The traditional artist s wooden manikin is more than a benign studio prop. It s a great tool for practicing figure drawing, while testing your knowledge of human anatomy. In this video Larry Withers shows you how to pose and render the manikin, and then to transform your drawing by smoothing out the contours, adding muscle groups and landmarks to create a life-like figure drawing. This program features demonstrations on drawing the human form from several angles, and creating action poses using the manikin. There's also a "Special Features" section where you can view numerous drawings and anatomical diagrams to aid you in your studies. In addition, these illustrations can be downloaded as PDF files for your convenience.
