Anatomy Tutorial: Pelvis

Drawing the Pelvis: Structure, Motion & Gesture Integration

The pelvis is one of the core masses of the human figure and understanding its size, landmarks and movement is essential for creating believable, expressive gesture drawings. This tutorial breaks down the complexity and shows you how to simplify the pelvis into a usable, dynamic form.

What you’ll learn:

• Skeletal anatomy and key landmarks of the pelvis
• How to simplify the pelvis into a box form for construction
• Integrating the pelvis with the bean torso for fluid poses
• Applying pelvic motion to enhance gesture drawing
• Examples of different body types and how to build muscles and flesh around the pelvis

This lesson helps artists of all levels build a strong foundation for figure drawing by demystifying one of the most important anatomical structures.
