George Brant Bridgman · 1952
A technical guide to figure drawing that emphasizes the structural mechanics of the human body.
Frank Miller recommends it because the author treats the body like a machine, making it easier to understand.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“George Bridgman. George Bridgman. Yeah. Okay. There's no E in it in Bridgman. There is an E in George, and it's the complete guide to drawing from life.”
Why: He treats the body like a machine, so it's easier to understand.
