Human Anatomy Fundamentals: Flexibility and Joint Limitations - Tuts+ Design & Illustration Article | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

"In this last session before we start putting faces on our characters, I'll be introducing flexibility. Flexibility is the ability to stretch a joint to the limit of its range of movement, aka "how joints can and cannot move". This material gathered from my own martial art and flexibility training is not frequently covered in books on drawing the human figure, but it complements the muscles in understanding the body in motion. It's also necessary in order to articulate the body in a natural-looking way, rather than like a wooden manikin with screwed-on limbs!"

Drawing the human form can be tricky especially when trying to draw someone in a flexible pose. This tutorial attempts to break down the flexible human anatomy into simple shapes and guides you can easily follow when drawing the anatomy. Enjoy!
