For all artists looking to master the daunting task of artistic anatomy, this book will prove to be indispensable. From art students to digital or traditional illustrators to fine artists it is my hopes that this book will be a lifelong companion as you learn to decipher Bridgman’s brilliant-but often cryptic -drawings. This book was designed and forged from decades of teaching practical anatomy at Watts Atelier of the Arts in Encinitas, California. I found that all too often in my classes, that students would struggle greatly trying to decipher Bridgman’s linear style of drawing. We should keep in mind that the goal of artistic anatomy is not to recite all of the insertions, origins and functions into cold stoic drawings full of photographic accuracy while lacking soul. I offer you this alternative idea: Use your working knowledge of anatomy to confidently navigate the complexities of the surface bumps and undulations. This will allow you to create drawings with far superior design and aesthetics compared with what you are seeing. A formula I have used for decades postulates that the greatest drawing efforts comprise three parts: part what you see, part what you know, and part what you wish you saw.
