Description
Anatomy for the Artist by Sarah Simblet is a comprehensive guide to drawing the human body. This beautifully illustrated art book offers a fresh approach to life drawing, combining stunning photographs of models with historical and contemporary works of art. With over 250 specially-commissioned photographs and drawings, you'll discover the skeleton, muscle groups, and body systems of the human body. The book features 10 masterclasses that demonstrate how famous artists have depicted the human body, including works by Michelangelo, Hans Holbein, Ingres, and Degas. Each masterclass includes a photograph of a model holding the same pose as in the painting, highlighting key details of anatomy and showing how the artist has interpreted them. Practical advice and top-tips on life drawing are also provided, making this book an essential resource for artists of all levels.
