Here’s an old (over ten years old) sketch book of mine that got water damaged. I can’t bear to throw it away. Have a look!

I signed up for Proko’s anatomy course. I thought I knew almost everything about the human body, but thanks to Stan Prokopenko and his Proko.com site, my knowledge of anatomy is at a whole new level. I recommend his site over any of the anatomy books I’ve studied, and I have a stack of anatomy books 3 foot high.
If you don’t want to purchase his courses, Stan generously gives you about 50% of the content free of charge on Youtube.
Here are some sketchbook pages from my studies tonight. This sort of intensive study is worth it. When you know the bones and ligaments and how they connect, you can draw the figure with confidence!
Don’t just listen to or read the lesson. Drawing through the material commits it to memory. I enjoy studying, sketching and observing to constantly improve.
Another good reason to study! Imagine yourself as not having to stop and consult reference every time you draw the figure. If you know the anatomy inside out you can speed through it, even take artistic license and break some rules!
Oops! I misspelled “half”!

Thanks, Stan you’re an amazing teacher!
