DRAWING IN SPACE

Theory and practice of figurative sculpture

Robert Bodem’s Drawing in Space has shaped a generation of figurative sculptors, offering them a clear, structured approach to their practice. As the founding director of The Florence Academy of Art’s sculpture program and Athens Sculpture Atelier, Bodem has spent decades refining his method “Drawing in Space”, 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. Drawing in Space offers a systematic approach, making sculpting both intuitive and practical. It features detailed anatomical illustrations by sculptor Sergio Tomasa.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, Drawing in Space will give you essential tools for refining your observation skills and developing a disciplined yet personal approach to sculpting the human form. It will deepen your understanding of the human body, help you break down visual informaiton, and create realistic, expressive figures.
