It would be awesome to see you make a "spot the mistake" video with a compilation of several anatomical or other mistakes that would go unnoticed to the untrained eye
He does actually have a few of those. Common anatomical mistakes, or a similar title. He shows several of his figures, one of which has an error with a muscle structure or proportion. He then fixes that drawing by altering or redrawing the area causing the problem. So it isn't, poof, here's a better one, it's 'something is off with this, here is why, and here is what to build from or refer to in order to fix it.
I am doing you 1 year art schedule to get back into drawing after I dropped it completely to study chemical engineering 8 years ago. I don't know if going pro will ever be an option for me, but I have rediscovered how much I love drawing and am motivated to continue! Thank you!!!
Just post you're drawings if you want to, if people like your art they stay for more and soon you're posting for a big audience, I think that's pro enough, just having people who want to see more of your art
I was gonna do a funny video today but the script was so cringe the channel would probably get cancelled so here’s a regular video on anatomy instead. 💰 Also, you can use the coupon in the description to get a fat discount on my art program artschool.ai this month. We just passed 17000 students - pure madness 🤯
"PROBLEM SOLVING" is the most awesome term I encountered today when learning art. This could only not apply in learning anatomy but in a lot of ways and technicalities of art. Thankyou Marc!
Super jazzed to learn that this is basically how I've been learning anatomy. Minus the in-depth study, I would go on lengthy detours while working on a larger project to study and learn how to do a single thing at a time. In my last project I've done this for hair, gold + jewellery, faces, fire, and clothing. I always thought I was losing focus and over-complicating the drawing process but I'm relieved that it has been helping me make progress and not get frustrated to the point of quitting.
Marc I also have ADD. and I like your style of line work.. I aspire to the same skill level someday. My ADD is attached to PTSD from complex trauma during my youth and adulthood. It has left me with symptoms of anxiety disorder, depression, ADD with strong fixative component, and a sleep disorder. Art is one way I escape from these troubles and can be productive. Thank you for your guides. If I can afford it, someday I may sign up for your courses. I would like to learn more.
Hey my friend don't know your age & u may be quite a bit younger than me but I suppose that matters not. Its just that your comment sounds awfully similar to how I would explain myself & some of the things I'm dealing with in my own life. I'm 49 & I've had insomnia for over 20 yrs now & found out about 10 yrs ago that I've been suffering with Bipolar Depression Disorder & Anxiety,severe at times as well as PTSD!! Hell ADHD since childhood & I am wanting desperately to get back into my art. But the Bipolar Depression ha just taken my passion & mostly my motivation away from me,I mean badly. Sorry to ramble on ya my friend & I really hope Shit gets better for ya. My name is Aaron & good to know ya, even if its only this digital Shout Out Shit!!!!!! Lol
One suggestion on how to start: Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit. Buy cheap Crayola Colored Pencils (12 or 24 pack). Just focus on the skeletal and muscle systems. You can disregard everything else. You can learn colors by blending colored pencils if you focus on a core set of 6 or so pencils (primary colors and cool and warm versions). Even if you're focusing on drawing, you should start learn colors and analog colors like colored pencils and especially cheap watercolors (Cotman set from Windsor Newton) will help you when you're ready to start painting.
what I've realized the long and difficult way is that anatomy should follow gesture. So it's always best to start from gesture to maintain fluidity of the pose and then put blocks to define perspective and proportions and finally get into the anatomy. This greatly helps avoid stiff poses. I guess seasoned artists can start directly with anatomy, but to avoid reinforcement of bad practice, beginners should focus on gestures. Just an opinion from my experience
Your drawings are so gorgeous they motivate me to study even more, plus since I started learning from you I'm also having more fun with anatomy, I have been advancing a lot thanks to you, so thank you a lot for your content
This video is exactly what I needed to hear to put me on track. Indecisiveness and fear-of-failure (FOF) prevented me from even trying. Now that this concept of problem solving through detours has be quantified and contextulised, I feel more reinvigorated and inspired than ever.
Information I wish I knew for a long time. Always studied anatomy by focusing on details with the shapes, sketching in the fibers of the muscles, not realizing the most important thing about the muscles which is remembering the bulk area of information and then, doing detail as well as simplifying the complex. Definitely needed this, getting back into art at the age of 37. Wish me luck!❤
Man that leg turn around helped me a LOT. I realized I was confusing that inner line on the front view for the kneecap line on the 3/4 view which is why my legs always looked bad
This really gave me a new insight on how to go about anatomy thank you!, and thank you again for your videos, id never thought id ever take drawing seriously back then because i thought it'd be too tedious, Tho it can be at times your videos helped me on the right track and made my drawing journey a lot more fun and rewarding.
