Workshop Description

In this 9-week Live Workshop with master anatomy instructor Rey Bustos, you will design imaginative creatures grounded in real anatomical structure. Originally developed as a sculptural course, Imaginatomy has been reimagined for 2D drawing and rendering, guiding you through the process of building a believable skeletal system for your own fictional species. Each week, you’ll study real-world animal anatomy and apply those principles to create creatures that move and function convincingly within their imagined environments. The workshop culminates in a final anatomical taxonomy project, showcasing your creature’s internal structure and design logic. This unique experience will expand both your creative imagination and technical understanding of form, function, and adaptation.
