Morpho: Hands and Feet

This book presents a simplified and practical vision of the hands and feet to help you in your drawing studies, encouraging both accuracy and movement. In this book, Lauricella breaks the subject matter down into the underlying skeletal shapes, followed by the musculature, then skin and fat, and finally, the veins. Geared toward artists of all levels-from beginners through professionals-this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Morpho is also crafted to be easily referenced in your sketching journey. This book features an "exposed" binding style. This is intentional, as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.

Michel Lauricella was trained at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He has taught morphology for 20 years, successively at the Emile Cohl School in Lyon, Beaux-Arts workshops in Paris, and the Gobelins (Paris). He is currently a professor at Lisaa (Paris) and at Fabrica1 (Paris).
