Figure drawing and composition : being a number of hints for the student and designer upon the treatment of the human figure by Richard G. Hatton
Richard G. Hatton's 1895 London manual, published by Chapman and Hall, teaches students and designers how to draw the human figure through labelled anatomical sketches. The pictures are plain line studies of torsos, hips and thighs marked A, B, C and D, showing how the body's masses turn and shift, which a designer can use as a reference for posing and simplifying figures.
