Product Description
Review
'an elegantly written and superbly illustrated explanation of how the human body works, morphing into a guide to how to draw and paint it so that the resulting picture also looks as though it works'. The Artist magazine
Product Description
Leading painter John Raynes' new book brings clarity to the anatomy of the human body in relation to the way we draw and paint it. He brings his hallmark technical detail and accessibility to the subject of which he is a leading exponent. An essential book for reference and inspiration, the book provides insight into drawing real people, not just the anatomically 'correct' shapes. All shapes and sizes are covered, from overweight and underweight to heavily pregnant. It shows how an understanding of anatomical form is vital to drawing all types of figures. John also encourages you to be more creative in your figure work. The comprehensive companion is illustrated with over 200 illustrations, many step-by-step, and is divided into four sections : 1. Anatomy: skeleton and muscles. Anatomical drawings to fully explain the body's structure 2. Living Anatomy: surface form. How to use anatomical information to create surface form drawings 3. Figure Drawing: the key aspects. Covers shape, weight, balance and dynamics, structure, light and shade, movement (all with step by steps) 4. Drawing Real People. Covers clothing, character and idiosyncratic shape (all with step by steps) 5. Creativity with the Human Form. Playing with light and shade and creative composition

Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book! it shows how to draw the human body using different equipment (pencil, colouring pencils, charcoal, chalk, paint). It also shows more than how to draw muscles and bones. It has sections on how weight can affect the body, how to draw clothes, how to show light on the body and even a section on how to make drawings/paintings more creative!! I love this book.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is by far the best detailed display of anatomy I have seen, both from an art and human physiology perspective. The explanations of drawing issues and technique are concise and clear. Buy it with confidence.

Format:Hardcover
I have other books about figure drawing (ex. Life Drawing in Charcoal by Douglas Graves and Henry Yan's Figure Drawing Techniques and Tips by Henry Yan) and this is one of the best book that I have bought. The exercices and illustrations are very clear and complete. I recomend this book.
