The must-have guide for all artists who draw the human figure! In Morpho: Hands and Feet , artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a unique approach to learning to draw the human body. In this book, Lauricella focuses exclusively on the hands and feet—arguably the most popular and, for many, the most challenging parts of the body to draw successfully. Breaking the subject matter down into the underlying skeletal shapes, followed by the musculature, then the skin and fat, and finally, the veins, Lauricella offers multiple approaches—from simple forms to complex renderings—and a plethora of positions and gestures are included to help you improve your drawing skills. Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights. (Publisher's Note: This book features an “exposed” binding style. This is intentional as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.) TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Introduction Hands Feet Resources Review: Great reference book - I love this book. If you are looking for a great reference book that is small enough to carry with you everywhere, then this is it. This book is small enough to set on your desk for reference without taking too much space, but big enough to be able to read it's content with out compromising the quality it's content. The information is well put togethe. I highly recommend this book. Review: Binding is done on Purpose and it's a great portable reference book - This is a great reference book! I got the hands and feet because I always need help with those. It's small enough that I can easily carry it in my bag with supplies. I know everyone keeps talking about the binding but I take it they have never had a book binding class before. The binding is left exposed on purpose. It shows the excellent craftsmanship of the bind. I don't mind it at all. The book has a lot of great references and I am using it all the time when I am looking for a specific foot or hand pose to go along with the body I have sketched.

Binding is done on Purpose and it's a great portable reference book
This is a great reference book! I got the hands and feet because I always need help with those. It's small enough that I can easily carry it in my bag with supplies. I know everyone keeps talking about the binding but I take it they have never had a book binding class before. The binding is left exposed on purpose. It shows the excellent craftsmanship of the bind. I don't mind it at all. The book has a lot of great references and I am using it all the time when I am looking for a specific foot or hand pose to go along with the body I have sketched.

Trying my hand at drawing hands while also trying to get a good footing on things
These books provide great references. And Morpho's "Hands and Feet" is helping me as I try my hand at drawing hands while trying to get a good footing on things (no pun intended, perhaps?). But anyways, I really like the Morpho series. Great for intermediate level sketch artists or those looking to brush up on drawing after not having drawn for a while. Neat & compact. Can easily pack with you when travelling and the binding style is what I like about these too. You can conveniently lay them down as they remain propped open while sketching in your sketchbook. "Hands and Feet" is the second book of the Morpho series that I've bought. "Simplified Forms" being the first one. I recently just finished that one and have now just started on this one now. I still feel like I have a long road ahead before I feel like I've reached my goal/level. (I'd like to one day be able to draw hyper realistically and also to draw like Kim Jung Gi) But I feel like the journey never "ends" per se, as there's always room to learn things.

Great reference
These are reference books, not 'how to draw' books, though this one includes some how-to-draw tips. A wonderful reference; small and portable.

Morpho Hands and Feet (book 5)
Small book, quick and easy reference on that subject so many find difficult to draw. The book explains why and offers an insight on combined structural and surface thinking. Many extreme views of hands and feet, showing what other books don't, with interesting explanations and a more comprehensive understanding.

Super!
En gros: LE MEILLEUR LIVRE D'ANATOMIE POUR LES MAINS ET LES PIEDS Si vous aimez le dessin comme j'en raffole et ne maîtrisez pas du tout l'Art des mains et des pieds, procurez vous ce livre et vos problèmes seront résolus! Éventuellement, il faut le comprendre et le recopier, mais à part cela, c'est géant! Tout est bien expliqué et facile à comprendre comparer à Andrew Loomis qui m'a donné des mots de têtes horribles...Donc, je le recommande!
