I’ve taken a break from oil painting for a while to brush up on my drawing skills. I’m taking a instructed figure drawing class as well as working through the lessons from a few good books.
This latest book Life Drawing in Charcoal by Douglas R. Graveshas teaches an alternative approach to drawing that better suits my oil painting mind set.
“Rather than building up a drawing from lines, this innovative method encourages students to begin with tonal masses. Suitable for experts as well as beginners, its step-by-step demonstrations feature over 200 illustrations. Topics include foreshortening, use of modeling to achieve added dimension, facial features, and other aspects of life drawing.”
