Michael Hampton's Figure drawing book is my all time favourite book when it comes to the human figure and I've read George Bridgman, Andrew Loomis, tomfoxdraws and even Rock He Kim despite not understanding Korean. Yet I still come back to Hampton the most.

I think Anatomy for Sculptors is helpful. Because it was designed with sculpture in mind. You really see the 3d forms of the different muscles and body parts. It's really helpful just for sketching too.

Stonehouse's is *AMAZING*. I've never seen anything so indepth, so it's no wonder it took him a decade to compile, edit and draw it. Hamptons books good, but there are some ever so slight errors to his anatomy (atleast in my version). It is a great breakdown into the main muscles you need to learn and little ways to simplify them though.

There are not books out there that cover the basics, one of my favourites is "Art for Kids: Drawing." Books that say they are for "beginners" have a different definition of the word than myself. They start of well the vier of in another direction. Another I like is "Basic Drawing" by Christopher Hart.
most drawing books you find down your local Library like Barrington Barber. but that situation may have changed because I asked them to get me over 10 excellent drawing books - until they got fed up and told me: no more. if the book is very good they tend to get quickly stolen. Like Andrew Loomis.
The Guide Artists books have books by the best painters and sculptors in the world. They release one to two books per month. It's really a luxury nowadays!
Ive got the creative perspective book suggested by glenn villpu , still having a hard time using any of it, my drawing forms always ends up intuitive and my horizons end up always being about a third down the page
few years ago?O_o you are a genius. i have 96 design stubs for videogames (a handful of those intended remakes or rather remasters and refinement) I have times of ingenius imagination artworkwise everything propper on those, but not very frequented imaginations. Perhaps i am more intended towards natural fittings (because i have genius bubbles whenever i pour the liquid), BUT i cannot draw and proceeding to draw whatever 3d in my mind shuts off the imagination (seems like my motions are digging primarily proven functional things stored inside my brain). but perhaps i will be able to improve upon this (i drawn a few from frontal and sideways views).
lol I've already got every book on this list except the Stonehouse Anatomy book you mention, which is on my Amazon wishlist hahaha glad to know I've got a solid foundation already at my fingertips. I personally find Perspective Made Easy to be quite boring though honestly. Something about the old fashioned writing and dull colors make every page feel like they run together after a while, alongside the written "homework" orders at the end of every chapter. I found that I made a lot more progress a lot faster by using Matthew Brehm's Perspective: How to See It and How to Apply It. It's a lot of the same concepts obviously, but with a more modern day approach, and reference photos of the topic at hand alongside color drawings as examples helped me to wrap my head around the subjects much easier, especially relating to everyday life in a small city. It just resonated a little better to me. Don't get me wrong though, Perspective Made Easy is still a solid choice and I refer to it first when I need help with a perspective issue because it's still easy to digest, I just found it boring to work with as a starting point. There are a thousand different books on perspective so really it's pick your poison, but Perspective Made Easy won't steer anyone wrong even if it feels a little monotonous. And especially for such a small price tag to boot. I'd also nominate Anatomy for Sculptors, as a few others have mentioned. It's a very no-nonsense guide to anatomy, but it definitely works better as a supplemental book to go with any other anatomy books you already have.
im an absolute begginer in regards to anathomy. I shoudl learn something before I start anathomy then? like I should focus on some book about gesture drawing first,a dn then go to anathomy, or that last book you showed covers it too?
Michael Hampton's is constructive anatomy from imagination. It can be used to even draw creatures & monsters say for animation. Steven Houston is purely observation. You draw what you see and how to see. Also Houston talk about his choice of art materials and how to employ them.
Never heard of the Stonehouse book but now I will buy it! Thank you and love your content by the way! By the way I have those other books and they are amazing!
relieved to see i’m not the only one who felt this lol. it’s undoubtedly thorough and well done, but the self-insert cartoons meant to add a comedic touch straight up have racist caricatures and extreme misogyny
I’ve not come across anything. Although there is a disclaimer on the website explaining that there may be some misunderstandings which stems from cultural differences between the author and reader

