New Drawings: 'Turning Within I & II'

"I create from within. The Figure is a portrayal of a search that start inside and ends, if it ever does, deeper inward. Since I dislike the long monologues, I create a companion to whom I can talk. This dialogue can be very real sometimes" -Vladan Ignatovic

The Art Model's Handbook

Recently when Andrew, a model friend of mine contacted me in regards to a figure modeling guide he is writing, I immediately knew it was a great idea. There are so many aspiring models out there that I talk to on a daily basis and the same questions always come up; 'where do I start, what should I do, not do….' ? 

In The Art Model's Handbook I think Andrew, an experienced life and photography model, really captured a lot of topics essential to both models, artists, art teachers and everyone involved in figurative art.

Models play such a crucial part of any figurative artist’s work and with no real training out there, this book is definitely long overdue. Available from
Amazon


Best of luck, Andrew!
