Chapter 2. Human anatomy and figure drawing

http://hippie.nu/~unicorn/tut/xhtml-chunked/ch02.html Chapter 2. Human anatomy and figure drawing Before we start, I'd like to point out that knowledge of human anatomy is not a replacement for studying the body from real life or photos. So keep cranking out those sketches! (And hoarding those Victoria's Secret catalogs and similar magazines. Strictly for reference, of course.)

The hand

http://hippie.nu/~unicorn/tut/xhtml-chunked/ch02s05.html The hands are a notorious source of frustration. This section won't concentrate on the muscle structure, since the hand is very complex in this regard, and knowing this won't help much in drawing them. Instead, we'll look at proportions, range of motion, and possible simplifications.

How to Draw the Head From Any Angle | Stan Prokopenko's Blog

The Basic Forms To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further.

I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah!

In this tutorial I will go over the structure of the nose and give detailed information about the bridge , ball , and nostrils of the nose. At the end, I will show a step by step of a nose drawing. The Major Planes When drawing the nose, I’ll usually start by indicating the 4 major planes - top, 2 sides, and bottom. http://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/2009/06/draw-nose/
