Extremely educational for anyone who wants to raise their facial expressions game to the next level
My name is Stjepan Sejic. I’m a comic creator who has for years been known for my ability to write and draw characters that feel invested in their own surroundings. A bit part of that is the nuanced language of facial expressions. While I was predominantly self taught there was still a desire to get my hands on a good book that explains what is happening under the skin.
A book that would help me decipher this riddle of emotions expressed through miniscule muscle movements. This is the book i was looking for my whole life. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in animation and comics as both those fields require often a knowledge of anatomy that abandons overreliance on reference photos and requires actual understanding of anatomy in motion suffice to say, this is a five star review and I’d give it a ten if I could! kudos!

Just wow!
I started sculpting a few months ago and I love books, so obviously I bought every book on the planet, some were good, most were ok. What I rarely found were the views from all the sides. I mean what does it help you to see a smile but you don’t know what happens from side view-ears, cheeks, etc. This book shows it all, just wow. I am a visual type and every page is a visual. Amazing. I can’t wait to sculpt every facial expression. Definitely want to get the other book too.

Fantastic articulation reference
This book is a fantastic for anyone attempting to animate facial expressions. The breakdown and illustration of isolated muscle groups in action is worth the price alone. My only disappointment is that there’s no inclusion of full jaw articulation, but what’s there is good enough on its own.

Beautifully detailed without being overly complicated
Beautifully detailed without being overly complicated. This book helps make all the features and actions of the human face digestible and fun to learn! Hands down the best facial anatomy book I’ve ever come across, I am very happy with my investment in it.

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.