This has been my favorite way of learning anatomy for years now. Learning specific anatomy in a vacuum is incredibly boring and half the time I don't even remember the specifics of the musculature I'm studying. I'm actually surprised at all the people in the comments who haven't been learning this way. Thanks for being a beacon of enlightenment for beginner and intermediate artists
literally just started drawing seriously, i've tried to get into drawing before since i REALLY enjoyed it as a kid, but eventually i just got annoyed with the lack of progress and moved onto other hobbies. i've discovered one simple thing i can do to improve, which is to just start drawing a person, whatever kind you want, in a very rough manner. then, decide what you like about that, then trace it on another layer with the first one on low opacity. as for the parts you don't like, keep trying to improve upon them by redrawing them for each repeat of this until you find it satisfactory. you get to practice all the things you've already done well AND try out new things for the parts you struggle with. not sure if this is a genuinely good way to improve, but it's what i've discovered in my one day back at drawing things, so i'm gonna keep it up for now.
Honestly an amazing video with some equally amazing advice. I've been drawing a lot more recently and while I love drawing, I've been feeling like my art has been improving but there are still some parts that I can just never seem to get right and end up having to trace little parts for it to work form references. It's frustrating but watching and learning from your videos have been helping me out a lot. Love how helpful your videos are.
To summarize what you were saying: Learning Anatomy effectively starts with actually applying the information in a real life problem like solving a puzzle. Approaching the domain of anatomy, it can get really tricky, so it's best to simplify it first, and add details to solve the nuanced situations. When you do well, look at pictures that challenge what you have learned and go even farther by spotting details in obscure images? hopefully I summarized it correctly, but as always, let me know if i missed something.
As an out of practice artist trying to get back into his artistic roots (and a slacking student of your course) I agree with most everything you say. But as a mechanical engineer I must state that knowing basic geometry has defiantly been used many times out of school (or at least it has been googled as a refresher) haha!
Oooo My god!! I feel this is what I need! No matter how I draw and observe muscles I don't understand then at all, but this approach sounds good, I have to try it!! 🤩 You're amazing, Marc! Thanks ✨
OMGGG 1:37 THIS IS HOW IVE ALWAYS FELT! Its been SUPER difficult for me to learn without CONTEXT. Its somethinng thats made me genuinely struggle in school and other things outside of school. You put it so well
Can you make a guide on different programs, and why you chose Photoshop on PC? Compared to maybe, Clip Studio Paint and Procreate, and why you would go desktop vs iPad? I think that that is very important for a lot of people to understand.
@@YTartschool Wow! I never expected to actually get a response from you… Are there any major advantages to using, say, your setup, as apposed to Apple Pencil and Procreate?
I’ve been going through a slump and doubting myself recently. I have bought a lot of reference packs and feel ashamed of myself for it even though they help. I also have been dealing with a chronic illness flare up and a rough school term that has kinda made me feel like I suck at art due to the classes. Maybe doing breakdowns would help more.
Yeah...I learned to draw really rapidly in about a year, specifically characters (there's still much to learn obviously, and big gaps in backgrounds and such) and people often asked me "how did you get so good at anatomy so fast?" Well, aside from having 2-3 artists who were much more advanced show me the ropes and critique my work and offering tips, I also basically approached every picture as a problem to solve. "I want this character to raise both their arms over their head...how do I draw the shoulder then." So quickly looking up and finding out that the lats actually sit inbetween the bicep and tricep helped me make that particular part look better, and made it much simpler to retain that info. Previously it was easy to file "Latissimus Dorsei" as "back muscle" so I always got confused and things looked weird. Well it is a back muscle, but were it attaches is important I still do a lot of finageling around, where I start drawing, then realize half way I messed up and make it look better, but I put that down largely to lack of experience.
It's extraordinary and a bit funny to see how differently I (as a maths and engineering person) and other artists go about everything, even the very act of learning. Like peering into the wonderland looking glass, but without worrying about having my head chopped off.
To break it down even simpler, beginners can focus on the silhouette, and all its nuances. Drawing is one thing, but when sculpting the silhouette starts to become far more important as you're seeing it in the round from practically infinite angles.
Idk what school you went to but they definitely give us context in most subjects at school. That’s literally why one of the parameters in the curriculum is “problem solving”
This video was helpful! I’m gonna put it into practice when I work on learning anatomy. Thanks, Marc! Also I would love to see the funny video. Even though the day has passed, it can be a late April fools celebration lol.
Currently stuck on the Term 2 (only watched 1 video), uni semester is quite heavy, so the spare time I have, I invest it on drawing different angles of the faces. I got the 3/4 finally right ...now the side view is the next headache...jeez how can that be so hard? Anyway, practice do help! So guys, trust the process and practice!
