Read reviews and buy Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters - 45th Edition by Robert Beverly Hale (Paperback) at Target. It represents the other traditional approach to figure drawing. Also get Tony Ryder's book entitled "The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing". ![]() If you cannot afford the tapes, at least get this book! You will not find a better investment but you must also make the effort! A valid observation from his lectures: 'You can not draw a form, if you don't know it exists.' If you want to draw figures that will impress other artists, clients with medical training or other sophisticated viewers, then master the lessons in this book! I believe Tony Ryder may have attended Robert Hale's lectures at the Art Student's League. You may never find better instruction on artistic anatomy and drawing the human form! He was without doubt the greatest instructor of this subject! The tapes are almost like attending his classes! You must draw from life as well as study this material to master the subject. ![]() The book and tapes record the lectures given by Robert Beverly Hale at the Art Student's League in NYC.
