Pocket Anatomy: Figure Drawing Handbook in Color for Artists, Learning How to...

My son is enjoying it as he uses it for his Art lesson

Didn't help at all and I still think I'm gonna fail. Said it would simplify into simple shapes and only does it half the time. Or only simplifies half the drawings so one part is easy and the rest is hard

This book isn’t really for complete beginners. You’ll need some prior knowledge of 3D space and how to draw a complete human figure. It’s more about enhancing your work and giving it that extra polish, kind of like decorating a boring room to make it more vibrant and personal. To me, this book feels like a secret sibling to Morpho: Simplified Forms. It’s almost as if the author broke down the Morpho book, turned it into personal notes, and then arranged them into this guide. I can’t say for sure if that’s true, but that’s definitely the vibe I get!

Exactly as pictured. Small pocket size. Very useful reference for drawing human figure

Great small reference for simplifying figure drawing anatomy. You won't learn detailed sepcifics, but you'll learn enough of the basics to jump off from. I've been figure drawing for decades but paused for a while for a necessary focus shift and this is a helpful a quick reminder of key anatomical features. I'd recommend this to beginners and experienced artists who just need some quick reference and reminders.

Great book, slowly working through it and already improved a lot. great for reference and i love the small format
