For beginners who are just starting out with drawing the human body, this book will help you build a solid foundation in just one book. For those who are learning about the human body but feel they need to improve their skills, this book will help you put an end to your worries about drawing the human body.


- Understanding the big picture through the structure and diagram of the human body
- Understanding the bones and muscles of the head, torso, arms, legs, hands, and feet
- The principle of perspective, which expresses a picture in three dimensions
- Mastering realistic clothing wrinkles according to movement

A one-book guide to human body drawing for both beginners and experts.
Learn the human body and anatomy properly with 『Natural Human Body Drawing』, which focuses on only the essentials!

There are so many people in the world, and they all look different.
That's why if you only learn standard proportions and draw the human body, you won't be able to apply them.
In the end, I drew it the way I learned, but the finished drawing was somehow awkward and unnatural.
That doesn't mean you need to study all the extensive data about the human body.
『Natural Human Body Drawing』 systematically covers everything from line practice to geometry, anatomy, perspective, and clothing (folds and shoes).
If you want to study the human body but don't know where to start and are frustrated, or if you've studied the human body hard but aren't getting the results you wanted, "Natural Human Body Drawing" can help.


You don't need to know all the bones, muscles, and other information to draw the human body!

To study the human body efficiently, first, we understand the overall proportions and three-dimensionality of the body through its structure and geometry to understand the big picture.
The diagram divides the shape into head, torso, arms, legs, hands, and feet to make it easy to understand.
Then, by learning about anatomy and how bones and muscles affect appearance, you can accurately and naturally create your own unique feel for the human body.
I'll teach you only the skeleton, shape, and muscles that influence the human body, which will be helpful to know when drawing the human body.
Match the colors of the bones and muscles with the text to help you understand intuitively.


Learn the principles of perspective and folds in clothing to create three-dimensional drawings!

The reason why it is difficult to draw a three-dimensional object on a flat surface is because perspective is not well understood.
We accurately applied perspective to the human body to help people understand the three-dimensional effect.
Clothes have many variables, such as human body movement, various materials, and shapes, so it is difficult to draw them by memorizing a specific shape.
After learning the basic principles of how clothes wrinkle, we will help you understand by applying examples of clothes wrinkles according to the material of the top and bottom and pose.


Increase the completeness of your human body drawings by directly tracing the shapes of each human body.

If you only look at the finished work and draw it, you will only be able to draw the appearance rather than the order in which it is drawn.
Then, rather than drawing the human body, you are merely copying the visible subject, so it is of no help in drawing the human body.
It's easy to draw as if you were watching a video, with the drawing process included in order along with the finished work.
