Rich, if you decide to make your own book that helps us all learn to draw and use anatomy you better believe I am going to be among the first ones to pre-order and buy it. This video is a gold mine of catalogues for starter artists looking to get serious about anatomy and drawing. Thank you for uploading!

Any of 5he authors demo oñ KZread ?

I'm somewhat of a complete beginner at drawing, and I was wondering if a beginner could buy Michael Hampton's book (?). If you don't think so, do you have a book you would recommend to me before I buy Hampton's ?

That is a great question. In my opinion, the various books offer different insights into the vast subject of figure drawing. I do not believe there is a particular order in which they should be studied.

I just looked up that Peter Han book on Amazon and it's selling for $550+... What's in this book again?

I will sell you my copy for $450… I am just kidding of course. This happens when books go out of print. Anyway, it is full of great basic knowledge for drawing without reference, training exercises and breaking down complex subjects. Terrific book imo. 550 though… 😅 I think I would hang out and see if they do another print run.

I would love a pdf copy of your works book. If/when you create it.👍

Great idea! Thank you!

Where is a battlefield to know if any author is good.

Any author goes through a lot book page by page ? ?

From Reddit it is extremely expensive for the content you are getting, i do not recommend it at all. it's extremely thin in terms of the density of information you're getting. there's also complaints about the book pushing debunked racist beliefs about how different characterstics in humans emerged and i would agree with the complaints as an example, the section on eyes posits that asians speak "indirectly" because they have epicanthic folds so there's less of the eyeball to make eye contact with, therefore they are shy and less direct in speech. "westerners" (the author means white people) speak directly and are less shy because they don't have epicanthic folds. basically pushing the meek asian stereotype... because of eye folds. the author also uses stereotypical depictions of black people when he is talking about what happens if our features were exaggerated. the author also has really bizarre views of the human form and how it was developed to become "feminine" (this is me paraphrasing). basically, if you've ever seen bad anime/manga of female depiction, the author tries to defend the exaggeration and ridiculous proportions. the content of the actual muscles and bones is not bad and i like the way he organized it, but it's not worth $80 since he provides very little information (it's literally a sentence worth PER MUSCLE GROUP, not even per muscle). to be honest, i highly doubt he's the only one who's organized his anatomy book based on functional purpose vs location on the body. the book in itself is also LITTERED WITH TYPOS AND ERRORS! they are EVERYWHERE, some sentences don't make sense because of the typos. some parts of the diagrams are labeled incorrectly. KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR $80 YOU CANNOT RETURN IT PER THE PUBLISHER'S POLICY. it's just really not worth it. i got the book and i honestly feel like it was one of my biggest cash sinks ever.
