Book Review

I was hoping this book would be helpful for learning how to draw people. I don't think it will be very useful for me. This book seems to be an anatomy textbook for artists. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being an actual textbook in a class. Almost every page has pictures of muscles and joints. For someone not really interested in textbook level information, it is a bit of an overload. 

My favorite thing is the comparison of joints to everyday objects. For the elbow joint they show a picture of a crescent wrench and a spool. I think it's a good way to get a clear sense of how the joints work. 

Despite not being overly useful to me, I think this is a great book.
