As part of my [[About#What is a Digital Garden?|digital garden]], I wanted to create a dedicated branch to document my studies of human anatomy for artists. I hope it might help others who are also interested in the subject with their own studies. > [!info] Note > As I am not learning this in a professional context but completely on my own, I want to emphasize that I'm basing my knowledge solely on the material available to me, which includes mainly books and online resources such as articles and videos. Furthermore, since my native language is German, I have added German translations where I felt it was most helpful. These are marked in a brighter font and tagged with "dt." # Resources A personal list of resources for learning anatomy for artists. ## Books - **[Anatomy for 3D Artists]()** by *Chris Legaspi* and *Matthew Lewis* - **[Anatomy For Sculptors]()** by *Uldis Zarnis* - **[Anatomy for the Artist]()** by *Sarah Simblet* - **[Constructive Anatomy]()** by *George Bridgman* - **[Artistic Anatomy]()** by *Richer / Hale* - **[Heads]()** by *Alex Kayser* ## Websites - [Atlas of Anatomy](https://doctorlib.info/medical/anatomy/) - [Anatomy4Sculptors](https://ecorche.anatomy4sculptors.com/figure-and-torso/torso-anatomy/male-ecorche) - [Anatomy Standard](https://www.anatomystandard.com/index.html) - [Medical Gross Anatomy - Anatomy Talbes](https://www.med.umich.edu/lrc/anatomy-tables/) ## Anatomy Models - [3D Total Anatomy Figures](https://store.3dtotal.com/collections/anatomy-figures) - [Bone Clones](https://boneclones.com)
