In drawing the human body, it is very important to take into account its anatomical features and shapes - only knowing the anatomical structure of a person can you beautifully and realistically draw different parts of his body, creating voluminous and reliable drawings. In mastering the graphic image of a person, it is important to learn how to draw the back correctly, which means to study the location of the muscles that form it.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to keep track of exactly how the muscles connect and how they attach to the skeleton in the back. Find the attachment points for each muscle to the bones, and then begin sketching with a pencil, drawing pencil lines in the direction of the muscle fibers. The plastic structure of the back consists of two main fragments - the trapezius muscle and the broadest muscle. These muscles lie on the surface of the back and form its main relief, while the smaller muscles are located under them.
Step 2
Another muscle rises along the spine, which reaches the back of the head. Based on the shape and location of this muscle, draw two protruding ridges to the right and left of the spine, which are especially visible in the lumbar region. These muscles are attached to the sacrum and lower ribs.
Step 3
When drawing the shoulder blades, pay attention to the shape of the middle muscles, as well as the relief of the shoulder girdle, including the latissimus dorsi, as well as the relief of the shoulder blades, which is formed thanks to the trapezius and subosseous muscles.
Step 4
Learn also to draw the deltoid muscle - it is she who creates the rounded relief of the shoulder joint. As often as possible, sketch the correct anatomical shape of the human body from nature and draw the muscles of the body, paying attention to all the muscles of the back to get used to their relative position, and then improve your drawing technique. Only by knowing how the human body is built can you realistically draw its plastic shape.
