The ultimate guide to learning how to capture action and dynamic movement in figure drawings. A vital step in developing drawing skills, gesture drawing helps aspiring artists get more comfortable with studying the human body and learning how to depict its connections, curves, and movements. Noted drawing instructor and best-selling author Michael Hampton shares all the secrets for developing gesture and figure drawing skills.
Geared towards the novice and experienced artist alike, this book aims to clarify and explain the ambiguous concept of gesture drawing. Pulling from formal principles of line, rhythm, shape, and perspective, Gesture Drawing slows down the often rapidly executed practice of gesture and clarifies each step. Featuring examples and a wide range of exercises, this book will help anyone become a stronger and more confident artist.

I think the author is a great teacher and I will keep this book – but please explain to me why his books are written in a fine, thin font in a light grey print? It is really annoying working so hard to read his written word. Shame on the publisher, and him, for approving this.

Detailed explanations for covering a topic that usually doesn’t get it’s own book. The book shows how to convert the gestures into specific body parts, but it doesn’t show how to convert gesture drawings into complete figures.
