Human Anatomy Reference Photos

Thursday July 9, 2009
human anatomy reference photoWhen you're drawing the human figure from life, it helps to know what is going on under the skin. Sometimes the angle or lighting can make it difficult to see what you are trying to describe, and sometimes you need to emphasize the anatomy to make it 'work'. Studying reference sources on the skeleton and musculature of the human body is an important part of any figure drawing course. If you are learning independently, include anatomical studies in your work. These Human Anatomy - Musculature Reference Photos are simple, clear illustrations without any text, to use as visual aids in your drawing.
