Anatomy is a challenging subject to master when it comes to drawing. With the tricks and techniques mentioned in Sarah Simblet (Author) and John Davis’ (Photographer) book Anatomy for the Artist, I was able to practise my own techniques in drawing the female figure using pencil.

“Anatomy for the Artist is like having your own life-drawing studio in the privacy of your home. Carefully constructed photographs of the human form allow you to see the structure and function of the skeleton and main muscle groups. Six imaginative drawing lessons, each supported with photography, show how to portray the bones, head, rib cage, pelvis, hands, and feet in perspective, from different angles, both in still poses and in movement.”
