Synopsis

Built around the quick pose, defined here as a figure drawing completed in under 20 minutes, this book examines how speed can sharpen observation and decision-making. More than 300 illustrations provide examples designed to be studied, with most images created in under five minutes to encourage dynamic poses and decisive editing.

Meads also addresses core considerations in figurative work, including symmetry, foreshortening, light and shadow, and drapery, supported by a concise, carefully structured text. Suitable for artists, art students, and art teachers, as well as anyone who draws.
