About This Book
Designed primarily for beginning artists, this excellent reference combines the precise results of the photographed figure with progressive drawings by a noted figure-drawing teacher whose works on anatomy have become classic references for art students.
The well-illustrated manual provides painters, illustrators, and sculptors with invaluable instructions on rendering the intricacies of the female figure. George Bridgman's use of photographs and his drawings provide beginning artists with a suitable alternative to the use of costly live models for drawing exercises and studies in musculature and light.

So many volumes are typographically and artistically engaging, but with that perfection of beauty their purpose appears to end. Most of them are collected from diverse sources (and therefore lack uniformity of creation) and are usually without preconceived purpose or unity of contents. For the most part, their very beauty precludes any utilitarian features.
This is especially true of photographic compilations. While many more of the books limited to graphic depictions have a basic idea for their conception, they are sadly lacking in authentic life and vitality. It has been our aim, and hope, to ideally combine the sharp reality of a photograph and the illuminating and helpful fragments of a drawing and thus produce a volume that will have captured the outstanding features of both arts.
This collection is dedicated primarily to the beginner and the student who must learn to work from a living model, yet cannot afford the mounting expense of retaining one for daily use.
Every successful artist has spent the greater portion of his creative years working fr...
