Finally done with this one, btw you can find my model here to rotate around- it’s free forums.cubebrush.co/t/male-anatomy-reference/3346 Also forgive a small mistake in the video, ABDUCTORS should've been ADDUCTORS. (abductor muscles pull the leg away from each other, adductors pulls them closer) Hope it helps! ❤
Marc thanks for the video as usual and can I ask for tips to self-study character designs in a year if you have a lot of time (I saw your 1 year art plan) ? like a lot. Thank you in advance.
To anyone who needs to hear this: Don‘t stress it. Anatomy is something that takes time. Only because you watched a 10 minute video doesn‘t mean you know everything. But watch it enough times and practice drawing that stuff from memory (!) and you will 100% get there. Even though it doesn‘t feel like it sometimes. You are awesome. Have a great day 😊

Important notes that weren't covered: 1. At the top-middle of the trapezius you can see the c7 vertebrate bulging out under the skin 2. Pecs also connect to humerus 3. Deltoids also connect to humerus, and they don't fully cover the scapula clavicle bones (these bones bulge under skin) 4. The ischium (pelvis goggles) has a deceiving shape, it starts at the front of the pelvis and curves all the way to under the femur - pelvis connective socket 5. Alot of the leg muscles aren't mandatory to learn because they dont affect the form under the skin.. as a beginner i would learn: glutes, quads, calves, hamstrings 6. The foot has 2 visible boney bumps above the heel, the inward one is taller, and its the tibia. The outward one is lower, and its the fibula. Overall great video but marc overcomplicated it abit.. a beginner doesn't need to know all of this, stuff like the individual forearm muscles and the individual leg muscles are super complicated and most aren't even a factor to the overall form. I would add that its very important to research which female bones shift in proportion due to the gender change.
.. how did he overcomplicate it? He explicitly states he has 10 hour video.. I "study" art off and on for decades, this is just a nice refresher and there's always pause
@@ComplexAce It's still interesting to learn. Sure, you don't need to include it in your drawing, however it's interesting to see how certain muscles work and how other movements came to be (such as how hands extend/flex). It's rather obvious that Marc's showcase of it indicates his understanding of body anatomy, and what makes him seem like a pro. And yes, it's complicated for beginners, but not everyone's a beginner or isn't unfamiliar with the subject. I for one felt happy that I understood which muscles he was talking about since I researched a lot to learn about body anatomy. That overcomplication Marc had for a moment isn't enough to say that he overcomplicated it entirely, it just means that beginners would have to take extra effort to do their own research before coming back to this video - As I have. Really, we can't depend all the beginner's knowledge on the teacher. The student has to make some efforts to improve their knowledge too, especially if it's one they want to start with.
Many many thanks - this is super useful, it’s basically condensed a 300 page drawing anatomy book I have into 10 minutes! Adding this to bookmarks now…
Some suggestions for what to learn next. Not a master by any stretch of the imagination, but competent Not going to lie. Anatomy is hard, but there are some ways to level up faster. If all you want to do is to create believable looking human figures, then I recommend *Morpho: Simplified Forms* When you finish this small 100 page book, you will be drawing believable figures (both male and female). You do need to practice these simplified forms. You can trace these figures initially, but you need to be able to draw them freehand. What happens next is that you will create your own shortcuts for simplified forms as you do figure drawings. I recommend using real human figures to practice as the range of human proportions is vast. If you go immediately to stylized figures of a particular artist you admire, the figures will end up looking the same. Learn the real figure and then stylize. The next stage of leveling up is to have a basic knowledge of the skeleton and surface muscles. One way is to use a coloring book. There are two great anatomy coloring books: *The Anatomy Coloring Book* by Wynn Kapit and *Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book* Both are used by medical students, nurses, and other health professionals. You can ignore everything other than the skeleton and surface muscles. Third stage is to get artistic and medical anatomy books. I think many of you can mention ones that helped you. One I want to highlight are the books by George Bridgman. They make more sense once you have fundamental knowledge of bones and muscles as some of his drawings can be confusing if you don't know this. What makes his books classic are that they are artistic drawings and one of his main teaching points is wedging and interlocking forms. Many people use these books to copy, but don't copy blindly. I've done sketches of at least 700 of his drawings and should go back and do them again. Fourth stage and final form is to draw from life, photographs, and learn to stylize forms by seeing other artists' works. Don't blindly copy, but "steal" ideas you like: like how these artists draw eyes, elongate forms like legs, shorten torsos, etc... exaggerate features like accentuate thicc legs and a curvy derriere.
