Figure of a person for an artist. A big book of anatomy, references, and artistic poses

What distinguishes an amateur artist from a master? Sometimes the composition of the drawing, its shape and style are good, but something is missing. The incompetence in the field of anatomy is that even the most daring artistic plan can destroy.

For the artist, the study of this science is not limited to thoughtless memorization of the names and the location of various organs. To know anatomy means to understand how a person moves, why each ledge, line and bend are needed, how all of them help the body function. That is why the book contains detailed comments, backed up by anatomical schemes.

richly illustrated with photographs of diverse models of various ages and complexions, it will be useful to artists who do not have the opportunity to work with living people and write their work from nature.

For whom this book:

For artists, illustrators, animators, digital artists who seek to improve their skills in the image of people.

From the author:

Any work of fine art consists of many amazing elements. The contour, shape, gesture, plane, composition (I listed only a few of them) - all this plays the most important role in creating a reliable and aesthetic image of the human figure, but individual elements are not enough for the drawing to be spectacular. In my work, a drawing teacher I often encounter works in which gestures are natural, and the form is thought out, and the concept is original, but something is not enough to achieve success-or, even worse, this is a complete failure. Drawings that could be called beautiful spoils the absence of one important element - the one that both newcomers and experienced artists often lose sight of. What kind of Achilles is a heel that mixes cards to artists? You will be surprised, but this is the heel literally - as well as the muscles, tendons and bones of the human body
