How to Study Bridgman - Student Anatomy Critique

Bridgman is a great artist to study from if you have some anatomy experience. It can be confusing if you’re not sure how to analyze his drawings. In this student critique for the triceps lesson, I talk about how to learn from Bridgman and apply the concepts to your drawings.

The most common mistake when drawing after Bridgman (I was guilty of this one), is copying his marks. Instead, look at what he’s trying to show you. His drawings are exaggerations of the form analogies he’s trying to communicate to his students. Bridgman is all about 3D form. He simplifies form better than anyone else. He shows us how the forms lock together and flow through the body. Even though he’s so heavy on structure, his drawings are super dynamic. Once you learn how to study Bridgman, his teaching becomes priceless.