If only I tried your last point sooner and didn't just.copy every reference mindlessly for 4 years. Never tried to put my.own touch on the figures I drew. I don't feel free when drawing on paper. Can't draw.a.proper.figure from imagination only despite.all the practice
@@sael5084 Then you should look into construction more. I suspect you may simply be coping what you see (which is a skill in and of itself) instead of drawing a subject and pulling but reference from a reference. The distinction might be subtle in certain instances (and I definitely fell for it too and still have a hard time with construction sometimes), but it's actually two different approaches. Marc has videos about construction (of the human body, the face, etc.). Those construction line figures somewhat remind me of crash test dummies. So my advice would be: familiarize yourself with the construction, the proportions and such. And then proceed by sticking to the crash test dummy figure for a time, seeking out (photo) reference and draw those dummies in the poses you observe from the reference. Once this has become easy, proceed with shading the crash test dummy in different lighting scenarios (which again you pull from references). You will learn to see the crash test dummy in your references, which means you start to observe aspects of the reference rather than the whole as a thing to be copied.
@lonestarr1490 I studied and drew most fundamentals taught by teachers on RUclips such as Marc and proko etc. Even read books like Michale Hampton on figure drawing. If you look at my drawings they all look bland. Expressionless and straight up bland. Can't even draw the figure from imagination. I've been drawing gesture for months everyday and I'm still not improving. All these methods I've learned don't stick in my brain and I kind of forget easily. Back to drawing a reference mindlessly . I even study other artists styles but not working. Not one day am I having fun when holding a pen. I'm in a cage I made by my own. I've lost my way
@@sael5084 Then maybe you need to break free, to "recalibrate your brain", so to say. Because I think you actually _ca_ draw from imagination, you're just inhibited by fear of screwing up. So maybe try the following: screw references entirely for a month or two and just draw what comes to mind. If you know construction, just stick to it and push it as far as you can take it. It might be hard to come up with ideas, so maybe try inventing a character or two and depict them in different situations. If you screw things up, that's not the end of the world, but take note what it is you struggle with the most. After that you can attempt a more problem solving approach. Like, you start out "freestyle" and once you reach a point where you know you have trouble with or you're not sure how to proceed, then you search for reference specifically showing that feature, area, whatever, and then you try to extract exactly the information needed for your specific issue and nothing beyond that.
@@sael5084 My suggestion would be to draw stick figures. Really. *How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way* has great examples of dynamic stick figures. Draw hundreds. Doodle them while watching videos or listening to music. Do it digitally or on paper. It doesn't take a great investment of time as they're just stick figures, but it will give you a sense of gesture and proportions. You can add simplified forms to these stick figures later. The issue is that most anatomy books and videos are about the static figure and not the dynamic figure in motion. Completely different things. Michael Mattesi who is a former animator teaches dynamic figure drawing which he calls Force and has videos on YT.
Literally _just_ what I needed, lol. Starting to really take a deep dive into anatomy and perspective, so that I can turn it into my strongest artistic strength, rather than my weakest. I want to master it. Want to be a character concept artist and freelance illustrator through and through, with my own brand consisting of my characters. This is just one step towards that goal. Thank you kindly for all these free resources. They are seriously helpful. Tempted to get the full paid course as well.
A fun game to do while watching this video: Take a pic you're working on; If the muscle he's talking about is visible on the pic, pause the video and draw it there. Keep pausing as he mentions muscles that would be visible on your pic, and drawing them in. Hope someone else finds this comment and finds it useful. : )
Being someone with a short attention span, I am VERY grateful you were able to explain all this in a ten minute video! You’re a great teacher and I appreciate that you offer all this for no cost. I draw purely for fun - I’m not interested in becoming a professional. I’m super grateful that I still have teachers to help me improve despite this, since I still want to learn so I can draw more things and have fun doing so!!! I just wanted to thank you for not only supporting aspiring professionals, but hobbyists too!! We all appreciate the free education!
I used to be super intimated by all the muscles, but this has helped a lot! (Also the fact most of the time you can just group up muscles instead of drawing every single one!)
I've been studying anatomy using your tutorials and and the book "Anatomy for Sculpturers" for the past 6 months, noticing HUGE improvements already 🙌🙌 I'd love if you can make a remastered character design video to go along with July study plan in your 2023 year plan 🙏🙏
Marc, I would have liked to see a section where you talk about fat deposits; I think they are as relevant to artists as muscles and bones when drawing characters! Forgot to add that, as always, thanks for content you put out there for artists of all levels. Your presentation style is golden.
