Art Instruction Book - DRAWING - The Art of DRAWING, DRAWING Hands & Feet by Giovanni Civardi

Form, proportions, gestures and actions 

Using pencils, charcoal, pastels, pen and ink, watercolours, felt pens and more, Giovanni teaches the importance of observation and sketching, and how to capture life and movement.

He shows how to simplify the hands and feet of children and adults, with illustrations and an easy-to-understand section on the importance of anatomy and proportions.

For anyone interested in the figure, this book is invaluable. It is packed with information, quick sketches and more elaborate works.

Many different techniques are included, from the linear method where the contours of the shapes are sketched, to the structural method where the main areas are emphasised. 

Further explanations about light, shade and tone give helpful advice on capturing the essence of the drawing.
