and the 'column and beam' structure that forms the pelvis and legs.\u003cbr\u003e Here, various poses, gestures, and light and shade expressions continue.\u003cbr\u003e These structures and gestures connect with and expand upon familiar artistic concepts found in masterpieces.\u003cbr\u003e From the tug-of-war between symmetry and asymmetry in the Venus de Milo, to Michelangelo's extreme use of contrapposto, to Sargent's portrait rendered even more vividly with chiaroscuro, to Peter Lelly's arm expressed in egg-shaped and cylindrical shapes, these excellent examples can help us understand this more clearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to this book, there is no great painter or art movement that has copied nature exactly as it is. \u003cbr\u003eThey do not 'capture' living things, but reveal something new within them.\u003cbr\u003e Starting from simple shapes, he draws hidden gestures while also boldly omitting visible parts depending on his intention.\u003cbr\u003e Also, by taking advantage of the human body drawing, the background is blurred and the character is highlighted more.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, you can easily learn these characteristics of masterpieces through drawing exercises.\u003cbr\u003e Like the great artists who are recognized today for their unique perspectives, let's open up our own possibilities through this book. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 pages | 216*254*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788979293760\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8979293763 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891629785130,"sku":"142338","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/502da09cd9e232d3cdfe7e14fa0fbe9b.jpg?v=1765334582","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/142338","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
