At first I thought this was outdated (but I said what the heck try it). I've been drawing a lot of anatomy, though I am not looking for the "realistic" look. But this book is still perfect for everyone. The parts that we must focus are made so that are immediately seen by our eyes. Understanding a human body is not making those perfect shapes, it's about understanding how everything is constructed. I regret saying that this book is "old", it's actually what every student will need in the future. Even those who feel that they know anatomy should at least read this.
