About this deal

And the same goes if you want to learn anatomy. Again a very extensive visual guide of both the male and female bodies. You’ll learn how to draw the human body in many different positions and actions. My favorite thing about this book is that it uses a basic process of learning through line and shape. Exactly the same kind of process I use and that always helped me understand the human body. Not only that, but beyond the photographs, this book shows you studies and comprehensive drawings showing the muscles, bones, and shapes on top of those photographs. What I most enjoy about Andrew Loomis’s approach is that he keeps everything simple. If you’ve watched my drawing courses before you know that I like to teach in a simple way, so drawing is enjoyable for everyone.

This book avoids going into too technical terms and details of the human body, giving you a good understanding of anatomy with many visual examples. In general, I think it’s good to learn from different styles of learning and to have a good visual library to help us understand better the human body, so look up each of these books, and see what seems the most interesting for you. Also, this is not a very big book, so it’s perfect if you want to bring it with you somewhere and won’t take too much space at home either! Basic Human Anatomy: An Essential Visual Guide for Artists, by Roberto Osti It is very visual and shows us different body styles, as well as faces and ages. In my opinion, the Morpho books are very good to draw studies from. Understanding how the human body works is very important when drawing it, and this book will explain all of that to you.If you want a book filled with head references, this is it. This book is filled with pictures of different people, of different ages, wearing different expressions. A nice little detail is that you’ll also find a section filled with pictures of the mouth pronouncing the different phonemes used in human speech. As an extra, this book also comes with additional photos of couples kissing, people wearing hats, and even illustrations that show the skull anatomy and muscles.

Be it animation, character design, environments, sketching, tutorials, and many others, there’s something for you out there! This is something I always recommend my students to do. When in doubt, find a reference and draw shapes on top of it. Nothing like a hands-on exercise to clear out any doubts and understand better how to draw the human body. For me, any kind of artbook needs to be very visual. Text won’t help me a lot without a visual example. I use these in tandem with other resource like the Robert Beverly Hale books on learning from masters (drawing and anatomy), Glen Vilppu manual, Michael Hampton figure drawing book, the Sheppard anatomy for artists book, and a few more popular books for anatomy in drawing circles. I don't think this is a buy just one book on anatomy type of book, but a pretty much mandatory supplement in terms of the features I've mentioned above. No affiliation; just like this book! And this book is great for that. It’s very well organized, going from the overall shape of the body to explaining each part of it, step-by-step.Anatomy drawing reference books often go through this subject and will show you how to draw the head and its features. But they usually don’t show a lot of examples.

Of course, not all of us have the same process, but I still believe it’s important to have lots of visual examples when it comes to learning anatomy!Not only that, but it shows different shapes that you can use. There is no true way of drawing the human body. You can use different kinds of shapes and still produce a faithful drawing of a person. Constructive Anatomy has almost 500 illustrations and it will show you the body both in motion and repose. Every little bit of detail of the human body will be shown here. I like to go through these books and draw studies from them. This is the best way I learn: by observing and reproducing the examples I see. With that said, this book will not only show you the overall shape of the body but also goes through joints, muscles, and bones in a very simplified way. For this reason, I think this is a good anatomy drawing reference book for when you’re in the more advanced stages of drawing or if you want to really understand the intricacies of the human body and its anatomy.
