KoM's Anatomy References for Everyone

[KingofManga420]

As an artist currently learning anatomy, I know how extremely difficult it is to find models and poses to work with... It's ridiculous how much money you have to pay to find quality photos sometimes, so in the interest of helping people on this site I figured I would offer my private collection of models to download. I paid for everything you see in the download (besides the 7 books), so a thanks would be appreciated although unnecessary.

Give me hundreds of poses now

Thank you, this will certainly help out!

I'm glad I can help. I'd spent hours looking for anatomy reference before and It's a mission of mine to make sure no one has to do that shit.

And I will punch anyone who ever says use posemaniacs

I had to buy physical books back in the day.

Oooooh, anatomy references. Of real people even! Look at the skin as it forms into itself...

Thank you indeed, this tells a lot of things.

Study well.

Wow I didn't realize how big these files are. Microsoft's cloud service doesn't apparently give you a total number for the entire bunch beforehand so I wasn't sure how long this would take. I'm at 2.3 gigs so far. I normally use Google Drive myself since they would give you a ballpark estimate.

The books are lightweight but the photo collection is VERY high quality, we're talking around 2300 x 3500 px 300 DPI I think. Probably more.

Guess I forgot to mention that.

That's OK, I should've known (at least grab the books but the photos are the icing on the cake).

Trust me, you want the photos more. The books aren't that great but the photos are incredibly detailed and they have a much, much wider pose pool to draw from.

The books I just kinda added cause I had them sitting around but don't use them

OK, how many more to go would it be then, I'll be leaving to see my brother in Connecticut tomorrow.

It shouldn't be that much more.

This is great, but I kind of want to study the individual muscle groups first. Do we know any good resources for that?

Thanks. Just managed to buy some DVD blanks just in time!

I have a book I can upload as well that covers all of that if you'd like. It's very well explained and has a lot of detailed artwork showing it but its methods are a bit new to approach. It's not like your typical 'how to draw anatomy' bs that's for sure.

I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Here you go, Ms. Trickie. If you find it helpful I may add it to the OP... I can look around later through my stuff but I'm not sure I have many other things that teach the actual anatomy. I told you I work with my mentor/friend one on one so most of what I learn is from his notes and tutorials he makes specifically for me and I don't know if he wants me sharing. He assigned this book specifically to me though to use in conjunction with what he teaches me, I can vouch for its quality.

I do think it can be done better in a few places though, I had to learn arms separate from it since it didnt go piece by piece like the torso did.

Also a sidenote, I'm almost done learning basic anatomy~! I only have the legs left.

Spoiler: Some examples

I figured I'd show you guys some studies that I've done. I did all 6 of these yesterday, and my mentor said my proportions are really good this time and that after another day or so of upper body I'll be moving on to the legs.

They're in frames because I was also practicing composition

I could learn greatly from this, so thanks for sharing.

Would making their skin transparent help? http://www.posemaniacs.com/

UPDATE FROM KOM: No it wouldn't
