Summary

Study human anatomy to translate nature into drawings that are both anatomically accurate and artistically beautiful.

Essential Human Anatomy for Artists is an anatomy course in a book that's designed to offer students new tools to help them understand the connections between exterior forms and deeper structures.
  • Along with demonstrations of key materials are in-depth discussions of the skeleton and the study of the muscles.
  • The drawing demonstrations, which are based on a series of live model poses, are designed to help readers understand the various forms of the human body.
  • Key information on movement and lighting is also included.
Essential Human Anatomy for Artists allows artists at all skill levels to learn to work freely and confidently with the human figure and use the information it provides to create an accurate visual impression.

The For Artists series expertly guides and instructs artists at all skill levels who want to develop their classical drawing and painting skills and create realistic and representational art.
