Every good artist's ability to draw the human figure is based on the study of its anatomy and the analysis of its form. When you are able to draw as your eyes see, you can go farther and allow yourself certain creative freedoms. Diego Catalán is passionate about everything human, both the physical and the psychological, and is an expert at capturing the essence of the body in great detail.

In his previous course, Realistic Portrait with Graphite Pencil, he showed how to use different techniques and tools to achieve a unique portrait. However, in this one, you will have the opportunity to analyze the surface and the bone and muscle structure of the body to learn how to successfully draw the human figure from scratch.

Description

Learn step by step how to illustrate the human body proportionally by analyzing its structure

Start by getting to know your teacher, Diego Catalán. Briefly review his extensive professional career and discover some of his fundamental influences in the development of his work as an artistic anatomy teacher, among them some essential books. Then, Diego gives you the first notions of what this figure drawing course consists of.

Once the materials to be used are presented, start by sketching the first lines of the drawing and continue with the development of some basic elements of form, perspective, proportion, balance, and gesturing. Also, analyze how light affects and enhances the volume of the body.

Then, go deeper into the different structures that make up the human body. Study the different anatomical blocks, their morphology, bone and muscle structure, and the way they affect the visible surface of the body.

To finish your creation, make some minor adjustments to your drawing and learn the best ways to preserve it. By the end of the course, you will be able to draw anybody from your easel in a technical and detailed way.
