Steve Huston was born and raised in Alaska. He studied at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design. Graduating with his BFA, Huston began illustrating. His client list eventually included such names as Caesar's Palace, MGM, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios.After nearly a decade of doing commercial work, Huston decided a change was in order. He's developed his unique teaching method over 30 years, teaching drawing, painting and composition- first at his Alma Mater, then at the Disney, Warner Brother, Dreamworks, and most other major studios.
"Steve Huston is a living master, and one of the few who can teach
as well as he paints. He's both a mentor and an inspiration to a
new generation of professional artists around the world." - Joshua
Jacobo, Cofounder and CEO,New Masters Academy"Steve Huston is one
of the most uniquely powerful artists out there . . . a modern
master. [Figure Drawing for Artists] is a phenomenal resource.
Steve's insight and love for what he does inspires. This book
should be in every student's library. That being said, it's for
every artist - students and professionals alike." - Carlos Huante,
Art Director, Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm
"Finally a book that emphasises gesture and rhythm first and
foremost. I think the book is weighted just right for making it
clear to the current photo copyist culture, and the overly
medicalized anatomy culture, that gesture, rhythm, and playful,
designed proportion are by far the most important initial visual
ideas. Not only for the figure, but for entire images." - Erik
Olsen, faculty at College of Creative Studies, Detroit
"Steve Huston's new instruction book, FIGURE DRAWING FOR ARTISTS,
has been long over due and something I have personally waited for.
A consummate draftsman, brilliant painter and one of the most
knowledgeable artist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing has
made this valuable book available for anyone who is truly
interested in understanding the principals of drawing. This book
will be the yardstick that all other instructional drawing books
are measured by." - Dan McCaw, Fine Artist
"an authoritative and useful book with a range of expert tips,
pointers and advice that will help your figure drawing"