I LOVE YOU BRO, like u are one of the few youtuber teachers that have actually helped me with anything. Your videos are always easy to understand, effective and it shows that you really care about your viewers with every video you upload i've actually tried to learn anatomy with proto but it was really long(i watched it all anyways) but it was really focused for a more realistic art. But i wanted to draw a more stylized art with good proportions and great anatomy(not realistic but to show it's a human xD and not hide it with clothes or cutting the image lol)
its been awhile since I've watched Marc ( sorry😢 ) being in art block succs... but back again and now ready to learn more from the Legend Marc Sensei! ❤❤❤ so thank you 🙏🏻❤
I was approachin learning anatomy by planning to watch a playlist with a 100 vids in it. I was kinnd of scared a bit about it. I just don't have any words for how helpful this was.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have used this video as my first entry into the detailed world of human anatomy. I paused and rewind this video more than a hundred times to make detailed notes and now I am doing my own research about each part in detail.
your anatomy classes have been teaching me how to create fantastic skeletal structures for fictional races. you see stuff in world of Warcraft where they have these really weird leg designs because they are animals, but legs are designed to be stood on. it can be different and still work. nature is full of examples. the anatomy courses have taught me how to integrate those examples.
Thanks for this. I want to get better at designing characters and I've been studying realistic anatomy for a few years now. When I've shown my anatomy study drawings of bones and muscles to people, most of them say that learning anatomy from the inside out is unnecessary and it's only beneficial to draw figures on the surface. I say that's bullshit because no matter what style you want to draw in, having an understanding of the underlying forms can help you with things like drawing believable joints and proportions, as well as how the body squashes and stretches since you need to know where the muscles attach and insert. Even learning the ligaments, the deep muscles and the superficial muscles can help. This goes for if you want to draw in simplistic styles too. One moderator I've encountered on a reddit art server said that learning anatomy from medical anatomy books are a "waste of time", whereas I found that I've actually learned a lot from those kinds of sources and people do not realize that learning anatomy takes time.
you're right about a lot of professional artists not knowing this. we had to find pictures of bodyparts for artclass and i had one that clearly showed those zigzag musscles (already forgot the name) and my art teacher tought they where the ribs. that's why i practise anatomy myself. school only learns to draw what you see ( wich is also a good thing i think) but they don't teach you how the anatomy actually works.
Serratus anterior, most names just describe what the muscle looks like or what it’s attached to :) (serrated means jagged edge, like a saw, anterior is just a general term to mean it’s nearer the front of the body, or visible from the front)
A very good video i am glad you named all the important muscles. I am really surprised of how much i learned during this year at university about anatomy, beacouse a year ago i was almost for sure not being able to keep the pace with this vid (there are still some muscles i don't fully understand but i intend to hone in on the anatomy knowledge)
I remember taking an anatomy class in high school senior year. I aced my test with memorizing all of the muscle parts on the body. Now I totally forgot about what they’re called since it’s been years. Seeing this is a nice refresher.
I am starting to think that Marc lives in my laptop... I was literally searching some anatomy videos tutorials. You helped me improve so much in my art, thanks a lot! 💜
I'm at the stage where I can draw the general forms of the entire body but don't know how to put in the details I'm following Proko's lessons on anatomy and its pretty amazing how much I didn't know about the human body, its weird i'm like feeling my neck muscles I didn't know existed
its been painful going through the art school classes on anatomy on the program, its great to have a basic crash course to reference all the detailed information, I managed to make it to anatomy 3 before head no like.
I now know what it feels like for those people who say they just needed something on the topic and suddenly you upload it. It feels freaky. Keep it up!
Marc, Please make a "day in the life of..." vid. I'd like to know how you structure your days. You're always churning out content, so I want to know how you fit it all into your schedule.
I am doing your 1 year plan (how to learn drawing). I am in month 2, so I need the head. 😅 But this will be helpful another time. I am coming back to this channel every day anyways.😊
Why the heck did I not get notified for this awesome class, wth youtube, sorry teach I'm a few hours late but I'm adding this to my art learning playlist and definitely rewatching many times :)
Do you think ill draw better if i go bold🤔thank you so much for your effort that you put in for us just to help us ...for free!? I cant explain how grateful I am for your videos and empathy . I cant wait to ge your art program I'm saving up for it and will be a member soon😁
Thank you for this! Although It might take me a few replays and a lot of drawing, I feel that this will get me just one step closer to being a better artist!
Marc thanks for the video as usual and can I ask for tips to self-study character designs in a year if you have a lot of time (I saw your 1 year art plan) ? like a lot. Thank you in advance.
Just an important reminder. Watching this video won't instantly make you master anatomy. Take and review notes. Watch it multiple times. Compare it with scientific charts. Art is work and not magic. This will help but it's a starting place.
