>anatomy
Hogarth. When you get to next level in anatomy knowledge, you'll be able to appreciate him. Only novices talk down his work.
>perspective
Scott Robertson, no question
>head drawing
Loomis
>figure drawing
LOOMIS
>composition
Marcos Mateu-Mestre (the guy that made "Framed Ink"), also Loomis
>draftsmanship
Loomis
>color and light
James Gurney
>drapery
None, you understand this best through studies. Though I guess Hogarth has a book specially for this.

My grandmother gave me an art book before she past away. Nicolaides The natural way to draw. It includes everything he teaches in his class. Very very helpful book if you're willing to put time and effort in it.

"Boys, a queer thing happened to me after I left the class last Tuesday. There was a coal wagon backed up onto the sidewalk on 48th street shooting coal into a cellar. As I passed by a fellow stuck his head, all begrimed with coal, out of the cellar and said "hello Mr. Bridgman." I said, "why hello there who are you?" Oh, the fellow said, don't you remember me? I was number one in your class last year.... The story varied; sometimes it was an iceman or a voice from a manhole."

Shieet. Bridgman the original NGMI poster

Oh shit it's not last week anymore I guess we have to go from shitting on Bridgman to liking him again.

Oh well, maybe next week!

I've tried lots of anatomy books but I suck ass so they're all the same to me

I can say with confidence though, that How to Draw by Scott Robertson is one of the best Perspective books.

> "Don't think color's going to do you any good. Or lovely compositions. You can't paint a house until it's built." His students adored him and vied for his approval.
Was he right? Also how the hell are they all so good just as students?

>My father studied with Bridgeman. I recall Dad telling me the story of a fellow student who covered a model's foot with a shrub because he was having trouble drawing it. Bridgeman told him he should have covered the other foot as well.
