内容説明
An innovative approach to artistic anatomy that, rather than depicting muscles and bones, focuses upon the specifics of surface anatomy. Over l70 of Joseph 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, specifically demonstrating how the surface forms were created by the definitive shapes beneath the skin. 177 illustrations. Introduction. Index.

: Parka Singapore - 2009年10月9日Anatomy reference book with beautiful life drawings
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3H5W1ESFHPNOP "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.

: R. Ordoyo Los Angeles, CA USA - 2009年4月17日More like an Anatomy book.
I didn't expect this book to be more like an anatomy guide. It has scientific labels on the different muscles and skeletal parts. I was hoping to get just an illustration book on the human figure. This one is more of a scientific reference. The illustrations are very well done though.
: Daquan Wright New Jersey - 2008年11月2日Great Anatomy Basics
Are you an aspiring artist looking for anatomy basics and need to know a bit about muscle and bone structure?
This book is for you. It's not an "all you can do with a pencil guide or anything of that nature." Instead it focuses on anatomy with bone, muscle, and skin structure. It gives you three steps for every drawing, starting with the skeleton and let me tell you I've been drawing skulls repeatedly to gain an understanding of the human skull and how it works. It's splendid, if you're wanting to splurge into the human anatomy and don't have deep pockets, this is a great buy. Buy it if you need to study the human skull, bones in general, or practice life drawing. Every drawing has a completed and shaded model to boot. I will purchase more anatomy books for additional knowledge but this is a great buy for the aspiring artist.
: S. Jenkins Torrance CA - 2007年2月20日Absolutely love it
As someone else mentioned, this goes in with my George Bridgman books. The terminology is simple, and doesn't get too medical. I really loved the variety of figures used, though I'd love to see more plus sized models in the male side and a more plump female figure.
Sheppard lays out key points in observing how muscles and bones affect the surface anatomy of a figure. It shows you how for example the pelvis shows up and how muscle and fat distribution affects the legs, hips etc.
Sheppard is rather concise and to the point, where many other anatomy books become too technical and you end up getting lost in the details.
The other thing to mention is the price. Bridgman and Sheppard's books are rather inexpensive compared to many other anatomy and figure drawing books out there. This is a definite selling point!
: Steven Larsen Philadelphia, USA - 2005年11月8日Just What You Need
Between the simplified cartoon anatomy books, popular today, and the detailed treatments inspired by medical textbooks, is this fine work. This book is built from the ground up for artists. By focusing on surface anatomy, showing its relation to underlying muscle and bone structure, and then presenting it all with a multitude of useful and expertly done drawings, Sheppard has produced what may be the finest anatomical artist reference.
Most professional artists recommend Bridgeman's works. I don't doubt the usefulness of Bridgeman to a true working professional, but for me, and maybe other amateurs, the concepts in Bridgeman never seem to reveal themselves. Sheppard will be useful the first time you open the book and will certainly clear much of the confusion in figure drawing.
