In MORPHO from rockynook, Michel Lauricella presents both his artistic and systematic methods for drawing the human body with drawing techniques from the écorché (showing the musculature and bone structure beneath the skin) to dynamic sketches of models in action. In more than 1000 illustrations the human body is shown from a new perspective-from bone structure to musculature, from anatomical detail to the body in motion. Lauricella believes that only by learning basic human anatomy can one's drawing skills be perfected. Morpho is a rich, fascinating, and essential book that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey.
