‘Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael drew the human body with an understanding of its workings from the inside outside - as have thousands of artists since. Who better to teach this method than Roberto Osti, who trained as a medical illustrator before turning to fine art. . . . Dynamic Human Anatomy, a follow-up to his book Basic Human Anatomy, explains how this methodology can be used to reach beyond static depictions in order to 'convey a sense of life or express psychological character.'’ - Artists Magazine
