Each instructor walks you through their philosophy for croquis sketching. Croquis sketches are quickly-rendered drawings that capture the essentials of a subject's form and pose with relatively few expressive lines. There are four levels of sketching described in the book: 1-minute croquis: very rapid gesture drawings that capture only the artist's impressions of the form, and where the pencil stays in contact with the paper for practically the entire session 2-minute croquis: another quick sketch, but with more attention paid to the character and rhythm of the lines and how they help to express the essence of the form 5-minute croquis: a more finished drawing where added tonal variations suggest volume and anatomical details 10-minute croquis: more of a finished drawing than true croquis, the longer session allows the luxury of adding fine details such as the facial expression, the character of the hands and clothing texture Learn to sketch the following: Individual body parts (including faces) and their bone structure and muscles Standing and sitting poses Nudes and clothed figures Light and dark tonal variations Dynamic poses Color drawings You'll quickly hone your sketching skills with this life-drawing classroom-in-a-book. The expert advice and observations, dozens of poses to study, as well as easy-to-understand notes and tips make it easy to understand how the skeleton, muscles and posture all come together to express the uniquely female form. Review: Competent drafting. - Enjoyed the insights from these three artists! Volume, proportion, presence, structure, nice balance of “loose/tight” qualities belonging to good drawings. Review: Great collection of gesture drawings from Japanese master illustrators - A collection of female figures from Japanese illustrators with very different styles. It is not really a "course" despite the step-by-step instructions provided since these are all so skillfully drawn B&W illustrations that you should not expect to reproduce them by just following the steps. Copying them over and over is the best way to imitate and emulate their style. Good reference for self study for gesture drawing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #187,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Drawing Specific Objects #160 in Figure Drawing Guides #168 in Pencil Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 94 Reviews | ## Images ![Sketching Women: Learn to Draw Lifelike Female Figures, A Complete Course for... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XMOBw6AGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Competent drafting. *by W***T on September 26, 2025* Enjoyed the insights from these three artists!
