Drawing the Male Nude cover

Giovanni Civardi breaks down the complex process of drawing the male nude, from making rudimentary choices about framing, lighting and the most appropriate drawing tools, to rendering detailed and anatomically accurate artworks.

Civardi’s own masterful drawings provide an excellent touchstone for the artist wanting to explore the depiction of the male body, and his studies of numerous poses cover all aspects of life drawing. Civardi takes a pragmatic, almost scientific, approach to teaching the subject, combining basic physics with artistic interpretation.

Drawing the Male Nude also touches upon the significant anatomical differences between the male and the female form, but these are also covered in some detail in the companion to this title, Drawing the Female Nude.

An introduction to the drawing of the male nude. You'll find numerous poses illustrating all the aspects of drawing nudes. A resource book and collection of drawings. This book includes structure of the human figure and the different methods of representation. It looks at using with different materials and the effect this has upon the look of the finished drawing. It looks at proportion and the difficulties encountered by beginners. The studies are all fairly simplistic line drawings, with a little spontaneity at the end of the book. Similar books have been written by the author, if you do not already have one, this makes a good introduction to drawing the nude.
