My pages for this section - your comment about the spice rack really hits home - I've started having trouble getting the proportions of the body correct using your method of dividing a shape (something I've never really struggled with before), but I can see it does yield some really nice, fluid results (I'm pleased with my 2nd crouched skeleton, but hated the first version enough to stop halfway through). I'm excited to continue the anatomy part of the course to really get to grips with it! And I've been practicing with my own characters too :) Btw, I finished my first sketchbook! Don't think I've ever finished one so fast, I'm really proud of myself! Ive cracked open the second one, and I can't wait to keep going!
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

Most artists draw skeletons as stiff, static objects. In this lesson, I'll show you how to draw the skeleton with gesture and character, as if it's alive and posing. You'll learn to apply gesture drawing methods to find the overall shape, use key landmarks, and simplify complex forms like the ribcage and hips. I'll also break down the structure of the spine and ribs, and show you how to create dynamic, balanced poses by offsetting the shoulders and hips. This is the key to building figures that feel truly alive.

At 27:51 and in the image attached to this class, the term should be 'vertebrae' - not 'cervicles'.
