Anatomical Structure for Artists

Identify key skeletal landmarks (e.g., clavicle, iliac crest, spine curvature) that influence surface form.

Draw simplified representations of the ribcage and pelvis to understand torso structure and movement.

Map the major muscle groups of the torso that affect the surface contours.

Simplify the major muscle groups of the arms and their primary functions (flexing, extending).

Simplify the major muscle groups of the legs.

Sketch a figure from reference, indicating how underlying anatomical structures create the visible bumps and curves.
