How to draw anatomy and movements

Learn the basic of drawing

Forms and anatomy

A human caractere should have 3 times the head width and 6 1/2 to 8 times the head tall. Watch on the men and women anatomy exemples how the center of the human body have 3 forms or block. One for the bust, one for the torso and the last for the pelvis. On this you add the head, arms and legs. Sketching those forms as a first step of your drawing will help you get better proportions and will be nessessary for more complex movements you want to draw. As for the anatomy that you draw on top of it, the only tips here is practice. Use exemples to copy at first and with time you will have the knowledge of where the shapes and muscles are placed. This should not be long for someone seriously interested in learning how to draw.
