      Honestly I learned how to draw the body from watching different youtube tutorials. I would get a piece of paper and pencil and follow along. When it came to then creating my own poses or characters all the knowledge I used on drawing bodies helped me so much. Before I couldn't construct anything and when I would copy from a random picture it never really looked right, so for me personally tutorials were one of the best things I could do for myself as it was like having your own personal teacher/tutor. So don't mind Johnny Lee, just because it doesn't work for him doesn't mean it won't work for you.

    • @33korki77
      @33korki77 2 года назад +6

      @@hiimhunter7649 fair enough. Ill categorize the basics of what you should be learning for anatomy. 1. Torso front back and sides. 2. Arms. 3. Legs. Start with the torso and then do whichever you prefer first. You should get pinterest to find all kinds of reference material. Reference material is the backbone for anatomy because you cant draw something you've never tried to see and understand before. You wont be able to make a character anatomically correct without the skeleton. The skeleton is relatively easy to learn so you should get down the skeletal proportions and make the main parts basic shapes. Like the ribcage would be an egg. The hips would be a wide bucket or rectangle. And the legs and arms would be straight cylinders. You will see this when looking at the skeleton from different angles. For the torso the easiest to study is the front since it consists of only a few basic muscle groups. You should learn about the boney landmarks of the body as they give you an indication of where muscles go even in perspective. There is so much more important specifics i can get into it wouldn't fit in these comments but thats just off the top of my head.

    • @33korki77
      @33korki77 2 года назад +2

      @@hiimhunter7649 if you have the art fundamentals understood and practiced I suggest looking for an anatomy course by proko. Its a Playlist on RUclips thats gonna be your best bet for truly learning anatomy for free. Im currently about halfway through the course. Im finalizing my understanding of all the important torso muscles and bones for the male and female. This course can be tricky but if you treat it like an actual art class and have some good freeloading skills you can get alot out of these videos without premium.

    Hi David, your art is amazing. And thanks for all your tutorials. They have been a big help for myself. Even though I'm an "older artist" at 42, I'm not trying to make a career out of my drawings. I already have a stable career. I like to draw for the sake of drawing. It's a relaxing process. But it can be VERY frustrating as well. I have one big request. If you can do a tutorial on faces. Not just close up, or on big pictures. But in small areas, and already attached to a figure. Every face I draw, ends up looking the same, because There is almost no room for detail. I think a tutorial on this would really improve my work. Thanks.
