Breaking the subject matter down into the underlying sk In Morpho: Hands and Feet, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human body. This small, portable book presents a unique perspective on the head, face, and neck for artists to study and implement in their drawing work.The difference is in this book there's more breakdown into the different parts of the body, muscles, bone structure and how the different parts work together. There's not much text but whenever there is, the text is insightful and talks about things you should know when it comes to drawing the said part. Morpho is a rich, fascinating, and helpful book that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey. But if you already have a good foundation on figure drawing and anatomy, the depictions in this book will give a fresh perspective and good alternative to tightly-rendered, hyper-detailed anatomy books.

In recent years, perspective views have swept into the foreground in the field of landscape architecture. But the creator behind “Morpho” gets it - Lauricella presents the human form in a variety of dynamic positions, deftly demonstrating form, bone and muscle with a beautiful economy of line. There are dedicated sections that address facial proportions, the simplified forms underneath the detailed anatomy, the underlying reference points of the skeleton, and the musculature, skin, and fat of the head, face, and neck. The Morpho series are rich, fascinating, and helpful books that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey. Whether your interest is in portraiture, figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.

What sets this apart from other anatomy or figure drawing books is its amount of invented drawing poses. I like the way the book feels and handles, and have used quite a few pages to really get to grips with bone, muscle and movement. The artist shows some bigger body types toward the end, which is a pleasant surprise from most art books.
