More about this anatomy figure

Drawing and sculpting the human face from a photo reference or life can be tricky, particularly when you are trying to create an original concept or composition. There are so many curved and organic surfaces to consider and portray, meaning it can be easy to lose your way in your work or become frustrated. For years artists have been making this process more straightforward by working from planar references.

The male and female planar busts are designed to help you portray accurate proportions and offer a reference that can be used to generate many different character concepts or artworks for years to come. By lighting the planar reference from different directions or holding it at a slightly different angle you can generate an endless array of lighting conditions and points of view. This would be almost impossible with a photo reference or when drawing from life. The possibilities of what you can achieve with these busts are therefore endless.

To make it even easier to identify the key planes and landmarks, the busts are cast in a gray resin that generates a useful, contrasting surface. The head is also split into two halves: the left side features simplified planes and the right side more planes and therefore more complexity.

Take care of your Anatomy Figure and do not leave in direct sunlight or discolouration may occur.

If you are a school, university or other centre for education, and would like to enquire about purchasing our range of anatomical models in bulk, please contact us at support@3dtotal.com

Love them but they are green not grey

I got my parcel with the anatomy figures a few days ago. When I unpacked them today I was a bit confused that all the figures (2 Planar Heads and 2 Planar Human Bodies) are in a mint green tinr than actually grey. When I read again on this page I was even more confused cause the description also says that they should be grey. They still serve their purpose but I much more prefer grey over mint green. Kind of rivals with my interior style and is not what I ordered. If this is the new variant than the text in the website should be updated and the colour be shown more clearly in the pictures where they appear more white or grey but not all greenish.

Very good. Product dimensions need to be checked.

You should check the dimensions on the product page.
This is one size smaller than the plaster figure that is usually used for drawing.
Of course, it can be used as a motif for drawing, and it is also sized to be placed on a desk for reference purposes.
The male version is slightly larger and has more detail, so if you can only afford one or the other, you may want to choose the male version.

Amazing

I received the package with the two busts, they are amazing, I use them for the light reference, plus, they fit in the hand which is nice. The material is heavy: they are stable.
And it's a great ornament too, I would really recommend them to anyone who would like to appreciate a solid reference for studies: the light reflexion is fantastic

The packaging was great, nothing broke during the delivery

Great

We are a retailer in Vietnam, our customers especially love this statue set. The size is just large enough for students to conveniently hold it in their hands and observe. The weight and material create a feeling of solidity and quality.

Amazing learning resources for studying facial planes and rendering of light

These are fantastic references and learning aides. I use them in different lighting scenarios too for studying light behaviour and shadow creation. When not being used they make great studio ornaments too!
