Female Anatomy for Artists Tutorial

12 hours of live sculpting and drawing with constant narration. No speedups or timelapses.

In this tutorial we will create a female body and head from scratch. I will explain in detail about the proportions, muscles, bones and forms, visible on the surface, without the complication of using all the Latin names, although we will get to know the most important ones. As a bonus we will make a male body out of the female one, to better explain the differences between them. I will also pay attention to the most common mistakes made.

My name is Niko, and i am a 3D character artist for about 11 years now. I started studying anatomy 20 years ago but at some point I realized that female anatomy was my weak point so I was searching for such tutorial. Sadly there were almost none available. And although female and male muscles and bones are pretty much the same, the forms are pretty different. So now, after alot of studying and practice, i decided to do a female anatomy tutorial myself and i am doing this tutorial by real time sculpting in Zbrush, because i think the best way to explain anatomy is to sculpt it in 3D and view muscles and forms from all angles.

We will start this tutorial by making the overall shape of a female head, and i will explain its forms and proportions. Then we will make the torso shape and i will explain its muscles and forms. Next we will make the legs, and we will talk about their forms and muscles too. Feet ar
