Morpho: Anatomy for Artists #9

Morpho Mammifères: Eléments de morphologie comparée

Rate this book
Cet ouvrage est un « catalogue » de formes, un recueil de plus de cinq cents dessins pour une centaine d'espèces de mammifères évoluant sur terre, dans l'eau ou dans les airs. Le but recherché est de définir les caractères anatomiques communs à cette classe d'animaux à laquelle nous appartenons, d'établir des liens entre les formes et les fonctions afin de distinguer les adaptations au fouissage, à la marche, à la course, au bond, à l'escalade, au vol et à la nage. Ces notions devraient faciliter votre dessin d'observation et vous aider à créer des créatures imaginaires qui paraîtront vraisemblables. 537 dessins 100 espèces

A wonderful addition to the Morpho series, my only complaint is that it isn't longer! I'd love to see more books on Mammals and possibly see this series venture into birds. If you have any interest in drawing animals and creature design I highly recommend!

I love everything about this book. As an amateur artist, it was great to see all the different forms. I will certainly be using it in my drawing.
As a scientist, the explanations of homologous and convergent forms and just evolution in general were spot on. This would be a great read for someone who wasn't even interested in art but just interested in biology.

¿Fue todo lo que esperaba? Respuesta rápida NO
Pero esperen, se preguntarán porque 4 estrellas, y la verdad es que aunque no fue lo que esperaba, tuve mucho contexto de diversas especies, como identificarlas y como poder dibujarlas sabiendo que los hace diferentes.
Aunque no tiene mucho de como dibujarlos, si tiene datos curiosos.

This is an excellent resource for the animal artist or for anyone interested in the comparative mammal study. It contains excellent illustrations and straightforward explanations of a mammals of mist every form.
