Book Overview
Steve Huston begins with an introduction to materials, workspace, and the ritual of making art. The first part examines the elements of drawing, including structure, basic gesture, perspective, and the laws of light.
The second part breaks down the human body into basic forms. Chapters cover the head, torso, arms and hands, legs and feet, followed by light and shadows and finishing details.
The approach presents drawing as a visual language. It emphasizes consistent marks, connected forms, and a step-by-step process for developing figure drawings.

Why This Book Matters
Figure drawing requires an understanding of how the body’s parts relate within a larger form. Huston’s method gives readers a clear framework for studying that relationship through structure and gesture.
The book also connects fundamental drawing ideas with the practices of the Old Masters and with examples from different art movements. Its focus remains practical: helping artists make more controlled and expressive marks.
