SynopsisIn contrast to the standard method for measuring figure proportions in various fractions and multiples of the human head, this novel approach to anatomy for artists is based on easy-to-remember equivalences. The reader will learn, for example, that the width of the hand is equivalent to the width of the knee. It also equals the height of the neck and the width of the foot. The reader will be encouraged to learn this system, not by abstract memorization, but by the kinetic understanding of his or her own body. Because human bodies do not vary all that greatly in proportion, the reader can then transfer this understanding to the model, and, most important, to the figure drawn on the page.FEATURES* Includes basic anatomy and drawing information* Breaks the body down into 16 parts or regions with techniques for determining the height, width and depth of each* 5-7 step-by-step demonstrations help the reader put the proportion equivalences into practice* Concludes with a "checklist" in the form of a short poem of rhyming couplets to help the reader make sure his figure drawing is properly proportioned, An intuitive approach for figure artists to get proportions right. Traditional methods of measuring body proportions rely on the abstract memorization of convoluted fractions or multiples of the human head. But artists shouldn't have to be mathematicians. Figure Drawing in Proportion introduces a better, more intuitive, less intimidating way to get proportions right. It starts with the revelation that--despite the wonderful variety of bodies in this world--the human figure has standard size relationships artists can build upon for accurate renderings. If you know, for example, that the collarbone is the same width as the head, it's much easier to draw the head in proper relationship to the shoulders. Knowing that the palm should be the same width as the knee helps establish the correct relationships in a seated portrait. This book highlights dozens of such key internal and comparative measurements. Once you start looking, you will discover even more. Ideal for any level of artist, this practical approach to proportions makes figure drawing more approachable and more rewarding. Inside you'll find: - 9 full step-by-step demonstrations, using various poses and figures to show proportioning techniques in practice. - Internal and comparative measurements and how to apply them to figure drawings. - Simple strategies for recalling key proportions as you work., An intuitive approach for figure artists to get proportions right.
