The Gnomon Workshop is pleased to announce the release of "Figure Fundamentals Volume 2: Construction For Perspective and Volume" with Van Arno.

Van Arno's series on drawing the human figure continues in Volume Two with discussions on drawing a male model. The anatomical differences from the female are noted. Poses of action and contortion then lead to a discussion of volumes in three dimensions. Van demonstrates how, with longer poses, the model can be drawn with simple volumes and then redrawn from another angle, without the model present.
