Face anatomy for sculptors

3D Model of a Male face. It has color-coding allocating the facial muscles. However, this is more of an art than an information piece. Our book "Anatomy of Facial Expressions" goes into a deeper description and studies of human facial muscles. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/collections/books/products/anatomy-of-facial-expression-paperback

A genuine smile is hard to create. You need to understand which muscles move. Even more importantly how they move and how they interact. In our books - anatomy of facial expressions we go in-depth and describe the creation of facial expressions with fully visual information.

SMILE - form front view. It's a complex system of muscles that brings this emotion to life. But understand how the forms are created in order to gain expression is always a challenge. A challenge that we always accept. Website: https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

On first look, mid-cheek looks like one big uniform chunk, but it is instead composed of lid-cheek, nasolabial, and malar segments. To achieve a realistic form, create these segments separately and then blend them together. Be careful cause if you make mid-cheek too uniform, the person will look swollen. If you accentuate each segment too much, on the other hand, the person will look older. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

Superficial fat pads are a significant factor affecting the form of the head and neck. The fat is distributed through 16 various fat pads, and 11 of them are paired, having counterparts on the other side of the face. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

A 2nd level block-out and a monochrome scan of the female lips in a neutral expression. It's often hard to understand the form of the female lips because the color information gets in the way – even more so when cosmetics are involved. The monochrome scan lets us see the form better, and the block-out highlights individual shapes. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

The masseter is the strongest of the cheek muscles. As a chewing muscle, unlike facial expression muscles, it has significant volume and is responsible for the roundness of the face. Its form is flatter near the zygomatic arch and becomes rounder towards the mandible. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/
