Morpho: Skeleton and Bone Reference Points

Morpho Skeleton and Bone Reference Points is a practical pocket-sized guide for artists who want to understand the human skeleton. This digital PDF edition by Michel Lauricella is available for instant download after purchase.

The book focuses on the bone landmarks that are most useful for drawing the human figure. It presents a simplified approach to the skeleton so you can draw with more imagination and observation.

Book Overview

Morpho Skeleton and Bone Reference Points belongs to Michel Lauricella’s Morpho series on anatomy for artists. It provides a practical and simplified method for visualizing the human skeleton, organized by head and neck, torso and shoulders, upper limbs, and lower limbs.

Every model, regardless of body shape, has bone reference points that become visible through movement. This guide helps you identify these reference points and use them to enrich observational drawing.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Reference points on the head and neck, including the cheekbones, zygomatic arches, mastoid, and thyroid cartilage.
• The torso and shoulders, including the rib cage, sternum, pelvis, sacrum, and pubis.
• The scapular belt and how the clavicle and scapula drive arm movement.
• The upper and lower limbs and the simplified joint shapes of the sphere and pulley.
• Proportions such as the eyes at halfway up the head and the pubis halfway between head and foot in a standing position.
• Visual distinctions between more delicate and more powerful skeletal structures.

Why This Book Matters

Lauricella’s approach separates bony forms from fleshy forms, helping artists alternate between softness and hardness in their drawings. The book stays close to the living form and avoids overly anatomical detail.

Understanding bone reference points makes it easier to construct figures from imagination and to observe how movement reveals the structure beneath the skin.
