Many people who enjoy Drawing and Painting are intimidated by the idea of drawing the human body. The human body has so many curves and lines, everyone’s body is different but at the same time proportions are so important, and just a little difference can make a body look wonky and off. While there are many different body types in the entire human race, each human body has a base anatomy structure and functionality that applies to all bodies. Most of us are no medical students but as artists we can learn to observe how joints move, how far a body part can move, when can a certain tendon be seen, how do muscle, fat and skin move, fold or wrinkle. Here are somethings about the human body you can learn during Nude Life.

1. Body Proportions

The human body varies in shape and sizes but there are some base proportions that are relatively universal that will help you to construct a body that looks humanoid and functional. A simple example is how tall a human should be, when drawing an adult human, the general guideline used is 7-8 heads tall. Knowing proportions will help you to illustrate figures as you will know how to scale body parts relative to each other such as where the half-point of the body is or how the lower arm and hand are generally equal in length to the upper arm. Because we as humans spend our whole lives observing and seeing other humans, when we see a drawing of a human, it is easily recognisable to our eye if the proportions are wrong or unusual.
