Morpho: Muscled Bodies: Anatomy for Artists (Morpho: Anatomy for Artists, 7)

this book is great if you want more tutorials/tips and info about learning how to draw muscles!

I like some of the references in this collection, however I feel like its kind slapped together and lacks any helpful tips. Most of the pages are poor quality sketches. I thought these books would help me improve the way I approach my art but all they do it sit on a shelf because its worth maybe a skim through once or twice and then its useless.

The book from this same series for Hands and Feet seemed to be an excellent study of hands and feet. This book on muscled bodies was the exact same size and shape of the other book which didn't seem to be very detailed, considering it was covering the entire body. I learned a few things from Muscled Bodies, but it seemed to rely a lot on a couple of body types and some common bodybuilder poses.

I’m really happy I took the plunge and bought this book. In different art circles that worship guide books everyone is so quick to pull out Loomis or Bridgeman. They may be fantastic artists, but Morpho is in depth in a way that artists understand. I don’t want to draw an idealized form from 60 years ago, I want to know how things really work. It’s refreshing and very helpful to see poc figures included so well. I’ve become a fan.What to expect from this book:The artist goes into great detail (at most times he can be verbose, but more is better than less when explanation is involved) in how the muscles wrap, flex, contract, and shift under the skin.The book is separated into different categories of the body, like : veins, torso, trunk, upper and lower arms, etc. there are so many good references.The binding is very cool too. (The binding is exposed so it lays flat on the table)It speaks as a book made by an artist for an artist.

It makes for a great pocketbook for traveling, and good for comic book art, the only reason I give it a three is that the poses are from a bodybuilding magazine, and some of the drawings weren't thought out, looks like he was rushing it just to make a quick buck. I feel that it was made for beginners you can judge for yourself.

Very clear and detailed illustrations, made studying anatomy a lot less of a challenge. I will say it is not for the novice artist, I would say it would be for an experienced artist looking to expand their skillset.I have mixed feelings about the way the book itself was bound, it lets the book lay completely flat so it is easy to reference while drawing, but it makes a horrible creaking sound. I’m sensitive to sound so it’s probably only a me problem, but I felt it was worth noting.

Great muscle reference. I have bigger better more comprehensive anatomy books but I love the size of this series— so I end up using them more. You can just open the ones you want or take those with you and they open flat. Really detailed clean pictures that are easy to understand. Not much rendering in the drawings but the line art is excellent for references.

Really informative and detailed book with really clear descriptions and illustrations! It's pretty small and portable, I bring it with me so I could read and study it while I'm at work! 10/10 would recommend if you need a handy reference book.

Bom

This is A6 sized book lol. Other than the pocket size, it's as expected

Muy bien explicado y las ilustraciones me encantaron, lo que me sirvió para entender ciertas funcione musculares que no comprendía.

I was told Morpho's books are fantastic for artists, lots of people seem to adore them. I can get why, his style is very nice, the instructions are clear but.. What a lot of reviews and people do not say is you will get ripped off.I have bought a lot of his books now, including two for general bodies and two for muscled bodies. As I was looking through both of my muscled bodies one, I noticed a lot of the pages were identical.So I started to look through each book from page one to the end and guess what? They *are* identical but sold as a separate book with the idea of having new or different pages. They do not. They are the exact same pages.It was frustrating considering how much I had spent in the end, but it was my own fault as well.If you are starting up, the illustrations are very clear, easy to follow, etc, but be weary buying multiple from the sets.
