Great book to be read after reading Bridgman's Life Drawing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Constructive Anatomy (Paperback)
This is a great book, but it would be confusing unless one first read's Bridgman's Life Drawing which more simply teaches his system of drawing. I also would suggest getting another book on anatomy along with this one that has very clear illustrations of bones and muscles such as The Human Figure by David Rubins to accompany this. The beauty of Bridgman's books is that he teaches his method of constructing the figure that allows one to draw the body three dimensionally. Many beginning artists draw pictures of the body that look flat.

Kinda hard to understand,
By A Customer
This review is from: Constructive Anatomy (Paperback)
This book is filled with pictures. George B. Bridgeman did a great job with this book. The reason I gave only 4 starts is beacuse it was kinda hard to understand. I mean I spent 20 min. figuring out the introduction and still dont full understantd it. But farther into the book it was easier to understand but still difficult. I am only 13 and this book may have been written for college students or adults so that may have been one reason I dont unerstand so well but once you start picking it up you learn a lot of stuff about the human anatomy. THIS IS GREAT FOR COMIC BOOK ARTISTS, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ARTIST.

Still the best anatomy book around,
By
This review is from: Constructive Anatomy (Paperback)
I have nearly ten anatomy books and this is the one I grab for most when I need to solve an anatomy problem while drawing or sketching. For the most part, Bridgman first simplifies complex anatomy problems into simple structures before exploring the muscle patterns into more complex detail. This allows the artist to see the particular anatomy problem as a proportional mass rather than a complex network of muscle fibers. For me, this makes the human anatomy much more accessible. For instance, he will take the torso and break it down into simple objects like cubes, triangles, and planes, illustrate them in their proper proportions, and then move forward into to more precise detail. I find this book not just educational but as a great reference as well.
