I came to this video with a strong thirst to finally get my hands on men's anatomy. I've longed for it for quite some time but it seemed too meaty and hard to get a firm grip on it all. Thankfully yours turned out to be nice and long with lots of experience behind it. I especially like how deep you went. Almost couldn't take it all in.
"What's better than this? Guys being dudes." Thank you so much for this as usual, I feel like I come away from every video learning about something new. 👍
Genuinely appreciating the formatting and straight forward nature of all these videos. It's always good to brush up on my fundamentals and your presentation of them is top notch! Thank you for sharing such high quality content of these two exercising pals with no tension at all between them!
First class with you & despite my sketches & line art being...subpar, these guidelines were so useful! thank for all the work you've been putting in on all your content(not just on youtube). Joining the discord now, watch me blow through all the classes & homework & catch up🔥💪
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I'm really grateful to hear about it. Also don't worry about having to get through the homework, there's no time limit on any of it so you hit your own pace
yeah id been meaning to codify it for years, its always been the flaw with multiply layer shading that it doesn't adapt to the colour it's shading over
so SO, back in high school someone made a joke that "man is the most dangerous game" and my mate chimes in, completely serious, and says "oh like gay chicken? yeah for real, gay chicken is hella dangerous, you could end up like in love, married with three kids before one of you breaks" the classroom, just dissolved, it was epic, Layton if you're out there, that was a core memory for me.
I don't know why but I just imagined you holding back laughter every time you said nipples. That could definitely just be me, though. I have almost the same humor as a 12 year old 😅
The homework is a nice touch. I'll work on it as well since I have to re-teach myself some differentials in male body type. Thanks for the content dude; been helpful o7
Hi Lines! Just wanted to let you know you have definitely made me improve alot with your videos, please continue to make them! They are such a big motivation for me to keep drawing and get better😭🙏
Thank you! This was very helpful. The measurements are something I've struggled with, but it seems like it just comes down to practice and getting used to them. I also really appreciate the homework sheets! Those are also super helpful! I'm excited to see what else you share with us!
I feel like I'm slowly learning the full version of a method I would only catch snippets of, here and there. Just after last week I already felt like I had a better grasp over drawing characters, the few sketches I did looked less crappy than usual 😂. And while I'm definitely among the people who stumbled on your channel (Wishing you the best!) through last week's video, I'm really glad you're covering all the bases. I started downloading and studying the work of some of the artists I'm a fan of and saw that I can sometimes find patterns in how they align and proportion faces, limbs... I ended up kind of spoiling some works for myself when I noticed funky anatomy or positions, but at the same time it's fascinating to me how their art still often looks good. Guess that's one of the beautiful things about drawing instead of photographing or rendering. It's gotta be like how in music we can play with the balance between harmony and dissonance. But gotta master the bases first, huh... I always just took *forever* and used a ton of references whenever I did a serious drawing, but after stumbling on your videos I started feeling like I could one day get to a point where it takes me a few days instead of a few weeks to finish a drawing. It's exciting. I'm really glad you're making those videos. And I love your homework sheets!
oh wow thats a real journey there, i really appreciate the kind words and i look forward to maybe seeing some of those works in the discord if you feel like sharing them, i know i'd love to see them
@@LinesSensei glad to hear that we think similarly!! It definitely makes things easier to absorb when the one teaching is similar to your own processes even though the rest of our art differs so much besides the beginning sketches! I am very curious to how you will show the skeletal construct for figures posing in ways where not all of the body is visible like crouching or having the legs bent up in front of the figures. Very excited to see how you do it since our thought process is a bit similar, eager for the hand tutorials too!
Man your tutorial are really good, very detailed and easy to follow and your art style is awesome. I suck a little bit less at drawing men now lol. A video on female anatomy would be a banger tho.
Im noticing the biggest difference between the skeleton for men and women is in the width of the pelvis in proportion to the ribcage where for men its big ribcage, smaller pelvis and for women its smaller ribcage, bigger pelvis. Am I correct in assuming that drawing a character with relatively equal width of ribcage and pelvis would make a character seem androgynous or would it make them look flat/strange?
That's a great question, and yeah a pronounced difference in the ribcage (more the narrow upper ribcage than anything) to hips ratio is one of the ways you indicate the sex of a character. And yes the less gender and sex characteristics you demonstrate the less clearer and more androgenous the character will typically appear.
