DRAWING IN SPACE

Theory and practice of figurative sculpture

Robert Bodem’s Drawing in Space has shaped a generation of figurative sculptors, offering a clear, structured approach to figurative sculpture. As the founding director of The Florence Academy of Art’s sculpture program and Athens Sculpture Atelier, Bodem has spent decades refining his method, teaching students to observe, interpret, and sculpt with confidence.

Now Bodem, in collaboration with sculptor Poppy Field, has simplified the complex challenge of working from life to present Drawing in Space as a fully comprehensive guide. This book offers a systematic approach that makes sculpting both intuitive and practical, and features detailed anatomical illustrations by sculptor Sergio Tomasa.

For beginners and seasoned artists alike, Drawing in Space provides essential tools for refining observation skills and developing a disciplined, personal approach to sculpting the human form. It teaches artists to break down visual information, deepen their understanding of the human body, and create realistic, expressive figures.
