Bought some anatomy books

Submitted by  Teoh Yi Chie on  August 31, 2009 - 12:54 pm

I bought (and borrowed) some anatomy books for September. Not just for reviews but also to brush up on my basic knowledge on anatomy so I can draw less crappy human figures like those you see below.

The three books that almost duplicate one another are Classic Human Anatomy: The Artist's Guide to Form, Function, and Movement by Valerie L. Winslow, Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form by Eliot Goldfinger and Human Anatomy for Artists by Andras Szunyoghy and Gyorgy Feher. They are basically anatomy reference books. More detailed reviews to come.

The rest are more instructional.

Those sketches are really great! Thanks for the link, I'll have to do some sketches too.

Looking forward to the reviews, can never have enough anatomy books :D. The Charles Bargue book is really great, costs a pretty penny but it's a quality book.
