Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life

21 reviews
George B. Bridgman

Gramercy, 1992

One of my Top 3 Bridgman books- great in drawing from memory...
Mainly for intermediate-level artists- I *might* have to pick this as my #1 Bridgman book. It has a little bit of *everything* depicting figure construction from memory. It's also great for general improvement; a few tips & tricks- an indispensable reference for all working artists. And Bridgman appeals to a *very* wide-ranging audience: fine & commercial artists; illustrators; comicbook ...

George B. Bridgman

Dover Publications, 1971

One of my Top 3 Bridgman books- great in drawing from memory...
Mainly for intermediate-level artists- it's actually *GREAT* for enthusiastic beginners. It has a little bit of *everything* depicting hand construction from memory. It's also great for general improvement; a few tips & tricks- an *excellent* reference for all working artists. The genius of Bridgman, at least for me, is mainly in his construction of heads & hands. The genius in Bridgman is that ...

Drawing the Draped Figure

George B. Bridgman

Dover Publications, 2001

OK, but not great
Bridgeman is an indispensable teacher of human anatomy (even though he worked in the early 20th century), but this isn't the best book out there. The drawings are too loose and sketchy to see clearly what he is describing. He goes through the seven typs of folds all right, but they need to be illustrated more three dimensionally. I'd choose this over Hogarth's book, though, because Bridgeman's ...

Heads, Features and Faces
This book is very helpful - there are basic instructions and rules to apply to drawing the head, specific features of the head and the face. The information contained within is very valuable, plus the visual images are exceptionally instructive to the student of portraiture.Heads, Features and Faces

Bridgman's Life Drawing

George B. Bridgman

Dover Publications, 1971

Never Equaled
This was the second drawing book I'd ever bought, after Buscema's "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" -- which is where I first stumbled across Bridgeman's name. Buscema's book, which is fine for beginners, did well to point toward Bridgeman, for further study. Bridgeman's books are a wealth of information on classical drawing, giving the student an understanding of the mechanics of the ...

George B. Bridgman

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2008

One of my Top 3 Bridgman books- great in drawing from memory...
Mainly for intermediate-level artists- it's actually *GREAT* for enthusiastic beginners. It has a little bit of *everything* depicting anatomy construction from memory. It's also great for general improvement; a few tips & tricks- an *excellent* reference for all working artists. This is the book that really turned me on to the genius that is Bridgman. At first glance it may not be immediately ...

The Human Machine

12 reviews
George B. Bridgman

Dover Publications, 1972

Genius conception-- sketchy implementation
Maybe 3-1/2 stars. (Idea & Layout= 5 stars. Drawing quality= 2 stars.) Bridgman's The Human Machine is *exceedingly* ambitious in its scope, and could have been exceedingly successful to match, were it not for its *one* pretty obviously glaring problem: these drawings are exceedingly sketchy! Originally published in 1939, Bridgman passed away in 1943. He was approximately 75 when he made ...

Drawing the Female Form

George B. Bridgman, Ben Pinchot

Dover Publications, 2005

This is an OK book
Actually I bought this book to my husband, he is a great illustrator and comics artist, he likes to buy this kind of book looking for new ways of drawing the human body... He got two or three new things from this one, what is a good sign... Well, no complains at all. It made us buy the "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life".
