More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Fantasy artists are unlikely to use models to draw from life but, to be successful, their creations must have a grounding in reality. This book teaches the artist the principles of anatomy, from musculature and skeletal structure through to movement. You can then develop your artistic style by breaking and bending the rules of anatomy through practical exercises and demonstrations, accompanied by incredible finished artworks. The step-by-step exercises help the artist to fully understand the subtle movements that combine to create expressions, and the flowing movements that constitute actions. This is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in improving and developing their fantasy art figures.

Format:Paperback
This was a fantastic book, i bought it on a whim, just wanting to perhaps slightly increase my skill in this form of art..it turned out to make it into something much better, it contains pictures, diagrams(musculature and hand shapes, and much more), and detailed explanations and walkthroughs on how to change basic fantasy art and normal art into great, hugely succesful pieces of amazing and unthought of creatures and heros..if you were even thinking of getting this, get it now!

I've got a few other anatomy guide books and fantasy art books, and this is a nice addition to the collection. It gives a nice amount of detail in how the anatomy of a regular human and fantasy human differ and work. Coupled with some greatly detailed illustrations and sketches, this book is definatley worth a look to both aspireing artists and established ones.
