Anatomy for Figure Drawing

Do you want to be a professional comic artist, concept artist, or storyboard artist, etc?

Then you need to be able to draw the human figure quickly. Most artists can’t do this because …

They never learned Anatomy for Figure drawing.

My course teaches you anatomy for figure drawing in an easy to understand way, but don’t take my word for it.

Scroll down and watch some of the free lectures. I offer a few hours free so you can see that my teaching style is for you.

In this course, you will learn the basics of proportions, and how to simplify the skeleton. You will learn the draw the skeleton and learn where all the muscles attach, which is key to drawing figures from imagination. You will learn a simplified muscle map, simplified mannequin and more.

You will even learn how muscles change when in different poses. You will also learn where fat builds up, and all the different body types. This is the last and only anatomy for figure drawing and comics you will ever need. Money back guarantee, upheld by Udemy’s high standards.

I also have bonus videos, like how to draw breasts and a quick sculpting of the human video.

This is a huge course, but well worth the time. 65 hours, but ...

you are ready to draw figures like a pro, so simply scroll down and watch some of the free videos.

so far

So far, everything is explained clearly and repeatedly which helps me understand and retain the information.

This Course has really been helping me keep on track so far with it since the lessons are easy to follow and broken up into doable time chunks.

So far so good)) The great thing is that Neil encourages the efforts to get something cool out of the pencil, and gives understanding of how and what to do.

Thank you So far it’s been already quite helpful.

So far I ma learning everything that I expected to learn.

Unfortunately, I genuinely do not feel I have gotten anything out of the course so far.

The course so far is easy to understand and follow along with, allowing you to effortless draw while the instructor is explained processes and technics.

I really enjoyed the lesson everything males since in simple form Very helpful and informative So far explanations have been effective and extrapolation of points has been relevant and informative It was very informative full of helpful knowledge teaching you how to draw images from the imagination while keeping things proportionate.

step by step

Great course Step by step learning the proportions.

Stay on track and do step by steps like we are.

You must do the work to be successful and this does a great job at encouraging you to follow step by step.

I love how this is broken down step by step.

I have personally found this far more useful than any book I have used, as it has given me a step by step method of breaking down the human body and measuring correct proportions, which is something I have previously struggled with.

The instructor took time to explain everything step by step.

It was easy to follow and presents a good step by step approach to technical proportions and how to simplify.

Really simplistic and easy-to-follow step by step guide that really helped me understand the basics of the human skeleton.

course clearly has a defined structure, is incredibly easy to follow as instructor provides step by step guide.

The added bonus as well as the step by step timing was fantastic.

easy to follow along

It’s simple yet educational and easy to follow along to.

He bounces around a little bit but simplifies the concepts in a way that make it very easy to understand and stays at a pace that is easy to follow along.

I like it but I like the pencil drawing more I can't get it from the the other way very well He is pretty aware of the common learning process Simple, straight forward and easy to follow along...you might make an artist out of me yet!

easy to follow, good pace It’s easy to follow along l have to start it over a couple of times to get the concepts, but it's coming along well.

good explanations and pace, excellent concept Love the details Excellent course, easy to follow along.

draw the human figure

I love the amount of detail he goes into when explaining the references and proportions of how to properly draw the human figure.

Love that there's so much content and that the teacher takes such a methodical approach to learning to draw the human figure from the ground up.

I have learned a lot about how to draw the human figure.

This instructor is very thorough and I'm looking forward to continuing Using Photoshop to demonstrate allows instructor more latitude to further illustrate a principle Excellent way to show someone who is learning to draw the human figure get the correct ratio of the human body.

looking forward

I have to get offline now- but I am looking forward to this course!

I am just half way through the course but i have learned so much and looking forward on completing it and seeing how it all comes together in my own drawings.

His system makes sense, looking forward to next lesson.

looking forward to the next part after I give this a bit more practice.

