Just a heads up that Joe Madureira is contributing to a kickstarter project called "Masters of Anatomy." It seems like a really cool book and if you're an artist or have a desire in learning to draw the anatomy of people it's definitely worth supporting/buying. Masters of Anatomy is a one-of-a-kind anatomy book drawn by 100 animators, illustrators and comic book artists. It features work from world-class artists like Humberto Ramos, Francisco Herrera, Pascal Campion, Florian Satzinger, Warren Louw, Loish and many others. The result is a volume unlike anything that exists today. A must have for any aspiring artist; digital or traditional.
