Civardi, Giovanni. Art of drawing

Originally published in Italy by Il Castello Collane Tecniche, Milano, ©2014

Giovanni Civardi provides an in-depth study of proportions, muscles, joints and bone structure. He breaks down the complexities of the drawing process into simple anatomical sections consisting of the head, torso, arms, and legs. Combining artistic and scientific expertise, Civardi teaches the reader not only how to depict the human form, but also how to understand it
