Reviews

"I've been teaching college-level anatomy for two decades, and yet I still always learn something from Rey every time I watch him teach. His anatomical knowledge is encyclopedic, and his ability to translate that into art is masterful."
--Anthony R. Friscia, Ph.D., Adjunct Associate Professor, UCLA, Integrative Biology & Physiology

"In your hands is a genuine work of scholarship and an accessible celebration of human anatomy. No one holds a candle to Rey's knowledge on the subject."
--Nathan Greno, Co-director, Tangled

"Rey Bustos--teacher extraordinaire--has presented his take on artistic anatomy in this incredible book to a level I have not seen before. In a word, he has electrified every aspect of the study of artistic anatomy with vitality. He brings anatomy to life."
--Eliot Goldfinger, renowned artist and sculptor and author of Human Anatomy for Artists

"Rey's Anatomy breaks down the intricacies of what is one of the most challenging subject matters for artists--the anatomy of the human figure. All intimidation vanishes as Rey joyfully distills this into easily graspable chunks, in an engaging and even storytelling manner, unveiling the mysteries, and inspiring confidence and creativity. With its many clear, easy-to-understand images, drawings, and diagrams, this is a must-have book for all students of anatomy, and one that I will be keeping, and referring to, on my own bookshelf."
--Terryl Whitlatch, acclaimed creature designer and animal anatomist
