Why did Leonardo dissect corpses?
Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a cosmografia del minor mondo (“cosmography of the microcosm”). He believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy, in microcosm, for the workings of the universe.
Why is drawing anatomy so hard?
Whether it’s human or animals that you draw, anatomy gives us all a pretty hard time.

Where do I start drawing?
What Is It?
- Get a set of references of a single subject.
- Analyze them to see common lines.
- Use these lines to sketch a simple representation of the body (imaginative tracing).
- Use the gesture sketch as a suggestion to draw the structure over it.
- Use the previous sketches as guidelines for the final lines.
