As an artist that is having trouble with anatomy, I find this book illustrating and teaching how to understand it better. It is helping visualize various and difficult positions easier. This book is very handy and will definitely be using as a learning material as I continue to study human anatomy to help me in my art.

This book is broken down perfectly. It is easy to comprehend but complex enough that any reader can learn a lot. This is the perfect book for anybody at all levels and I can see it being a constant reference in my art.

What an amazingly detailed book with so many touchpoints and how each emotion changes the various parts of the face. So much attention to be paid to every controllable part of the body to get the sketch right.

I liked this book a lot. I found it very informative and a great tool to help learn more about the human body. I wish it was a bit longer and covered more of the body in detail. I found that a few of the chapters were too short. Overall though, I liked this book and will be recommending it to others.

This book was quite interesting. I have been drawing for over a decade now so I rarely read art books, but this one took my fancy and I thought it was generally a pretty good book. It talks about a lot of muscular and skeletal foundation works for art and how to reference and put emotion into pictures and details and shading a point of like I think it’s very well laid out and it goes through things very well so you can change which chat to you want to learn first and second so you don’t have to read it in order but I would highly recommend this to people. Even if you have been in the industry a long time, it’s still give you some tips and tricks that you may not of known.
