This book, Drawing Human Anatomy, by Giovanni Civardi has drawn my attention for some time. At one point I borrowed an earlier publication of this book and could not get enough of his drawings on anatomy. Civardi is well known in the illustration field with numerous other books out on anatomy, portraiture and drawing in general.
What makes this book great is that it is not weighed down with a ton of medical jargon yet has inspiring drawings. Unlike most books on anatomy, he advises the reader on tips for life drawing and art materials one might want to consider.
As in any kind of anatomy drawing it takes considerable effort to get the proportions and scale right before tweaking these parameters to express an individual's characteristics. However, if you can master the human figure you can pretty much draw or paint anything you want.
