WOW …¡¡ ❤❤❤ I want that Amazing collection of Books 📕

Great overview of some wonderful books - thank you! My first anatomy book was Sheppard's, which I bought (jings) almost 25 years ago, followed by Barcsay, which like you is where I learned the bulk of my anatomy knowledge. I also have numerous others, like Hampton's, and three of Hogarth's from his "dynamic" series (Figures, Anatomy, Hands). There are of course notable mentions when it comes to general figure drawing, eg. Loomis and Bridgman, but when it comes to pure anatomy I think Barcsay ought to be a staple, a good foundation which can be built upon with any of the others.

Great review. Thank you so much.

The Morpho book series is always quite good as is Anatomy for Sculptors by Uldis Zarins

Great review, thanks!

Hello, thank you for the video, just to add a bit of unnecessary information, "Paul Richer" is pronounced "Paul Rishé" (like in "cliché"). He was French.

I found out the copy of the Barcsay book I have is a revised edition. Put out in 1995.The thing that I dislike about the Barcsay book is the drawings of the heads. Thanks for making the video. I learned a lot. I'll definitely have to read some of the books you suggested.

After watching your video. I looked at my copy of the bars cay book. You are correct the descriptive paragraphs are separate from the art. How the book works is each page has Roman numerals at the top. The paragraphs contain Roman numerals that corraspond with the Roman numerals on the pages on the illustration pages.

Super useful video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks

Lovely video, thank you!

very good video. thank you!

Very helpful video, it really helps to understand which book better suits one's needs. Thank you for doing it.

I would say Michale Hampton's book s geared towards Concept artists. It playes well for anyone doing character design for entertainment industry. I have taken his class with CGMA. he also publishes his instruction on UA-cam from time to time. Great instructor imo.

Very helpful reviews of these books! I see not a lot of people have still checked out Roberto Osti's books, which AFAIK are the newest published on the topic. I'd love to learn what you think about them.

there are many manuals on artistic anatomy. I appreciated the review you gave. Classics such as The Human Figure by john Vanderpoel, the texts by Burne Hogarth and Michel Lauricella inspired by the Bridgman construction method were missing. in Italy I hear excellent reviews regarding the Lolli men's structure, it seems very rich in information and drawings on the anatomical structure even in movement. Also roberto osti books. Anyway it is difficult to indicate which is the best manual text, it depends on what you are looking for, on the time that each person wants to spend studying the subject, on the level of previous knowledge I agree that gray is actually for medical scholars. the netter is fascinating, for those who love illustration. among other things, he, a painter, decided to study medicine apparently encouraged by his family to earn a living. and thus he shared his passion for drawing and painting, frank netter becoming perhaps the most famous anatomical illustrator of the last century. However, in my opinion, artistic anatomy must be practiced and understood with the live subject, whether as a model or even by observing oneself. a book can never convey the 3D shape and the ability to observe and analyze a subject like in life drawing. There are also artistic anatomy apps in which it is possible to rotate the 3D model and break it down. observing, observing and practicing allows the mind to memorize the shape and you can gradually draw from memory and imagination. It is no coincidence that the great painters of the past also studied anatomy through cadavers, in the smallest details, just think of Leonardo's stupendous drawings. today technology has taken away our spirit of observation a bit, we are too bombarded by images; paradoxically this deprives us of imagination and fantasy .

Thank you so much sir.

Lionel Hampton? Jazz icon and human anatomy expert. News to me.

Absolutely fascinating and very thought provoking. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the sharing. A good book too, is from Roberto Osti The anatomy Humain. ☕👋

I'm a figurative sculptor for over thirty years and have not seen that Goldfinger book but am going to get a copy so thanks for sharing that. I own many anatomy books and honestly the most insightful books I ever procured were from George Bridgman; his understanding of mechanics, form, balance and composition were essential in my growth as a young artist. Thanks for this video and the adult no nonsense presentation. Cheers.

A list of the books in the description would be super helpful!

Fantástico trabalho, abordagem e dinâmica ótima!

Muy buena tu pintura ,muy expresiva y gestual se nota que eres un buen dibujante

Great series on color Alan. Very well done. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

Thank you Mr. Mcgowen I feel like I can really understand what emotions colors can carry and how important are to the context of the painting. Thank you so much.

Well done Alan. I have several of the books you reviewed - including Richer and Goldfinger and I find myself getting overwhelmed with information. I don't have the Winslow book but I will pick it up soon. Thank you!

Brilliant! The whole thing, music, demonstration everything !

Bonjour ! Ça nous ressemble Lucian Freud! Je suis brésilien...

Have been asking myself this question all my life, still haven't figured it out other than the fact that I do it, haven't made a dime, but so far have kept my soul.

Very nice talk. Thank you

Thank You from Brazil!

Thank you - great info

Glad I found this. Thanks for sharing

Quite to the point actually as it is possible to support your perspective through so many artisans work over a very long period of time. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. This is also what it’s all about.

Thanks for sharing! This view you describe reminds me of Heideggers key concerns : who we are , what is our true state of being , the difference between mere being and BEING. Care being the main expression of Being . Art as the vehicle to express BEing. And how art can unveil or uncover what he describes as our authentic being - as distinct from the inauthentic ways we exist.

describing art with words,is like hunting with a slightly outdated banana, a tad floppy/smelly, poop

Just found you and these.....fantastic, thank you for sharing

I too really enjoyed this Alan. As a photographer I am interested in why we make pictures for their own sake and what it is that drives artists to create. What did that early human experience and why did he /she make a picture of their hand on the cave wall ?

Is there a video

Love your work Alan!

Thank you

Hi Alan. Really great explanation of color on all 3 of these videos. I've been painting for many years but seem to steer away from desaturated colors. Very influenced by abstract expressionism. I just recently started using more grays and trying to make my color more specific in the main areas I want to emphasize. Very hard for me to do though. Would you say Van Gogh used much gray or desaturated colors? Would love to see you break down one of his paintings. Thanks again!
