Rating:
Summary: Drawing anatomy used to be tough...
Review: From day one in elementary school art class the toughest thing to get a handle on was anatomy...do I wish I had Chris Hart's latest book on the subject back then! This is far and away the best book ever done on this subject for comic book artists. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Excellent Comic Book Anatomy
Review: I just purchased this book and have had some time to read through it and try some of the lessons they give. This is an excellent book for anyone who is wanting to learn how to draw comic book super heroes and villians. This book gives great detail and explanation of the human muscle structure and how they move and look from different positions. Skeletal framing and showing where the human skeleton supports the muscles is a good reference most people forget, thankfully it is explained here. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars was because I was hoping for a longer tutorial on drawing hands and feet. I admit this is my weakness, especially the hands, but the book seemed to almost gloss over the hands and feet. It gives great drawings of the hand from different angles and positions but I was hoping for a little more depth on advice on how to draw the hands and feet. I still recommend this book highly for people who want to learn how to draw the current style of american "cutting edge" gritty looking comics or for people want to take their drawing of their anatomy to another level.

Summary: Excellent Instruction
Review: This book helped me a great deal. I had never tackled the anatomy in this level of detail. I took lots of things for granted that I now feel more comfortable with. This is a highly recommended book for artists of all levels.

Summary: Great anatomy Instruction
Review: This book is the most readable anatomy book I've come across. the book gives detailed examples of a huge variety of body types & characteristics. It also taps into how the body changes with age which I found extremely helpful.
A great instruction book for any comic artist at any level.
