Bridgman's Life DrawingLife Drawing is not so much a unique system of drawing the human form as it is a new way of conceptualizing it. To draw the figure, the artist must "have an idea of what the figure to be drawn is doing" he must "sense the nature and condition of the action, or inaction."

Life Drawing is not so much a unique system of drawing the human form as it is a new way of conceptualizing it. To draw the figure, the artist must "have an idea of what the figure to be drawn is doing" -- he must "sense the nature and condition of the action, or inaction." In this book, Mr. Bridgman, who for nearly 50 years lectured and taught at the Art Students League of New York, explains in non-technical terms and illustrations in hundreds of finely rendered anatomical drawings how best to find the vitalizing forces in human forms and how best to realize them in drawing.
Mr. Bridgman begins by examining movement. After abstracting the main masses of the body -- head, chest, and hips -- into their rough geometrical equivalents, he gives complete instructions for building a simple model which mounts these masses on wire. By manipulating this scale model, the student may observe how these masses move in space and into what relationships such movement brings them.
Once the student understands how the human form moves, the author tackles the actual problems of drawing the human figure in motion. He first covers simple drawing and building of the figure, then balance, rhythm, turning or twisting, wedging, passing and locking, and the more complex relationship of the masses -- distribution, light and shade, mouldings (concave and convex), proportion and how to measure it, and movable masses. From here instruction turns to specific areas of the anatomy; the head and features, including the neck; the torso, front and back views; the abdominal arch; the shoulder girdle; the upper limbs, hands, and fingers; and the lower limbs, thigh and leg, knee, and finally foot. Every point of instruction and principle is illustrated in one of nearly 500 of Mr. Bridgman's own "life" drawings.
There is no student nor serious artist, either amateur or professional, who cannot profit greatly from Bridgman's instruction. Like his famous anatomy course at the Art Students League, it is likely to vitalize your work with the human form.

CHOKING HAZARD
Flavor Name: Bone (S), Size: 6 Count (Pack of 1)
CHOKING HAZARD: I purchased these bones for my small Yorki.. He ate the first two without incident; however, on the third bone he unfortunately choked. As the bones wear down, they become extremely stringy, and those strands do not appear to be digestible. I had to rush my dog to the emergency room, which cost $700. Three days later, he became even sicker because he was unable to pass the remaining portion of the bone still in his stomach. I then had to take him to his regular veterinarian, where he was admitted overnight and diagnosed with pancreatitis and a severely irritated gastrointestinal tract. This entire ordeal cost me over $1,500 in addition to the initial $700 emergency visit. I am grateful that my dog is now alive and well, but these bones pose a serious choking hazard and do not digest properly. I strongly caution other pet owners, especially those with small dogs.

One of the cleanest, most reliable creatine options out there
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 30 Servings (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried quite a few creatine brands over the years, and the Thorne Creatine – Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder is easily one of the highest-quality options I’ve used. What stands out immediately is how clean and simple the formula is—just pure micronized creatine monohydrate with no fillers or additives. Each serving gives you the standard 5g dose, and it’s NSF Certified for Sport, which adds an extra layer of confidence around quality and purity. Mixability is excellent. Because it’s micronized, it dissolves much better than a lot of other creatine powders I’ve tried—no clumping or gritty texture, even in just water. Performance-wise, it does exactly what you want from a creatine: improved strength, better endurance during workouts, and faster recovery between sessions. Creatine monohydrate is also the most well-researched and proven form for performance and muscle gains, which is why I stick with it. Another big plus is that it’s completely unflavored, so it’s easy to mix into anything—protein shakes, pre-workout, or just water—without affecting taste. Overall, this is a no-frills, high-quality creatine that delivers exactly what you expect. If you’re looking for a clean, trusted supplement that just works, this is an easy recommendation.
