Synopsis

Moving from foundational life-drawing principles to figure drawing without a live model, this book sets out a practical approach to creating accurate, evocative figures from recall. Ron Tiner begins with informal sketches and a concise introduction to anatomical structure, then develops the reader’s understanding of movement and how the body can suggest age, emotion and character.

Throughout, the emphasis is on balancing anatomical accuracy with dynamism and expression, helping artists build figures that feel alive on the page. The instruction is designed to support a wide range of practitioners, including cartoonists and graphic artists, and extends to applications in illustration, graphic design, and graphic narratives.
