Review: and he easily moved into my list of top 2 modern fantasy ... - I became familiar with the work of Patrick j. Jones a few years ago, and he easily moved into my list of top 2 modern fantasy illustrators, his work is a beautiful combination of mood, atmosphere, and outstanding technical ability. Being an art student myself i always wanted learn as much as i could from his work, so initially i would scour the internet for anything i could find on his process his website offers a wide variety of tutorials, but i was elated to learn Patrick J. Jones would be publishing a book on painting titled Oil Painting Techniques (which i also highly recommend) but i also hoped for a book on figure drawing as well, low and behold this awesome tome has arrived. This book is the answer to any illustrator who needs to learn to strengthen their concept of working with the figure, while helping the artist find their own voice. The Anatomy of Style perfectly blends the fundamentals of anatomy, while showing artist how learning the basics of anatomy allows you more freedom to express yourself artistically. Many anatomy books, or books on traditional figure drawing are either confusing or do not deal with style or expression Do not misunderstand however, this book does not skip out on the details or wealth of knowledge what so ever, the author is just far more clear and concise at delivering the information most important to learn. The Anatomy Of Style: Figure Drawing covers supplies, anatomy, short and long pose gesture drawing, and how to make the most standard figure drawing pose ooze expression. I highly recommend this book it is a modern day requirement for artist. buy it, read it, copy it, then apply it!
Review: Informative and insightful book on human figure drawing - The Anatomy of Style by Patrick J Jones is a book for beginners learning to draw the human figure. This book is a collection of tips and techniques that he wished he had learned years ago. The content comes from his 15 years of experience as an artist and also from the art classes he teaches. This 160-page paperback has several chapters. The first chapter talks about the foundation of understanding anatomy. Here it has a lot of pointers in regards to specific landmarks on the human figure to look out for when you're drawing. There are tips to help you understand the form and structure, for the whole human figure and also in detail for each feature of the head. The other chapters covers poses and gestures, such as the use of contrapposto (aka counterpoise), how to make your figures more lively and less rigid, how to tackle life figure drawings with detail or with limited time, finding your own style, and using what you've learned to draw from imagination. There are many wonderful illustrated examples with notes, several step by step drawings with explanation. I find the instructions very insightful and the book definitely warrant repeated readings. When I went through the book, I was reminded of other anatomy books, such as Drawing the Living Figure , Figure Drawing: Design and Invention , Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators , Anatomy for Artists: A New Approach to Discovering, Learning and Remembering the Body and some others. If you're an experienced artist, then perhaps you'll already know much of what's taught because the target audience for this book is for beginners. As a standalone book, the subject coverage is great. Overall, it's a very informative and helpful book on human figure drawing. Highly recommended. (See more pictures of the book on my blog.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patrick Jones' draws like an 'old master'
*by P***L on May 24, 2017*

Patrick Jones' draws like an 'old master', but his approach to life drawing is the opposite of what the modern atelier movement likes to characterise as the 'classical techniques of the old masters'. If you look at the best drawings of old masters like Raphael and Michelangelo or Leonardo, they used the same structure+gesture method that Patrick explains here so well. They didn't painstakingly measure what they were looking at, they eyeballed it, and then they made choices about what they wanted to keep and what they could ignore, what they needed to minimise, and what they wanted to emphasise. Patrick isn't presumptious enough to claim an equivalence with those artists, but he could, because his art is underpinned by the same deep understanding of human anatomy, coupled with knowledge that emerges from a careful observation of what happens to all the components of the body as it moves. The modern atelier movement offers techniques that strive towards a photographic accuracy, but Patrick Jones isn't constrained by that tired mechanical idea, he is only interested in practical techniques that help the artist to produce better art. "If it looks right, it's right, even if it's wrong, and if it looks wrong, it's wrong, even if it's right", he says. This is a very refreshing idea, and liberating to artists who are more interested in artistic expression than in faithful reproduction. Highly recommended.
