Excellent book for any skill level
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I was fifteen when I bought this book from a local art store. I have always been interested in drawing people and this book was so helpful I couldn't even believe it. I have had it for about 3 and a half months and I have drawn nearly every thing in it twice. It is the perfect book to learn from and definetely helps you draw things more realistically and proportionally. This has helped me tremendously and I can't imagine what my skills were like before I started using this wonderful book.
One of the finest books on anatomy for the artist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
For many years, browsing the shelves of bookstores looking for something fresh proved to be a fruitless exercise. Then one day I came across this book and it made the long search worthwhile! The strength of this title is evident from just the cover and inside it proved to be equally impressive. My preference for anatomy drawings is pencil on white paper and this delivers in spades. The reproduction is flawless, with a rare crispness that adds greatly to my enjoyment of the drawings.Although only 87 pages long the clear, precise plates are a superb reference and the technical mastery of Civardi's drawing is a joy to behold and very inspirational.I rate this as one of the must-have books in any artist's collection.
Absolutely the finest book on human anatomy!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Why is this book simply the finest reference book on human anatomy, you ask? Simple! Because it clearly and succinctly itemizes the various muscle and bones structures of the human body. It is detailed eoungh so that even the most experienced artist will find this reference material useful, yet it only emphasizes the details that are relevant to the artist so that even a novice can use this book. You simply cannot find another book on the market that itemizes the human anatomy in such a succinct and useful manner! Beware: this is a reference guide of the human anatomy - that is, it does not "teach" how to draw the human anatomy. For beginners, I strongly reccommend pairing this reference material with a book that teaches the basic techniques of drawing the human anatomy. Ciao
