Figure Drawing: Design and Invention Paperback – 31 August 2009

Liked.

Michael Hampton has taken all of Andrew Loomis' work and modernized it. This is the best book for anatomy.

Invest in this book if you want to learn human anatomy for art. It covers the what's and why's. The gesture and anatomy is covered in great detail.

Very good book for learning anatomy at primary stages...It helped me a lot....it focus hoe different parts of the body connects together and how different forms fit together in the body...

Book os good

I have mixed feelings. On one hand I received a hardcover item when the product was supposed to be paperback for the same price, the quality of printing is also good enough unlike what some other reviews said, on another hand, compared to the versions online, the book has some differences. It could be because the edition is different, but at first glance there are some things missing or changed or shortened, which I don't necessarily appreciate because some nice illustrations that would've been useful to learn from are not there. I'm wondering if I should ask for a replacement (which doesn't guarantee getting what I want and might make things worse with me ending up with a worse copy), or just supplement what it lacks from the online versions.

This purchase from Amazon India was very disappointing. It looks like local printers are making cheap copies from a PDF found online, and the result is terrible print quality blurry, unreadable in parts, and not at all worth the price. Paying around ₹5000 for such a poor-quality print is simply not worth it.Out of frustration, I had to reorder the same book from Amazon.com (spending about ₹1000 more), and the difference is huge the original is clear, high-quality, and a pleasure to read.It’s sad to see the hard work of such a great mentor and artist being ripped off like this. I doubt the author even gets paid from these low-quality prints. Amazon India and other big online marketplaces in the country really need to check on this issue. I had already raised a request earlier, but it’s disappointing that this continues.A very poor experience overall. I strongly recommend buying only the official edition, even if it costs more.

Terrible printing quality. The images are faded and pixelated. You can get a better print from your home printer
