Anatomical drawing

Anatomical drawing is a fundamental practice in artistic training that involves representing the human body with close attention to its internal structure—bones, muscles, and proportions. It is commonly done in art academies or universities, using live models—often nude—so that students can study and understand human anatomy directly. This technique aims not only for visual accuracy but also for a deep comprehension of how the body works, which is essential for creating realistic figurative artworks, sculptures, or medical illustrations.
