🐎 What makes an animal drawing feel alive?

It starts with understanding movement, structure, anatomy, and silhouette.

These horse gesture studies by Illustration student Claire Nantais were created for 'Animal Drawing' class, where students learn to break down animals from the skeleton outwards to create stronger, more convincing drawings.

Watch a master of anatomy at work 👀🦴

In the full masterclass, Steve Millard breaks down:

- how skeletal structure controls the flow of the body
- how artists “draw through” forms to understand volume
- why anatomy is really about rhythm, construction, landmarks, and mass
- how muscles wrap, stretch, compress, and connect across the figure

This clip is just a tiny sped-up glimpse of the actual breakdown 👀

The full masterclass recording is now up on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/4TC1ZjjIRYM

⚠️ Steve’s Artistic Anatomy workshop starts June 1st and registration closes FRIDAY.

If you’ve been wanting your figures to feel more solid, believable, dynamic, and alive - this class is a massive opportunity to learn directly from an instructor with decades of anatomy teaching experience.
