Christopher Hart, "Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist: How to Draw

the New Streamlined Look of Action-Adventure Comics"
Watson-Guptill | 2007 | ISBN: 0823047733 | 160 pages | PDF | 108.49 Mb

Maybe you've noticed. The heroes of today's action heroes are not muscle as

muscles as before. In fact, the books of nearly every character in comic

books and television have a fresh new look - simplified, efficient and sharp,

with a touch of anime cartoon / design, attractive to children and adults

alike. Now Christopher Hart, the superhero of how picture books, came to the

rescue of artists everywhere with Simplified Anatomy for the comic artist.

Anatomy has always been a difficult issue, but this book Hart uses his simple

approach to show a simpler way. Drawings - step by step plain text, shows:

how to draw characters and effective features, body types and muscles, the

mechanics of facial expression, how to know which muscles to prevent an

abstract painting, group muscle muscular contour compared with the contours

of bone and muscle classic book, comic poses like flying fists and more. Now

the artist can stop struggling with the finer points of modern anatomy and

start creating heroes and heroines who look with simple anatomy and the

comic.
