Description
The newest book in Michael Mattesi’s Force Drawing series takes movement to the next level. Force: Drawing Human Anatomy explores the different facets of motion and the human body. Rather than relying on memorization, Mattesi emphasises the function of each body part and how gravity, relative to different poses, affects the aesthetics and form of muscle.
The chapters are divided by the different parts of the body, allowing the reader to concentrate on mastering one body part at a time. Colour-coded images detail each muscle and their various angles. Special consideration is given to anatomy for animation, enabling the reader to create a character that is anatomically accurate in both stillness and motion.
Key Features
- Detailed visual instruction includes colourful, step-by-step diagrams that allow you to easily follow the construction of an anatomically correct figure.
- Clearly organised and colour-coded by regions of the body's anatomy, providing clarity of design for better reader understanding.
- Learn how anatomy is drawn and defined by the function of a pose.
- Visit the companion website for drawing demonstrations and further resources on anatomy.
