ebooks Anatomy and Construction of the Human Figure (Dover Art Instruction) by Charles Earl Bradbury in Arts-Photography

Description

To draw or paint human figures truly; an artist must have as much understanding of bones and muscles as of form. This beautiful guide by a respected artist and teacher provides that knowledge. Realistic plates of bones and muscles show form and function; while full-color images make graphic distinctions between bone; muscle; and tendon. Drawings throughout the book emphasize fundamentals of anatomy and show simple methods of building the forms.Author Charles Earl Bradbury (1888-1967) takes a two-part approach in this book. The first part features a self-contained treatment of the bones of the skeleton and how they relate to the bodys outline and muscle masses. The second focuses on muscles and their actions; showing how they are constructed and how they look in the human form. Male and female structures are compared and contrasted throughout the text. Designed specifically for classroom use; this volume is also a priceless reference.
