The book aids in seeing the figure as made up of these simple forms, which results in clear understanding of the underlying structure which is easy to cast into memory, and can be applied both in life drawing as well as drawing from imagination.
same is done to study the upper and lower arms, upper and lower legs. The idea of using two glasses (glasses with which we drink water etc.) as the two parts of the body: the upper torso and the pelvis, is amazingly an effective tool, in studying the relationship of these two major forms of the figure. The Figure is analyzed using the basic forms first, to get a sense of proportion, relationships etc. This book is a very clear exposition on the use of constructive approach to drawing the figure. There were no hard and fast rules as to what these basic forms were. to construct any three dimensional figure, including of course the human figure. This resulted in the usage of sphere, box, cylinder etc. Similarly the constructive approach is based somewhat in the lines of geometry, and attempt to reduce all objects and forms to be a composition of a few basic forms. For instance, ideas of perspective, which are analytical and mathematical, were applied to art to create realism. "Classic approach" here simply means the methods that have been handed down from the Masters of the renaissance, where art and science came together.
This is a very easy to use, clear and practical guide to constructing the figure from imagination. Constructive Figure Drawing : Start To Finish
