Anatomía para el artista

Learn to observe the inner workings of the human body to draw muscle groups, skeletal strength, balance, posture, and grace. These six drawing lessons help you conceive of the human body from a fresh perspective by understanding techniques and poses that imaginatively demonstrate how to observe and draw the skeletal structure, head, ribcage, pelvis, hands, and feet. Through her analysis of ten masterpieces, the author shares her knowledge and the inspiration of great artists of the past, from Holbein's Recumbent Christ to Edward Hopper's Hotel Room. Each lesson also includes a photograph of a model in the same pose, allowing for insightful anatomical comparisons.
