Product Description
This innovative approach focuses upon the specifics of surface anatomy. 177 of Sheppard's drawings show many different live models in front, back, and side views, and in various standing, sitting, kneeling, crouching, reclining, and twisting poses. Each drawing is accompanied by two diagrams, one for bones, one for muscles.

This review is from: Drawing the Living Figure (Paperback)
This book has some good detailed artwork in it, but its instruction isn't as detailed as hoped. Its not sitting somewhere on my bookshelf forgotten. Suggest a better alternative would be Jack Hamm's "Drawing The Head and Figure", around the same price, very detailed yet simple to read through.

Anatomy reference book with beautiful life drawings,
By
This review is from: Drawing the Living Figure (Paperback)
"Joseph Sheppard has been favorably compared to practically every Renaissance master... he is without peer among modern realists for his ability to impart warm verisimilitude to the figure" -- Artspeak Magazine That's the quote on the back cover. I've my doubts on that comparison but after looking at the figure drawings, yes, it seems the praise is well deserved. Drawing the Living Figure uses life drawings from models to teach human anatomy. Joseph Sheppard has included 70 drawings of models in different poses, from standing to reclining. Most are accompanied by two diagrams, one for bones and other for muscles, showing how they affect surface form. These drawings are carefully annotated and selective parts are highlighted. I prefer this book a bit more than Anatomy Lessons from the Great Masters, which has a similar teaching style. The difference is here it doesn't include rough sketches, each piece is a refined completed figure drawing. The drawings are detailed, clear and beautiful. No prior knowledge of anatomy is required to enjoy this book. It's great for beginner to advanced artists as an alternative reference. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

This review is from: Drawing the Living Figure (Paperback)
This book is both useful and economical. It covers male and female nudes in different positions and angles (3/4, side, frontal).
