Product Description:
Maybe you’ve noticed. Today’s superheroes and action heroes aren’t as brawny and muscular as they used to be. In fact, almost all the characters in comic books and on TV have a fresh, new look--simplified, streamlined, edgier, with a hint of anime/cartoon design, and appealing to kids and adults alike. Now Christopher Hart, the superhero of how-to-draw books, has come to the rescue of artists everywhere with Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist. Anatomy has always been a difficult subject, but for this book Hart uses his straightforward approach to show a simpler way. In clear step-by-step illustrations and text, he shows: how to draw streamlined figures in poses; body types and muscles; the mechanics of facial expression; how to know which muscles to eliminate in a simplified drawing; grouping muscles; muscle contours versus bone contours; muscles in classic comic-book poses like flying and punching; and more. Now artist can stop struggling with the fine points of anatomy and start creating modern looking heroes and heroines with help from Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist.

This is by far my favorite of the series of drawing books produced by Chris Hart. It teaches exactly what the title says, except that I'd be tempted to say "for the cartoon artist" more than "comic artist." In response to some of the criticism I see in the reviews about this book... yes, if you lack a basic ability to draw, then this is a bad starting point. However, nothing about the book suggests that it is a good starting point. This is about drawing in a specific style, not drawing in general.

As an animation student, I have struggled with drawing the human figure for years! I recently discovered this book and I am amazed at how well Christopher Hart has presented a complicated subject in a way that is easy to read and understand. Hart has an amazing way of showing you how easy it is to apply human anatomy into a streamlined look without losing individuality in facial features or body builds. The book is filled with side-by-side comparisons of traditional styles and the more simplified look ... Read More

If you're into drawing animated cartoons or comics, this is the book for you. It teaches on how to draw heroes & heroines with simple tutorials,and sample artworks. Basically only 35% teaches on how to draw, the rest are explaining the concepts,body structures,postures & angles.
Overall,this book Rocks! I've learnt alot in this simplified books, rather than those how to draw Manga books. This book is the best!

If you have never drawn comics and are not much of an artist then this book is not for you. Being someone that does not draw very well this book did not help me much. After consulting with someone who is a beginning comic artist this book is very helpful. They were able to gain new perspective in anatomy and body stylization that they were not aware of before. So if you have been drawing a little while and want to advance your style technique then this book could be for you.

This is a GOOD solid book that addresses surface anatomy.
I recommend this book for seasoned artists having a rough time
transitioning from fine art to comic art. Plus this is a good reference
for budding and intermediate artists as well.
I think artists that want to explore making web-comics
and desire to create clean, crisp, deleniated fiures/ faces
will benefit from a book like this.
This one of the BETTER books by Hart.
