The follow-up title to the hit title, Drawing Cutting Edge Comics which has been translated into 7 languages, this drawing tutorial shows artists how to draw the exaggerated musculature of super-sized figures in action poses. The guesswork is taken out of figuring out which muscles show through to the surface and how muscles appear through clothing. This instructional manual even gives both the Latin and the common term for particular body parts such as scapula/shoulder blade. Hart covers all aspects of extreme anatomy. The book opens by providing detailed diagrams of all of the various muscle groups, including chest, back, shoulder, arm, and leg muscles. Then he covers many of the various extreme comic book types including good guy, bad guy, insane guy, punk, genius, and brute for men; and the heroine, bad gal, trashy gal, seductress, fighter babe, and cyber chick for women. As an added bonus, this book closes with two invaluable sections to all aspiring comic book artists. One provides a roadmap of all the steps an artist must take if he or she is going to get started in the comic book business, and advice on how the comic book business works. The second section features interviews with people from two of the most significant companies in the world of comics, Marvel Comics and Dark Horse!

Summary: Same old drawing book.
Comment: Normally I don't but into "how to draw" books. Drawing skill comes with practice, not by reading. I heard this was a good one so broke down and bought it (with a few others) they all collect dust on my shelf.

Summary: Improve your skills as an all around artist
Comment: Shipped fast and in described condition.
This is a great book for any artist, not just comic book types. Most artists have trouble with key features of the human body, i.e. feet, hands, faces, anatomy, and this is a great book to work on that. This helps with inking, perspective, action poses, and many others. Just a great all around book for improving skills. Highly recommended on the ol' book shelf.

Summary: Very good book.
Comment: This was a very good book on the body. The step by step process was what I was looking for. This is the book for any body that wants to learn how to draw the human body in many ways and it was easy to understand. I have recommended this book to all my drawing students.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good as a reference book, bad as a step by step book
Comment: Well for one I am a novice artist ... actually I am totally new to drawing anatomy and was expecting both a step by step book and a decent reference book.
Well the good side is I have a ton of reference out of this beauty ... the bad part is there is almost no step by step procedures. The drawings are nice but the very few step by steps are really accelerated ...
All in all this is a nice book to have around for reference and might do wonderfully well for an experienced artist ... but this really isn't the best choice for starters.

Summary: good book
Comment: this book has a lot of instruction and ideas for what to draw is has a lot of instruction for the serious sketch artists. if you are looking for a book on anatomy this is a great buy.
