## Description

An Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists (Dover Anatomy for Artists) : Ellenberger, W.: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Basic paperback but very informative. Lots of black n white detailed images.d - Just what my Husband needed to help him along with the large mythical creatue he is Sculpting.
Review: Very good and fully correct illustrations - Beautifully detailed illustrations showing multiple angles, very good base for creature designers and those with interests in 3d modelling. Only thing I would say is that there is too much focus on the horse and not enough on other species - this would be nitpicking a bit however, because I find that many similar books also focus on the horse as a base - likely something to do with George Stubbs' extensive work and horse anatomy studies in the field. It wouldn't be fair to criticise this book too much on this account, as it's something most anatomy books also do (and a personal bugbear of mine as digitigrade quadrupeds are by far more representative of general mammalia... horses are so highly specialised that many of their features are not applicable to other creatures, so making the lion or the dog the "main" star of such books would make much more sense to me personally) However, I would say that the illustrations on the other species, whilst not as numerous, are all extremely high quality - and also accurate in their posture. I see many books and even mounted skeletons that are incorrect in the stance of the creatures, which is also important for artists.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful art plates
*by M***E on 17 May 2023*

I bought this book to help get proportions right in wool sculptures. The plates are beautiful. It’s a very large book, clear illustrations and several for each animal of different perspectives. As others have said, there are a lot of horses included but plenty of other animals too. Perfect for what I wanted it for but much more interesting and beautiful than I expected.
