Anatomy for the artist

todays update are few beautiful images from the book Anatomy for the Artist by Sarah Simblet. This book is one of the first books i got as a young artist trying to learn and improve. As a older but relatively still young artist I find my self going back and reading things over, art tip… copying the drawings and photographs is a good way to sharpen ones skills. enjoy!
