Naturalist Animal Illustration with Procreate

Overview

“In this lesson we will talk about animal anatomy trying to apply it to our artistic field. First, we will see how the anatomy of an animal can be simplified using dynamic concepts (axes, volumes, curves, etc.). We will see how we can deduce the anatomy of a species through the anatomy of related species (dogs, wolves, foxes ... they belong to the same family and their anatomy is basically the same with changes in proportions). Later, we will see how to study the anatomy of our animal more strictly taking anatomical studies as a reference. We will also see the elements of external anatomy in vertebrates: skeleton, musculature, soft tissues, integument (skin, hair, feathers, horns ...). Finally, we will learn how we can use anatomy to create a pose consistent with the behavior of our animal. ”

In this video lesson Román García Mora addresses the topic: Animal anatomy, which is part of the Domestika online course: Naturalist Animal Illustration with Procreate. Learn how to illustrate the animal world in detail from your iPad and divulge it visually.

Partial transcription of the video

“ANIMAL ANATOMY Just like drawing characters or humans, knowing anatomy is important to build our animal. That knowledge will be useful to draw the animal from your imagination. We'll be able to learn how it moves, how to draw it in perspective, how the light affects its volume and give it a more precise pose. We can free ourselves from a photographic reference to draw the animal. There are two ways to understand anatomy. First, strict anatomy, the one used by scientists, and it's difficult to learn. The other option is to see it simplified, using simple geometric shapes and axes to define t...”
