Description
Stephen Rogers Peck's Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist remains unsurpassed as a manual for students. It includes sections on bones, muscles, surface anatomy, proportion, equilibrium, and locomotion. Other unique features are sections on the types of human physique, anatomy from birth to old age, an orientation on racial anatomy, and an analysis of facial expressions. The wealth of information offered by the Atlas ensures its place as a classic for the study of the human form.

This is an extraordinarily useful guide to the human form from a visual stand point. I am no artist, though I enjoy drawing. As poor as I am at it, this book was able to help me and improve my work.

The most exhaustive and useful handbook on the subject. I've spent many hours drawing from it, and there is no end in sight on what I have to learn from it.
