A new way to build figures from your own ideas
In Art Hacking Anatomy, a pose isn't something you trace or stay stuck to. It's a building block. You learn how the body works in that pose, then use it to invent new figures of your own, with no reference.
Each week adds new building blocks, so your toolkit grows and you have more ways to turn an idea into a figure.
Javen's hand-drawn shape library.
Build the figure from a few memorized shapes.
Learn the light and shadow patterns, so the rendering is fast too.
Who it's for
Artists from about advanced middle school through high school and up. You know the basics of anatomy and proportion, even if they still feel shaky.
This isn't a muscle-by-muscle anatomy course, so there's nothing to memorize muscle by muscle. It shows you how to use what you know.
8 live classes. 3 building blocks each.
- Live every Tuesday, 5:30–7:00 PM MT (90 minutes), Nov 17 to Jan 19, no class Dec 22 or Dec 29
- 3 poses per class, 24 building blocks in Term 1, each with the anatomy that makes it work broken down
- Javen invents new figures from each block live, so you see the method in action
- Practice between classes: invent your own figures from the week's blocks (about 2 hours a week) and get feedback in the next class
- All classes are recorded for enrolled students, so you can catch up or rewatch
- Bonus torso-only homework poses · printable PDF pose cards for the Term 1 poses
- Free bonus Ananimate v2 anatomy perspective Photoshop brushes

Frequently asked questions
Who is this for?
Artists from about advanced middle school and up who know some basic anatomy and proportion but haven't mastered them. You don't need to be an expert. Students under 18 need a parent or guardian to check out.
What if I miss a class?
All classes are recorded for enrolled students. Catch up and bring your practice work to the next class.
Digital or traditional?
Either works. Use whatever you draw with now.
How much practice?
About 2 hours a week. The method is built to be efficient, so short, focused practice goes a long way.
Why only 12 seats?
So Javen can look at everyone's work every week.
What does "lifetime access" mean?
Founding students get lifetime access to the finished course at no extra cost.
Do I have to take Term 2?
No. Term 1 stands on its own. Term 2 will be announced soon, and founders get first chance at Term 2 seats.
Refunds?
Full refund until the first class on Tue Nov 17. No refunds after that.
