Instructor Recommended Bebop Recommended by figure drawing instructor at local college. I have to agree it looks like it will be extremely helpful in improving my drawings.. Davin Ergun said Great way to learn anatomy. I had to purchase this book for an anatomy class in art school and I definitely like it better than other "strait" artistic anatomy books. It shows amazing artwork from historical art masters, with accompanying "traces" of key areas, pointing out the muscle groups they show, giving you a perfect example of how to apply.

If an artist has to occupy his mind with the task of clumsily grouping the elemental facts of anatomy as he draws, there can be little room left for really important matters--such as the spirit of the drawing and the artist's expressive intent." Coyle provides several examples within the study of each anatomical area to illustrate the variety of styles and methods employed by the masters. Anatomy Lessons from the Great Masters provides an anatomical counterpart to Robert Beverly Hale's classic reference book, Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters. A complete series of anatomical reference plates by Dr. Paul Richer is included. He combined these notes with 100 drawings to illustrate how the great masters portrayed specific parts of the human physique. The book treats, in o
