SynopsisOne of the foremost drawing teachers shows how to render 7 different kinds of folds: pipe, zigzag, spiral, half-lock, diaper pattern, drop, and inert. 200 black-and-white illustrations., Many art students and professionals have mastered the art of depicting unclothed figures, but still have trouble accurately rendering clothing or other forms of draped cloth. Part of the problem -- before this book came along -- was that there was a lack of concise and simple instruction on the subject, and much that was written was too vague to be helpful. This comprehensive, well-illustrated book was created to solve the problem. In these pages George Bridgman -- a longtime instructor at New York's Art Student League and one of the nation's foremost teachers of figure drawing -- offers expert advice on depicting draped figures. Clothing is none other than a drapery arranged around a body that is beneath it. To express the multitudinous forms it takes, one should learn to express in a direct way the different characters of folds, for each one plays its individual part as distinctly apart as actors play their different characters upon the stage. Students learn the characteristics of seven different kinds of folds and how to render them, including pipe, zigzag, spiral, half-lock, diaper pattern, drop, and inert folds. Mastery of these principles is the key to realistic portrayal of garments, as well as the proper rendering of cloth in still lifes. The straightforward, easy-to-follow text is illustrated by 200 of Bridgman's own sketches and diagrams, reproduced from pencil renderings in crisp halftones. Art students, teachers, and professionals alike are sure to welcome this inexpensive republication of a practical, hands-on manual by a master of figure drawing., Students learn the characteristics of seven different kinds of folds and how to render them, including pipe, zigzag, spiral, half-lock, diaper pattern, drop, and inert folds.

Bridgman the Great
George Bridgman was at one time the most well-known and respected authority on anatomy for artists. He taught at Art Students League in NYC for a long time and he issue at least three books on anatomy for artists, that were standard textbooks for art students at the time. Plus, as I just discovered, he issue this book on the draped figure, showing the standard methods for drawing or painting drapery (aka, clothing) as it is impacted by the human form. I was very surprised and pleased to discover this book. It shows the methods used by Renaissance painters when they went from the nude to the clothed figure. He was himself an amazing draftsman of the human body with all the skills of a Renaissance artist. His book on the anatomy of the human hand is unparalleled. The hand is by far the most difficult to master due to its intricacy and range of movement. Most artists find a formula and stick to it, even when the formula doesn't look quite so human. Bridgman knew the anatomy and possible movements of the human hand probably better than any artist in history. Those he draws never appear formulaic. I've given four stars because Bridgman did have one weakness, and that was the fact he was not much of a writer. So lots of diagrams with very little text is typical of him.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
