In Morpho: Joint forms and muscular functions, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a mechanical view of the human body. In the same way that paleontologists work, we can deduce the body's muscular functions by studying the shapes of the bones. Starting with the joints, which are reduced to simple shapes such as pulleys and spheres, Lauricella teaches you their connections and correspondences with the muscular system, which is necessary for understanding movement.
Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will facilitate your practice of imaginative drawing and will enrich your drawing from observation.

Paperback. Condition: New. In Morpho: Joint Forms and Muscular Functions, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human form. In this book, Lauricella offers a mechanical vision of the body, allowing us to see the important connections between the body's joints and its muscular functions. By reducing joint shapes to very simple forms, such as the pulley and the sphere, and then demonstrating the relationships that muscles have to these joints, you acquire much more insight into both the shape and movements of the human body, which in turn improves your powers of observation and thus your drawing skills.
