Anatomy and Realism Reference Books

If I am not drawing and sketching then I can at least spend my time reading about it. :)

I spent some time in my local Chapters store and found two more good books on drawing the human form.

Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces by Carrie Stuart Parks is the first book. As well as having the ever repeated notions on proportions, I picked it up as it has a lot of good detail orientated information. Focusing on specific shading, creases and using reflected light.

Human Anstomy Made Amazingly Easy by Christopher Hart is also good as it is more orientated toward the freedom of the pose. It covers others areas of anatomy along with muscle and bone structure and gives you a good look into what makes our bodies up and why they look the way they do.

I hope to be posting some more sketches and painting later in the week.
