4. Front Torso – Explore the ribcage, abdominal muscles, and overall front-plane structure.
5. Back Torso and Shoulders – Understand the complex layering of muscles that define posture and back anatomy.
6. Arms – Break down upper and lower arm anatomy for more confident gesture and structure.
7. Head: Face and Neck – Focus on facial structure, features, and how the neck supports and connects the head.
8. Wrap-Up – Last Lecture – Review key takeaways, solidify your understanding, and get tips on applying your anatomy knowledge to your own art practice.

By the end of the course, you'll have a more complete understanding of anatomy and how to apply it in your figure drawings with confidence and clarity.
