Book Overview

Morpho: Skeleton and Bone Reference Points is an artistic anatomy reference by Michel Lauricella. It covers the head and neck, torso, upper limb, and lower limb. The author presents a simplified version of the skeleton to stay close to living forms and to support imaginative figure construction.

This 99-page English edition is published by Rocky Nook and includes every illustration created by the author. The clear structure makes it suitable for students, illustrators, and practicing artists.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Bone reference points for the head and neck, including the cheekbones, zygomatic arches, mastoid, and thyroid cartilage.
• A simplified view of the rib cage and pelvis for drawing the torso with confidence.
• Key landmarks of the upper limb and lower limb with attention to hard and soft form contrast.
• A classical organization by body section: head and neck, torso, upper limb, and lower limb.
• Illustrations by the author that emphasize useful landmarks without overcomplicating anatomy.

Why Morpho Skeleton Matters

Understanding the skeleton helps artists construct figures with imagination and grasp the mechanics of the body. Lauricella explains how bone reference points remain visible through skin, muscle, and fat, so the same principles can serve observational drawing and stylized work.

The book stays practical by treating cartilages as hard reference points when necessary and reducing joints to sphere and pulley shapes. That clarity is useful for anyone learning to draw the human body.
