Anatomy for sculptors torso

Let's go over the key bony landmarks of the torso. On the thorax, the sternum and the costal margin are always visible. On the pelvis, – the iliac crest and its anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

Step by step. Day by day. Going through the multiple step of creating a human torso, let's you understand it. Image of the same male torso brought out in masses, block-out, mesh , bones,, muscles and realistic.

Last week we posted the front of a female torso and it's block-out. So we found the same pose and did the back of it. Analyzing the forms, their flow and what creates them. www.anatomy4sculptors.com

Anatomy For Sculptors has released a series of images that show how to create realistic-looking digital human arms.

Latissimus dorsi is a superficial muscle that covers the largest part of the back. It’s form is diverse and influenced by many factors. The picture shows how the erector spinae deep muscles influence the form of Latissimus dorsi. Erector spinae is a group of three muscles with a joint function – it can be thought of as the abs of the back. This muscle group allows to straighten the back and provides for side-to-side rotation. When it’s flexed, it influences the surface forms of Latissimus…

Continuing with the Abs study, here is the usual breakdown. I love exploring the ribs vs obliques, so I’m pushing it on this one, making…

Back anatomy can be challenging, but knowing the scapula's bony landmarks – the spine, medial border, and inferior angle – gives more clarity. These bony landmarks define the borders of the muscles, making it easier to understand and recreate back anatomy. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

Moving down from the necks. We have a shoulder muscle (deltoid). It occupies almost the whole shoulder and can be divided into 3 parts - the front part (anterior), middle part (lateral), back part (posterior). www.anatomy4sculptors.com

When drawing or modeling a human bust, there are a couple of bony landmarks to keep in mind. This illustration shows a color-coded skeleton and surface anatomy with the prominent bony landmarks in a corresponding color code. These include the sternum, clavicle, acromion of the scapula, and hyoid bone. The 1st and the 2nd pair of ribs are visible as well. www.anatomy4sculptors.com
