What are some good books for learning anatomy aside from this? It was pretty good at first, but it feels rushed at critical points.
I might just be tripping on something he later reveals though, but I'm fairly certain I'll have to get more information on legs from another source immediately after I finish this book.

Get Peck's Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist. It's cheap and very thorough and scientific. It's worth copying out, but also worth as a reference book to check things.

I've already downloaded it to help me deal with the book I've been reading.
Is this a good, valid reference website for anatomy on top of that?

I think in some regards Peck's Atlas will be good for me, but Biodigital will help whenever I have trouble visualizing a muscle.

yea I though that book was cancer
even from the beginning it just feels like every other course out there but he just wants to finish ASAP

I actually heard rumours a while back that the reason it is rushed is he wanted to finish and publish it before Huston had a chance to put together a book.

Despite that, Huston's book is far worse than Hampton's sadly, was disappointed considering how much hype he gets compared to Hampton.

i actually liked it ...

Well maybe if Huston had put together an anatomy book instead of a figure drawing book it would have been better, but he was beaten to the punch. Or maybe Huston is better at teaching in a class environment and not as good at writing books.

I just finished Classic Human Anatomy in Motion, by Winslow. The "in motion" part could be better, but as far as anatomy, I thought it was good

Thanks so much.
This is a really good book, complete with muscular/skeletal animations.
