Book Reviews of Bridgman's Life Drawing
Book Review: Best Drawing book ever written for ilife drawing!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bridgeman teaches everything that a figure drawing artist needs to know in a clear, concise, logical, inside out progression. He teaches the mechanical workings of the limbs in relation to their counterparts and even details the tendons and striations as never before. He avoids teaching a particular style by focusing on the anatomical correctness of the figure and not the way to draw. I learned more from this book than from any other book. Period.
