Anatomical drawings are drawings of animal anatomy. Blueprints of an animal if you will. They are used for education purposes, for the student to better understand how the animal body works. Perhaps an image of a human head, one half skin intact, where you can see the face, other half 'peeled' to reveal the muscles underneath. Anatomical drawings are made (instead of photographs) because the anatomical feature is easier to comprehend from a drawing. Anatomical drawing should be anatomically correct, AKA all details of the anatomy as authentically portrayed as is possible. Which means there is not much room for artistic whimsy or fantasy ideas. Anatomical drawings aim for best possible education. They are not realistic, as all the blood and gore is lacking, which is the exactly why they are better for study, as the student can focus on the details instead of the horror. Also because every individual is different, an anatomical drawing is most commonly a generalization of 'the perfect' alignment. Although anatomical drawings can also be made out of malformations.
