5.0 out of 5 stars Complexe mais ça vaut la peine, Jan 15 2005
This review is from: The Human Machine (Paperback)
Si vous êtes vraiment interessé à comprendre le fonctionnement de l'anatomie humaine afin de mieux dessiner, c'est le livre qu'il vous faut. Amplement illustré avec des schémas simples, toutes les parties du corps y passent.

Facile à comprendre, malgré la mise en forme discutable (voir p. 60 où un des dessins est carrément à l'envers!!!). On déplore que certains dessins manque de définition. Et le fait qu'il soit écrit en anglais (un très vieil anglais à la limite du compréhensible) peut en rebuter quelques uns.

Je vous le suggère néanmoins, car c'est un excellent livre, comme la plupart des autres titres de Bridgman. Ce livre est un 'must' avec probablement "Constructive Anatomy" aussi de Bridgman. Une bonne alternative serait d'acheter "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life: Over 1,000 Illustrations" disponible sur Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, Mar 22 2003
By 
Nathan (New York, where else?) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Human Machine (Paperback)
It's amazing, I haven't even begun to read it, I've only copied the pictures, and I'm already doing much, much better! Obviously, I intend to read the book, since it would make my work even better. This is one of the best anatomy books I've ever looked at. Even though I haven't read it yet, it's indespible. Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, July 9 2002
By 
"artshogun" (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Human Machine (Paperback)
After purchasing too many sub-par reference books on anatomy for artists, I highly recommend the Bridgeman books. This one stresses the hinges and joints of the body and how their bending and twisting movements affect the external shape of a figure. Nobody has studied the figure as long or as intensely as George Bridgeman and it shows in the superb illustrations, many apparantly constructed from memory. For economy of line and accurate sence of under-structure, the illustrations can't be beat. Incidently, "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life" incorperates much of the above book, along with several others, and is a better buy. (It's also a larger format book!)

I also recommend "The Human Figure: An Anatomy for Artists" by David K. Rubins.
