Why Take This Class?
If you are new to studying the field of illustration or have just started character drawing, it is essential to be familiar with the core contents of diagramming and anatomy.
However, it is difficult to find a class that covers both of these together. Therefore, beginners had no choice but to learn more and deeper content than necessary.
This class contains core diagramming and anatomy content that is just what beginners need and can be learned and used right away.
Connection of figure drawing anatomy, drawing know-how for each shape from face to torso to arms and legs, basic everyday poses and advanced poses, and even creative character drawing.
Illustrator Yongu U will tell you nothing more, nothing less, just the key points needed for beginners.

Over 30 Different Class
Materials Provided
This class goes beyond mere knowledge transfer. With over 30 class materials covering basic human body concepts, our goal is for you to internalize and apply what you learn. By engaging with comprehensive chapters and abundant class resources, you can rapidly enhance your drawing skills.
Create Your Own Character Using Principles of Geometry & Anatomy
Instead of extensive focus on diagramming or anatomy, we will prioritize essential concepts for beginners studying the human body for the first time. The curriculum aims to apply fundamental principles of diagramming and anatomy to create your own characters effectively!
Class Details
You'll Learn
-
Adopt an Attitude of ObservationAmong the core knowledge in the basics of drawing, you will learn observation methods to draw well, including knowledge of proportion, slope, silhouette, and shape, which are the basis for understanding the basics of the human body. -
Three-dimensional ViewAfter building basic knowledge, you will learn how to apply a three-dimensional effect to the human body by connecting it to perspective knowledge. This will enable you to view shapes in three dimensions and understand the form and structure of the human body. -
Understanding Diagramming and AnatomyAfter understanding the whole body as a diagram, we will explore the purpose of studying anatomy. First, you will learn the "landmark skeleton," which is the major skeletal structure, and then connect graphical human body concepts and anatomical knowledge to the movements of the human body.
-
Detailed Step by Step LearningAfter learning the major skeletal structures, we will cover the core principles of diagramming and anatomy in the order of center of gravity: head, face, hair, torso, arms, legs, hands, and feet. Through this course, you will master all the essential basics of drawing both the overall human body and its detailed parts. -
Learn and Immediately Apply Various PosesAfter learning the core of the human body, we will draw various poses in everyday life. You can upgrade your pose drawing skills sequentially by starting from standing and sitting poses and gradually drawing more difficult poses. -
Application and CreationBy applying the knowledge you have accumulated step by step, you will ultimately be able to complete one type of character of your own.

Question.02
What is the key point of this course?
What is the key point of this course?
This class will succinctly cover the key points of 'figurative drawing' and 'anatomy,' essential topics for beginners in drawing. The aim is to understand three-dimensional objects through diagramming and to learn natural human body expressions through anatomy. From the reasons for studying to the methods of study, I will provide information in an easy and friendly manner tailored for beginners.
Question.03
If you had to choose the target audience for this course, who would they be?
If you had to choose the target audience for this course, who would they be?
