Jones Figures from Life: Drawing with Style at Amazon for £15.98Īrtist and teacher Patrick J Jones began honing his creative skills at just 17, and now, over 30 years later, he shares his experience and knowledge in this tutorial-style book: Figures From Life: Drawing With Style. Overall this is an excellent, highly affordable resource that will go a long way to helping you draw realistic-looking hands and feet. You have to get past quite a lengthy, somewhat indulgent introduction and personal history initially, but both provide insight into the author’s extensive experience and obvious passion for life drawing, which can only be a good thing. The written theory is just as comprehensive, with the first 30 pages of the book featuring easy-to-read and helpfully illustrated advice on the best materials to use, backdrops and lighting, and the bone and muscle structure of the hand and foot.
The practical elements come in the form of step-by-step guides, which are arguably some of the most informative anatomy breakdowns we’ve ever seen, due largely in part to the detailed illustrations clearly depicting each step. Thoughtful and clever in its approach, this guide is formatted in a way that lends itself well to novices and more advanced illustrators alike.
