Introduction



Perhaps there is no other subject in art that is more intimate or rewarding

than figure drawing. From the earliest cave paintings to stunning artwork

by Michelangelo, the human fascination with capturing our likeness in two-

dimensional form spans thousands and thousands of years. Today, it remains one

of the most popular subjects in art education.

The Complete Book of Poses for Artists offers everything you need to begin

or further your journey in drawing people. Featuring artwork and instruction

from renowned artists Ken and Stephanie Goldman, this book provides a strong

foundation for figure drawing by first discussing anatomy and human proportions

in great detail. Tips, exercises, and example drawings are then offered, covering

topics such as suggesting movement, rendering age, conveying emotion, and

creating engaging compositions. Featuring more than 150 photo references

showcasing a wide variety of poses--from traditional stances to figures in action

and children at play--you can develop your skills for hours upon hours with no

need for a model. Practice is the key to success, and with The Complete Book

of Poses for Artists, you'll have more than enough material to master the art of

drawing people.

Drawing Implements



Drawing pencils, the most common drawing tool and the focus of this book, contain a graphite center. They

are categorized by hardness, or grade, from very soft (9B) to very hard (9H). A good starter set includes

a 6B, 4B, 2B, HB, B, 2H, 4H, and 6H. The chart below shows a variety of drawing tools and the kinds of

strokes you can achieve with each one.

HB An HB with a sharp point produces crisp lines and                 White charcoal

offers good control. A round point produces slightly

thicker lines and is useful for shading small areas.                 Charcoal 4B charcoal is soft and produces dark marks.

                                                                     Natural charcoal vines are even softer and leave a more

Techniques



Basic Drawing Techniques



You can create a variety of effects, lines, and strokes with pencil simply by alternating hand positions

and shading techniques. Many artists use two main hand positions for drawing. The writing position is

good for detailed work that requires hand control. The underhand position allows for a freer stroke with

arm movement and motion that is similar to painting.

for rendering fine details and accents.                   Allow your other fingers to rest alongside the pencil. This

                                                          position is great for creating beautiful shading effects and

Shading Techniques



The shading techniques below can help you learn to render everything from a smooth complexion

and straight hair to shadowed features and simple backgrounds. Whatever techniques you use, always

remember to shade evenly.

Practicing Lines



When drawing lines, it is not necessary to always use a sharp point. In fact, sometimes a blunt point

may create a more desirable effect. When using larger lead diameters, the effect of a blunt point is

even more evident. Play around with your pencils to familiarize yourself with the different types of lines

they can create.



                                                                                                                                   Drawing with a Sharp Point

Smudging



Smudging is an important technique for creating shading and gradients. Use a tortillon or chamois

cloth to blend your strokes. It is important that you do not use your finger; your hands produce

natural oils that can damage your artwork.

Form & Value



Drawing consists of three main elements: line, shape, and form. The shape of an object can be described with

a simple one-dimensional line. The three-dimensional version of the shape is known as the object's form. In

pencil drawing, variations in value (the relative lightness or darkness of black or a color) describe form, giving

an object the illusion of depth. Values range from black (the darkest value) through different shades of gray to

white (the lightest value). To make a two-dimensional object appear three-dimensional, you must pay attention

to the values of the highlights and shadows. When shading a subject, consider the light source, as this is what

determines where highlights and shadows will be.



Rectangle Cylinder  Circle       Sphere       Triangle       Cone  Square       Cube



Moving from Shape to Form The first step in creating an object is establishing a line drawing or outline to delineate the

flat area that the object takes up. This is known as the "shape" of the object. The four basic shapes--the rectangle, circle,

triangle, and square--can appear to be three-dimensional by adding a few carefully placed lines that suggest additional

planes. By adding ellipses to the rectangle, circle, and triangle, you've given the shapes dimension and have begun to

produce a form within space. Now the shapes are a cylinder, sphere, and cone. Add a second square above and to the side

of the first square; then connect them with parallel lines, and you have a cube.

Cast shadow         Cast shadow  Core shadow  Cast shadow          Cast shadow



Adding Value to Create Form A shape can be further defined by showing how light hits the object to create highlights and

shadows. Note from which direction the source of light is coming; then add the shadows accordingly. The core shadow is

the darkest area on the object and is opposite the light source. The cast shadow is what is thrown onto a nearby surface

by the object. The highlight is the lightest area on the object, where the reflection of light is strongest. Reflected light is the

surrounding light reflected into the shadowed area of an object.



Creating Value Scales Just as a musician uses a musical scale to measure a range of notes, an artist uses a value

scale to measure changes in value. You can refer to the value scale so you'll always know how dark to make your dark

values and how light to make your highlights. The scale also serves as a guide for transitioning from lighter to darker

shades. Making your own value scale will help familiarize you with the different variations in value. Work from light to

dark, adding more and more tone for successively darker values (as shown above left); then create a blended value

scale (as shown above right). You can use a tortillon to smudge and blend each value into its neighboring value from

light to dark to create a gradation.

People in Perspective



To practice perspective, try drawing a frontal view of many heads as if they were people sitting in a

theater. Start by establishing your vanishing point at eye level. Draw one large head representing the

person closest to you, and use it as a reference for determining the sizes of the other figures in the

drawing. Keep in mind that a composition also can have two or more vanishing points.

Portraiture Basics



The positioning and size of a person on the picture plane is of utmost importance to the composition. The

open or "negative" space around the portrait subject generally should be larger than the area occupied by

the subject. Whether you are drawing only the face, a head-and-shoulders portrait, or a complete figure,

thoughtful positioning will establish a pleasing composition with proper balance.



Placement                                                    Too far right



The eyes of the subject are the              Good placement                 Too low

key to placement. The eyes

catch the viewer's attention first,

so they should not be placed on

either the horizontal or vertical

center line of the picture plane;

preferably, the eyes should be

placed above the center line.

Avoid drawing too near the

sides, top, or bottom of the

picture plane, as this gives an

uneasy feeling of imbalance.



Lighting the Model



Whether you're working from life or creating a reference photo, how you light the model will play a

huge role in the mood and overall success of your drawing. Below are two drawings of the same woman

by artist Lance Richlin, which were completed with two different lighting styles. The side lighting (left)

creates a harsher look with distinct shadows and more contrast. The front lighting (right) produces a

more feminine, delicate image.
