The human figure has been inspiring artists for thousands of years, but they keep coming up with original ways to approach this oldest of subjects. In Drawing magazine’s fall 2016 issue we meet several artists who take very different approaches to the figure, using such materials as Conte, powdered graphite and mixed media.
Our featured artists include Yuka Imata, who demonstrates her process; Fred Dalkey, who draws luminous, tonal figures; and Michael Meadors, whose drawings of young women offer a sort of rebuttal to flashy commercial imagery. Other articles are devoted to modeling shadows, the drawings of Jean Dubuffet, using mechanical pencils, and creating focal points for the eye. The full list of articles is below.
