Morpho: Simplified Forms: Anatomy for Artists: 2

Great explanation and visual of forms and simplifying shapes, has proved super useful in helping me learn how the body works and also the names of certain muscles/bones, as that helps me identify landmarks in anatomy.

Brought for my Daughter. She will love this and it will help her in her career she has chosen.

Descriptive and easy to follow. An excellent companion for the budding artist venturing into the world of life drawing . Reinforces your understanding of proportions, shape and form as akin to the human anatomy.

These books are excellent pocket guides to anatomy, the illustrations are all high quality and good to reference- and the text is readable! They're really good for helping improve drawing from imagination. It also opens and lays flat, which is brilliant for referencing. However, pocket guide is literal. These are only A5 and are no bigger than 1-2 cm. The images on the listing don't do the actual size of this book justice, and like a lot of reviews here, I was expecting something bigger. The binding is also only glued on one side, which does allow the book to lay flat, but makes the book feel a tad flimsy. Despite it's flaws, I'd still reccomend these books, just be aware of the small sizing.

For artists that want to improve drawing from imagination this is a great little book with some excellent examples on how to simplify anatomical forms. It particularly helped me with some of the tricky to decipher areas like the hips. I personally prefer this to some of the more renowned instructional books such as loomis or bridgeman. Loomis’ book is too wordy for me and I’m personally not a fan of how his figures look. Bridgeman has the style nailed but his drawings are loose and abstract and the text is like reading some cryptic language. This book however is simple, easy to understand, and most importantly the drawings themselves look great.

This book will be very useful for artists, its very detailed in body movement and flexibilty. Worth buying.

Quite shocked at the size and quality of this book for the price its very basic and for the price I would not buy it or any over of his books I did look at some of his other titles before this book turned up so glad I did not buy it because they were even more expensive As I first opened this book the book cover came away from the spine the cover is too stiff for a paperback book

This is my first book from the MORPHO series and For someone who likes to go out and study in a café or other social spaces this is perfect. The spine of the book is not attached which makes the book lay flat with little effort nicely so you aren't fighting the pages. the content itself is handy so far and I am only partway through the book.

For me this book pulled it together with angles and form. Glad I have it with the Morpho Face-Head and Neck Hands and Feet--Joint Forms and Muscular Functions And In Simplified Forms he highlights Eyes-Ears-Noses and Mouths Along with Body Angles.

Libro de bolsillo fácil para practicar el dibujo anatómico. No tiene toda la estructura muscular del cuerpo humano, pero sí para empezar a dibujar cuerpos más realistas. Quiero responder una duda que lamentablemente le da mala nota a estos libros; no están rotos (ver fotos), los libros están cocidos para poder doblar las hojas y que no se cierren como suele pasar en otros libros que están pegados del lomo. No te asustes cuando veas ésto.

This is a very informative book.

Must have for anyone wanting to draw from imagination. Breaking them down into these simple shapes helps a lot.

Muitas pessoas vêem como um defeito o fato das páginas não estarem totalmente coladas à capa sem perceber que isso permite ao livro permanecer aberto quando em repouso. Isso facilita na hora de realizar algum estudo e utilizar seu conteúdo como referência
