Simplified Figure Drawing — Part 2: Body Parts & Anatomy

Build on the gesture and structure ideas from Part 1 by breaking the figure into its major body parts.

This course focuses on the head, neck, torso, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet — helping you understand how each part is constructed, how it connects to the rest of the figure, and how to simplify complex anatomy into usable drawing ideas.
