In Drawing People, award-winning illustrator and instructor Barbara Bradley provides all the information you need to render clothed human figures with energy, detail and control.
Bradley begins by teaching the basics of any drawing, including proportion, perspective and value. Next, you'll learn how to overcome the special challenges posed by clothing, including fabric folds and draping effects. Bradley illustrates how they're constructed and how to draw them in different situations - on male and female figures that are active or at rest.
These reliable, proven drawing techniques will add a natural feel to your art, resulting in figures that look as if they could walk, run or dance right off the page.

A how to book of drawing for all who want to draw better.,
By Bob Walker (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing People (Hardcover)
Barbara Bradley's New book "Drawing People" is a joy to those of us who love to draw and want to learn the skills and the methods that clearly she has mastered. Her many years of teaching drawing give her the insights about how best to get started as well as how to begin to really see. I love the clearity of her examples and her spirit and knowlege of the internal process between our ears and in our heart, encouraging us to better understand what we feel and enabling us to grow our ability to observe the world around us and to represent our opions about it skillfully. Too often drawing is regarded as a mechanical process. Bravo!

The Heart of a Good Drawing,
By Sandrah Moles (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing People (Hardcover)
Barbara Bradley's book, "Drawing People" is a completely comprehensive approach to figure drawing.She covers every technical challenge, from physically setting-up to draw and various mediums to use, to proper figure proportions and nuances in facial and hand gestures, to portraying correct fabric texture and draping on the figure. She not only conveys every technical aspect of learning good draughtsmanship, she speaks to the heart and soul of the artist, instructing them to form an opinion of a subject before translating it to paper. The subtle power of her expressive poses suceeds in conveying the true essence of great figure drawing...the emotional heart of portraying a human being. Beginners will learn from it but this book is easily an art instructors' secret weapon. Sincerely, Sandrah Raef Moles
