Mind you, I don’t mind the binding itself as they made that choice for a reason, but overall the whole thing is so floppy it feels cheap. Right now, paired with the lay-flat binding, I almost feel like the book is going to fall apart in my hands. The interior pages wouldn’t be bad for a hardcover book, but for a paper back they really should have been beefed up. The cover is way too thin and does little to protect a book of this heft. Speaking of paper quality, the overall feel of the book is surprisingly cheap. For $65, you’d think I could have gotten a complimentary padded envelope. Maybe it sat somewhere humid on its trip to me, or maybe it’s just a side-effect of the paper quality. My book came out of the package with a slight waviness to it, like slight water damage. Its gonna be long with a lot of pictures, so I’ve put it under a cut.įirst things first, this book arrived in a cheap cardboard envelope. Because boy have I have got SOME OPINIONS. I could only find one other review on the internet, and it was decidedly brief, so I am giving it a go myself. A must have for any aspiring artist digital or traditional.Remember this Kickstarter? I paid $65 CAD for a soft cover copy, and it finally arrived. The result is a volume unlike anything that exists today. The goal: to translate a decades-old sketch into something more relevant to a modern aesthetic. Each angle is neutral, symetrical and unposed showing the front, side and 3/4 front angles in a classic animation turn-around. Each artist recreates the Ideal Male and Female illustrated in their own signature style and without the aid of external reference.
We believe it's time for a refresh.Masters of Anatomy is a collection of artistic anatomy bringing together the work of over 100 famous artists like Adam Hughes, Joe Madureira (Joe Mad), Humberto Ramos, Franciso Herrera and others that have worked for Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, Marvel and D.C. But while the art world has evolved dramatically, these classic references have remained unchanged. Nothing less nothing more.Andrew Loomis created the Ideal Male and Female references over 70 years ago and since then generations of artists have used them to understand the complex proportions of human anatomy. What we've done is present 200 unique figures in the three most helpful angles. In the end you're left with a heavy volume where only a handful of pages are of any use.
This diminishes the concept of inventive design. Popular or experimental anatomy is too risky to publish using this model. Scott Campbell, Pascal Campion, Francisco Herrera, Humberto Ramos, Genevieve Tsai, Sean "CHEEKS" Galloway, Chhuy-ing, Shaun Healey "ENDLING", Dean Yeagle, Lois Van Baarle, and many more.The Problem with Anatomy BooksThe biggest problem with current anatomy books is the creative disadvantage of having only one artist who is trying to appeal to the broadest market possible. "The book I wish I had when I was learning to draw."-Humberto RamosThe largest collaboration of international artists for an anatomy paperback book ever, Masters Of Anatomy: The Ideal Body showcases the brilliant work of some of the world's most famous animators, illustrators, cartoonists, game designers and comic-book artists.OVER 800 ANATOMY TURNS BY 130+ FAMOUS ARTISTSJoe Madureira, Adam Hughes, Florian Satzinger, Kim Jung Gi, Samantha Youssef, J.
