<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In <i>Sketching Men</i>, veteran art instructor Koichi Hagawa, PhD explains how to quickly capture the dynamic male form through two distinct styles of sketching: </b><ul><li>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</li><li>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</li></ul><b>Learn to sketch the following: </b><ul><li>Individual body parts and their bones and muscles</li><li>Objects held in the hands and with both arms</li><li>Standing and sitting poses</li><li>Transitions from prone and sitting poses to a standing pose</li><li>Bending, reaching and leaning poses</li><li>Pushing, throwing and dancing poses</li><li>Folds, gathers and drape of clothing</li></ul><br>This book contains hundreds of detailed studies and helpful examples. Your sketches will improve rapidly as you learn all about how human anatomy--the skeleton, muscles and posture--all come together to express the uniquely male form.
