I’ve been a big fan of Henry Yan’s figure drawing work for some time after stumbling across his work on the internet a while back (isn’t that how it’s always done these days?)
He teaches drawing and painting at Academy of Art University in San Francisco and had released a book of his work and teachings titled ‘Henry Yan’s Figure Drawing’, that was sadly out of print at the time I discovered it existed.
But I was ecstatic recently when I found it could now be purchased from him directly through his website so no sooner had I been enlightened by this fact was a copy on its way direct to my door.
Great book rich with drawings that inspire.
Worth a look for anyone who loves expressive charcoal figure work.
