Description: About this productProduct InformationBasic Human Anatomy teaches artists the simple yet powerful formula artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the inside out. A comprehensive, yet flexible and holistic approach, Roberto Osti's method of teaching anatomy is exhaustive, but never loses sight of the fact that this understanding should lead to the creation of art.Product IdentifiersPublisherMonacelli Press, IncorporatedISBN-101580934382ISBN-139781580934381eBay Product ID (ePID)217027121Product Key FeaturesBook TitleBasic Human Anatomy : an Essential Visual Guide for ArtistsAuthorRoberto OstiFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicTechniques / General, Reference, Study & Teaching, Subjects & Themes / Human FigurePublication Year2016GenreArtNumber of Pages304 PagesDimensionsItem Length10.8in.Item Height1.1in.Item Width8.8in.Item Weight50.1 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberNc760.O88 2016Reviews"This volume is useful not only for the excellent information and guidance Osti (Univ. of the Arts, Philadelphia) provides but also for the manner in which he presents the information. His presentation of the fundamentals is simple but elegant, and the visuals, examples, and exercises harmoniously supplement the information. Readers can flip to just what they need or study the work as a whole, a flexibility that makes the book valuable as both a textbook and a reference tool. Osti's skills as an artist and instructor are abundantly clear throughout the book, and the many excellent illustrations showcase his credentials well. The market is saturated with books on figure drawing, but human anatomy titles are less numerous, and many are dated. Sarah Simblet's Anatomy for the Artist (2001) and Valerie Winslow's Classic Human Anatomy in Motion: The Artist's Guide to the Dynamics of Figure Drawing (2015) are excellent, but what sets Osti's title apart is its simplicity and the clarity of its prose."
