Drawing from Photos: Problem Solving and Interpretation When Figure Drawing

In the follow up to his popular figure drawing books, The Anatomy of Style and Figures from Life, comes Drawing from Photos, Patrick’s latest volume of step-by-step drawing techniques.

In this volume, Patrick explores the art of drawing from photos and the minefield of unseen problems such as distortion, tangents, and shallow depth. Each step-by-step includes a model posing to refer to as you draw along, recreating a virtual workshop from Patrick’s eye view as he shares his methods, insights and interpretations to produce drawings with style and confidence.

For sheer depth of writing and information, no artist, art lover, or student should be without his latest volume on their bookshelves.

Patrick J. Jones is the author of the drawing book The Anatomy of Style and has recently released a collection of his work in hardback, The Sci-fi & Fantasy Art of Patrick J. Jones. He has worked for most major SF & Fantasy publishers and film companies worldwide and teaches a masterclass in figure drawing in his adopted homeland, Brisbane, Australia.
