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.

Regardless of your skill level, there is always something to learn and better when it comes to anatomy. Whether you are sculpting a character yourself, or giving feedback to your teams, finding good visual reference can be challenging.
Anatomy for Sculptors books are a great reliable resource that will make this knowledge easy to understand and accessible.
There are a wide range of breakdowns from simple, isolated forms to more complicated, from young to old, from human to animal anatomy. Not only do they make the process easier, they also provide new ways of looking at shapes, structure and flow.
I highly recommend incorporating this resource in your workflow even if your preferred medium is not sculpting.

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.

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.
