In learners' words
Lead instructor - Nikita Chhabra
“It improved my sketching ability plus I learned tricks on how to measure and sketch.”
“Difficult and complicated formulas were taught in a very simple and easy method.”
“Nikita's understanding of the fundamentals of sketching really helps even a beginner grasp difficult sketches with ease.”
What your figure drawings gain
Three areas where your drawing changes - from the first module onward.
Landmarks that stop the drift
Key body landmarks and proportions that anchor every figure before you add detail.

Drapery that follows form
Fabric follows the body. Once you know the form underneath, drapery makes sense.

Gesture that carries weight
How figures carry weight, shift balance, and move - so your poses stop looking stiff.

Who this is for
- Sketchers who hesitate at the body
Full figures feel daunting — proportions and poses don't quite come together yet. - Painters who want stronger figures
Figures feel flat or stiff — you want the anatomy knowledge to change that. - Returning artists
Tried anatomy before. Too medical, too theoretical, or disconnected from actual drawing. - Curious beginners
Want just enough anatomy to draw better figures - not memorise every muscle. - Anyone looking for a focused creative practice
Figure drawing is absorbing, repetitive, and meditative. A creative reset that builds a real skill.
What changes after this course
- You simplify the body before drawing it
Landmarks, masses, directional lines. What to look for before your pencil moves. - Your poses have weight and balance
Standing, turning, bending. How the body distributes weight in each position. - You use anatomy to improve drawings, not overwhelm them
Joints, volumes, form. Applied where it makes your figures hold together. - Drapery clicks into place
Fabric follows the body underneath. Once form is clear, clothing falls into place.

Questions, answered
The details most people want before they enrol.
No. This is anatomy for drawing - landmarks, proportions, gesture, and form. You won't memorise muscles. You'll learn the parts of the body that make figures hold together on the page.
Yes. Module 1 starts with shading, 3D forms, and basic proportions. Everything after that builds on those foundations. You don't need prior anatomy knowledge.
No. The course teaches the anatomy that matters for drawing - body masses, landmarks, balance, and gesture. The goal is to draw better figures, not to label every bone.
Instantly. After payment through Razorpay, all six modules appear in your Alekhyam student dashboard. Start from Module 1 and work through at your own pace.
A 48-hour refund window applies as long as less than 25% of the course has been watched. Write to [email protected] within that window.
“I teach anatomy the way I use it when drawing - landmarks first, then gesture, then structure over the full figure. That order is what makes it usable.”
