Anatomy proportions and measurements

Syzero

I need some help guys. Is there some information about the measurements of the human and animal body?I want to know how much long is human male torso, hands, or even head width for example I am not sure, should i do measurement by the head or by units?
Also i want to know animals proportions and measurements

Count Vertsalot

Three popular proportions for humans are methods by Loomis, Hale, and Richer. You can just google "Loomis proportions" or any other of those names and get results. Loomis is idealistic, the other two are more realistic. Animal proportions are more difficult to come by.

I'm also releasing some stuff on Gumroad soon that will probably help you out. Stay tuned.

Why animal proportions are hard?

I really hope Scott Eaton course is good as it really expensive. But, all I read on this forum is that it is really good.

Oh sweet, i will buy Scott Eaton course, this summer for sure.
Now i need to collect/gather some animal anatomy as well

What kind of animals are you looking for ref ?
Pinterest usually has some nice stuff. Like Horses and dogs.

Syzero

Any kind of animal i mean, should i use the same measurements that we are doing on human body , to do them also in animal? I really like Richer methods, measurements with the cranium and half half

You can easily find skeleton and muscle reference for animals. But, if you want proportions, there really isn't much out there.

Syzero

So how do you guys sculpt creatures and animals? Just by observation and lots of references?

Hi Syzero,

For a deeper study of animal anatomy, you might be interested in this good book of compared anatomy:

■ Cyclopedia Anatomicae: More Than 1,500 Illustrations of the Human and Animal Figure for the Artist

Or just the extract about animal anatomy:

■ Anatomy Drawing School: Animals
