In this lesson, special guest instructor Ed Foychuk teaches Arm Anatomy! He'll break down the arm into basic building blocks and show you how to construct it from the ground up - muscle by muscle.
ANATOMY
The chest and breasts make up a majority of the forward facing upper torso, making them a prominent spectacle when it comes to character bust shots - and as a comic artist, trust me, you'll be given plenty of opportunity to draw them. In this lesson, Ed Foychuk shows us how!

ANATOMY
In this lesson, we’re diving deep into the male torso - breaking it down into simple, manageable forms you can actually understand and use in your drawings. I’ll show you how the rib cage, pelvis, and spine all come together to build the structure of the torso, and how to see through the complexity so you’re not overwhelmed by all the anatomy sitting on top.

ANATOMY
In this lesson you'll learn a simple, straight forward method for drawing the pelvis that begins with a basic bowl form - that anyone can draw! We'll use this bowl as the foundation for our pelvis, plugging it into the midsection of the torso, and the legs. From there I'll show you how to structure the key muscle groups surrounding the pelvis - the glutes, groin, sartorius - and how they connect to the hips and thighs.
