Anatomy for artists
The author of the book Uldis Zarins is teaching anatomy in the Art Academy of Latvia and he's a traditional sculptor with more than 25 years of experience. But this book is not just a sculpting book – it is used in 3D modeling, digital art, painting, CGI, character design, traditional and digital sculpting, etc. All around the world, this handbook helps artists in their daily work.
Content is king
In addition to the 3D models, there are photos of real-life models from various angles and in different body positions, that are overlaid with color-coded muscle diagrams. The book covers almost every aspect of human anatomy, displaying the human body from head to toe.
Guess no more
The Internet is not as full of reliable information on this subject as it might seem at first. It is difficult to find the exact reference materials you need – you're left with improvisation. Improvising, without real understanding of the human figure, brings imperfections and frustrations.
To help you gain an understanding of the human figure and its motions is the main purpose of the book. It allows artists not to just "copy" nature, but to understand it and improve their work.
