Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a straightforward approach to studying the external anatomy of the human body for the art student. It begins with the author's assertion that understanding the skeletal framework and the force of the muscles that are attached to it is much more useful to the artist than the isolated study of anatomy. The focus of the book is solely on the muscles and bones that affect the surface of the human form and how they are seen in a variety of poses. Also included are brief discussions of relevant artistic concepts, such as the balance and equilibrium of the body. Ultimately, this book teaches artists that understanding the mechanical structure of the human figure is the key to unlocking its expressive potential.
