JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT WORKSHOP

An increasingly popular yet age-old art form, Japanese woodblock

printing is embraced for its non-toxic character, use of handmade
materials, and easy integration with other printmaking techniques.
In this comprehensive guide, artist and printmaker April Vollmer
one of the best known Japanese woodblock printing practitioners
and instructors in the Westcombines her deep knowledge of
the historic printmaking practice with expert instruction and
presents a collection of diverse and gorgeous prints by leading
contemporary artists in the medium, as well as her own work.
At once practical and inspirational, this handbook is as useful
to serious printmakers and artists as it is to creative types who
are drawn to Japanese history and aesthetics and are looking to
experiment in other media.

Vollmer

An inspirational how-to course on Japanese

woodblock printing (mokuhanga), with
guidance on materials and studio practices,

Draw the Human Figure

Anywhere, Anytime

creators, animators, video game artists, concept

designers, etc.being able to quickly draw the
human figure in a variety of action-packed poses is
a requirement. But they dont always have models
or photographic reference to use for figure drawing.
In Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators, artist and
instructor David H. Ross provides an alternative
solution, showing readers how they can master
freehand figure drawing without visual reference
by using a modern twist on the classic technique of
blocking out the human figure in mannequin form.
Step-by-step lessons guide aspiring illustrators
from basic poses (standing, running, jumping) to
extreme motions (throwing punches, high kicking).
For on-the-go artists, Freehand Figure Drawing for
Illustrators allows them complete freedom to bring
their figures to life at any time.
DAVID H. ROSS is an illustrator who has worked with all
of the major North American comic book publishers including
WATSON GUPTILL PUBLICATIONS
