Sinopse

Gesture Drawing explores the vital skill of capturing movement and energy in art through quick, expressive sketches. It emphasizes understanding the underlying forces animating a subject, rather than just replicating a pose, making it a key technique in art and animation.

 
The book highlights the importance of the "line of action" to convey flow, simplifying forms to quickly capture poses, and analyzing weight distribution for balanced figures.

 
The book approaches instruction by blending historical context with practical exercises, guiding readers from core principles to applying gesture drawing to figures, animals, and objects in motion. Visual examples from both historical masters and contemporary artists are used to break down complex poses.

 
Chapters progressively build upon each other, starting with fundamental techniques and culminating in applications across diverse artistic fields, like character design.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes intuition and feeling in the drawing process, encouraging artists to move beyond copying and capture the essence of their subjects. It is a valuable resource for art students, animators, and illustrators seeking to imbue their work with dynamism and expressive qualities.

Movies under the Influence

Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece

Movies under the Influence charts the entangled histories of moviegoing and mind-altering substances from early cinema through the psychedelic 1970s. Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece examines how the parallel trajectories of these two aspects of American culture resulted in them being treated and regulated in similar ways. Rather than looking at drug use within film, she regards cinema and intoxicants as kindred experiences of immersion that have been subject to corresponding forces of ideology and power. 
 
 
 
Szczepaniak-Gillece demonstrates how American movie theaters sought to cultivate a dual identity, presenting themselves as both a place of wholesome entertainment and a zone of illicit behavior. Movies under the Influence highlights the legislative, legal, and corporate powers that held sway over theaters, locating the convergence of moviegoing and drug use as a site of mediation and social control. 
 
 
 
As much as substances and cinema are points where power intervenes, they are also settings of potential transcendence, and Movies under the Influence maintains this paradox as a necessary component of American film history. This book examines the relationship intoxicants suggest between mass media, spectatorship, and governmental regulation and provides a new angle from which to understand cinema's lasting role in evolving American culture.

Our Vampires Ourselves

Nina Auerbach

Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the vampire it deserves. Working with a wide range of texts, as well as movies and television, Auerbach locates vampires at the heart of our national experience and uses them as a lens for viewing the last two hundred years of Anglo-American cultural history.“[Auerbach] has seen more Hammer movies than I (or the monsters) have had steaming hot diners, encountered more bloodsuckers than you could shake a stick at, even a pair of crossed sticks, such as might deter a very sophisticated ogre, a hick from the Moldavian boonies....Auerbach has dissected and deconstructed them with the tender ruthlessness of a hungry chef, with cogency and wit.”—Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement”This seductive work offers profound insights into many of the urgent concerns of our time and forces us to confront the serious meanings that we invest, and seek, in even the shadiest manifestations of the eroticism of death.”—Wendy Doniger, The Nation”A vigorous, witty look at the undead as cultural icons.”—Kirkus Review”In case anyone should think this book is merely a boring lit-crit exposition...Auerbach sets matters straight in her very first paragraph. ’What vampires are in any given generation,’ she writes, ’is a part of what I am and what my times have become. This book is a history of Anglo-American culture through its mutating vampires.’...Her book really takes off.”—Maureen Duffy, New York Times Book Review
