Life drawing has been a staple of the art world since our ancestors drew figures of hunters on cave walls. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans created beautiful works of art using nude models, not to mention the works the "Great Masters." Nude drawings can also provide an interesting basis for drawing clothed or draped figures.
This books gives you an opportunity to study some of the sketches of a skilled artist completed during actual life drawing sessions. It contains 39 drawings of real nude models. Most sketches were completed within a ten to twenty minute time frame using graphite or ballpoint pens. The contour lines provide a reference for the locations of shadows since the short time frame does not allow for the finished drawing. The resulting picture is similar to a paint by the number painting.
