Morpho: Simplified Forms: Anatomy for Artists: 2

Great explanation and visual of forms and simplifying shapes, has proved super useful in helping me learn how the body works and also the names of certain muscles/bones, as that helps me identify landmarks in anatomy.

Brought for my Daughter. She will love this and it will help her in her career she has chosen.

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.

good but short and small format. Pricey.

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.

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

Quite shocked at the size and quality of this book for the price its very basic and for the price I would not buy it or any over of his books I did look at some of his other titles before this book turned up so glad I did not buy it because they were even more expensive As I first opened this book the book cover came away from the spine the cover is too stiff for a paperback book

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 for beginners.. you get to learn anatomy for sketching... I found it helpful when I was starting with sketching characters.

For me this book pulled it together with angles and form. Glad I have it with the Morpho Face-Head and Neck Hands and Feet--Joint Forms and Muscular Functions And In Simplified Forms he highlights Eyes-Ears-Noses and Mouths Along with Body Angles.

First of all, it is small as shown in some of the pics I uploaded. However, it’s not the size, but the content that’s important. It includes sections about Head & Neck, Torso & shoulders, upper limbs & Lower limbs. I’m very visual so I am enjoying the illustrations in itself that I can practice doing right along each page to correct my drawing proportions. I am liking the content so much that I am excited to get more the other Morpho books. If they are like this one, it’s easy to bring anywhere. The price is very affordable considering what is included and easy to take along anywhere I go. I am glad to have purchased this one. It will help me improve a lot. 😁

So far this book is really helpful. It's main purpose is to help you draw from your imagination rather than just memorizing specific poses by using simple shapes needed to construct the human body. It's great for learning complex anatomy as well as it provides information on the bones/muscles/and joints as well. I would definitely recommend checking out the authors other books for this series! Although my only complaint was that it arrived with black stuff on it? Which is okay b/c I just wiped it off. Overall good book and easy to understand; great for beginners.

Libro de bolsillo fácil para practicar el dibujo anatómico. No tiene toda la estructura muscular del cuerpo humano, pero sí para empezar a dibujar cuerpos más realistas. Quiero responder una duda que lamentablemente le da mala nota a estos libros; no están rotos (ver fotos), los libros están cocidos para poder doblar las hojas y que no se cierren como suele pasar en otros libros que están pegados del lomo. No te asustes cuando veas ésto.
