Foundation Art Course - Anatomy Series Part 02 - 5 Armature and Skeleton Drawing Demonstrations for Figure Ecorche Studies - Standing Poses 001

The goal of anatomy studies is to learn the human form as a working machine, assembled part by part visually describing how the body functions with its various parts. The best way to study these is to do ecorche studies, or studies of the human form without the skin, exposing all the inner parts, skeleton, muscles, tendons, and fascia.

With the study of the ecorche figure, we break it down into 5 total steps, this video series is part 2 of the process, part one being the breakdown of the armature and 3D space.

Part 1 of Anatomy Figure Drawing involves placing the skeleton within the armature. The armature is the skeleton, but a simplified version, almost like an inflated stick figure. It is the exact size of the skeleton, and nicely accommodates the skeleton within its contained space.

Part 2 will continue with more standing poses, seated poses, reclining poses, and action poses. We will take these skeletons and continue layering the figure back to completion with the next few steps.

Part 3 involves solving profundus, or the deeper muscles.

Part 4 resolves the surface muscles that sit over or cover parts of the deeper muscles.

Part 5 is the tonal drawing stage broken into its own series of steps.

Look for many more series of videos with commentary included with every video, the PSD demonstration files, and sometimes bonus material to help supplement the video education.
