Examples of the use of portraiture for surface detail are the facial reconstructions of Ancient Egyptian mummies with related portraits. The portraits (Fayuum portraits) all date from the 1st to 2nd centuries AD and were produced using an encaustic technique ( Walker, 1997). These portraits have been analysed by Egyptologists to determine hairstyles, jewelry, fashion and social status. It has been estimated that there are more than 1000 mummy portraits, but fewer than 100 are still bound into their mummies. Several mummies with portraits have been studied ( Wilkinson, 2003b; Prag, 2002; Brier & Wilkinson, 2005) and, in all cases, following a resemblance assessment, the portraits were used to apply additional surface detail to the reconstructions.

It also shows how the anatomy transforms from birth to old age and it also explores a section where in-depth analysis of facial expressions were discussed.The book contains numerous images of reference of the various muscle groups from all the body positions and angled.

[ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] Anatomical illustration is fundamentally important to the teaching and study of anatomy. Martin Kemp provides a comprehensive overview of the stylistic changes in the illustration of anatomical texts from the fifteenth century to the present day, with some fascinating insights into the relationship between anatomical art and the knowledge of anatomy inherent in the paintings of the Renaissance masters. The early anatomical illustrations also had a profound influence on the first wax modellers, as Alessandro Riva and colleagues show, with special reference to the paintings of Fabricius and others in the 16th and 17th centuries, and to the extraordinarily beautiful wax models made by Clemente Susini in the late 18th-early 19th centuries. Roberta Ballestriero provides further perspectives on anatomical waxes, showing the stark contrast between the style of the London-based Joseph Towne and that of the Florentine artists, and providing a historical perspective on the use of wax for votive and other artefacts from Roman times to the present day. The wax modellers were so accurate in their portrayals that one of Susini’s models of a young pregnant woman has reproduced a cardiovascular defect, presumably the cause of death, analysed here for the first time by Giovanni Mazzotti and colleagues. In her article on anatomical waxes, Roberta Ballestriero confronts the issue of whether these models should be regarded as art or craft. Caroline Wilkinson asks a similar question of her work on facial reconstruction, a process that requires a thorough knowledge of anatomy. However, a degree of artistic licence is appropriate and inevitable where unknowable components of the anatomy are involved, such as details of ears and skin colour. The unpredictable elements are fewer than one might imagine – skeletal detail guides the size of the ear lobes and the form of the soft part of the nose to a surprising extent.

Facial expressions are a challenge even for seasoned artists. Why is that? Because facial expressions are so intricate. Bruce V, Henderson Z, Greenwood K, et al.

When drawing, the muscles in the leg focus on drawing the general shape of the quadriceps, the calves, and the kneecap. The author uses the terms chromophotograph and chronophotograph (and derivations of these words); these words have not been changed. Winslow’s thirty years of research and teaching birthed this great anatomy book that seasoned artists across the globe find useful.

The three-dimensional facial reconstruction technique discussed in this paper involves the production of facial sculptures onto the skull or skull replica (see Fig. 1). This approach involves modelling the facial musculature before applying a skin layer to depict the living facial appearance ( Prag & Neave, 1997; Wilkinson, 2004). Art Easels. One of my favorite ways to draw is by using a drawing easel, which develops the skill of drawing on a vertical surface. The H frame easel is an excellent vertical way to add variety to the style and type of marks you create when using a drawing board. gastrocnemius; 34, tensor of the fascia lata; 35, sartorius; 36, fascia lata drawn up by the triceps;
