A Handbook of Anatomy for Art Students
This is a Dover reprint of the 1915 book by Arthur Thomson, a lecturer at the Royal College of Art, South Kensington. The book was an extensive survey of human anatomy using photographs of models and careful drawings of the muscles of the body in the same pose as the photographs. A feature of the book was the use of the photographs to show the body in various poses combined with anatomical drawings naming the muscles and showing the effect of expansion and contraction.

Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes: Volume 2: The Walt Stanchfield Lectures
Walt was a kind of Mark Twain for us at Disney. He always taught with humor and skill. You learned to see the world through his eyes. I remember him one day encouraging us to leap into our drawings with boldness and confidence, "Don't be afraid to make a mistake. We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us so the sooner you get them out the better!" Sitting in Walt's class was as much a psychology course as it was a drawing class. One couldn't help walk away with your mind and soul a little more open than when you entered.
Glen Keane, Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Here is an interesting post about one of his classes. "during the production time of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT I met WALT STANCHFIELD for the first time in london. it must have been 1987, don hahn had brought him over from los angeles to conduct drawing classes for the animators, better – ‘gesture drawing classes’." - Hans Bacher
Another one which demonstrates his ability to get to the essentials: "Forget the detail" and other animation-inspired lessons
