>>5975943>>5977100>>5978616>>5978401Okay let's try to make a list that makes sense, instead of whatever you guys are doing.
>1. The Art and Science of DrawingThis needs to start with an actual beginner book that does more than a single thing. Keeping up motivation is important, and variety helps. This is in my opinion the best beginner book now. Mogs leftside and keys.
>2. Perspective Made EasyCan go to this after the above, it's a good list of exercises and at this point the person trying to complete these would have an idea why they want to learn perspective properly.
>3. Charles Bargue Drawing CourseAt this point a lot of people still have a lot of trouble with proportions, and inability to understand light properly. This will grind that into anyone, provided they actually copy all the plates and aren't afraid to re-do ones after checking for accuracy.
>4. Dynamic BibleOnce you have a good sense of proportions in 2D, you can move to 3D. This will give you a good sense of volume and contour, and start you towards constructive drawing. It also has a number of repeatable exercises for things like clean lines, which students might be struggling still.
I think the above are needed before doing figure drawing studies. They give you the basic tools to comprehend the following.
>5. Figure Drawing for All It's Worth>6. Figure Drawing for Artists: Making Every Mark Count>7. Figure Drawing: Design and InventionThis will take time, which is why there's 3 books on the subject. At this point the student should be ready to deal with, as they can properly assess the proportions (learned from Bargue) and volume (learned from Dynamic Bible). This will make proper observational figure drawing and manneguinization possible. Up to this point, their figures would've been stiff and nonappealing, and these books will fix that and further hone their understanding of the human body.
