How to Draw: the Pelvis (Patreon)

The next focus in our anatomy series is the pelvis.

The pelvis is one of the major masses of the human figure and it’s important to understand it’s size, landmarks and motion so that we can draw believable gestures.

Understanding the pelvis and being able to draw it believably can take your gestures from so-so to the next level.

Drawing it well will give you better:

• volume

• form

• anatomy

• shape language

• storytelling

• weight

In this video I cover the skeleton, landmarks of the pelvis, how to simplify the pelvis into a simple box form, how to apply that to our bean torso and how to work the pelvis into our gesture process. 

Stay to the end of the video to see some example of different body types and things to think about as you build the muscles and flesh around the pelvis. 

Let me know below what you thought of the video and if you have any more questions about the pelvis.
