Anatomía artística 2. Cómo dibujar el cuerpo humano de forma esquemática by Michel Lauricella

More anatomy than art instruction
Great reference for drawing anatomy but no instruction on the drawing itself. This book is good for learning the internal structures and how they bend and fold but it's not an art instruction book.
I'm going to re-read and draw and label along as a way to further understand and memorize the various parts of bone and muscle

I haven’t had a chance to really digest everything since I only have this as a library hold. But I think this is a really good resource for artists. This isn’t a how-to-draw book, but it explains anatomical reasoning like how an ear is leveled to a jawbone or how long an arm should be from the kneecap. It also provides some interesting poses outside of the usual sitting and standing. The artist shows some bigger body types toward the end, which is a pleasant surprise from most art books.
Shapes and simplifying the body are heavily emphasized. The book shows multiple times how to take a shape of a person’s pose, make a skeletal figure, and then add the meat and muscles. It doesn't teach you how to add muscle, but you understand where fat accumulates in the body and how curvatures and certain parts should look. You can fill in the gaps of knowledge easily, I think.
This is a great companion to a life drawing class or when drawing from reference pictures.

Again, the CAWPILE rating system doesn't really apply, but this book was also really useful. Lots of useful little tips and tricks in this one where it comes to the morphology of the body. Almost felt like I was back in my anatomy + physiology classes looking through the muscle studies lmao
