Course Highlights


Drawing the Pelvis, Buttocks and Arms

The pelvis is the primary support point for the torso, thighs and legs, connected to the head by way of the backbone. The most visible part of the pelvis is the iliac crest, which connects with the hipbone. A woman's pelvis is shorter and wider than a man's and her hip bone is much more visible. To properly define the upper buttocks, the hip line must be marked, creating an inverted triangle at the point where the cheeks meet.




Upper Limbs/Arms are comprised of 3 distinguishable parts; the shoulder (deltoid muscle), the arm (biceps), and the forearm.





Women's Limbs are more delicate and less overtly muscular. They tend to narrow more at the elbows, wrists.
