Book Overview

Morpho: Hands and Feet: Anatomy for Artists focuses exclusively on two challenging areas of figure drawing. Michel Lauricella reviews human proportions and simplified shapes before examining the skeleton, musculature, skin, fat, and veins.

The book explains how these structures support movement and form. Its introduction, drawings, hands section, feet section, and resources provide a clear progression from foundational forms to distinctive details.

The book is categorized as an art reference and anatomy guide. It includes illustrations by the author and is part of the Morpho: Anatomy for Artists series.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• A review of human proportions and simplified shapes for the forearm and lower leg.
• An examination of bones, bone markers, musculature, skin, fat, and veins.
• Guidance on understanding the movement and connections of the extremities.
• Detailed discussion of the hand, including the radius, ulna, carpus, metacarpals, phalanges, and thumb.
• Approaches to drawing hands in grasping positions and varied orientations.
• Studies of the venous system using a simplified approach intended for drawing from imagination.

Why This Book Matters

Hands and feet often create difficulties in figure drawing because their forms change substantially with movement and position. This book addresses those difficulties through a layered study of structure, form, and surface detail.

Its focus on drawing from imagination makes anatomical understanding central to the process. The material also encourages readers to maintain connections between the extremities and the complete figure.

The book is relevant to artists developing observational and imaginative figure-drawing skills, including readers working with human anatomy as a visual reference.
