Good To Have On Hand

This is a very handy book for a new camera. It makes finding all the settings and features very easy. Plus it fits in my camera bag nicely. I wish I had one for my last camera.

Informative, really good pictures for seeing what you're doing, and helps me to digest the information easily.

Smaller than I expected, but it's a beautiful addition to my drawing skills educational books. I'd love to read other books from this series.

Rocky Nook d500 pocket guide

This is more of an identifier of buttons and their functions. Don't expect it to answer a question or give a short cut to a menu selection.

Mirrorless Camera Help

One of the best books to learn about your camera. Shows you how to do things in the menu rather than just show you where they are as in the user guide.

Fantastic resource for learning the WHATs of the Canon 5D Mark IV

Got a concern with the Canon 5D Mark IV. Check the index and find a concise definition and solution. A great resource for learning the many features of the Canon 5D Mark IV. Other camera books have been just so-so. This one is easy to read and find out what you need.

Helpful and full of aid

This book provided my little sister with all the resources to help guide her in the direction of an artist. She was struggling with creating proportionate figures and shapes to portray a realistic image, and with this book she now has the motivation to go and improve on her art further. I highly recommend this towards up and coming artists.

There’s a noteworthy nugget in every chapter

Great book. Working my way through. So much insight, simple to read and understand. First camera purchase in many years. I was thankful it has the basics and more advanced chapters to work on. Very well written and thought out for the working photographer. So not the manufacturers manual. Practical, and concise. I highly recommend this book. There’s a nugget in every chapter!

Designed to enhance the observational skills of artists at all levels, this comprehensive guide provides profound insights into the human body's structure.

These can be seamlessly combined and manipulated to depict the complex and diverse postures seen in the living body, thereby elevating the realism and accuracy of your artwork.

The book's user-friendly layout begins with a foreword and introduction, followed by detailed sections on the head and neck, torso and shoulders, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Each section is meticulously detailed, providing in-depth knowledge and practical techniques for artists. The book concludes with a resource section, further enriching your understanding of human anatomy.

"Morpho: Simplified Forms: Anatomy for Artists" is more than just a book; it's a tool that opens up a world of possibilities for artists to explore, understand, and depict the human form with precision and creativity.