Finally done with this one, btw you can find my model here to rotate around- it’s free forums.cubebrush.co/t/male-anatomy-reference/3346 Also forgive a small mistake in the video, ABDUCTORS should've been ADDUCTORS. (abductor muscles pull the leg away from each other, adductors pulls them closer)
Hope it helps! ❤
A big help as always
Can you let me know the name of the human model you had in the beginning? I'm trying to find it and no dice.

Oh, Marc Brunet, the bald and brilliant wiz,
Whose artistry shines like a radiant sun,
A master of digital realms, it is,
With hairless head, the canvas he has won.
No flowing locks to sway with gentle breeze,
No golden strands to frame his noble face,
But fear not, for his talent truly frees,
For art transcends the limits hair may chase.
A palette bold, a brush with steady hand,
He paints a world of wonders and delight,
With every stroke, his creations expand,
Illuminating visions in plain sight.
So let us remark,
That Marc Brunet, the bald, leaves quite the mark!

A bald statement I daresay,
Yet thy daren't bare my remarks any way
Into thy spotlight upon which shines on this here ode.
To twist my words upsidedown I pray be forebode.
For your words are charming, polite yet slick
As the hair that layeth upon his head unthick.
As shakespear once did my words are fabricated
From thy thin air yet leave thee fascinated.
Though I ought to understand the words that I chose
For a brain large as mine, I barely know
Something else that rhymes,

Bro wtf why are these actually good LMFAO
Important notes that weren't covered:
1. At the top-middle of the trapezius you can see the c7 vertebrate bulging out under the skin
2. Pecs also connect to humerus
3. Deltoids also connect to humerus, and they don't fully cover the scapula clavicle bones (these bones bulge under skin)
4. The ischium (pelvis goggles) has a deceiving shape, it starts at the front of the pelvis and curves all the way to under the femur - pelvis connective socket
5. Alot of the leg muscles aren't mandatory to learn because they dont affect the form under the skin.. as a beginner i would learn: glutes, quads, calves, hamstrings
6. The foot has 2 visible boney bumps above the heel, the inward one is taller, and its the tibia.
The outward one is lower, and its the fibula.
Overall great video but marc overcomplicated it abit.. a beginner doesn't need to know all of this, stuff like the individual forearm muscles and the individual leg muscles are super complicated and most aren't even a factor to the overall form.
I would add that its very important to research which female bones shift in proportion due to the gender change.
you just gave me hope

you're right about a lot of professional artists not knowing this. we had to find pictures of bodyparts for artclass and i had one that clearly showed those zigzag musscles (already forgot the name) and my art teacher tought they where the ribs. that's why i practise anatomy myself. school only learns to draw what you see ( wich is also a good thing i think) but they don't teach you how the anatomy actually works.
Serratus anterior, most names just describe what the muscle looks like or what it’s attached to :) (serrated means jagged edge, like a saw, anterior is just a general term to mean it’s nearer the front of the body, or visible from the front)
You sir are the gift that keeps on giving
A very good video i am glad you named all the important muscles. I am really surprised of how much i learned during this year at university about anatomy, beacouse a year ago i was almost for sure not being able to keep the pace with this vid (there are still some muscles i don't fully understand but i intend to hone in on the anatomy knowledge)
I remember taking an anatomy class in high school senior year. I aced my test with memorizing all of the muscle parts on the body. Now I totally forgot about what they’re called since it’s been years. Seeing this is a nice refresher.
i like how this was very straightforward, usually i lose interest in anatomy videos because of how difficult it is to stay engaged.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Very useful, thank you 😊
I am starting to think that Marc lives in my laptop... I was literally searching some anatomy videos tutorials. You helped me improve so much in my art, thanks a lot! 💜
How do you always make art learning so easy I can’t wait to have enough money to have your full course
I'm at the stage where I can draw the general forms of the entire body but don't know how to put in the details
I'm following Proko's lessons on anatomy and its pretty amazing how much I didn't know about the human body, its weird i'm like feeling my neck muscles I didn't know existed
now think about the bones that *rotate* when you twist your arm
Omg everytime i watch a short video on a subject like this i want a long version :p
Guess i'll have to rewatch this a lot
marc can really make great videos. not only the content, but also the delivery. gj marc
Whenever I study anatomy, you post an anatomy video ❤❤❤❤
i needed a turn around of an arm that was a drawing. thank you
Bro I just was thinking about learning and remembering anatomy tomorrow, thanks for the video!
