Figurative sculpture anatomical measurements,
By massimomichele (Wrotham. Nr London. UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Human Proportions for Artists (Spiral-bound)
No figurative sculptor can afford to be without this invaluable resource. Even more so if you teach. It gives precise measurements, imperial and metric, for scores of parameters for male and female figures in different sizes; Life size, one third, one quarter etc.
If you identify with the title of my review you should have this book.

Human Proportions for Artists,
By D. Slabaugh (UT) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Human Proportions for Artists (Spiral-bound)
I love this book because it gives many small details on measuring accurately to render a beautiful drawing. It is for those who really want to improve their skill level more than those who are hobbyists. I found it to bring my drawings up several levels and really improve my skills.
