Book excerpt: True competence in drawing is an essential skill for anyone in the graphic arts. In this important book, one of America's most distinguished art teachers guides the reader beyond mere surface fluency to a serious understanding and mastery of the basic structural principles common to all forms, human, animal and natural. The clear, straightforward text and schematic diagrams, photographs and drawings show how these forms express perfectly their growth and function. Drawing the human figure is covered in detail, with emphasis on movement, foreshortening and perspective. The structure and interrelationships of body cavity, arms and legs and head are clearly presented with photographs of male and female models and student and master drawings, which are analyzed in detail with diagrams printed in two colors. The dynamic structure of animals is visualized and related to the other subjects. The natural forms of landscape, as well as overall design and composition in nature, are related to other organic structures and illustrated with drawings by students and professionals to indicate the wide range of individual aesthetic responses evoked by the same subject. Basic elements of graphic design -- line, tone, rhythm, movement and value -- are demonstrated in a variety of materials and tools: charcoal, pencil, ink, brush, pen, twigs.

Download or read book The Book of Drawings Sketches written by Chris van Uffelen and published by Braun Publish,Csi. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zaha Hadid Ron Arad Ben Berkel Norman Foster Helmut Jahn With their power of visualization, architectural drawings and sketches are unmatched in their capacity to anticipate the esthetic appearance of a building after its completion. The hand-drawn vision highlights the main features and characteristics of a building, which is overshadowed by the seemingly perfectly realistic approach of a rendering. Despite the nearly unending possibilities of computer-based methods, drawings and sketches remain the most intuitive expression method of architects. The volume combines the most diverse drawing and painting methods, juxtaposing implemented sketches with selected photos of the final result, allowing readers to comprehend the connection between the intention and outcome themselves. After the success of the publication Architectural Visions, which focused on the German-speaking realm, this successor volume is dedicated on the individual handwriting of the most important and influential architects of our time.
