New to Outschool? Enjoy $20 off this class with promocode: CHRISCH20 (New users only) HI! In this course, we are going to learn how to draw the human figure with an emphasis on muscles and anatomy. This is a great course for students who are already proficient at drawing people and want to take their game to the next level. We will be drawing the muscles of the human body in a slow step by step, follow-along format. We will first start with easy poses. Then we will do more active poses. Students will practice the same thing to build up repetition in their artistic muscles. *Wax on - wax off.* While I will be explaining the names of the muscles and a bit of anatomy, students don't need to memorize the names or need to be good at science. This is an introductory class for students to get a feel of the muscles and bones. While this does look difficult, it will help student's drawing abilities immensely! - Schedule - π° Class 1 - Front View π° Class 2 - Side View π° Class 3 - Back View π° Class 4 - Active Poses This is an advanced student for students who are already proficient in drawing the human body, and can draw fairy quickly. Students can expect to have 30-60 minutes worth of homework every week to practice what they have learned in class. While the homework is not mandatory, it is highly recommend for best results. Thanks. I look forward to seeing you in class!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to draw the human figure with an emphasis on muscles and anatomy. We are going to learn the names of the muscles, and how to draw the human figure in different positions and poses. Students will learn how to draw people with a superhero physique - or just draw normal people with a slightly more realistic attention to detail on their muscles and bones.
