Figure Drawing Atelier offers a comprehensive, contemporary twist to the very traditional Atelier approach to the methods that instruct artists on the techniques they need to successfully draw and ultimately paint the figure.

The book offers art instruction, practical and progressive lessons on drawing the figure, and high-quality, sketchbook paper in a beautiful package that includes blank pages for sketching and copying. Artists will then have a record of their process, like with a sketchbook, which many artists like to document and save.

In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and author Juliette Aristides breaks down the figure drawing process into small, manageable lessons; presents them progressively; introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible; and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings.

Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn to master figure drawing. Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time -- and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. 

Figure Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book -- and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realistic figure drawing and painting, taking students to step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, this book offers a serious art course for serious art students.

She studied at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and various private ateliers. She is currently the instructor of the Aristides Classical Atelier at the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, Washington. In 2003, Juliette was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant.

Mastering the rules of figure drawing as well as stylistic techniques that add individuality and flair to the design is an essential skill for all designers and illustrators. In its approach, this book is ideal both for those designers and students who want to apply themselves professionally to fashion design and for all enthusiasts of drawing the female body in a fashion context.

Figure It Out! Drawing Essential Poses, the third book in bestselling author Christopher Hart's successful Figure It Out! series, shows artists how to overcome common challenges in drawing the human figure by transforming standard, stiff figure drawings with natural-looking poses for a more realistic effect. Starting with basic "Foundation Figures," Chris shows how to change an arm here or move a leg there to gradually achieve a more interesting, believable form. Through guided drawings highlighted with color to pinpoint key concepts, artists will learn how to easily create poses that are not only essential but also practical. Eschewing esoteric "art poses" that are often found in figure-drawing books, the focus here is on the gestures of real people from a variety of angles and positions such as standing, sitting, kneeling, reclining, arms folded, ankles crossed, hands on hips, and so much more. Deeper concepts such as perspective, illusion of depth, casting shadows, and foreshortening are also covered, along with step-by-step tutorials that will take artists through complete, naturally-posed figure drawings from start to finish. With a solid foundation in fundamentals combined with detailed instruction in more advanced techniques, artists of varied skill levels will have everything they need to master the art of drawing a realistic human form in any pose.

The most comprehensive showcase ever published of Azuma Makoto’s astonishing flower art and botanical sculpture

The art of Makoto Azuma uses flowers and plants as its starting point, but juxtaposes their timeless yet transient beauty with an incredibly diverse range of striking settings. In a series of sculptures, installations and interactive events, he delights in blurring the boundaries between nature and artifice.

Azuma founded the floral atelier Jardins des Fleurs in 2002, taking commissions from private clients as well as brands and corporations, both in Japan and all over the world. His parallel career as an artist began in 2005 and involves creating and exhibiting artworks that turn flowers and plants into a medium for self-expression. In 2008, Azuma founded AMKK (Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo), a group specializing in experimental floral creation, with the aim of seeking new forms of botanical beauty and new ways to exhibit them. His works have travelled the globe, from barren deserts to frozen expanses, from thousands of feet below the sea to the very edge of space. Featuring more than sixty projects captured in breathtaking photography, this beautiful book is the most comprehensive showcase of Azuma’s art ever published.
