About the Item
Unique and user-friendly techniques for figure drawing and understanding human anatomy
The third title from bestselling author Robert Osti, Drawing the Body is a highly accessible book that presents an engaging, systematized way to draw the human figure – from static, structural, and anatomical depictions to realistic and expressive forms.
With minimal, essential text, the book is organized as a sketchbook with abundant images and practical exercises throughout. Included are step-by-step demonstrations that feature original illustrations from the author, photography of human figures, as well as art historical references from Old Masters.
This beautiful and utilitarian guide is indispensable and will appeal to artists, art students, and anyone interested in the artistic and scientific depiction of the human figure and human anatomy.

Printed in North Korea The Art of Everyday Life in the DPRK
Located in New York, NY
Never-before-seen North Korea - a rare glimpse into the country behind the politics and the creativity behind the propaganda
This incredible collection of prints dating from the 1950s to the twenty-first century is the only one of its kind in or outside North Korea. Depicting the everyday lives of the country's train conductors, steelworkers, weavers, farmers, scientists, and fishermen, these unique lino-cut and woodblock prints are a fascinating way to explore the culture of this still virtually unknown country. Together, they are an unparalleled testament to the talent of North Korea's artists and the unique social, cultural, and political conditions in which they work.
