it was amazing
bookshelves: must-buy, art

I absolutely love this book. It clarified every doubt I had regarding anatomy.

I like how this book looks at each individual muscle separately whilst providing a live figure to compare its location under the skin (It's actually pointed out), it also lays a foundation in understanding depth, light and shade for your further studies in anatomy art. Along with this, it provides cross sectional areas too, never thought that would be useful but it really is. The locations of even the underlying muscles on the bones are clearly depicted. This side be side comparison of bones, muscle and live figure is more helpful than one could imagine.

My favorite part are the illustrations in which the muscle prominent under different angles and intensity of stress are clearly showed. This is very important when proceeding to study motion motion.
The drawings are simple outlines, this makes it much easier to understand.
