Description

Bridgman's classic, essential guide: 1,000+ drawings and 22 expert lessons on mastering the human figure from every angle
Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life combines six well-known books by celebrated artist and lecturer George A. Bridgman, who taught figure and anatomy drawing at New York City's Art Students League.

This fifth edition preserves Bridgman's comprehensive, unequalled lessons and original sketches but repackages it with a new eye-catching cover that distinguishes it from the competition. In addition, the interior art has been cleaned and the design freshened in two-color. In its sleek new format, this authoritative volume is sure to continue as one of the premier figure-drawing publications of all time.
