Budding artists can master the toughest and most treasured technique of all: portraying the beauty, grace, and personality of the human body. This wonderful tutorial, and a variety of inspiring sketches on every page, provide the solid technical foundation needed to depict every type of figure—young or old, male or female, standing, sitting, or in motion—and with style. Detailed drawings, some with grids, help capture the correct proportions for head, torso, arms, and legs; add light and shadow for tonal depth; and create texture, volume, and expressive lines.

Aid to learners of English

The Grammar of a language is the system of that Language recorded form usage in actual speech. Rules laid down in the Grammar of a language are drawn from, made in accordance with, the accepted, correct usage. Therefore, if an accepted correct usage disagrees with the grammar rule, it is the rule that is to be ignored; and this fact leaves the problem to future grammarians. This booklet is not a complete course of English grammar, composition and usage; it is far from being one.
The Book has 146 pages.
