The anatomy app designed for artists

Yes. Art Anatomy is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. The complete 3D model, both figures, tap-to-identify, and single-muscle isolation are free to explore, so you can begin studying immediately. Art Anatomy Plus adds every dissection layer, muscle motion, extra render styles, movable studio lighting, the full label overlay, and unlimited photo poses. Plus is optional and available as either a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Choose any photo of a person and Art Anatomy detects the body landmarks, then matches a fully rigged 3D écorché to the pose in seconds. From there you can orbit the figure, refine individual joints, change the anatomy layer, and save the result as a reusable drawing reference. The entire analysis runs on your device: photos are never uploaded, no account is required, and the feature works without an internet connection.

An écorché is the classical “flayed figure” used in art schools: a model of the human body with the skin removed so the muscular forms can be studied directly. Artists use écorché figures to understand the masses beneath the surface, where muscles attach, and how those forms change with pose and viewpoint. Art Anatomy includes professionally sculpted male and female figures that you can pose, peel through, light, and study from any angle.

Art Anatomy is made for artists and art students working in figure drawing, life drawing, gesture studies, illustration, comics, concept art, sculpting, and animation. It is useful whenever a reference photo hides the anatomy or a pose becomes difficult to understand in perspective. Rather than starting with medical terminology, the tools begin with artistic questions: matching a gesture, checking an attachment, comparing silhouettes, and making sense of foreshortening.

Art Anatomy is available for iPhone and iPad through the App Store, and for Android phones and tablets through Google Play. The interface adapts to both compact phone screens and larger tablets, while keeping the same pose, layer, labeling, lighting, and reference tools. Once installed, the core anatomy reference does not require an account or a constant internet connection.

Yes. Tap any visible muscle to identify it, isolate it from the surrounding anatomy, or turn on the complete label overlay for the current view. Labels follow the figure as you orbit, helping connect the name to the three-dimensional form rather than to a flat diagram. You can also add a second language beneath each label and study the same anatomy side by side in any of ten supported languages.
