影響全球繪畫概念的「FORCE」系列新作──讓你更快速、有效地學習「力量表現技巧」！力形＝有力的形體＆形狀人體結構在運動時，會有力量流竄在裡頭，每個部位都成了「力形」，每個動作都展現力的作用方向，畫出力量充滿於結構中的樣子，才能讓人體「活」起來！【本書特色】◎逾200張的『速寫圖』，標示出方向力、作用力、轉折邊、環繞線等力的概念，透過不斷展示人體律動的規律，訓練一眼辨識力形及力的走向。◎每幾頁就圍繞著一個重要的FORCE 概念，以圖畫示範。每個FORCE概念都有簡短的段落進一步提示並說明技巧。◎以『→』來了解方向力及作用力，其箭頭標記的尾端點、中間頂點（力作用的地方）和前端（起點），建構運動中的人體形態。如何在一幅人物畫中，表現出動作的張力？肌肉、結構的方向力、作用力又該怎麼呈現？因動作而形成的人體律動，要怎麼自然地繪出？這些都是讓角色活靈活現的必備要素。「FORCE力量繪畫」，是藝術家麥可・瑪特西依自己畢生的繪圖經驗定義出的完整架構，用分析畫作，有系統地清楚說明「力」的概念。三十多年來，這個技巧已造福了無數的插畫師、藝術概念家、角色設計師。系列作已出版多冊，且翻譯成多國語言，每冊皆以數百張充滿力量的人物畫為範例，教導觀者以「力」的方式觀看和繪製圖畫。每幅畫的姿勢充滿了力量和戲劇性，清晰的肌肉線條能幫助觀者理解動作中所運用的身體結構。力的概念小學堂：■方向力使用線條來傳達能量的概念，也就是力量，線條從某一處開始，中間展現出主軸，之後畫到某處結束。■作用力當一股方向力施加到另一股方向力上時，就成為作用力。原先的方向力將決定這股作用力的強度。■導引邊導引邊指的是引導動作方向的身體邊緣。你會發現這是作用力最多的地方。導引邊也是繪圖時的最佳下筆起點。■力量形體利用「透視」、「轉折邊」、「中心線」、「環繞線」等基礎的素描概念，搭配方向力和作用力所營造的自然律動，加重人體動態線條。■律動的路徑一股方向力只有可能轉變為作用力、繼續下去或分裂。 方向力永遠不會在人體的一側跳著行進，單一的一股方向力會呈現出「C」型曲線，兩股具有作用關係的方向力才會形成「S」型曲線。讓方向力、作用力、律動等FORCE概念，流竄於你的畫作之中，充滿生命力的人物便躍然紙上！
