"The clothed figure is a fascinating subject for beginner and experienced artist alike. While the human body offers a physical and psychological point of interes. t, the clad figure gives even further scope with which to tell a story. As well as enhancing or stressing a particular body posture or movement, clothes can be used to portray an individuality of character, convey external elements, or be enjoyed. i n purely decorative terms in the form of shape, pattern, texture and colour. Working from the naked body through to the draped and attired model, this book is essential because it focuses uniquely on the figure and cloth while addressing the pra. c ti calities of using various drawing and painting techniques to transfer what you see onto the two-dimensional surface. Achieve correct proportion through measurement; Increase knowledge of body form; Draw the draped figure using line and tone wi. th mi xed media; Use mark-making to describe fabric both in texture and in colour; Paint clothes and figures using varied painting methods; Develop individual expression and visual language."
