Morpho Muscled Bodies
This book presents a simplified and practical vision of the muscular functions of the human body to help you in your drawing studies, encouraging both accuracy and movement.
Bodybuilder athletes offer us an ideal repertoire of shapes and proportions for the representation of the superheroes and superheroines we find in comic books, animated films, cinema, and video games. This book is for those who are interested in the design, modeling, and animation of such characters, whether they're mythical, realistic, or fantastic.
Geared toward artists of all levels-from beginners through professionals-this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity.
Morpho is also crafted to be easily referenced in your sketching journey featuring an "exposed" binding style. This is intentional, as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.
