Product Description
This manual offers techniques that visually simplify and refine the study of the body's muscles and skeleton into concepts that can easily be used by beginning and intermediate artists alike. One example of this is the human neck. There are many large and small muscles in the neck, all rendered in great detail in most anatomy books, yet only four of them are ever visible. This book attacks anatomy from an artist's point of view, offering such valuable concepts as how to self-check the proportions of the head and body to make sure they are accurate, without the need of a model.

 Just so-so September 6, 2008
The book does have some insights into human anatomy, however it is all bland with no feel for it.
Most importantly it concentrates more into male anatomy and not give you a healthy dose of the female anatomy as well.
As a male artist, studying my own body will be more educational than this book.
beginners guide September 2, 2008
this book is not helpful to anyone who is a serious artist. if you want to get good at drawing, want to learn more about anatomy, get an anatomy book. this book is suited for people who don't really care about anatomy, and just want to know enough to scrape by.
I did not like this book.
 Great book, not my artistic style though April 13, 2008
The drawings are wayyyyy old school. Nothing like the comic book looks yyou see now. It reminds me of that old school superman show where he jumps on a trampoline and then flies into the air. So for the guys body it's very old school western muscular (so not very. not much of a six pack and stuff)
i would have loved this book if he had used the drawing style of some of his other books!
Useful, but not for "serious" artists February 11, 2008
This books has a very specific function, and is not for everyone. I would reccomend this book for any casual artists who want to draw cartoon or comic-book / manga style art, and need to reference a basic anatmony.
This books is NOT for people who want to do realistic art. This books is NOT for someone who wants to draw a specfic style of art (i.e. how to draw manga). This books is NOT for people who needs to learn how to draw from the ground up.
This books is best suited to casual artiststs / fan artists who already have an idea of how to draw, and already have their own style, but need a reference for simplified anatomy seen in comic books and manga.
 Very helpful but lacking January 6, 2008
I admit this book is a lot better than I thought it would be.
I'm glad I didn't pay the nay sayers any mind.
Though I have decent drawing skills not good enough to be considered a master but not a beginner either.
I still think in order to improve your Artistic understanding of anatomy this book is a good start in the right direction though I still recommend you draw people who are willing to model for you or take a life drawing class if you are of age.
