Ready Aim Fire!: A Practical Guide To Setting And Achieving Goals

Although the average student is distracted and unable to make much headway without some knowledge of anatomy, he does not want to be cumbered with too many facts, nor does he want to wade through a lot of reading. I have attempted to keep the artist’s requirements in mind throughout this book and, wherever possible, to relate the anatomical structures of the human body to its surface appearances. I should have liked to have included many more drawings, but I hope that the student will be able to continue where my efforts cease, and study for himself or herself on the basis I have presented in this book.Although the average student is distracted and unable to make much headway without some knowledge of anatomy, he does not want to be cumbered with too many facts, nor does he want to wade through a lot of reading.

Concise and uniquely organized, this outstanding guide teaches the essentials of anatomical rendering. Author Diana Stanley presents numerous illustrations and instructions covering the key aspects of anatomy, without the distractions of unnecessarily extensive technical details that many art students find discouraging. Four major sections constitute the book, with studies of the trunk, the head and neck, the upper limb, and the lower limb. Each section features full coverage of the skeleton, the muscles, and their surface forms. The emphasis throughout is on relating anatomical structure to the actual surface appearance of the body, both at rest and in motion. Sixty-four exceptionally clear and instructive illustrations include diagrams of skeleton and muscle structure, as well as superb examples of figure drawing. This affordably priced and easy-to-reference manual represents an invaluable addition to the library of every artist — student and professional. Anatomy in great masters simplified, with 95 Marsh drawings not seen elsewhere. Full text, over 200 illustrations
