Aktzeichnen – gewusst wie! Nicht nur für Hobbymaler, sondern auch – und gerade – für Künstler aller Epochen ist die menschliche Figur das faszinierendste und wohl anspruchsvollste Thema. Wendon Blake vermittelt deshalb Anfängern wie auch bereits erfahrenen Zeichnern Schritt für Schritt alle Techniken, auf die es beim Aktzeichnen ankommt. • Unverzichtbare Proportionsregeln bei männlichen und weiblichen Akten • Zehn Bildbeispiele mit detaillierten Step-by-Step-Erklärungen • Akte in unterschiedlichen Posen und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven

Die wichtigsten Elemente werden vermittelt: eine Skizze konstruieren, die Proportionen erfassen, den Blick für das Wesentliche schärfen.
