Day 6 - Anatomy - 12 Days of Proko Today I encourage you to do anatomy studies! Understanding the human machine helps us draw from reference, memory and invent from imagination. Some artists who have a lot of experience with anatomy can do quick studies at about 10 minutes per pose, but if you don't have several years of anatomy sketching under your belt, then it's better to allow more time (30+ minutes) to analyze deeper and gain a better understanding of what you're looking at. Beyond accuracy, go heavy on the structural skeletal scaffolding and design dynamic muscle shapes on top. Focus on the intricate relationships between body parts and how they change shape with movement. When you're stuck on a particular body part, my Anatomy of the Human Body course is the perfect resource. There are over 100 free lessons, so you're likely to get some clarity on any body type and over 250 premium lessons for when you want to get even more serious. INSTRUCTIONS: Go to https://proko.com/timer, select the Day 6 reference pack, choose the quantity and duration in the right sidebar, and start the session! When you’re done, share your anatomy sketches here in this thread for a chance to win some prizes.
