Description Lately, I’ve been working my way through “The Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist” By Stephen Rogers Peck. Which is available for purchase HERE if you are interested.

This is a pretty awesome book, I think it helps simplify the terminology enough so the reader isn’t too overwhelmed. More importantly, Peck includes multiple drawings where he simplifies the idea he’s trying to convey. This is especially important for beginners learning to draw. Often times, you can get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff going on in the human body, but when you see a simply drawn diagram with a simple analogy to go with it (e.g. to think of the human clavicles as a cupid’s bow) it helps convey a complex idea simply. If you’re interested in learning to draw more realistically, or familiarize yourself more with human anatomy, I definitely recommend this book.
