BASIC SKELETAL ANATOMY DRAWING with Derek Leka.

Featured Event

APR 19, 2026

BASIC SKELETAL ANATOMY DRAWING with Derek Leka.

Derek Leka will present and discuss the foundational skeletal structures that remain constant as the human body moves. First you will study the skull; its forms, proportions, eye socket, nose shapes, jaw and teeth. You will then learn how the skull's structure relates to the rib cage and the pelvis. These areas will be simplified into clear geometric volumes, helping you see how the head, thorax, and hips maintain their structural integrity while shifting in orientation as the body bends, twists, and turns. By understanding these three key forms, you will gain a clearer framework for constructing the human figure.
