Excellent reference for the multidisciplinary artist

This book is fantastic for multidisciplinary artists. Not only does it provide extensive reference for 2D traditional artists, but also traditional sculptors and digital sculptors too! Must-have for anyone interested in portraiture or character design.

Fantastic Resource

A beautifully presented book on the subject. Glad to have this as part of my collection. Would have liked to see a more in depth breakdown of muscles and some ecorches, but still a very good learning resource.
