this book goes through the fundamentals of anatomy then takes it for a spin with 3d art applications in mind. each general body part is given it’s own section. towards the end of the book, the author then puts the information given to practical application by showing how the body reacts to standing, sitting, walking, and many other everyday aspects of life. i’m not a 3d artist, but there are many aspects of the book that is applicable to all artists. anatomy is the most important thing to learn when rendering the human body.

i got this book for my boyfriend who is going into video game design because i think it is very important to understand how the human body looks and works if you are going to be drawing people. the book provides great basic knowledge on how to create people and includes chapters on movement, facial expressions, different body parts, etc. while this book focuses mainly on women (it seems that nearly all books of this type do), male design is also appropriately discussed. great pictures and examples as well as explanation; not step-by-step, but a general how-to. i would definetely reccomend this book if you know someone who is starting out in a design/graphic field.
