"Excellent. The most valuable, detailed anatomical studies (which are also beautifully drawn) of all parts of the figure." — American Artist
"The best book on artist's anatomy available anywhere." — Art Students League News
Countless artists and students since the 1920s have used this and other books by George B. Bridgman (for nearly 50 years a teacher at the Art Students League in New York) for a solid foundation and understanding of human anatomy. They have found, and continue to find, that his unique way of discovering the vitalizing forces in the human form and realizing them in drawing carries the student pleasantly over one of art's most severe hurdles. Bridgman's superb anatomical sketches, of which there are nearly 500 in the book, also bring clearly to fruition his lucid theories of how to draw the human body in its structure and its complex movements.
Constructive Anatomy, an anatomical reference guide for the working artist, sculptor, and student, graphically shows important parts of the human body, both in motion and in repose — hand, wrist, thumb, fingers, forearm, arm, armpit, shoulder, neck, head, eye, nose, ear, mouth, chin, trunk (front, side, and back), pelvis, hip, thigh, leg, knee, ankle, foot, and toes. Drawings of bone and muscle structure of the working of the joints and the interrelation of the various parts of the body are mainly concerned with movement of all sorts — movements that are described in detail as well as illustrated. The bending, twisting,and turning, creasing and interlocking of the various parts of the body are represented in drawing as the wedging of masses in specific ways that are clearly defined by Mr. Bridgman.
Every artist will save tedious hours of research with this simple but effective approach, and will be delighted with its directness and fervor.

If you are any kind of character artist you really should have the Bridgeman books. This one is probably my favorite, though they are all really good. I will add that a pretty decent understanding of both muscular and skeletal anatomy is really needed to get much out of Bridgeman. I would suggest starting with an anatomy atlas, or at least pairing it with one unless you have an ok idea of what lies under the surface of the skin already.Product details

Constructive Anatomy eBook George B Bridgman George Bridgman Reviews
This book should get 6 stars. When I was younger I had this book, and I wanted this book so badly! Get burns Hogwarts books also. You can't miss with these!!!
Most of the anatomy books for artists have, nevertheless, been from a biology or medical perspective. This book is from an artist's perspective and deserves it's status as a classic.
Helped improve my human drawing skills.
This still remains as one of the top anatomy books I use the most. I actually like the fact the figures and illustrations are not super detailed and more loose sketches. A beginner might find this frustrating, but as a person that is trying to develop my own style I find it more important you get a loose interpretation and fill in your own details and personal touch. Otherwise you'll just have clone artists of these anatomy books.
The other reason I love this book is the price. It's small size makes it very easy to carry around too.
I feel I've improved tenfold since I've purchased this book on making my anatomy look more real.
Awesome for intermediate artists! The drawings in the book are more for analysis of form in 3 dimensions great for studying the human form, would not recommend for beginners, but awesome book overall!
The Edition is absolutely abysmal. Scans are terrible and the text looks like someone smashed their palms down on a keyboard.
I've been teaching art for more than 20 years. This book is by far the most stolen book from my classroom. I've bought more than a hundred of them over the years. I just recently ordered 18 of them to give to my AP Art students with gift inscriptions. I have two more saved back that I hope I can get to use in my classroom before they are stolen again. This is just one of the best books for any artist to have.
If you are any kind of character artist you really should have the Bridgeman books. This one is probably my favorite, though they are all really good. I will add that a pretty decent understanding of both muscular and skeletal anatomy is really needed to get much out of Bridgeman.
