FlippedNormals - Introduction to Anatomy

Welcome to Introduction to Anatomy! In this tutorial, you’ll learn everything you need to know about anatomy as an artist, so you can create your own characters with confidence. We’re taking the complicated topic of anatomy and breaking it down into simple terms - finally making it accessible to everyone regardless of skill level and previous experience.


In Introduction to Anatomy we’re covering all the core building blocks of the human body and learning to create life-like characters. But this tutorial isn't just a wiki on muscles and bones – it's a journey to understanding the fundamental anatomy that makes us all unique. Discover the key elements of bones, muscles, fat, and skin, and how to use them to create believable and captivating characters.

Learn the Anatomy Recipe
Learn the step-by-step recipe for creating characters that feel grounded and real. While anatomy might seem complex, fear not! We've broken it down into a simple 4-step process, giving you a clear and practical roadmap to master the art of believable anatomy. You'll learn all about the hero muscles like the biceps, triceps, quadriceps, trapezius, deltoid, abs, latissimus dorsi - and many more!

Made for Artists, Not Doctors
Introduction to Anatomy is tailor-made for artists who want to make believable characters, not for doctors. We're simplifying complex anatomy into practical knowledge that you can immediately use in your art. While we use the correct anatomical terms where it makes sense, we always focus on making the anatomy practical and easy to understand.

The Perfect Blend of Theory and Practical
Introduction to Anatomy is split into Part 1: Learning Anatomy and Part 2: Sculpting a Figure. In Part 1, you'll learn the theory of anatomy, a recipe for creating believable anatomy, and everything you need to know about the important bones and muscles in the human body. In Part 2, you'll learn how to sculpt a full figure, putting the knowledge to the test.
