I found this is one of the LinkedIn groups I’m in. Josh Reed shows by example, using both art and photos to explain figure drawing concepts, both in life drawing and imagination-based art. Concepts are taught, like how the muscles work and how the bones move, and then techniques are illustrated, like line quality, composition and gesture drawing.
Artists, I heartily recommend visiting the site and adding it to your bookmarks.
Enough of you seemed interested, or at least curious!, about this, so I gave it a shot! It is rather short and condenses lots of information, but I think it manages to get its points across, especially if someone is a beginner and needs to learn the very bare (no pun intended - well, maybe a little) basics.
Like I said, someday maybe I will do a more detailed version with more on clothes and how it can affect shape, but that would also require me to conquer my fear of tutorials for a second time. WE’LL SEE.
ALSO. It wouldn’t be a proper tutorial on anatomical structure, if I didn’t put a disclaimer down here and say that there is never a good substitute for life drawing or real study of the human body if you want to learn the correct way something works. Even the examples shown here are stylized, so ENJOY but bear this warning in mind!
I cannot stress how much truth there is to all of the above. And I personally hope, Sephiramy, that you do tackle and beat your fear of tutorials again, because this is very well done. Thank you for this!
