Bridgman drawing from life pdf free download

In the process of drawing, this may become a moving line, or a moving plane, or a moving mass. The line, in actual construction, must come first; but as mental construction must precede physical, so the concept of mass must come first, that of plane second, that of line last. Masses of about the same size or proportion are conceived not as masses, but as one mass; those of different proportions, in respect to their movement, are conceived as wedging into each other, or as morticed or interlocking.

Bridgman had a long and illustrious career as a teacher of anatomy and figure drawing at the Art Students League of New York. In "Bridgman's Life Drawing" we find the synthesis of his technique on how to draw the human figure. Bridgman instructs that students must first gain a sense of the movement of the human form by understanding the underlying structure. From this the realistic portrayal of the human figure can be done by building up the form with consideration of light and shadow.

Bridgman in turn breaks down the different parts of the anatomy to create a complete instruction manual on life drawing. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper. A well-known artist and teacher, George B. Bridgman, directed the jury that selected the best figure drawings.

Afterward, Bridgman assembled this splendid gallery of the best images from the competition. Intermediate-level students will benefit from the study of these complete and detailed drawings.
