Pocket Anatomy: Figure Drawing Handbook in Color for Artists, Learning How to Draw Human Body by Simplifying the Complex Structures of the Body and Understanding the Human Form

Great book. Very detailed drawings. Great for reference.

Simple format, easy to flip through when solving a drawing problem. Good on its own, or works well with other reference tools. Small, compact, but drawings are not tiny. I know I will appreciate having this as an add on.

I purchased this book for a budding artist. She has been using it frequently. It has all the structures one would need to draw the human figure. It breaks down how to draw joints and muscles. the direction is easy to follow and interesting to look at. If you have a budding artist that is working on a portfolio, this instructional book is perfect.

The paper is thinner than I'd like. Honestly, I'd be thrilled to buy a small, expensive version of this where the pages are thick or even laminated, because it sees heavy use from a kid. It gets thrown in the book bag and treated poorly, but that's because it's loved. Well organized, tremendously useful, and I only wish they'd make a tougher version for my artist child. Still, if this one gets too beat up, I'm pretty sure I'll just buy them another.

I'm somebody who has loved art since I was a little kid but after college I kind of fell out of art for a while. Work in life in general. Just tired me out. But honestly having this little pocket size portable anatomy sketchbook brought art back to me. I often use it during my hour lunch break at work. The anatomy is simple yet helps even with experience artist. It's a great price for what you get. I recommended highly

It’s a good book, covers all of the Basics. Bodily structures, facial features, Hands and feet included which is nice However there’s a lot of nipples included, that for me wouldn’t be appropriate to gift to a preteen. Decided to keep it for myself.

Great small reference for simplifying figure drawing anatomy. You won't learn detailed sepcifics, but you'll learn enough of the basics to jump off from. I've been figure drawing for decades but paused for a while for a necessary focus shift and this is a helpful a quick reminder of key anatomical features. I'd recommend this to beginners and experienced artists who just need some quick reference and reminders.

Lindo muy didáctico

Piccolino ma molto utile,avrei preferito però un approfondimento sulla figura di 3/4 e di profilo

This book isn’t really for complete beginners. You’ll need some prior knowledge of 3D space and how to draw a complete human figure. It’s more about enhancing your work and giving it that extra polish, kind of like decorating a boring room to make it more vibrant and personal. To me, this book feels like a secret sibling to Morpho: Simplified Forms. It’s almost as if the author broke down the Morpho book, turned it into personal notes, and then arranged them into this guide. I can’t say for sure if that’s true, but that’s definitely the vibe I get!

Exactly as pictured. Small pocket size. Very useful reference for drawing human figure

excellent
