The Nude Sketchbook

The ultimate exercise book for any original, training the eye, the hand and the mind.

Copying is how we learn. It is the oldest, grandest tradition and essential to an artist’s development. Featuring 20 masterpieces by Michelangelo, Modigliani, Matisse, and more, The Nude Sketchbook is the first in an innovative new series that combines careful study with independent expression.

Each image is accompanied by helpful prompts from iconic artists, critics, and art historians, with plenty of blank space to practice and explore within the theme. Complete with a brief history of life drawing and an introduction to the draughtsman’s toolkit, this guided sketchbook equips artists with everything they need to develop their style and skills.
