Today's superheroes and action heroes aren't as brawny and muscular as they used to be.

Now Christopher Hart, the superhero of how-to-draw books, has come to the rescue of artists everywhere with "Simplified" "Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist." Anatomy has always been a difficult subject, but for this book Hart uses his straightforward approach to show a simpler way. In clear step-by-step illustrations and text, he shows: how to draw streamlined figures in poses; body types and muscles; the mechanics of facial expression; how to know which muscles to eliminate in a simplified drawing; grouping muscles; muscle contours versus bone contours; muscles in classic comic-book poses like flying and punching; and more. Now artist can stop struggling with the fine points of anatomy and start creating modern looking heroes and heroines with help from "Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist." |
