SummaryFor hundreds of years, artists have studied the underlying structure of the human body in order to draw or paint figures accurately. The unique instant-start approach of this series is so simple that the reader can begin work immediately on original and exciting projects on this subject.This book will give the beginner a grounding in anatomy, covering the key areas from the artist's viewpoint. Starting with an introduction to the history of the study of anatomy for art, the book then provides a list of materials and equipment that are used in anatomical drawing and painting. The next chapter explains the basic structures of the human body and how the underlying parts go to create the superficial human appearance.There are then eight projects through which to practise anatomical knowledge.
