Meet your instructor, professor and professional medical illustrator Roberto Osti. Then start the class by learning how to break down the complex body into simple shapes that you will use as the foundation for skeletal and muscular drawings.
Dive into an in-depth lesson on drawing the anterior skeleton with Osti's thorough instruction. You'll study the skull, torso, arms, hips, legs and feet, learning the functions and proportions of each bone along the way.
Explore the posterior view of the human skeleton as Osti shares professional tips for capturing each area, including best practices for drawing challenging areas such as vertebrae.
Complete your skeletal drawings as you move into an exploration of the human muscular system, determining the relationships between bone and muscle groups as you go.
Discover the muscles of the legs and subdivide specific areas for more accuracy. Working from the quads down to the ankles, you'll learn how each muscle group is connected.
In this thorough study of the back, Osti divides the subject vertically to illustrate various layers of muscles and show how to accurately capture the shape of the shoulders, sides and hips.
Discover common mistakes when drawing tricky areas like fingers and toes, and learn how to make your drawings more accurate and anatomically correct with Osti's expert guidance.
Learn about muscles in the face and neck, including expert tips on how to seamlessly connect each area. Then explore ways to draw brow lines, noses, lips and chins to create striking profiles.

Description

Discover the simple but powerful formula artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the inside out. Guided by fine artist Roberto Osti, you’ll learn how to realistically replicate the underlying structure of the body using easy-to-understand scales and ratios. Conceptualize the front and side views of the skeleton with basic shapes, and add detail with simplified depictions of complex bones and joints. Bring your sketch to life as you draw a muscle map of the body with volumetric form and realistic dimension, and master the feet, hands and skull to create a strikingly realistic rendering of the human form.
