Good resource for art students
Compared to the money I have paid for my art school, this is pretty cheap and yet way more valuable. It starts with gestures and everything you need to pay attention to when drawing these. Which is amazing because gestures are a fundamental skill, yet for the most part no one gives complete explanation how to approach them. So it can get frustrating and intimidating and it can lead to developing bad habits that will later translate into mediocre art. On about 25 pages Michael Hampton explains HOW to approach them and WHY to approach them that way. Instantly improved my gestures.Rest of the book is anatomy and it's pretty detailed too. Filled with illustrations showing different muscles, bones and landmarks of human body. Explaining how they interact and how simple volumes translate into body parts.There's a lot of anatomy books out there. The ones I have held in my hands were all pretty boring and underwhelming, until this one. It's well structured, detailed and offers not only direction but also reasoning for it, so you actually understand what you're doing instead of just doing what you're told. Which I believe is a more constructive way of learning.

Noch viel besser als gedacht
Ich hab mir das Buch gekauft auf Empfehlung eines KI Systems.Ich habe es mir gekauft, weil ich unter anderem das Programm Blender erlernen möchte um gewisse Figuren herstellen zu können und um das möglichst detailgetreu hinzubekommen, habe ich mir genau dieses Buch zugelegt und ich muss sagen, ich bin hell auf begeistert. Es ist deutlich besser als ich dachte und wer ernsthaftes Interesse hat menschliche Figuren zu zeichnen und das Zeichnen zu erlernen, kommt um dieses Buch nicht herum.

Adorei o livro
O livro é um pouco menor se comparado ao "How to Draw", as quinas dele vieram amassadas por causa da entrega e na capa dele veio um liquido parecendo um creme, sem cheiro, sem cor e em pequenas quantidades (4 gotas), porém o conteúdo do livro (que é o que realmente importa) estava intacto.O livro é ótimo podem comprar sem medo, o conteúdo é maravilhoso e bem explicativo.
