Anatomy: A Complete Guide for Artists (Dover Anatomy for Artists) Paperback – Illustrated, September 30, 1992

Great detailed drawings. A useful guide for those who want to learn the layers of anatomy, rather than just seeing what's on the surface. I love how this book shows sequential drawings of the body that add more and more muscles each time. That way, I can learn what's behind what, and really have a solid understanding of the human figure. However, I wouldn't say this is a be-all-end-all anatomy book. Rather, it s a great supplement to the wonderful beginner anatomy books that focus more on basic forms and proportion. It bridges the gap between a book like Hampton's Figure Drawing Design and Invention and a fairly complex (for artists) anatomy book like Stephen Rogers Peck.

I have drawn as a hobby for years, but I have always been terrible with full body drawings, this book has helped with that. It is very extensive and goes through each individual body part. It shows you how certain muscles, veins, etc appear based on the angle of the body. It was very detailed which I appreciate it. It won't magically make you amazing at drawing, but what book will? You have to put the work in yourself. Overall I highly recommend.

This has so far been a really great addition to my anatomy book collection. I really like the sort of layered approach to the images and text descriptions are easy to follow EXCEPT in the Kindle edition the Images while the drawings look good the words are barely legible sometimes not at all

I've been collecting anatomy for artists books for awhile and this is the best one in my collection to date. I like it because it shows each body part's bones, tendons/connective tissues and muscles from several different angles. It also includes drawings of the body parts' external views in several orientations. The drawings are done with scientific detail but are clearly meant for artists to use in rendering the human form with understanding of its structural underpinnings. I've copied illustrations from this book in my sketch book as observational practice and this has improved my life drawing. A worthy addition to your art practice library!

Absolutely great book!! Brand new. Beautiful.

Accurate, perspective was awesome... helping me with my portfolio!

This is just another good reference book in my artist's library.The book is easy to read and easy to follow.It is well laid out and has many examples to help guide your skills along

Las imágenes vienen bastante oscuras, algunas no se logran definir bien los bordes con el fondo. Podrían mejorar la calidad de impresión.
