The presentation is not a drawing demonstration per se, but an in depth explanation of the human body, its bones and muscles, and how they contribute to volume and form for drawing the human body. This is a very technical presentation as it explains the various bones and muscle groups and how they interact. The video is divided into chapters about different areas to break the information down, thus making it more accessible, and moves from head to toe including an explanation of the movement and proportions of the body. Muscle groups are noted as the power source of body movement. The human head is used as tradition to measure the various proportions of the body and this technique is carefully explained.
