Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy Paperback – September 1, 2000

I purchased three Hart books, which I've noticed are sometimes collectively referred to as his 'figure drawing trilogy'. These books include this one, The Beginner's guide to Drawing People, and his Human Proportions Book.This book, Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy, is my favorite of the three. It was also the least expensive, considering that the book can currently be had, used on amazon, for only the shipping cost plus one penny. I paid the amazon retail price for the other books.This book is on the thick side for a Hart release. It is useful and intuitive to use. I would recommend purchasing this book first, of the three in the aforementioned trilogy, and perhaps even as a first anatomy book. I have another recently released anatomy book for artists that is well regarded and, while I enjoy it, it is clear to me that first working through Hart's (this) anatomy book would provide an easier to grasp foundation and be more fun. Consequently, it will be easier to get more out of a more advanced anatomy book when it is time to study it.The illustrations in this book are large and lack excessive line (a good thing). The illustrations have enough detail for a beginner without having too much detail. You get what you require to convey the anatomy to the viewer, which is what you want when you are learning the basics. Hart's shading style is clean, and this book more than his aforementioned others teaches it to you by clear, large examples. Each body part generally gets 1-2 pages. Often, the showcased body part is shown drawn from multiple perspectives.This book is a no brainer for beginning to intermediate figure artists, especially for the price.

This was a required book for a drawing class that I took, however I ended up keeping it because the diagrams and tips inside were phenomenal. If you want help drawing human anatomy, this is the book for you.

I gave it a 5 star rating, cause it breaks down how to draw all aspects of the human body. From head to toe he goes over all of it. He even breaks down the nose which was very helpful to me since I struggle with the nose. Then when he gets the artist familiar with the complexities of anatomy he goes into poses, which is extra helpful. A good guide for any aspiring artist wishing to learn this sophisticated form the human body. Get this book you won't regret it.

This order took over 5 weeks to arrive in my mailbox, but thankfully it got delivered without much issue or damage. I bought this book to learn simple anatomy of the human body but didn't want to siff through hours and hours of science books or extensive detailed artist books that are meant for professional artist so this one helped to give me a rough idea on body parts.

Had this book years ago and lost it. Im grateful to find it again on amazon. Really good anatomy book.

This book gives many examples and a very good grounding in the basics of drawing human anatomy.Whether learning to draw men or women, this book is a great resource

Because I am learning to draw manga, and because I struggle with drawing the body, this book is helping me find ways to practice my body drawings.It doesn't go too deep into all the anatomy like in a biology class, which for me is great, because it focuses on the main points we need to understand to draw the human body.I always prefer to find the 20% that has 80% of the benefit in anything I study to save myself sometime, and this books delivers it.

A nice book to browse, but do not think that it is by any means an instructional guide. It is worth a few dollars just to get the talented artist/author thoughts.
