This manual offers techniques that visually simplify and refine the study of the body's muscles and skeleton into concepts that can easily be used by beginning and intermediate artists alike. One example of this is the human neck. There are many large and small muscles in the neck, all rendered in great detail in most anatomy books, yet only four of them are ever visible. This book attacks anatomy from an artist's point of view, offering such valuable concepts as how to self-check the proportions of the head and body to make sure they are accurate, without the need of a model.

Another way of measuring the model by sight is to observe the negative spaces created in a pose. Negative spaces are the empty shapes created within the outline of the pose. For example, look at the triangular shape of negative space under the model's raised leg. If you were drawing the model, and the negative space you drew resulted in a smaller area of negative space in comparison to what you observed on the model, you would know that you had erred. You can also use negative spaces when drawing strictly from your imagination. Pleasing negative spaces within a pose tend to open up a drawing.
