Hello, thank you for the video, just to add a bit of unnecessary information, "Paul Richer" is pronounced "Paul Rishé" (like in "cliché") He was French

I found out the copy of the Barcsay book I have is a revised edition Put out in 1995The thing that I dislike about the Barcsay book is the drawings of the heads Thanks for making the video I learned a lot I'll definitely have to read some of the books you suggested

After watching your video I looked at my copy of the bars cay book You are correct the descriptive paragraphs are separate from the art How the book works is each page has Roman numerals at the top The paragraphs contain Roman numerals that corraspond with the Roman numerals on the pages on the illustration pages

I would say Michale Hampton's book s geared towards Concept artists It playes well for anyone doing character design for entertainment industry I have taken his class with CGMA he also publishes his instruction on YouTube from time to time Great instructor imo

Very helpful reviews of these books! I see not a lot of people have still checked out Roberto Osti's books, which AFAIK are the newest published on the topic I'd love to learn what you think about them
Comment from : @RyanParreno

there are many manuals on artistic anatomy I appreciated the review you gave Classics such as The Human Figure by john Vanderpoel, the texts by Burne Hogarth and Michel Lauricella inspired by the Bridgman construction method were missing in Italy I hear excellent reviews regarding the Lolli men's structure, it seems very rich in information and drawings on the anatomical structure even in movement Also roberto osti books Anyway it is difficult to indicate which is the best manual text, it depends on what you are looking for, on the time that each person wants to spend studying the subject, on the level of previous knowledge I agree that gray is actually for medical scholars the netter is fascinating, for those who love illustration among other things, he, a painter, decided to study medicine apparently encouraged by his family to earn a living and thus he shared his passion for drawing and painting, frank netter becoming perhaps the most famous anatomical illustrator of the last century However, in my opinion, artistic anatomy must be practiced and understood with the live subject, whether as a model or even by observing oneself a book can never convey the 3D shape and the ability to observe and analyze a subject like in life drawing There are also artistic anatomy apps in which it is possible to rotate the 3D model and break it down observing, observing and practicing allows the mind to memorize the shape and you can gradually draw from memory and imagination It is no coincidence that the great painters of the past also studied anatomy through cadavers, in the smallest details, just think of Leonardo's stupendous drawings today technology has taken away our spirit of observation a bit, we are too bombarded by images; paradoxically this deprives us of imagination and fantasy

I'm a figurative sculptor for over thirty years and have not seen that Goldfinger book but am going to get a copy so thanks for sharing that I own many anatomy books and honestly the most insightful books I ever procured were from George Bridgman; his understanding of mechanics, form, balance and composition were essential in my growth as a young artist Thanks for this video and the adult no nonsense presentation Cheers
Comment from : @williampaquet6573

A list of the books in the description would be super helpful!
Comment from : @Enhancedlies

Well done Alan I have several of the books you reviewed - including Richer and Goldfinger and I find myself getting overwhelmed with information I don't have the Winslow book but I will pick it up soon Thank you!
