I remember the time when I had first delved into learning about the Human Anatomy. It such a complex monstrosity, staring at countless groups of muscles and tendons. The human skin was just like the bed cloth covering the bulging pillows from beneath. Slopes and curves, angles and protrusions, proportions and symmetry all would have me tangled in a mess of excitement and frustration. For countless years I have spent studying examples from my friends, who had a stronger knowledge of the human figure, to the Great Masters. I have tried many methods in order to supplement my learning of figurative anatomy. Of the many goals I had on My Life's checklist, one of them was to become as knowledgeable as the Great Masters. What drew me to this goal was looking at the works of Frank Frazetta and Caravaggio. I thought that never could the human body could be replicated in a way with such power and drama, yet here they were conceiving such powerful imagery through the tops of their imagination. I have yet one person to greatly credit, and that is Rey Bustos. His superb knowledge had set my standards in learning the about anatomy through a structural and loose method. Finding connections, origins and insertions that I found was the definition of human anatomy.
