In Morpho: Joint Forms and Muscular Functions, artist and
teacher Michel Lauricella presents a mechanical view of the human body.
In the same way that paleontologists work, we can deduce the body’s
muscular functions by studying the shapes of the bones. Starting with
the joints, which are reduced to simple shapes such as pulleys and
spheres, Lauricella teaches you their connections and correspondences
with the muscular system, which is necessary for understanding movement.
Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through
professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will facilitate your
practice of imaginative drawing and will enrich your drawing from
observation. Whether your interest is in figure drawing, fine arts,
fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you
will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.
