Anatomy

(you know, thee most important part of our sculptures)
Muscle References 💪🏻
So that you know what shape to make your clay pieces in and how to place them on the body as you're bulking up your sculpture.
Females
Males
Hand References 🤚🏻
Feet References 🦶🏻
For more muscle placement and muscle guide references, ​I have been putting together a Pinterest Board to aide me and whomever finds it useful in the creation of proportionate sculpting. I hope you enjoy it.

Scaled Printouts

Use these guides to know where the bending point of the body should be to ensure you'll have a proportionate figure as an end-result. The overlying skeleton will help you know where to bend your armature as you're creating it with these guides. These are already formatted so that all you have to do after download is print on an 8.5x11 sized paper.
​
If an additional size is needed, contact me and I'd be happy to provide create it for you.

These are a collection of images I found on Pinterest that I find really helpful in making realistic figures. The book to the left I highly recommend as it is incredibly thorough and will drastically help you understand anatomy.

Body Shapes

I wanted to give you all visual aides on the different body shapes as I know not everyone likes to sculpt artdolls with perfectly muscular bodies. Human beings are much more diverse than that, so I created these videos that you can pause at any point to highlight those body shapes for your reference.
This list of body shapes will continue to grow with time to include a diversity of bodies.
