help and feedback.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe approach to drawing presented in this book is one l have used for a number of years in theteaching of life drawing and anatomy classes.It is aimed at students in a myriad of disciplines  \n(animation,game art,conceptdesign,comics,GED,etc.),and so does its best to remainconsistent in the emphasis ofmany artistic fundamentals.Inaddition,the drawing processpresented here can be treatedas applicable to different artisticventures.For example,thethought process outlined canbe an aid in understandingsculpture,modeling,painting,etc.Thinking outside theimmediate subject of drawingand training in the thinkingprocess described will help youprepare for a number of differentartistic avenues that require thesame basic skill set.  \nThe approach covered here isprimarily concerned with the useof line,development of form,and the simplified design ofanatomy—the basics of beingable to convincingly invent afigure that exists in space.Whilecontour,shading,and expressionare important elements inthis process,they are not atthe forefront of this particularmethod.  \nThrough teaching this subject over a period of time,I have tried to assemble differenttechnical elements to produce a consistent,beneficial result in student learning.However(before you leave screaming),I consider the approach outlined here as an open,changeable thinking/working process,meant at some point for the reader to personalize.It is my hope that there willbe aspects to the process you disagree with,or deem tonot be as important.After internalizing the information,I suggest altering the approachto more clearly reflect your ideas:such as reorganizing chapters,leaving some chaptersout -or even adding something of your own!So,learn the drawing method outlinedhere for what it has to offer,and what I consider to be the essential elements of drawingthe figure.But keep in mind that it isn't a belief system,or claim to any absolutes --it ismeant to help someone get started.After learning what y","cbCaiceO5Qj5HxyL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiceO5Qj5HxyL","pdf",47585550,241,"English","# Introduction\n# Gesture Drawing\n## The Eight
