Form the head by starting with simple shapes and gradually add structure and detail. We cover base forms like the helmethead and egghead, first- and second-level blockouts, and the anatomy and variation that shape the head.
3D Reference Tool is much more than just a library of scans. Here, you will find 3D anatomy references – block-outs, anatomy models, and realistic assets – to help you understand and create realistic human anatomy.
This book takes the complex topic of dynamic anatomy and makes it clear through the power of visual language – various 3D models, live reference images, and color-coded diagrams.
Butt anatomy is a challenging subject for many artists. First of all, humans are the only animals with abundant butt fat. And the butt has the Gluteus maximus – the biggest muscle in the entire human body.
When we think of the hips and butt, the first things that come to mind are the muscles and subcutaneous fat, and we might sometimes even forget about the skeleton underneath.
