Drawings - Anatomy

I went to a fabulous anatomy workshop with artist Alan McGowan at the Bristol Drawing School a while back (I do hope to catch up to myself soon!); below is a shot of Alan's demonstration drawings from the workshop; he built these up as he explained the muscle groups:


I feel much less overwhelmed by anatomy now but still, I never knew there was just so much of it! And it is incredible.....your scapula (shoulder blade) is actually translucent, WOW! Ok, so that isn't exactly prime information, as the opportunities to draw disarticulated shoulder blades are pretty limited, but still, Wow. The body is just the most amazing thing. Here are a couple of my drawings from the workshop:


Seeing Alan's anatomy drawings and studies has inspired me to start my own anatomy sketch book. I hope it will be a good way to interrogate my ever increasing collection of artistic anatomy books to improve my knowledge and understanding. I'll post some pages once I get going with it.
