Morpho: Anatomy for Artists: 1

Product Information

In this book, Michel Lauricella presents both his artistic and systematic methods for drawing the human body--with drawing techniques from the ecorche (showing the musculature underneath the skin) to sketches of models in action. The seller states in the listing that they normally post within 5 business days however it was 16 days before this item was posted from the warehouse. Morpho is a rich, fascinating, and helpful book that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey.

There are dedicated sections that address facial proportions, the simplified forms underneath the detailed anatomy, the underlying reference points of the skeleton, and the musculature, skin, and fat of the head, face, and neck.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Breaking the subject matter down into the underlying skeletal shapes, followed by the musculature, then skin and fat, and finally, the veins, Lauricella offers multiple approaches--from simple forms to complex renderings--and a plethora of positions and gestures are included to help you improve your drawing skills. The consistent labelling with small footnotes on every page is way more informative and digestible than reams of dry text. This isn’t a how-to-draw book, but it explains anatomical reasoning like how an ear is leveled to a jawbone or how long an arm should be from the kneecap.

In more than 1000 illustrations, the human body is shown from a new perspective—from bone structure to musculature, from anatomical detail to the body in motion. The typical approach to teaching anatomy and the sketching of the human form most often focuses on the skeleton and musculature. I have been on the hunt for a reference since then but every recommended anatomy book has been, in my opinion, dry or overly technical or full of lifeless diagrams of stiffly posed humans.

In Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human body. This small, portable book presents a unique perspective on the head, face, and neck for artists to study and implement in their drawing work. An “illuminating” (Daily Mail, London) exploration of the second generation of the iconic Bloomsbury Group who inspired their elders to new heights of creativity and passion while also pushing the boundaries of sexual freedom and gender norms in 1920s England. Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity.

Beautiful drawing interesting poises I particularly like the drawing of the body with muscles and bone showing under neath. Still, despite the size and the fact that another Morpho book I received, not even in a language I understand, holds a precious, respectful place on a shelf in my library.

This is different from a dry technical labelling of anatomy from a couple of positions prevalent in many artistic anatomy books. In this book, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella offers more than 300 original drawings and diagrams.

Still, now that I’ve received the larger ones, I can see I’m going to need the smaller ones in my library. No es un libro de anatomía riguroso, ni tampoco un tutorial encuadernado sobre como dibujar la figura humana, pero funciona muy bien desde la pedagogía de hacer primero y descubrir para qué después.This book is some of the most easy to follow anatomy, it's really straight forward, great for people who are starting out, it shows you the basic understanding of muscles and skeletons and break them down to basic forms.
