Drawing the body beyond bone and muscle

Michel Lauricella’s guide brings fat and skin folds into the study of figure drawing, examining how skin shifts with movement and changes of position. Its simplified, practical approach offers a focused complement to anatomy studies centered on skeleton and musculature, with sections organized by body region: head and neck, torso, and upper and lower limbs. The book is intended as a working reference for drawing practice, and its exposed binding is designed to let it lie flat while in use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Artists studying figure drawing and human anatomy
  • Illustrators working in fine art, fashion, games, comics, or manga
  • Beginners through professional artists seeking a reference on skin and fat folds

Book overview

The must-have guide for all artists who draw the human figure!

In Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human body. The typical approach to teaching anatomy and the sketching of the human form most often focuses on the skeleton and musculature. What often goes ignored is the skin itself--how it moves and the expressions it creates as the body moves and changes positions. This book presents a simplified and practical vision of the fat and skin folds of the human body to help you in your drawing studies, encouraging both accuracy and a rich, diverse representation of the human form.

 

Geared toward artists of all levels--from beginners through professionals--this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.

 

(Publisher's Note: This book features an "exposed" binding style. This is intentional, as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.)
