2024 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This instructive book presents excellent annotated line drawings of anatomical structure for the beginning artist. Explaining the subject in simple terms and with an extensive series of dynamic illustrations, the author identifies parts of the body and demonstrates a wide array of physical activities through his sketches. Following notes on proportion and drawing, chapters cover the human skeleton, head and neck, torso, arm, hand, leg, foot, and musculature. Numerous illustrations depict various views of these structures, movements of the human figure, as well as changes in the relative proportions of features at different ages. One of the best books in its field, Anatomy and Drawing helps demystify a complex subject by enabling students to visualize the muscles and bones under the skin, and covers just about everything a beginner needs to know about drawing the human anatomy. Its fullness of information is given in simple clear form, in the manner of the accomplished draftsman. The human figure, under its various condition of age, sex and action has been so completely recorded, in its larger aspects as with details; the mechanism of the body-its bone structure, sinews and muscles so thoroughly studied and presented, that your work is nothing short of an encyclopedia; and all this within reasonable limits and in excellent form. REVIEWS: I am astonished at the amount of study, research and orderly execution that was required for the making of your "Anatomy and Drawing." A very instructive book is Victor Perard's "Anatomy and Drawing.Its numerous and explicit drawings are of great value to the art student; to the beginner it serves to stimulate the interest and to realize the need of anatomical knowledge-for the advanced student and the artist it refreshes the memory in a vivid and thorough way. Mr. Victor Perard has given to artists and art students a very fine book on human anatomy.I have strongly recommended it to students attending lectures on anatomy as it is clear, definite, and very workable. The author thoroughly understands the muscles and bone structure, and also knows how to present the subject most interestingly to beginners and students. At last the mystery of drawing has been unfolded to future artists through the simple, carefully systematized methods of your book "Anatomy and Drawing." The knowledge you impart renders the artist's effort easier, gives his drawing more freedom, character and interest, thus enabling him to dispose more readily of his work.

There are many good ones out there, and I have them all, but this is the source I go to first. Line drawings, individual as well as masses of muscle, and the skeleton in whole and in part from many angles, make this the go-to resource. Absolutely essential resource if you draw or paint the human body.

excellent reference book for artists
Written, i think, in 1928, this book gives wonderful drawings of all kinds of views of human anatomy, to create a solid understanding of everything from neck angles and spines, facial proportions, to fingers and feet. Worth having in your library.
