Patrick’s Free Art Course – Lesson 04 Anatomy – Exercise D

Posted on

For exercise D we are going to do an  drawing. The écorché is a drawing of the anatomy without the skin. In the past they used to do both drawings and sculptures of people and horses etc with just the muscles and bones etc. And this is really a great way to really understand how they all fit together and make the figure. Matter of fact if you can find a course locally that teachers you to make an Écorché figure it would be wonderful to take.

Any way for this exercise we are just going to do the drawing and in B&W. We want to do the full figure but you can pick the pose. Just make sure you have enough information to do it correctly.
