Lesson 1: Introduction to the Concept of Invention illustration 1

Welcome to The Structure of Man training course. Drawing the human figure entirely from your mind—in any angle and any dynamic pose—has been a lifelong dream for many artists. In Lesson 1, we lay the groundwork for exactly how to achieve this.

Moving Beyond Reference

For decades, traditional art schools have relied heavily on observational drawing. While copying a live model is a critical skill, it traps the artist. When the model leaves the room, the artist is suddenly paralyzed, unable to draw complex scenes required for comic books or storyboarding. To break out of this trap, you must learn the concept of invention.

The Step-by-Step Training Process

This course relies on a deeply structured, step-by-step cognitive process. We don't just ask you to draw an ear or an eye from memory; we teach you the underlying blueprints. By slowly building up this knowledge, you prove to your own mind that inventing the figure is entirely possible. Lesson 1 introduces you to the roadmap we will conquer over the next 92 hours.
