The Art of Anatomy

Jasson showed me a pretty freaky link a couple of weeks ago. I promised to post it but never got the time to. So here it is…

ARTNATOMY is a website that combines wonderful and amazingly detailed layers of skeletal, muscular and facial expressions through a system of sophisticated yet simple to use controls. Basically you can make any kind of face and see the underlining muscular structure for that particular expression. Jason thinks it’s great for artists to reference in their drawings or models. I wish I had this when I was studying for my human anatomy exams at SCAD.

Tip: Go to “Level 2” via the buttons on the top, left hand corner for the advanced expressions I just wrote about.

Artnatomy 1
An expression with the superficial layer.

Artnatomy 2
The same expression with some muscular transparency.

Artnatomy 3
Again, the same image with some muscular transparency plus the skeletal structure.