I do plan to make more body specific type videos similar to this one after I've covered a lot of the basics off with things like hair clothing perspective motion. After that I plan to get in and do more specialist items like different body types different specific situations so it is definitely on the cards it is coming down the pipeline but it may be a little while but do stay tuned!
Not presently. I do plan to start doing small group tutorials at some point in the future but that's a little bit further down the line. When I do start that up I'll announce it in a video or on the discord so feel free to follow both or either of those if you'd like to stay in the loop
now that's an excellent question. you can get good results with both, the reason i don't include the head is that it means the legs will be longer, which is visually more appealing, and also it means the proportioning works with smaller character like chibis. so as an extreme case if you had a 2 head tall chibi, the torso wouldn have no space to exist, so they'd just be legs sticking out of the head, and even just a 3 head tall baby or chibi would have this tiny torso half the size of their head, and then these enormous legs hanging off the bottom
posing is something that's 100% on my list of topics to cover, i'm really grateful for everyone letting me know where the needs are it means i know just what to target. so i really appreciate it
It can be challenging. If you'd like we have a discord where you can share some of your work with myself and other artists and get feedback and help in a more back and forth kind of way. Because the video is sadly only a one way experience
The zigzaggy muscle on the side of the ribcage are the serratus anterior muscles. You can also place them and the nipples by drawing a line at 45 degrees from the hollow of the neck (where the two bones of the collarbone meet) down to the bottom of the ribcage. That was a tip I picked up years ago when I was trying to get better at drawing in high school. Anyway, the serratus muscles occupy the space between the latissimus dorsi muscles, the oblique muscles, and the pectoral muscles. The muscles that cover the shoulders are the deltoids. There's actually three big muscle groups that make up the deltoid and they go from the collarbone (clavicle) and the shoulder blade to the humerus. Those are covered by the trapezius muscles that attaches to the spine, neck, and shoulder blades (scapula) in the back and actually go over the pectoral muscles in the front. They slot between the biceps and triceps (the front muscle and the back muscles of your upper arm.) Figured you might appreciate the information. I'm watching your videos trying to get back into drawing on the regular, and they've helped me a bit. At the very least, they've taught me again that it's okay to draw in a more cutesy, cartoony style if that's what your comfortable with.
Just another thing I realized. I think you're calling the change in color at the edge of the shadow subsurface scattering. That change is actually called chromatic aberration and caused by how light of different frequencies diffracts through the air. This diffraction is also why shadows get fuzzier the further away the casting object is to the object having the shadow cast on it. Remember, white light is made up of red, green, and blue light. Lower frequencies of light diffract more. This is also the same reason you see chromatic aberration in photographs taken with spherical lenses. Subsurface scattering is what happens when light goes through a translucent object. The red glow you see when you put your hand over a bright light source is caused by subsurface scattering. Similarly, the diffuser in a soft box takes light from what is effectively a point source or a series of point sources and makes it appear as if it was coming from the entire area the diffuser covers. Call me pedantic, but I think it helps to call things by what they actually are. It makes it a lot easier to look up more about it later. (And it might be the engineer in me, too.)
I can feel the fitness oozing out of that image and DEFINITELY nothing else.
excellent, nothing ambiguous here
Not only fitness, but friendship too
Thank you for representing this kind of really close friendship between guys
people with friendships this close should be proud, they should have like a whole month of it

yeah id been meaning to codify it for years, its always been the flaw with multiply layer shading that it doesn't adapt to the colour it's shading over
finally i will be able to draw my most dangerous creature: men itself
so SO, back in high school someone made a joke that "man is the most dangerous game" and my mate chimes in, completely serious, and says "oh like gay chicken? yeah for real, gay chicken is hella dangerous, you could end up like in love, married with three kids before one of you breaks"

Oh no I had to straight up edit a few giggles out of the audio, that absolutely did happen, on multiple occasions.
@@LinesSensei 🤣 I would've done the same, anatomy is just funny to talk about sometimes

About proportions, the body is halved at the crotch, but does that include the head? Some say that it does not, like you, but some do include it.
now that's an excellent question.
you can get good results with both, the reason i don't include the head is that it means the legs will be longer, which is visually more appealing, and also it means the proportioning works with smaller character like chibis.
