Head Study vs Ecorche: Portrait Anatomy Usage & Stats

Artists have always needed a quick and easy reference to help them understand the anatomy & forms of their portrait models. The Head Study App, is that resource. These portrait models were created to make the study of portraiture easier, but also to enhance your knowledge of the human form. The appearance of the face can be understood best by studying what is underneath the surface. The simplified planar head and the skull in this app are made with the same proportion to make this comparison as clear as possible. FEATURES: + Simplified “planes of the head” model + Anatomically correct male skull model + Tumble and zoom the 3D model from 360 degrees + Adjust the position & strength of multiple lighting situations + Switch between simplified planes, skull, and muscular views + Toggle an informational overlay indicating, key structural features, or anatomical insights + Adjustable background value This app was developed to go along with the lessons on my Patreon page.

Ecorche: Portrait Anatomy

Knowledge of anatomy is crucial for creating vivid and believable portraits. Ecorche is an anatomy learning app specifically for artists. The app has an intuitive interface for easy navigation through 4 layers of facial anatomy: • Skeletal — the foundation of the body, the bony landmarks help us track the muscles. • Muscular — muscles give the body it’s basic shape. • Fat — fat pads have a major effect on the shape of the face. • Skin — skin is a layer with more subtle features for an artist to capture. Skin, fat and muscular layers can be viewed in translucency ("X-Ray mode") to explore the layers relationships. In the "Gypsum Mode", you can turn your model into a sculpture. You can also customize the three-point lighting to your taste and thus study shape, value and color. In the free version, you can observe the skin layer in both default and "gypsum" modes, all other functions are available in the Pro version. The "Lex" model is created by the talented artist Kent Trammell from CG Cookie.
