About the book:

This visually striking reference work is an essential resource for artists and a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty of the human form. Acclaimed artist and academic Sarah Simblet uses drawings and specially commissioned photographs to reveal the fascinating relationships between the surface appearance of the human form and the complexities of its underlying structure.

?? Selected drawings are superimposed over photographs to illustrate the relationships between external appearance and internal structure.

?? Ten masterclasses examine world-famous paintings, from Holbein??s Christ Entombed to Edward Hopper??s Hotel Room, to explore each artist??s attitude, knowledge and use of human anatomy.

?? Six drawing classes offer imaginative techniques and ideas, guiding the reader to view the human body afresh.

?? A comprehensive and contemporary resource for artists at every level and anyone interested in the beauty and structure of the human form.
