anatomy referance books

[dave_c]

id like to improve my modeling and it seems that the area in which i most lacking is in my knowledge of anatomy.

i was thinking of buying a few books, such as greys anatomy, anatomy for dummies etc but thought i would ask in here first to see if anyone else could suggest a few good'ns.

im mainly interested in muscle/bone structure, but its all important.

thanks people.

I've been using this book lately, first anatomy book I've bought though...

Explains each and every part of the human form to a tee and more importantly how to draw them. Even through the walls of texts at the start of each section you start to visualize the bone, muscle and so on, so by the time you start drawing it you know how to begin.

Like I said though, this is my first book so I can;t say if there is a better one XD

Classic Human Anatomy : This book I bought recently, and it has helped me significantly with my knowledge on anatomy. It has filled in a lot of gaps and broke down every muscle on its own page.

Anatomy for the Artist : This book was really helpful in getting started. It gives a great overview of the muscle groups and illustrates the muscles in a very realistic manor. It also gives a lot of pictures of people so that you can see how the skin looks over the muscles.
