Anatomy and Drawing
Victor Perard
Barnes & Noble
Nonfiction, Art
****
DESCRIPTION: An artist discusses and demonstrates various points of human anatomy and drawing from life, with many illustrations and diagrams.
REVIEW: Emphasizing drawings over words, Perard certainly covers the subject thoroughly, yet not heavy-handedly. I found his pages and pages of demonstration drawings to be rather helpful. A good addition to any artist's anatomy book pile.
