| Publisher Description: The Book of a Hundred Hands is exactly what it sounds like. With this delightful little book George Bridgman has handed the world's artists a remarkable resource. As he points out, the human hand has a tremendous capacity for expression, and the attentive artist takes advantage of this potential to imbue their work with detail and meaning. After all, we can tell a lot about a person from their hands: everything from a subject's age and gender, to their psychological and emotional states, and even occupation. With 100 carefully-selected illustrations that clearly identify the regions of the hand in a variety of positions, The Book of a Hundred Hands is the perfect workbook and reference for any artist, beginning or experienced. Whether you read it as a textbook or pull it from your shelf for inspiration when you're stumped on a particular hand-rendering problem, this book is a worthy addition to any artist's library. The lessons it contains are sure to elevate your human figures to new levels of expression and detail. Readers interested in related titles from George B.
