Product Description
Praised by critics and teachers alike for more than forty years, Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy is recognised worldwide as the classic, indispensable text on artistic anatomy. Now revised, expanded and completely redesigned with more than 75 never before published drawings from the Hogarth archives and 24 pages of new material. This award-winning book brilliantly reveals the live, expressive structure of the human form. Superb action studies and practical diagrams show how to render the anatomical details of the figure in motion and at rest. Over 400 remarkable illustrations explain the anatomical details of male and female figures in motion and at rest, always stressing the human form in space. This revised and expanded edition of Dynamic Anatomy initiates the re-launch of all six titles in the series.

Format:Paperback
The inimitable Burne Hogarth breaks down, with startling simplicity, the secrets and tricks behind inventing YOUR OWN dynamic action poses! Once you've mastered his techniques, you REALLY WON'T ever need reference again!
As an artist (15 years illustrating), I can whole-heartedly reccomend this book to any other artists (especially aspiring comic and sequential artists), struggling with the difficulties of posing the human figure in deep perspective (and making it look right).
While I'm not a big fan of Hogarth's style (all the drawings... hundreds of them... are rendered in his style), I was nonetheless SO blown away by the techniques he revealed that I went and bought ALL the other Hogarth books.
For the experienced artist... the benefit is this: Burne Hogarth doesn't try and teach you how to draw like HIM. He shows you how to use what he knows, to better serve your OWN art. And his tricks are time tested! Well worth the investment.

Format:Paperback
This book had been written from the perspective of an artist. There are no unnecessary detailed anatomical studies that show how individual muscles link to the bones. That would be far too detailed. Instead author, Burne Hogarth, just shows in many illustrations how muscles do appear on the surface from many angles.
As well, by using a human head as a standard relative length, he provides accepted proportions for other parts of the body. For example, human body is 8 1/2 heads tall, 2 to 2 1/3 heads wide over the sholders etc. This approach suits me, but you'll find lots of teaching web sites reference this book.
This book is worth every penny.

Format:Paperback
This really is an incredibly useful book. It provides a few chapters of history about the development of figure drawing and then works through the body piece by piece giving examples from every angle, and a few famous examples. The drawing style of the author takes awhile to get used to, but when you do it really does help you to understand how the figure is being constructed.
