This manual offers techniques that visually simplify & refine the study of the bodys muscles & skeleton into concepts that can easily be used by beginning & intermediate artists alike. One example of this is the human neck. There are many large & small muscles in the neck all rendered in great detail in most anatomy books yet only four of them are ever visible. This book attacks anatomy from an artists point of view offering such valuable concepts as how to self-check the proportions of the head & body to make sure they are accurate without the need of a model.
