Our community started with the needs of sculptors in mind – hence, the “Sculptors” in Anatomy for Sculptors. But today our mission is much broader.
We use information design to empower every kind of visual artist. In our team of 3D and 2D artists work alongside medical and anatomy experts to create the most insightful anatomy books and tools.

The book gives literally hundreds of easy tips for new and experienced sculptors interested in pursuing their anatomy studies but not sure how to begin.
To me, the most helpful section was the head and legs, the head for its complexity and amount of very tiny muscles composing it; the legs for its shapes and silhouette.
The book doesn`t only teach you the name of the muscles but more importantly shows you how the muscles interact to form the big forms.

This book does a remarkable job helping us understand, see and feel the human anatomy from this perspective. There can’t be an endgame book about shapes and forms but this one should definitely be part of anyone’s early development.

Anatomy for sculptors is the clearest and most comprehensive anatomy reference material that I have seen.
Their topological drawings, anatomy diagrams, and kinesiology examples do a better job of simplifying and breaking down the human body into understandable forms than any other resource available.
I use their work as reference to help clarify anatomy on every human I sculpt.
