Figure Drawing: Design and Invention

Mastering anatomy for artistry and innovation.

If you’re an aspiring artist or even someone with experience, "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention" is the kind of book you’ll find both enlightening and functional. This isn't just about learning to draw; it's about understanding the human form in a way that allows you to create vivid, dynamic figures from your imagination. Michael Hampton's approach will add to your artistic toolkit, whether you're sketching for fun or developing a professional portfolio.
