Sketching Men
In Sketching Men, veteran art instructor Koichi Hagawa, PhD explains how to quickly capture the dynamic male form through two distinct styles of sketching: Very rapid (1-3 minute) line drawings that capture the essence of the subject's posture and movement--perfect for recording athletic action poses in the moment. More finished tonal drawings, which take a bit longer to render (7-10 minutes), but fill in lots of interesting texture and wonderfully realistic details and nuances, including the play of light and shadow, three-dimensional form and a sense of mass and balance.
Learn to sketch the following: Individual body parts and their bones and muscles, Objects held in the hands and with both arms, Standing and sitting poses, Transitions from prone and sitting poses to a standing pose, Bending, reaching and leaning poses, Pushing, throwing and dancing poses & Folds, gathers and drape of clothing.
