About this ebook

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 book’s refreshing approach teaches anatomy from a cartoonist/illustrator’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.

Ratings and reviews

I got this book years back, and looking at it now, it honestly wasted my time. I learned basic proportions and tips on how to draw certain things, but it didn't help my anatomy. I found Jazza, a YouTuber, who has videos on anatomy for artist that actually shows the shape of muscle groups. Here, it skipped the important details, with just lines pointing to different muscles, without showing you their actual shapes. If you are serious about learning the anatomy needed to help you down the road as an artist, don't get this book. If you want neat little tips here and there about certain things and you are new to art, maybe it is a good start, but not a good long term reference.

it was good but pls can u add how to draw boddies as well cus that was what I was there for

jesus loves you
