Life drawing is the acid test of draughtsmanship. The nude figure is one of the most difficult of all subjects to draw and therefore offers the greatest challenge to an artist’s skill. Because of this it is used as the basis of teaching at most of the world’s principal art schools. In this book all clothes are cast aside and the author’s knowledge and experience of drawing the nude female form is shared with students and amateurs to whom he explains and demonstrates the procedures he advocates. The book is fully illustrated with litho reproductions of many of his own drawings; all of which have been exclusively prepared for this context; as well as by selected works from the hands of other masters of the human figure, both of the past and the present.
