Selected drawings superimposed over photographs reveal fascinating relationships between external appearance and internal structure.
Six drawing classes guide the reader to see the human body afresh, offering techniques and attitudes that imagiatively show how to observe and draw the skeleton. head, ribcage, pelvis, hands and feet.
