This book is a great introduction to anatomy for beginners. It explains bone structure, muscles and how they work, and the shape of the body in a simple way that anyone can understand.
I feel it would be useful for anyone learning to draw people, as it gives some good advice on where to focus and how the posture affects your artwork.
The only thing I would have liked is to see more illustrations. There are some excellent drawings in the book, but I feel that some more would have balanced out the text and made some descriptions clearer.
All in all, a good book for beginners who are overwhelmed by the more advanced books on art.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book was a shockingly quick read! It deals with how the bodys muscles and bones interact with art and how to vividly depict movement. It’s a very cool read!

As the title suggests, this was an excellent book for artists. I have been trying to improve my gesture drawing and figurative paintings. It is very important to know what features of the body are the most important to make a good painting. This book points out the important bones and muscles so you can paint or draw the structure of the body most efficiently. It also explains which muscles will be more noticeable when the body bends and twists. That information is very valuable in gesture drawing.
