Morpho: Simplified Forms: Anatomy for Artists: 2 (Morpho: Anatomy for Artists)

Descriptive and easy to follow. An excellent companion for the budding artist venturing into the world of life drawing . Reinforces your understanding of proportions, shape and form as akin to the human anatomy.

This book will be very useful for artists, its very detailed in body movement and flexibilty. Worth buying.

For artists that want to improve drawing from imagination this is a great little book with some excellent examples on how to simplify anatomical forms. It particularly helped me with some of the tricky to decipher areas like the hips.I personally prefer this to some of the more renowned instructional books such as loomis or bridgeman. Loomis’ book is too wordy for me and I’m personally not a fan of how his figures look. Bridgeman has the style nailed but his drawings are loose and abstract and the text is like reading some cryptic language.This book however is simple, easy to understand, and most importantly the drawings themselves look great.

These books are excellent pocket guides to anatomy, the illustrations are all high quality and good to reference- and the text is readable! They're really good for helping improve drawing from imagination. It also opens and lays flat, which is brilliant for referencing.However, pocket guide is literal. These are only A5 and are no bigger than 1-2 cm. The images on the listing don't do the actual size of this book justice, and like a lot of reviews here, I was expecting something bigger. The binding is also only glued on one side, which does allow the book to lay flat, but makes the book feel a tad flimsy.Despite it's flaws, I'd still reccomend these books, just be aware of the small sizing.

I will be buying all of these books

This is my first book from the MORPHO series and For someone who likes to go out and study in a café or other social spaces this is perfect. The spine of the book is not attached which makes the book lay flat with little effort nicely so you aren't fighting the pages. the content itself is handy so far and I am only partway through the book.

Great book as far as the contents go, sadly it arrived damaged (wrinkled and bent in).

it’s got sections for the different parts of anatomy you’re learning and so many references to follow. i find it super helpful and can already notice an improvement for myself.
