Following the success of the first volume of Artistic Anatomy devoted to écorché and other drawing techniques, Michel Lauricella focuses here on how to outline the human body through drawing.

More than 500 drawings with brief explanatory texts that provide the technical and formal keys to schematization.

Shapes: a restricted set of body parts - head and neck, torso and limbs - are reduced to the essentials, without distinction of sex or age.

Simplification: a method that extracts from complex forms those that are simpler and closer to the silhouette, in the form of a sketch, and then adds variations of posture.
