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.

Es un libro muy interesante, los graficos y la impresin son muy buenos, fcil de entender, realmente es un libro que vale toda la pena comprarlo y aprender de el, la anatomia es algo que los artistas digitales 3D no debemos pasar por alto.___It is a very interesting book, the graphics and printing are very good, easy to understand, it really is a book that is worth buying and learning from it, anatomy is something that 3D digital artists should not overlook.