Man, I just clicked your video and your „…Nice” destroyed me. I love your content so much ❤
thank you man, this is so helpful when trying to identify muscles and bones on a reference
This is the goat of Marc tutorials
this is my number one favorite art video because about anatomy and he go in to so much detail.
this paired with the 7 day anatomy video is going to be awesome. Thank you Marc!!! You help me improve so much
(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
That's cool new video!!!
You help us so much sir.
its been painful going through the art school classes on anatomy on the program, its great to have a basic crash course to reference all the detailed information, I managed to make it to anatomy 3 before head no like.
Your anatomy videos give me life! Thank you
I’m going to watch this video for years
Can you please make a video about how to move our waist , elbow or shoulder while drawing please
I now know what it feels like for those people who say they just needed something on the topic and suddenly you upload it. It feels freaky. Keep it up!
THANK YOU. MY ART WAS SO BAD BEFORE WATCHING EASY TO LEARN CONTENT RUclipsRS LIKE YOU
Marc, Please make a "day in the life of..." vid.
I'd like to know how you structure your days. You're always churning out content, so I want to know how you fit it all into your schedule.
Thanks. This video will help me stop making up fake muscles
I'm very grateful that you made this video, it's sooo very helpful!
Excellent illustrations. Lots of information
As a med student who loves art, I feel like I’m hitting two birds with one stone 😂
I am gonna watch this video everyday until i remember everything
I am not ready for this😭 but if it's time then it's time...
Thanks :) That's exactly what I needed :)
THANK YOU for all the work for this video. SO helpful!!!
I am doing your 1 year plan (how to learn drawing). I am in month 2, so I need the head. 😅 But this will be helpful another time. I am coming back to this channel every day anyways.😊
Just wanted to point out that the thigh muscles at ~8:58 are actually the adductor muscles rather than the abductor muscles
Thank you sensei. I absolutely love anatomy as a fundamental and this video is kinda like a neat birthday gift for me today🤣
I had hoped the video would be a touch longer with some drawing examples. But this is still very useful. Thanks Marc :)
😊😊 Thank you, Marc.
Great video! Have you considered making a video on exercises to improve at construction?
Awesome video! one clarification tough, the "Abductor" muscles pointed out int the video are actually the "Adductor" muscles =)
Why the heck did I not get notified for this awesome class, wth youtube, sorry teach I'm a few hours late but I'm adding this to my art learning playlist and definitely rewatching many times :)
I think if u asked me one thing I know I have done right, I would say subbing too this man
Thumbnail shows a straight up story bro.
Duuude! Thats exactly the video i needed! Thanks! You are amazing!
Do you think ill draw better if i go bold🤔thank you so much for your effort that you put in for us just to help us ...for free!? I cant explain how grateful I am for your videos and empathy . I cant wait to ge your art program I'm saving up for it and will be a member soon😁
Perfect I need a refresher on this!
Been waiting for this 🔥
Thank you for this! Although It might take me a few replays and a lot of drawing, I feel that this will get me just one step closer to being a better artist!
This was SUPER helpful thank you!
This is an amazing video, i knew we had many muscles and bones, but i had no idea it was that many.
YOU dont even know how you save me right now Mr. Marc
Im super overwhelmed rn😅
Thank you so much for this!
So much USEFUL❤Thank you!
Anatomy is so hard!
month 7 day 4, still hoping that marc puts subtitles in spanish in his course 😢
Marc thanks for the video as usual and can I ask for tips to self-study character designs in a year if you have a lot of time (I saw your 1 year art plan) ? like a lot. Thank you in advance.
Cant believe i miss this so sorry sensei 💔
Nice vid 👍
Incredible work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Taking notes as an artist but also as a gym bro. I didn't know what the name of the serratus anterior was, and never seen a targeted workout for it.
I needed this video very much
Thx :)
This graphic would have help far more than flat book illustrations.
Thank you Marc!!!!!
Now shall we speed run naming all anatomy names even the funky Latin names. 🤣
I bet there's a song which does just that, isn't there?
@@lonestarr1490 Head. SHOULDERS. heh
Please do videos on monsters/creatures.
Add human(life) variations then fantasy(comic book : hulk....etc)
Thank you 😊
Awesome! 💥💥💥
would be cool to have a tutorial on knees
I can confirm that liking the video made me smarter.
Yes
🏆
Sir Marc, I think it should be adductor groups, correct me if im wrong, but the the details or greatly summarized togethers, thanks for that
Just an important reminder. Watching this video won't instantly make you master anatomy. Take and review notes. Watch it multiple times. Compare it with scientific charts. Art is work and not magic. This will help but it's a starting place.
