Descripción
In the book "Constructive Anatomy", Bridgman develops and teaches his method for drawing the human figure using "boxes".
The eye perceives contours, planes, and volumes. Bridgman argues that in drawing, the line comes first. But before drawing, a mental construction precedes it where the concept of volume comes first, then the plane, and finally the line. The different parts of the body can be abstracted into simple geometric forms. To better understand volumes, movement, and light, Bridgman recommends using cubic or wedge shapes, instead of rounded or cylindrical forms. In articulated parts, each one connects with the next like hooks, wedges, or gears. Do you want to learn to draw the human figure correctly? This book gives you all the basic elements to achieve a solid construction, through the understanding of body volumes and the geometrization of anatomy. The simple act of copying the beautiful illustrations in this book will make you a better draftsman.
Constructive Anatomy is a book for anyone who wants to improve their anatomical drawing and an essential reference for teachers and professional draftsmen.
It contains hundreds of drawings covering the bone and muscle structure: head, hands, arms, torso, and legs analyzed in detail. A direct and effective approach, treated with simplicity and enthusiasm.
