Figure Drawing Demonstrations Step-By-Step

Figure Drawing Demonstrations Step by Step by Glenn V. Vilppu is a digital PDF book for students and artists studying figure drawing. It presents classroom demonstrations in clear stages and is available as an instant download.

The book shows how drawings develop from an initial total impression to increasingly specific forms and details. Readers can return to earlier stages and copy the drawings step by step.

The demonstrations range from quick sketches with only a few steps to more complicated finished drawings. Each demonstration was created in class on a Toshiba Portege tablet computer.

Book Overview

Glenn V. Vilppu addresses the difficulty students may have remembering the stages of a drawing demonstration. His method begins with the total, then uses simple volumes as guides for developing and explaining the figure.

The book explains that the drawings do not all follow the same sequence, while the basic logic remains consistent. It presents drawing fundamentals as practical tools rather than fixed rules and connects the material with visual thinking.

Vilppu recommends using this work as a supplement to the Vilppu Drawing Manual and classroom lecture and demonstration DVDs. The material is suited to readers who want to study figure drawing through repeated observation and practice.
