Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
Thanks. Should i start to study the skeleton first, starting from the skull. Then to learn muscles also with the head and neck, then chest, arms, legs etc? It will be not be a problem to memorize the names of the muscles and bones too. But I'm not sure about the process of studding. I already have every possible book out… -
Anatomy foundation, how to study
So, Any advice of starting to learn anatomy from 0? I have no idea how to start. Also, i already accept the facts that i have to draw, and will do it. But i also want to learn Zbrush, at least something. But what to sculpt in Zbrush? Should i draw first skulls/heads,to study about heads what i can, and then to try and… -
Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
stay away from zbrush when you start, i see lots of people doing that , they "study" anatomy on zbrush and it turns into mushy crap , just play with polygons, use as little as you can to define the shapes, like old school lowpoly models , be sure to study low frequency details ( main shapes of mass of muscle and bones )… -
Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
100% agree. But don't bother memorizing names by rote 'cuz it could be boring and counterproductive for you. Better to use google images to understand the pertinent muscles (important to your sculpt) in isolation. Because muscles overlap and attached to different bones. In my self teaching experience, it's easier to digest… -

Then apply your knowledge in your form of choice, be it zbrush or photoshop. Start with heads, arms, legs and other parts. Use base meshes to get you… -
Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
I really struggle reproducing correct proportions in anything, Anatomy is defs one of my lowest skill areas. however i find that pure repetition and reference of any kind always reveals the results im looking for. Its so tedious to look at something and sketch it over and over again until it looks right but unfortunately… -
Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
I think that many people who started with 2D, are more better than someone. And they started from early age. I am 25, and seems i do not have that passion for Drawing. -
