Traditional Art: Human Anatomy

Introduction:

Drawing the human body is one of the criterion in which an artist’s skills are measured upon. It is literally and figuratively the life of the drawing. Therefore, this course aims to aid artists in mastering their skill in character design; particularly those who feel their weakness in anatomy is holding them back from the recognition they deserve. The bottom line is: if anatomy drawing is one of your biggest cruxes, this course is for you.

​

We throw away conventions in learning from boring, stuffy and early morning lessons in the drawing studios copying onto newsprint from a live figure, all without really understanding it. We want to teach you HOW to construct what you’re seeing in your head from the skeleton to the muscles, yet without getting overly technical at the same time. Don’t worry, this isn’t medical school.

Ultimately, we aim to equip you with the navigational know-how and methodology in anatomy drawing for your journey as a growing artist, so that you may take to heart these practices and master your craft.
