[request_ebook] Dynamic Anatomy


This is a very good reference book for learning to draw the human figure in action. Burne Hogarth breaks down the figure into extremely exagerated/distorted shapes ("dynamic") as a way of understanding it's structure. He is a master of explaining the figure geometrically, and it's a useful perspective to be exposed to. There is a lot to be learned here, and his style is pretty interesting, but without a more realistic artistic anatomy book to supplement it, Dynamic Anatomy would be pretty misleading; people simply don't look the way Hogarth draws them.
