My New Baby! (Don't Call it Ugly.)

The first proof is in! It's small, it's one color, and some might even call it, um... ugly. But hey, it only had a three week gestation period. As its proud mother, I think it's beautiful, and I hope you will, too. (Or you could always lie to me.) In any case, it's packed with information, and I think it will be a very helpful resource to any figure artist exploring anatomical surface landmarks.

One thing I will admit, though, is that I'm going to have to spring for better quality paper. The stock I used for the proof just isn't working; it's super absorbent and the photos got so muddy. And the stock change will mean a change in layout as well. To make a long story short, the current book size won't allow for any other stock. So I have to do some rearranging. This means the book won't be printed quite as soon as I thought, but it should still be done by sometime in the next two weeks. I will post details as soon as possible!

  1. Looks good! I like that it's small too. I prefer smaller anatomy books, so I can have them on my desk while working.

    1. I'm glad to hear it! The new layout will still be small, albeit square! About 7" x 7". And it will be better designed now, too.