Looking forward to learning more as the results will be filling in the gaps I currently have pertaining to poses I try to imagine.

I am looking forward to reviewing this first video, practicing more, memorizing it, and going on to the next lesson.

I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

I can Say hands down my drawing skills have improved and Knowledge on the fundamentals have increased considerably, Really an Amazing course !!!

teaching style

It is very addicting and I love Neil's teaching style and his techniques!

The teaching style is a near perfect fit for me.

The teaching style did not work for me.

The instructor is very talented, just not a teaching style that works for me.

I love the teaching style, the explanation and pace are really good and well adapted to my level (I am a beginner).

I thought the teaching style is simple and easy to understand.

It took me around 10 mins to kind of get into his teaching style.

Easy to follow teaching style.

these courses

I'm Learning a lot from these courses Great course.

- Ondrej Neil is a dedicated thatcher and I can tell he puts his all into these courses.

Recommend to everyone who likes to learn more about human figure.Thanks So far these courses have been really amazing.

This course was a good match for me because before I took these courses, I would draw people a lot.

So by doing these courses, I will know how to properly draw the human body and know the proper body structure.

I personally think these courses are very helpful and easy to understand.

I've already found multiple incorrections with my anatomy because of these courses!

U waste of money These courses, along with the rest of the courses by Neil, offer the most essential information and easy instruction for any one that's interesting in developing their skills as an artist.

goes into

He provides information in a definite matter, goes into a lecture about why you should practice what he has just shown you, then later (oftentimes in another video entirely), he will correct himself.

He could've easily taught us how to draw a face without showing all the little muscles which goes into the eyes, the nose, etc.

It goes into great detail about proportions and how to memorize them so that you can draw from your head.

I've just finished the first lesson and the second goes into the skeletal and muscular structure of the body.

The instructor goes into details but he explains it in a way that is easy to understand and he demystifies the drawing art and its awsomness!

Best course on perspective ever, Goes into great detail on muscle anatomy.

skeletal structure

The opening is a smooth ride, but as you progress through the skeletal structure, things begin to degrade.

For example, he was drawing the skeletal structure of the feet and said something along the lines of, "we'll go into the bone structure of the feet later.

Once in a while is fine, but it feels like the vast majority of the proportions and skeletal structure have been talking about the need of practice rather than going through information.

He demonstrated of what will be covered in the next lesson ( how to draw the individual bones and how they fit into the skeletal structure).

I came into this video with prior knowledge of the basic skeletal structure of the human figure, so it was more of a refresher and learning extra things I didn't know, but it was still great.

The instructor is clear with what exactly he is talking about and elaborates on how each step is important when trying to memorize the skeletal structure.

rather than

However, right now, I feel I will get more out of looking at still diagrams of the structures rather than following fully through with this course.

Very thorough explanations that help you understand the underlying concepts rather than blindly following a technique Very good explanation Really good from A to Z !Totally worth it !

Udemy should not have urged a review at this early stage of the “course.” So, because the instructor’s images of muscle drawings looked promising, rather than requesting a refund, I will keep this course and check them out at a later date – after I learn anatomy for figure drawing from someone who is better prepared to teach it.

the instructor is concerned that the students get a good grounding, a solid understanding of the human figure, as the instructor says, to be able to draw from memory, anywho, i am continuing on my path Talks a lot but doesn't say much.... needs to focus himself rather than yammering while drawing maybe draw and then record a commentary instead He talks too fast.

following along

Following along on paper is very challenging I have even tried to make copies of my skeletons, but getting all the layers of muscles was challenging to discern between on paper.

He ends up redrawing a lot of things which is annoying when you're following along in pen.

If you treat this course like a real college course that you have to go to in person, watching one lecture each day and following along and then practicing both after the video is over, and before you start the next video the next day, you WILL get better, MUCH better.

so I had to keep erasing or getting confused when following along These lesson's are much more convoluted than they should be.

Lesson is easy to pause to do some extra practice and continue following along.
