Review: Superb book - Finally I have found the artists' anatomy book I've been looking for - it is far more detailed than the other two I have and incredibly comprehensive - someone's really gone the extra mile and put a lot of work into this. Fantastic image quality a good few whole page and half page images, thorough explanations of how joints work etc, actual coaching on how to draw the different parts of the body (as opposed to just pretty pictures to copy), comparison of body parts to things like spanners (i.e. useful analogies to items that are easier to draw). This really is a superb book - if you are in two minds then take the plunge - you won't regret it. Gush. Review: Good reference book - I did an online anatomy for artists course and wanted a reference book to continue learning from. The book is well structured and comprehensive, just what I needed. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 249,067 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 199 in Figure Drawing 203 in Art Encyclopaedias 250 in Human Figures in Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 737 Reviews | ## Images ![Classic Human Anatomy: The Artist's Guide to Form, Function, and Movement - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eAYBa20jL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb book *by D***S on 15 February 2016* Finally I have found the artists' anatomy book I've been looking for - it is far more detailed than the other two I have and incredibly comprehensive - someone's really gone the extra mile and put a lot of work into this.

The book is well structured and comprehensive, just what I needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and still love it. So many anatomy books I've encountered over ... *by G***H on 15 December 2015* I've had this book for years now, and still love it. So many anatomy books I've encountered over the years (and there's been many - I'm a former art student) are just plain boring to look at, unappealing and filled with unclear language. This one is beautifully and clearly laid out, with really lovely drawings and great explanations. It's a nice big book, too - that part at least is a personal thing, I think; I much prefer a large format for reference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Classic Human Anatomy: The Artist's Guide to Form, Function, and Movement - Figure Drawing: Design and Invention - Classic Human Anatomy in Motion: The Artist's Guide to the Dynamics of Figure Drawing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/61160738-classic-human-anatomy-the-artists-guide-to-form-function-movement](https://www.desertcart.no/products/61160738-classic-human-anatomy-the-artists-guide-to-form-function-movement) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
