An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists: 189 Plates: Enlarged Revised Edition with 85 New Plates from Leonardo, Rubens, Michelangelo, Muybridge, Vesalius, et al. (Dover Anatomy for Artists)

This is an absolutely excellent anatomy book for any artist. The prints are very high quality and excellently rendered. I highly recommend this to any aspiring artist who cannot study from life or just wants a good basic understanding of human anatomy.

Bought because it was cheap and I wanted to learn to draw more anatomy. I wouldn't take the book 100% of the way, but it's a great start that can help you start seeing anatomy in any of your references. I really like this book. I like working out of a tangible book more than the internet as well.

The media could not be loaded. I love this Atlas of Anatomy for Artist book! In the first pages, have a index with the topics, and a page number. The book call "plates" as the pages and have a consice description of the body parts, and it's a bonus because the information it's short and have plenty images, photos, examples from the Masters in Drawing like Michelangelo. It also has real photos of people and their different gestures, in different positions and tasks, which makes this book very interesting! Each human part is in various positions and marked in color so as not to confuse. The book is not very big, and it is not heavy. I highly recommend it, because it is a good reference to look each part of the human body as you need it. Very good book for artists and students! I don't regret buying it. I love it so much!

good collection of references, wish it was a little bigger & coil bound (like spring notebook) so it was easier to reference while having it on the book stand or my desk.

Bought this book for my amazing at drawing 7yr old grandson. But there is some graphic nudity that might not be right for this age group. Nothing vulgar or offensive, but realistic drawing of private areas & adult genitals. Just to help others make informed decisions.

As an Animation student we are required to learn, practice and always draw the figure. I have been doing figure drawing for 2 years now trying to find a book that would let me see the skeleton first, then the head, work down the body and start with the muscles in a clear, simple and complete way. This is the only book that has all of this and I've seen a lot. It is cheap and it has everything an artists needs to have a good understanding of anatomy. It has a lot of detail but not too much that an artist wouldn't care. It's perfect.

This book is exactly what I was looking for! This seller kept this book in prestige condition! It is a paper back book with no tears, folds or any blemishes on the book. The book doesn’t even look used! Will definitely buy from this seller again!

This is a great anatomy book to have in any figure drawing artist's library. One of the best books actually that I have, and I do have many anatomy books. The figures are very well illustrated and many of them are in large drawing plates. It is a rather concise book, which is nice as it focuses on the main concepts from skeletal, muscular and illustrative figures.The illustrations when placed side-by-side with the muscle diagrams are quite valuable and helps in understanding how to correctly shade the muscle on the figure.Overall, there are 189 different plates covering the entire human anatomy for artists.This is one of the best book that we have at art school as an anatomy reference available for us in the art studio. However, I like it so much I wanted to get my own copy. I bought it used and now I'm regretting that decision.This is the third used books in my library but I'm quite disappointed (hence, the overall rating). The description indicated 'Very Good Condition' and I saw many satisfaction reviews given to the seller. However, the book is not in very good condition by any standard. It came in a very nice plastic tight packaging. With the original book sleeve (I bought the hard cover copy). Other than that, the pages are yellowish color and they do smell like old books. The feel and the smell of the book indicates it was not kept well. The cover is stained from the inside. That doesn't bother me, it is the old feel and smell of the book that do. Even though there are no missing pages, no wrinkled pages or stained pages. It is just was not kept well. Maybe it is my standard, but I would have listed it as "Good" instead.
