From head to toe; the human form; in all its complexities; is visually simplified to such a degree in this remarkable workbook that even complete beginners will soon be able to draw accurate; well-proportioned faces and figures every time they try. Avoiding complex charts of muscles and bones that are more helpful to doctors than to artists; this bookrsquo;s refreshing approach teaches anatomy from a cartoonist/illustratorrsquo;s point of view. For example; there are many large and small muscles in the neck; all rendered in great detail in most anatomy books; but here; master teacher Christopher Hart shows only the four that are visible and need to be drawn. His clear instruction helps readers to visualize and portray shifting body weight in a pose without the need of a model; and instead of showing a mass of facial muscles and bones; he translates them into the simple planes an artist needs to draw a range of expressive faces.

Really worth it bookBy LauraIt is explroing sucha big topic in really conscise segments and pinpointing aspects of memory and art practice in a way that invites into further reserach and contribution on the topic; is also great for artists to self analyze where certain techniques and processes that seem natural might be coming from.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
