Overview
Richly illustrated and interactive in its approach, Life Drawing: A Sketch and Textbook is an innovative, dual-use textbook/sketchbook, combining technical instruction with the space to actually execute the lessons. Its unique format alternates between education and practice-a critical balance in studio-art courses. Concise instructions are supported by a wide assortment of examples that clearly address the basics of drawing the human figure and the application of life drawing skills in a variety of fields, including animation and the web. Ample blank space throughout the text gives students the opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned, creating a journal of drawings, ideas, and notes right in their text, for use now and later.

Reviews
Life Drawing is very relatable to current student interests. It is comprehensive and I like the exercises. I find that the examples relate to images I already use. That is wonderful! --Kristofer Neely, Wofford College The combined textbook-and-sketchbook approach helps reinforce the authors' points. I appreciate how Life Drawing discusses the theoretical notions about drawing the figure. Time-based considerations are an added bonus. --Richard Moninski, University of Wisconsin-Platteville
