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.
LibraryThing member rosinalippi
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.
