We wit show in this book that drawing the human body need not be so difficult. Sorting from a simple base and applying a series of tricks and techniques, the reader will find himself able to adequately render a nude figure. The nude is to be considered an ideal model for a full study of forms and light. For this reason, when drawing a nude body, it is important to study the model's anatomy, and also the lighting, because lighting plays a role in making the sense of depth and relief more or less prominent.

Practicing this kind of drawing sharpens visual perception at the same time that it exercises our ability to depict forms. The human figure is a highly suggestive and evocative subject, which can be approached km many different perspectives and individual styles without diluting its essence. From an academic point of view, drawing the nude is the best form of discipline because it forces the artist to pay attention to proportion and teaches the skillful calculation of organically coordinated forms and sizes; from an interpretive point of view, it allows us to give free rein to form and contour.
