Review
"an authoritative and useful book with a range of expert tips, pointers and advice that will help your figure drawing" - Paint & Draw"Steve Huston is a living master, and one of the few who can teach as well as he paints. He's both a mentor and an inspiration to a new generation of professional artists around the world." - Joshua Jacobo, Cofounder and CEO,New Masters Academy€‹"Steve Huston is one of the most uniquely powerful artists out there . . . a modern master. [Figure Drawing for Artists] is a phenomenal resource. Steve's insight and love for what he does inspires. This book should be in every student's library. That being said, it's for every artist - students and professionals alike." - Carlos Huante, Art Director, Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm"Steve Huston's new instruction book, FIGURE DRAWING FOR ARTISTS, has been long over due and something I have personally waited for. A consummate draftsman, brilliant painter and one of the most knowledgeable artist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing has made this valuable book available for anyone who is truly interested in understanding the principals of drawing. This book will be the yardstick that all other instructional drawing books are measured by." - Dan McCaw, Fine Artist"Finally a book that emphasises gesture and rhythm first and foremost. I think the book is weighted just right for making it clear to the current photo copyist culture, and the overly medicalized anatomy culture, that gesture, rhythm, and playful, designed proportion are by far the most important initial visual ideas. Not only for the figure, but for entire images." - Erik Olsen, faculty at College of Creative Studies, Detroit

A difficult presentation is still worth the effort. My drawings have jumped in dimension after studying this book. I have applied the big ideas of gesture, tube structure and the two value system. These three ideas have moved my drawings into more dynamic three dimensional images. My use of core shadow separating the light and dark planes has increased the depth in my drawings. This one new skill is worth the price of the book.I have also applied a number of observations such as the "whistle notch", a method of noting the eye socket from the side and 3/4 back position. I now also use the "sail" head schema for the layout of the head for side views. This head layout is the most direct that I have seen and has the advantage of easily providing a correct placement of the ear. (Michael Hampton's "Figure Drawing Design and Invention" has another useful schema for drawing the head.)Unfortunately reading this text is frustrating. The book needed a strong editor. Many of the examples seem obscure because they are difficult to connect with the drawings. Moreover, most of the diagrams are apparently made on a computer screen, give the effect of following a mathematical proof while the text itself is colloquial and seems to have been recorded from a live lecture. Terms such as "wiggly digits" p.158 and "wobbly surface variations" p. 39 are among those not explained. The frequent use of pronouns such as "this" make the presentation hard to follow. Editing would have replaced these pronouns with nouns improving reader comprehension.Frequently the labels on the drawings are difficult to connect with the text. In one place the labels are completely left out of the diagram. On page 178 the letters mentioned in the text do not label the drawing making the discussion very hard to follow. Other times the discussion is not followed by a summation drawing. For example, the presentation of perspective of the human form p. 59-65 goes on for seven pages of careful description and diagrams but the summation drawing is of a giant Roman column not of a human figure.A figure similar as the one at the very beginning of the discussion of perspective, page 62, could have been used as a summation drawing for the section. A figure drawn with wrapping lines would have shown the depth that he was describing making it clear to the reader how to apply the theory to an actual figure drawing. At key points such this he misses the obviously necessary explanation.The book is worth studying because it presents some drawing ideas that I have not found anywhere else. How disappointing that the lack of strong editing makes important ideas unclear.
What am I missing? I am a big fan of Steve Huston the artist and instructor. I have seen his videos, which are very thorough and detailed. I admire his skill. The book was a let down. It didn't seem to surpass other books on the market and in some ways, fell short of them.There is less instruction than I hoped. Much of the text needs a re write for clarity as well as some additions for depth. The pictures don't clearly support the text, at least not easily. The authors fabulous sketches aren't even here in abundance, and while it isn't a show off book, if the instruction is lacking, which I believe it is, then at least give us more eye candy or material to copy.This is much more like a fancy set of notes for those who have studied with Steve Huston or taken his classes.Negative reviews don't make me popular but I have to call it as I see it. It pains me to say it, but I think there are better books out there.So you can get some idea where I am coming from and determine if this review is has relevance to you, some books I really like are Mike Matessi's Drawing Force and The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals, Rankin's Fast Sketching Techniques, and Mellem's Sketching People.
I nearly returned this book. I am an experienced illustrator and I was really hoping to see more of his work and gain an insight into his style. As a general figure drawing book, it is okay at best. It feels very rushed and he doesn't go into his particular technique, he talks very generally about drawing a a figure. I thought even if I didn't learn much about his style it would work as an art book of some sort, but there is little anatomy and not very many of the drawings you see on the cover. I think he had some success on Pinterest and other sites and pumped out a book very quickly. I would gladly buy a book of his art before I would buy this book. Other informative and beautiful books I recommend over this one:Harley Brown's Eternal Truths for Every ArtistPortaites From Life in 29 StepsDrawing Beautiful Women,the Frank Cho MethodAnatomy for Artists DK
Mr. Huston has clarity of vision and is able to communicate easily the foundational concepts of this subject. This book is an important volume that contributes his experience to the long lineage of artistic evolution. I highly recommend this book for all students and working professionals of art.
I really love this book. Currently I am being taught this method by one of the author's former students. The Method is very helpful and I have seen huge improvement in my work. I would strongly recommend this book to other artists, as it is a fantastic reference.
This is probably the most concise treatise on figure drawing that I've come across, and teaches a direct and simple method for approaching the subject. It conveys the key concepts without bogging down the reader with extra specific anatomical information and focuses on structural Easy read with some great exercises. I had only hoped to see more of Steve's personal work in this book, but the information distilled within these pages is gold
A fantastic addition to any artist library. Steve wisdom goes way beyond on how to draw, his view on art and life is captivating. A must have book!
I had high hopes for this book. Well known amazing artist and good reviews. The drawings are nice, and I guess the writing is interesting in a way, but I found it often difficult to understand what he's trying to convey. I was hoping for techniques and tips, but perhaps my drawing is just not advanced enough to grasp what Mr Huston is trying to teach. I'm sure it's a great book if you've been to his classes and already know how to draw.
