Ultimate Anatomy by Marc Brunet

Marc Brunet Ultimate Anatomy is a self-paced video course on human anatomy for artists, taught by Marc Brunet, a former senior artist at Blizzard Entertainment and the founder of Cubebrush. It covers the whole body from head to toe: the shape and proportions of the head, each facial feature, the skeleton, the main muscle groups of the torso, and the arms, legs, hands and feet. The course has 25 lessons and more than ten hours of video, with practical tips and a bonus layered PSD of the muscle groups. It costs $99 as an instant download.

Anatomy is the subject most figure and character artists keep returning to, and it is easy to learn it in scattered pieces. This course brings together all the anatomy classes from Marc's ART School programme, which are spread across three terms there, into one continuous pack. It is the largest of his stand-alone drawing courses and a sensible choice if anatomy is the one area you want to study in depth.

What You Will Learn

The course builds the body from the inside out, so you understand why forms look the way they do. Topics include:

• The shape and proportions of the head
• Drawing the ear, nose, mouth and eye, then finishing the head
• The skeleton as the framework for the figure
• Neck and shoulder muscles: the sternomastoids, trapezius and deltoids
• The chest and back: pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior and erector spinae
• The abdominal group, obliques and rotator cuffs
• The upper arm, forearm and hand
• The upper leg, lower leg and foot, followed by a demo

Who Is Marc Brunet Ultimate Anatomy For?

Marc Brunet Ultimate Anatomy suits artists who want a thorough grounding in human anatomy for drawing and painting. It is labelled for beginners, so students and self-taught artists can follow it, and character artists who already draw figures can use it to fill gaps. Illustrators, comic artists and concept artists will all find the material relevant to their daily work.

It is less suited to someone who has never drawn at all, since anatomy builds on basic drawing skills such as simple forms and gesture. It is also a drawing course rather than a medical one, so the focus is on what affects the surface of the body.

Course Structure

The 25 lessons are grouped into three parts:

• Part 1, the head: a preface, head shape and proportions, the ear, nose, mouth and eye, and finishing the head
• Part 2, skeleton and torso: the skeleton, sternomastoids, pectoralis major, trapezius, deltoids, rotator cuffs, abdominal group, obliques, serratus anterior, erector spinae and latissimus dorsi
• Part 3, the limbs: the upper arm, forearm, hand, upper leg, lower leg and foot, then a demo and conclusion

The bonus layered PSD shows the muscle groups on separate layers, which is useful as a reference when drawing from imagination.

Price and Access

The course costs $99, paid once, as an instant download in MP4 format from Cubebrush, which describes itself as an AI-free marketplace. If you already own the complete ART School pack, this material is already included. Marc offers to refund the pack if you later upgrade to the full 10-term ART School; the page asks you to send him a private message. The full programme also includes private weekly streams.

About the Instructor

Marc Brunet has more than 20 years in the industry and held senior roles at Blizzard Entertainment. He founded Cubebrush and has worked for Wacom, Clip Studio Paint and ImagineFX. He left his industry job to build ART School, where these anatomy classes come from.

Things to Consider

• Time: ten hours of video is a lot of material; spread it over several weeks and draw between lessons.
• Software: the bonus file is a PSD, so you need Photoshop or another program that opens layered PSD files.
• Prerequisites: basic drawing skills help; this course pairs well with figure drawing practice.
• Feedback: the pack has no personal critique, so share your studies with peers or an online art community.
• Order: follow the lessons in sequence, since each part builds on the one before.
• Upgrade path: if you might take the full ART School later, note the refund offer for this pack.

How to Get the Most From It

After each lesson, draw the part you have just studied from several angles, first from reference and then from memory. Use the layered PSD to check your work. Once you finish the course, return to figure drawing and look for the muscles you have learned in each pose.