How do you understand Hamptons book it's too messy for me to understand

All terrible books
@@reginaldforthright805 yes when you get to a good level of drawing you just make your own drawing books but we need to start somewhere.
@@reginaldforthright805 why do you think that

i waited 3 years to get that book. Finally got it. Love it. Sometimes they offer discount on their website like Xmas.
How to Draw - Scott Robinson
Perspective Made Easy - Ernest Norling
Stonehouse's Anatomy - superani
Figure Drawing: Design and Invention - Michael Hampton
Draw Like a Boss! Probably the best book on drawing!
I see the anatomy for artists book on your shelf, that book is amazing

A video on the worst books and why they're bad would be pretty interesting in my opinion
Any book from Impact saying "HOW TO DRAW MANGA"
I agree! There are so many “how to draw” books that are wack
Let’s do it!
That would be good
most drawing books you find down your local Library like Barrington Barber. but that situation may have changed because I asked them to get me over 10 excellent drawing books - until they got fed up and told me: no more.
if the book is very good they tend to get quickly stolen. Like Andrew Loomis.
Hi, I study medicine, and I am really want to learn how to draw anatomy 💓this is so helpful thank you 💖
Is there any books on Drawing everyday life objects and backgrounds? Something for comic artist
The Guide Artists books have books by the best painters and sculptors in the world. They release one to two books per month. It's really a luxury nowadays!
You and your video's a gem, thank you!
Anatomía y perspectiva, ambos temas bien abordados en estos libros que realmente simplifican el aprendizaje. Gracias
Awesome infomation!
I just subscribed!
Are you doing more book reviews? Could you review Christopher Hart's Humongous Book of Cartooning?
I would just like say I think you are very talented in what you do and I really like that Fred Perry top you have on ,,class 👌🏻
Ive got the creative perspective book suggested by glenn villpu , still having a hard time using any of it, my drawing forms always ends up intuitive and my horizons end up always being about a third down the page

The only place that sells it is Superani. The amazon versions of Superani books are unlicenced reprints to my knowledge.

It doesn't. You should focus on gesture drawing or just learning about shapes before picking up that book, as it is very detailed and more advanced
Thank you!
How does Michael Hampton's book compare to Steve Houston's?
Michael Hampton's is constructive anatomy from imagination. It can be used to even draw creatures & monsters say for animation. Steven Houston is purely observation. You draw what you see and how to see. Also Houston talk about his choice of art materials and how to employ them.
First book you brought out I shockingly have!
Never heard of the Stonehouse book but now I will buy it! Thank you and love your content by the way!
By the way I have those other books and they are amazing!
I'm going to have to check out that Stonehouse book 🙂
the marvel how to draw is also very helpful
thankyou very much
Nice books collection 👌
Where to buy the Stonehouse book from? I can't find the English version.
Did you find it?
@@IAbulldogs nope 😥
z library my boy
Sadly, Stonehouse's book is filled with many controversial notes on multiple stuff, so i suggest taking it with a grain of salt.
relieved to see i’m not the only one who felt this lol. it’s undoubtedly thorough and well done, but the self-insert cartoons meant to add a comedic touch straight up have racist caricatures and extreme misogyny
I love your accent man....
And here I was thinking that only science and math textbooks were huge
Any subject is huge in information. Anyway, perspective is pure Geometry and Anatomy is biological science. So, there it is: science and math
thanks for sharing
I have 400 hundred photo books they just as good
Where did you buy the English version of Stonehouse's Anatomy? I can't find it anywhere to get it for the UK :(
I find it really interesting your choices here… apart from Hampton I gotta say really not a fan of any of these
I’ve heard Stonehouse’s book is kinda racist, as someone who’s read it is that the case?
I’ve not come across anything. Although there is a disclaimer on the website explaining that there may be some misunderstandings which stems from cultural differences between the author and reader
@@DanBeardshaw thanks 🙏🏾
U are so cute broh ..
↖❤💀😇
I dont like books... I hate that i have to read em to get good. Let me quess the anatomy book only covers men. Not women.
Books are useless, just keep drawing.
Teach me
@@KhairiHamed no need to, just keep drawing
Arigato senpai 🙇
