Artistic Anatomy

• Identify primary skeletal landmarks for accurate figure construction

• Analyze external muscle groups visible beneath the skin

• Apply classical measurement systems to human figures

• Construct the ribcage and pelvis as primary volumes

• Map skeletal joints of the arm and shoulder

• Define leg volume through skeletal landmarks

• Simplify skull geometry for facial placement

• Illustrate range of motion in human joints

• Demonstrate how muscles contract during movement

• Balance figures using the center of gravity

• Apply skeletal knowledge to active poses

• Represent depth through anatomical distortion

• Apply lighting to define anatomical volume

• Integrate all anatomical systems into one drawing

• Adapt anatomical rules for personal style
