Morpho: Simplified Forms: Anatomy for Artists: 2 (Morpho: Anatomy for Artists)

Description:

This small, portable book presents a unique perspective on the human body for artists to study and implement in their drawing work. In this book, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella simplifies the human body into basic, synthetic shapes and forms, offering profound insight for artists of all kinds, sparking the imagination and improving one's observational abilities. Rather than going the traditional route of memorizing a repertoire of poses, Lauricella instead stresses learning this small collection of forms, which can then be combined and shaped into the more complex and varied forms and postures we see in the living body.

                Descriptive and easy to follow. An excellent companion for the budding artist venturing into the world of life drawing . Reinforces your understanding of proportions, shape and form as akin to the human anatomy.

                5.0 out of 5 stars Good for artists

                K. · 3 August 2024

                This book will be very useful for artists, its very detailed in body movement and flexibilty. Worth buying.

                5.0 out of 5 stars Short but sweet

                J. · 4 March 2020

                For artists that want to improve drawing from imagination this is a great little book with some excellent examples on how to simplify anatomical forms. It particularly helped me with some of the tricky to decipher areas like the hips.I personally prefer this to some of the more renowned instructional books such as loomis or bridgeman. Loomis’ book is too wordy for me and I’m personally not a fan of how his figures look. Bridgeman has the style nailed but his drawings are loose and abstract and the text is like reading some cryptic language.This book however is simple, easy to understand, and most importantly the drawings themselves look great.

                4.0 out of 5 stars Really good, a bit small!

                R. · 7 October 2022

                These books are excellent pocket guides to anatomy, the illustrations are all high quality and good to reference- and the text is readable! They're really good for helping improve drawing from imagination. It also opens and lays flat, which is brilliant for referencing.However, pocket guide is literal. These are only A5 and are no bigger than 1-2 cm. The images on the listing don't do the actual size of this book justice, and like a lot of reviews here, I was expecting something bigger. The binding is also only glued on one side, which does allow the book to lay flat, but makes the book feel a tad flimsy.Despite it's flaws, I'd still reccomend these books, just be aware of the small sizing.

                5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and pocket sized

                This is my first book from the MORPHO series and For someone who likes to go out and study in a café or other social spaces this is perfect. The spine of the book is not attached which makes the book lay flat with little effort nicely so you aren't fighting the pages. the content itself is handy so far and I am only partway through the book.

                5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for every artist

                E.H. · 21 April 2025

                I will be buying all of these books

                3.0 out of 5 stars Would not recommend this for the price or quality

                R. · 24 March 2021

                Quite shocked at the size and quality of this book for the price its very basic and for the price I would not buy it or any over of his books I did look at some of his other titles before this book turned up so glad I did not buy it because they were even more expensiveAs I first opened this book the book cover came away from the spine the cover is too stiff for a paperback book

                5.0 out of 5 stars great

                K.R. · 6 August 2023

                it’s got sections for the different parts of anatomy you’re learning and so many references to follow. i find it super helpful and can already notice an improvement for myself.

                Great pick

                A. · 14 March 2025

                Great book for beginners.. you get to learn anatomy for sketching... I found it helpful when I was starting with sketching characters.

                Semplificazione nella miglior maniera possibile

                T. · 25 January 2024

                Il libro fornisce in maniera semplice e diretta come semplificare il corpo umano,specialmente su articolazioni (come quelle delle spalle). L'unica cosa che posso criticare è l'assenza di un sistema per le proporzioni,quello dovete andare a cercarlo da un'altra parteIl prezzo è più che giustificato,ed è anche di piccoli dimensioni,cosi potete averlo a portata di mano se avete bisogno di consultarlo per riferimentie NO,la rilegatura del libro è cosi,per rendere più facile aprirlo e tenerlo aperto

                Indeed simplified and quite outstanding guide

                E. · 31 December 2023

                First of all, it is small as shown in some of the pics I uploaded. However, it’s not the size, but the content that’s important. It includes sections about Head & Neck, Torso & shoulders, upper limbs & Lower limbs. I’m very visual so I am enjoying the illustrations in itself that I can practice doing right along each page to correct my drawing proportions. I am liking the content so much that I am excited to get more the other Morpho books. If they are like this one, it’s easy to bring anywhere. The price is very affordable considering what is included and easy to take along anywhere I go. I am glad to have purchased this one. It will help me improve a lot. 😁

                C.E. · 1 October 2024

                Libro de bolsillo fácil para practicar el dibujo anatómico. No tiene toda la estructura muscular del cuerpo humano, pero sí para empezar a dibujar cuerpos más realistas.Quiero responder una duda que lamentablemente le da mala nota a estos libros; no están rotos (ver fotos), los libros están cocidos para poder doblar las hojas y que no se cierren como suele pasar en otros libros que están pegados del lomo. No te asustes cuando veas ésto.
