EBOOKS RELEASER

A good understanding of anatomy is essential for any comic artist, and while this is not the most comprehensive or accurate anatomy references I've seen - the 'Ultimate Reference Guide' subtitle is not appropriate - Hart's book will be a boon to young cartoonists by making anatomy relevant to their interests. Best suited to those who already have some experience in drawing, as it assumes some understanding of drawing and representing three-dimensional form.

Pros

• Relates anatomy directly to cartooning.
• Several contributing artists add a variety of styles.
• Friendly, chatty style, and more pictures than text.
• bonus Interviews with Marvel and Dark Horse editors

Cons

• misses some key points, such as constructing the nose
• outline style sometimes 'flattens' forms

Fantasy artists are unlikely to use models to draw from life but, to be successful, their creations must have a grounding in reality. This book teaches the artist the principles of anatomy, from musculature and skeletal structure through to movement. You can then develop your artistic style by breaking and bending the rules of anatomy through practical exercises and demonstrations, accompanied by incredible finished artworks. The step-by-step exercises help the artist to fully understand the subtle movements that combine to create expressions, and the flowing movements that constitute actions. This is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in improving and developing their fantasy art figures.
