Bridgman Anatomy
It is one of the best drawing books I know, and has a chapter devoted to anatomy and another to physiology. It is an excellent training for beginners, which provides a lot of information about anatomy, physiology, anatomy theory and the anatomy of human anatomy.
There is no student, no serious artist, no amateur or professional who could not benefit greatly from Bridgman's lessons. Unfortunately, it is not comparable to the sequel Anatomy Lessons of the Great Masters. It has great pictures, but the text is a lifeless reportage, and Hale didn't even write it to use his name. I attended Hale's lectures at the Art Students League and made at least a dozen mistakes, as if the transcriber didn't understand the material.
It will probably revive your work in human form, but it's not worth the price of a copy of Bridgman's Anatomy Lessons.
, which contains over a thousand anatomical drawings and was taught during his studies at the Acole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Since then, generations of students have learned the principles of anatomy and figure drawing from his book, which is one of the most important books in the history of human anatomy in America.
Bridgman's other books deal with the subject of human anatomy, which continues to fascinate him to this day. He praised "The Book of a Hundred Hands," he wrote, "because I could not find an instructive publication that, in my opinion, adequately conveys how an artist should approach these complex aspects.
The book's introduction does not mention Renaissance art, but reflects on the works Bridgman studied. Frazetta's plans to study in Italy came to an end, and he continued his studies at the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. He remained with his wife and children in Paris and New York for the rest of his life while studying the work.
Frazetta, always eager to know, received a copy of George Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy and went to the far corner of the bookstore to follow George Bridgman's life drawing. Mayo appreciated the style he had developed over the years, but he was unable to teach him to fully understand human anatomy.
The first thing you will notice is that the drawings in the book are very rough, and that is what I mean by that, because compared to Hogarth's book, the drawing here is a very simplistic line drawing.
The instruction to students is to draw fully modeled images based on loose sketches, and the drawings are reproduced in Bridgman's scratchy style. The drawings contain all the information needed to understand anatomy, but they contain very little detail, only a few lines.
To underpin the lesson, the same area is staked out again and again with reference photos of athletes. There was a video series that focused on a certain hot artist in the early 1990s and discussed how the artist drew comics. Jim Lee showed some gesture drawings and mentioned that he was not someone who memorized muscles, but paid more attention to gestures and studied George Bridgman.
The truth is that when you want to draw comics, information comes from a variety of sources. In the world of comics Jim was basically a rock star, and the book is what I refer to when I need a reference for anatomy or a certain pose. Image comics are new, but they are a great source of information for anyone interested in the art of drawing.
If you have a book that covers all of this, it is a good choice because of its breadth and contains dozens of helpful hints and pages that are great for simplifying drawing problems. You should also include it in your studies to study some of Jim's other books, such as his book on the anatomy of the human body, as well as a number of his other works.
Reed has a very unsubtle anatomy, but his approach is so solid that it is very similar to that of his friend and colleague Dr. William H. Braddock.
The title of this article is an anatomy book, but remember that there are so many different anatomy books, and it is not the time to write a new one every time. Instead, I will focus on the books that seem most helpful to me, and examine each new book to see if I can learn anything from it.
If you want to start with the purchase of reference works, you can ask yourself the same question over and over again:
The New York Times, the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, among many others) and many other publications, but also many others.

The Complete Guide to Drawing for Life is a compilation that gives you the best little books. You can find out the strategies and subtleties by studying the classic drawings by Hale in Bridgman, but you don't need a book to explain them to your teacher.
