Richly illustrated and interactive in its approach, Life Drawing: A Sketch and Textbook is an innovative, dual-use textbook/sketchbook, combining technical instruction with the space to actually execute the lessons. Its unique format alternates between education and practice-a critical balance in studio-art courses. Concise instructions are supported by a wide assortment of examples that clearly address the basics of drawing the human figure and the application of life drawing skills in a variety of fields, including animation and the web. Ample blank space throughout the text gives students the opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned, creating a journal of drawings, ideas, and notes right in their text, for use now and later.
Margaret Lazzari is Professor of Art at the University of Southern California's Roski School of Art and Design.
Dona Schlesier is Professor Emerita of Art at Divine Word College in Epworth, Iowa.
Douglas Schlesier (1942-2016) was Professor Emeritus of Art and Director of the Quigley Gallery at Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa.
"Life Drawing is very relatable to current student interests. It is comprehensive and I like the exercises. I find that the examples relate to images I already use. That is wonderful!" --Kristofer Neely, Wofford College
"The combined textbook-and-sketchbook approach helps reinforce the authors' points. I appreciate how Life Drawing discusses the theoretical notions about drawing the figure. Time-based considerations are an added bonus." --Richard Moninski, University of Wisconsin-Platteville
