Re: Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
For artists, the term form and anatomy are used pretty interchangeably. Saying the form is off is normally the same thing as the anatomy is off. Some artists might have the anatomy down, accurate, with the right proportions, but aren't capturing the right "forms", like how that body part catches light and casts shadows,… -
Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
http://boards.4chan.org/3/thread/523760/new-wip-thread#p525232 Been reading through this, and has gotten me confused. There's a few people discussing anatomy vs form. A lot of them are samefagging, and it's genuinely got me confused. -

The posters there are also comprised of 99% salt, and that harsh critique could equally come from a place of jealousy and spite as it could come from someone genuinely trying to help you. Just because the crit is anonymous doesn't mean its worth anything more. You might get one or two good crits, but IMO its not worth… -

Form based anatomy sketching is a great technique if you're drawing purely from imagination. -
Re: Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
4chan fellows are no good, The majority folks are hate filled sociopaths hiding in the shadows; I wouldn't listen to a word these fellows have to say. I learned the hard way back in 2010, these dudes are mostly 15 year olds who can't do a thing and they jeer at anyone who doesn't adhere to their standards. /ic/ is even… -

Yeah, what the 4chan discussion is trying to get at is that it is very easy to get caught up in anatomy (as in, "this muscle insertion goes here") while forgetting how these discrete parts combine into a greater whole - which itself can be simplified/stylized. A common example would be the case of naive pencil drawings… -

'Forms' and 'shapes' are just the visual simplification of anatomy. The Asaro Head is a great example of this. Anatomy is like the hard science behind why the shapes and forms are the way they are. -
Re: Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
I always had the impression that the term "form", when used in this art context, refers to the structure of a subject in all dimensions rather than just its shape—with "shape" being that subject projected onto your retina or a flat surface like a computer display or sheet of paper. A person may have these terms completely… -
Re: Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
Form is a 2d shape represented in 3D. A circles 3d form is a sphere, square is a cube, etc. As far as anatomy is concerned, most parts can be broken down into simple forms for easier understanding/learning. Thats really about it, there's no real "VS". -
Re: Can anyone shed light on this discussion on /3/? Form vs anatomy.
Advice: don't get your feedback and advice from 4chan. Just come to a forum where people can't hide behind anon and short posts in the first place :confused: Better thread suggestion would be to start a thread on Anatomy vs Form here (and my quick answer would be that in order to have accurate forms you need to verse…
