For Anatomy the best book you can get is called Zbrush Digital Sculpting: Human Anatomy
by Scott Spencer. Also Pixologic’s Paul “Zpheres not sculpty balls” Gaboury.
thanks , exactly the thing i am looking for :):):)
and maybe something on texturing in zbrush ?
The best book for learning human anatomy is “Clinical Anatomy by Richard S Snell”. I am a medical student and I use it. It has got all the necessary details in it. However, if you don’t like books and want to study human anatomy on the go, there is a very useful website. They have great content on their site and it is all about human anatomy.
The website is Human Anatomy Online
If you really need a book for texturing try the Zbrush intro book by Eric Keller.
It is literally called Introduction to Zbrush 4. They will cover the basics of tiled textures, texture maps, and all that snaz.
Add: I disagree that Snell’s book is the best for this context. Its a medical book and goes quite a bit into human anatomy, much of which is really not that important for the digital artist. Don’t get me wrong, all information on the human body is useful, but I think when one is considering learning zbrush and anatomy within the context of sculpting, what becomes important is knowing the shapes and muscles which will be present for creating a figure, as well as knowing the best methods to make it possible within the given software. Sure Snells book is a great reference, but not something I would recommend as study material, especially outside of the medical field.
