Requirements: PDF reader, 20.64 MB
Overview: This is the most easy-to-use human anatomy guide for artists, explaining the human body in a simple manner. The book contains keys to figuring out construction in a direct, easy-to-follow, and highly visual manner. Art students, 3D sculptors and illustrators alike will find this manual a practical foundation upon which to build their knowledge of anatomy – an essential background for anyone wishing to draw or sculpt easily and with confidence!
Visual artists are visual thinkers! They don’t want to read magnificent, but boring anatomy textbooks, stuffed with medical level information.
Instead, the author made a book with clear images, that contain only the necessary information needed, to create a realistic human form.
Most pictures in the book are self-explanatory. The text part of this book is only about 2%.
The concept of this book came from co-author Uldis Zarins, classically trained sculptor, with 20 years of sculpting experience, looking for good visual anatomy book for his students, that would help to explain the forms of the human figure. After years of fruitless searching, Uldis decided to roll up his sleeves and take one for the team. So, he embarked on an epic quest to create a book for solid anatomical reference for any aspiring artist.
In addition to the 3D models, there are also photos of live models from various angles and body postures, overlaid with color-coded muscle diagrams. The coverage of the book is completely comprehensive, displaying the human body from head to toe, including a few pages on face anatomy (for the deeper understanding of facial expressions, check out Anatomy of Facial Expressions)
The book contains images of various examples of different postures, such as a twisted torso, the movement of arms etc. This means you don’t have to guess anymore how each muscle will look from any angle.
