Book Overview

Anatomy and Drawing is an instructional volume by Victor Perard. Published by Grace Prakashan in Bombay, it covers proportion, the skeleton, the head and neck, the torso, the arm, the hand, the leg, the foot, and the écorché. The material is intended for art students and beginners who need a clear visual understanding of the human figure.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• The standard proportion of seven and a half heads for an erect figure.
• Detailed treatment of the skeleton and its role in setting the proportions of the body.
• Sections on the head and neck, torso, arm, hand, leg, and foot.
• More than one thousand illustrations showing structures from different views.

Why This Book Matters

Anatomy and Drawing was created to make the study of anatomy less dull and difficult for beginners. The author places much dependence on pictorial representation because drawings can impress construction and form more directly than text. The book also explains how proportion changes with age and sex, making it a useful reference for figure drawing.
