figure drawings
Anatomical pencil sketches
Figure drawings are artistic renderings of the human body, typically created from observation of live models.
The practice emphasizes anatomy, proportion, and gesture rather than finished detail: The studio walls were covered with figure drawings from her art school years.
Figure drawing as a discipline is foundational training for painters, sculptors, and illustrators.
