"An artist's guide to figure drawing that applies the classic concept of the ""drawn mannequin"" to modern illustration, allowing renderers to capture the figure from a variety of angles and poses without the use of models or photo references.

Draw the Human Figure Anywhere, Anytime

For today's in-demand comic creators, animators, video game artists, concept designers, and more, being able to quickly draw the human figure in a variety of action-packed poses is a requirement. But what do you do if you don't have models or photographic reference readily available? In Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators, artist and instructor David H. Ross provides an alternative solution, showing you how to master freehand figure drawing without visual reference by using a modern twist on the classic technique of blocking out the human figure in mannequin form. Step-by-step lessons guide illustrators from basic poses (standing, running, jumping) to extreme motions (throwing punches, high kicking). For on-the-go artists, Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators allows you complete freedom to bring your figures to life at any time."

Reviews for Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators

Dave Ross has created an invaluable tool for both students and professionals. While photos and models are useful, artists shouldn t be limited by the reference available to them. Dave gives the artist the means to build a figure from the imagination based on gesture, construction, and anatomy. --June Brigman, comics artist, co-creator of Power Pack from Marvel Comics, and professor of sequential art at the Savannah College of Art and Design
