He also drew human beings perfectly,

He also drew human beings perfectly, and studied the science of animals and plants.

I presume the part in bold mean "He also drew people perfectly with pencils," but I wonder if there are subtle nuances between "human beings" and "people." Your comments? Thanks.

Human beings are people, but when we draw human beings, we concentrate on the physical form, while when we draw people we focus more on characterizations.
