overview
In the Figure Drawing course you learned a lot of core concepts of drawing the figure, but your training isn’t complete if you want to take your drawings from looking good to looking like masterpieces. Without an understanding of anatomy, your drawings will always feel like there’s something wrong. They won’t have that level of detail that you’ll see in a pro’s work.
I’m so freakin’ excited about how awesome this course is going to be. After this course you won’t need to guess what all those bumps are. I’ll teach you all the anatomy you need to draw the forms accurately and make them look like real people!
Note: This course contains nudity. Premium videos are uncensored so beware of private parts.
What you will learn
1Skeleton
The structure of the skeleton, its joints and landmarks helps you with proportions and drawing the body in motion
2Tracking Muscles
The origin and insertion (attachments) of muscles helps you place the muscles in the right spot and draw the right shapes
3Simple Forms
The planar blocky forms help you with shading, accurate perspective, and making the muscles feel 3D
4Layering
Understanding the layering of muscles helps you draw what everything looks like on the surface of a real person
5Cross Sections
Cross sections help you visualize the layering of muscles
6Variation / Body Types
Understanding body types helps you identify what kind of person or character you’re drawing, increasing accuracy and creative freedom
7Idealization
Knowing how to idealize helps you remove the things that hurt the drawing and add the things that are missing to make it better
8Function
The function of the body as a machine helps you understand its limitation and how to draw the body in motion – flexing, stretching, relaxing muscles…
9Draw!
Knowing how to actually draw this stuff helps with.. well, drawing this stuff!

What others are saying
Joe Watson
I have a lot to learn, but the improvement in my art has been huge - much faster than 3 years at a traditional ‘art’ school.
I found the Anatomy Course to be clear, concise, and well structured. The premium version contained extra material like the 3D models and E-books which are fantastic for further study. In the new Proko 2.0 you can pick up and put down the course whenever you need to. And I gotta say the premium version has more of Stan’s terrible/great comedy bits.
You can’t go wrong with the Proko Anatomy course. It’s definitely worth visiting as part of a self-built curriculum in art.

Taking your courses have been instrumental to my artistic development. Keep up the good work.
Sylvester Massey
I bought your anatomy and figure drawing courses! My drawings got better because of your courses! Thank you so much!
Mark Hilmy
I've plowed through LOTS of books/sites looking for good resources, and I've found yours to be among the very best. Thanks!
F.A.Q.
Why are there 3 courses?
Each course will explore that part of the body in detail. Together, they would take too long as a single course. As three courses, you will learn everything you need to know about each area, and spread out the payments if needed. If you want all three, you can buy them together and save money.
What is the difference between Premium and free videos?
Premium videos are extended versions of free videos. This includes additional demonstrations and critique videos. Whenever diagrams or photos are provided, premium students get high resolution versions, which you can download and print for your reference.
The videos are downloadable, so you can watch them without internet access and transfer them to a tablet like an iPad. Going on vacation? Download them so you can watch them on the plane and in that cabin in the woods.
You also get access to 3D models.
After the course starts. Is it too late to join?
No, you can join and watch them at any time.
Is this price a monthly fee?
No, it’s a one-time payment and you have access to the Anatomy videos forever. You are essentially purchasing a product. It’s not a subscription.
Can I buy this course as a gift?
Absolutely! You can get as a gift for someone.
Can I download the videos?
Yup! Each video is downloadable as an mp4 file at 720p. Please don’t share the videos. Each purchase helps to create future videos like these.
Are there subtitles in my language?
English subtitles are available on all videos. A downloadable transcript is also available for each video which you can translate to whatever language you want using Google Translate and clicking on the ‘Translate a Document’ option.
Do I get access to all videos you make in the future?
No, this includes only ‘Human Anatomy’ lessons.
Are the Premium videos censored?
No. These videos contain nudity. Beware of private parts.
Will you teach male and female anatomy?
Yup! When there is a difference in the anatomy I will show it. Such as proportions of the pelvis, rib cage and shoulders, addition of breast tissue, etc. I also use male and female models in all lessons to show the differences in muscle and surface volumes.
