@louhikarme As I researched sources, I too was recommended Gottfried Bammess’ book and I almost bought one of the anatomy4sculptors.com books. In the end though, I felt that buying an expensive book would cause me to favor that source above others and I would simply be regurgitating someone else’s knowledge. As a teacher myself I try to develop *my own* understanding as much as I can. So I opted to collaborate the plethora of anatomy sources across the internet. In short: I googled a LOT.
Anatomy information is widely accessible online from academic, medical, plastic surgery, and artistic websites in the form of images, videos, and 3D models. In fact since it’s so prevalent the issue becomes too many sources especially when they’re often slightly different from one another. I.e. some sources use latin anatomical terms while others use shortened/modern (?) terms and others use laymans terms (slang almost). So my process was to compare numerous sources and find the middle ground between them all.
It’s been a slow process but after putting in the time and effort I believe my knowledge and model are my own and quite reliable. Maybe not enough to be a plastic surgeon but certainly enough to sculpt the human with the underlying anatomy as my guide.
