Fabulous Figures

Start with a heart – and create beautiful, in-proportion people! Aspiring artists who feel intimidated at drawing figures will love Jane Davenport’s amazingly easy technique, developed while she worked as a fashion illustrator. It involves using equal-size hearts to build the body’s structure – and the results are astounding. Jane lays out the basics and walks you through working with different mediums: drawing the head, face, clothing, hair and features; and constructing figures inspired by fashion, fantasy, life drawing and more.
