Book Review: Muscles in Motion: Figure Drawing for the Comic Book Artist

Muscles in Motion: Figure Drawing for the Comic Book Artist

I'm glad I borrowed this from the library because this book isn't worth the money.

All the figure drawing examples included are from some exercise videos. Not really a problem except that the drawings aren't very good. They are sketchy and the muscles aren't defined well enough. On some sketches, it's hard to make out the form of the muscles. It can get so bad that sometimes the front and back of a person is hard to differentiate.

The poses are pretty stiff and static as well. The examples are very limiting because they are just exercise poses.

This book seems like a personal practice sketchbook of the author Glenn Fabry, with notes to, perhaps, himself. There aren't much useful instructional text also.

Not recommended.
