Anatomy 2.0 Draw the Figure From Imagination

Photo references for drawing and sketching.

In this lesson, we learn the basics differences between the male and female figure, which will help us draw better figures. I recommend learning this before getting into proportions.

We learn the proportions of the human figure. This is important. Do not skip it, please. This is the foundation of the human figure. If you don't get the proportions correct, then no matter how well you draw everything else, it will look wrong or off. This teaches us how to draw the human figure with a proper foundation.

We continue with proportions. We spend some extra time learning this because of how important it is. Proportions are important to learn how to draw the human figure.

We learn the basic structure and form of the female figure. It is important that we learn the basic structures of the figure before we dive into the anatomy.

Now we learn the male structure, which is not much different than the female and vice versa, as we learned in the first lesson of this course.

We learn the backside of the male structure.

Now we learn the female backside mannequin.

In the next two lessons, we learn how to draw the female figure from side view. Because the male is so similar, you will be able to draw the make from side view by simply looking at the resource image provided for this lesson. The butt is a bit higher, and the pecks with no fatty breast tissue.

Part 2 we continue to learn how to draw the female figure from side view. Because the male is so similar, you will be able to draw the make from side view by simply looking at the resource image provided for this lesson. The butt is a bit higher, and the pecks with no fatty breast tissue.

In this lesson, we learn how to draw the male and female from an angeled view.

Use this photoshop file as a reference.

Fre jpg of skeletons to draw muscles on top of.

I have included a photoshop file that has all the muscles drawn on different layers and arranged into folders. You can open this file in any program that supports photo layer file. You can open it in Paintstorm, my preferred drawing program. All the muscles are named. This is the reference for all the muscles we will draw.

In this lesson, we learn to draw the peck muscles.

In this lesson, we learn to draw the shoulder muscles. For references, check the first lesson in the anatomy section, which is how to draw pecks. I have included a top-down view jpg.

In this lesson, we learn to draw the bicep.

In this lessons, we learn how to draw the coracobrachialis, which is the muscle between the bicep and tricep, toward the base of the arm.

In this lesson, we learn how to draw brachialis, which also sets between the bicep and tricep like a piece of meat between bread on a sandwich. However, this muscle is more visible toward the elbow side of the arm.

In this lesson, we learn to draw the triceps, which are the large muscles on the backside of the arm.

In this lessons, we draw the upper body as an overview of the muscles we have learned so far. This gives us an idea of how they look when stretching or contorting.

In this lesson, we learn to draw the serratus muscles, which look like they connect to the rib muscles, creating a serrated edge.

In this lesson, we learn how to draw the abs and obliques.

In this lessons, we dive deeper into the forearm muscles to learn how they can change and look from different angles.

We continue to learn about the forearm muscles.

We dive deeper into the armpits and how the muscles look when the arm is raised.
