As artists and especially as comic artists we have to have a good understanding of human anatomy. It is not an easy task but it is definitely worth the effort. You can immediately tell when an artist spends time doing their studies of the human body. From gesture and figure drawing to countless illustrations of the complex muscles and their relationships, nothing about it is simple but it truly transforms your art into something to be desired.

I avoided these studies for far too long in my own career. Even after hearing criticism from professional artists and editors that I admired. We have all been there or will hear it at some point, “You need to work on your anatomy! It is never fun to hear a comment like that but it is the cold hard truth. If you want to be a great character artist, you need to study anatomy.

So let’s stop avoiding what we know we need to learn. I created these lessons to help simplify the anatomy and make the drawing process easier to accomplish. In this first class we will focus upon the Arm Anatomy. Here is the class introduction to let you know what you can expect to gain from it –

Welcome to my class, “Dynamic Anatomy for Artists – Drawing the Muscles of Arm.”

I am extremely excited to bring you these lessons on drawing the muscles.  Learning anatomy isn’t easy but it will vastly improve your ability to draw impressive character designs and comic book superheroes.

What You Will Learn in This Class – 

• How to Draw the Muscles
• Basic Terminology
• Visual Patterns
• Form + Volume
• Stylizing the Work
• Efficient Ways to Improve

This class is designed to simplify the process of drawing the arm anatomy.  I will teach you the basic forms that I use to draw the arm from memory and you will get access to all the art files to study along with.  Including diagrams with all the terminology.

Don’t beat yourself up though!  Just try to improve a little each day and commit a muscle or two to memory here and there.  Consistency is the most effective way to improve in my opinion.  Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?! 😉

After you work through the anatomy breakdowns I will show you how to implement this into a few examples. We will work on these to help you transition your new skills into your own stylized version.
