    Fluid, fast and expressive life drawing starts here. Step by step, you'll learn to render fleeting gestures from memory, capture expressions simply and more quickly, give your drawing a life of its own with body language, and more.

    • A comprehensive course on drawing from life, based on classic principles
    • Essential techniques for drawing gesture, figures, clothing, expression, body language and more
    • Lots of exercises that bring lessons to life
    The skills you'll learn from this book are so fundamental that every artist will find something in these useful lessons for making the most of all the inspiration that life has to offer.
