![]() That said, having an anatomy reference book to go along will be extremely helpful. There's nothing on bones and you won't learn how muscle works, but this isn't an anatomy reference book. One thing that's missing is the mention of figure proportions, like how many heads tall a body, length of an arm, etc. It still covers enough for for anyone to draw a decent head. The book does have head drawing but the focus is on the form rather than the details of the features, although the examples do show the details. ![]() Colour-coded and shown very clearly, with rotating views from front to back. I like the part on finding landmarks - bones that are near the skin. They are colour-coded to bring attention those that affect form when the body is in different positions. The muscle groups are visualised very distinctly in the examples. Not only that, Michael Hampton also builds onto to those simplified mannequins with lots of clearly illustrated muscles. ![]() The use of simple geometric shapes as drawing guides are simple to understand. To that aspect, I think it does a very good job. The many illustrated examples are aimed at helping students develop a feel for the form and volume of figures they draw. It doesn't go into contour drawing, shading and expression. The approach covered is primarily concerned with the use of line, development of form, and the simplified design of anatomy. ![]()
