About this site

Anatomy Drawing explains the structure of the human figure for people who draw it, in plain language, with guides, a glossary and answers to common questions.

What this site is

General art education: how bones, muscles and proportions help you draw figures that look solid and alive. Proportions and landmarks are conventions and rules of thumb; real bodies vary.

What it is not

It is not medical information. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a treatment or health advice, and it does not replace a medical anatomy course or professional training. For a health question, ask a qualified professional.

Sources

Where a guide cites a source, the link is at the end of that guide. Check the source for details before you rely on a figure.