Yoooo anatomy learning tricks awesome!!! I'm on time too, gonna enjoy this one and learn a lot for sure!, thanks teach, hope you are doing well marc! Also looking for a motivation or how to stick to a study art schedule to follow, I really need some tips in that department and I'm sure many others are gonna agree with me (for my procrastinating artist friends lol) Have a lovely day marc and anyone who stumbles across this comment btw :)
Thanks Marc! I was really having a big impasse on how to study anatomy. It's hard to know exactly what I have to do, what i've to learn, but your video helped me a lot :D
This literally helped out every single one of my problems. My issue was that I was learning stuff that I didnt really need to learn so it sort of was stored in my short term memory, eventually forgetting about it. but the thought process of only learning when you dont know how to draw that specific part absolutely saved me. It's way more easier to draw stuff now
Thank you!!!!!! This makes soo much sense. Soo much its obvious once you explained it. I always thought there was a secret technique or something, soo thank you!! Igues from here on out its mainly expirience.
It is literally impossible to draw a body without bones and muscles. You can try to guess or copy a pose, but this approach won't let you progress. I strongly suggest picking all Andrew Lumis books and an anatomy atlas. You would be surprised how rapidly you've got improved.
Oh... I was wondering why this process seems familiar. Then I realized that this is how I go about improving my art, not just anatomy. I tried doing studies multiple times before, but every time I do, I retain nothing. So, I just draw fanart while looking up multiple references, and somehow that sticks with me. If I were to look at my art from a month ago, I won't say that the difference is staggering, but the confidence on how I was able to build a body from the ground up is more evident.
I just wanna say, you have beautiful eyes. Thanks for teaching us :)) I can totally relate, most of the time I have no patience watching a tutorial and following along with it. I learn things by just getting into it and then Googling the problems I encounter, lol. It makes me frustrated about myself but glad someone understands.
If it wasn't for videos like these I would've never found the motivation to read books and study on my own to actually figure out how to do this stuff. Thanks 👍
So I'm basically the Explorer; instead of studying specific stuff, I go for stuff that features that forces me to draw the subjects (since I've been drawing more full body art recently, I've gotten noticeably better at legs and shoes/feet).
I'm not sure to be proud but i found this channel around 2021 and around that time i was introduced to the fundamentals and realized my skills were pretty much doodoo. I was also taking my first year at college that time and i wasn't really happy with what I was doing(studying) and then decided to drop out to focus on the fundamentals. My parents obviously weren't happy about it but they slowly accepted it. Time skip 2023 i still suck but now I'm a little better compared to myself back then. Thank you marc! I'll make you proud someday
An honest opinion from one anatomy art teacher to another (I also have my online courses, have been teaching for over 20 years, and have a few available videos here on RUclips): I prefer both approaches: teaching the whole stuf AND/OR teaching the basic forms. I find it useful to teach a student how to draw all muscles as well, so they can have an easier time with creative art. Specially when drawing bulky characters, you cannot just apply general geometrical forms to sketch a body. You gotta go deep and detail them. Yes, having reference is important but they are not always available deppending on the pose you're aiming to reproduce, so, all muscle form knowledge comes in handy. It all comes down to talking to the student and finding out what they prefer from the start. I found out that I prefer to knit the list of topics I'm hoping to teach the person instead of dishing out a complete program like you did (which, in a sense, you're also contradicting yourself by doing that, when comparing our old school teaching system when it comes to learning useless stuff we don't need). Talking first, writing down what he/she needs, then organizing an individual program tailored for THAT specific case alone. The person may not want to learn perspective, so, why would I add it on the schedule program at all? Some students may want to learn anatomy down to the bones and tendons, and that's cool too. Others may want to learn the basics of form just to sketch real life scenes while drawing people out in the open. Personal video meetings will solve that issue when deciding how to approach each case. I hope my input helped. May you have the best of luck on your endeavours.
Good vídeo. I always wondered how to draw a good line in the body, in the first scenery, I thought it would be "lights and shadows", in the second I think in the simple scenery of the line. But, only in the third try, I could imagine, it was exactly (or almost) samething that you told in this video
so, to clarify: I don't have to wait until my drawing skills all get better, so I can still make the art I want to make, but I just quickly study(?) whatever anatomy part I'm struggling with and continue and repeat with new drawings?
Maybe it's just me, but as a beginner artist I love anatomy, it is easy for me to understand and I always find myself studying more anatomical drawings like action poses.
It would be awesome to see you make a "spot the mistake" video with a compilation of several anatomical or other mistakes that would go unnoticed to the untrained eye

Just post you're drawings if you want to, if people like your art they stay for more and soon you're posting for a big audience, I think that's pro enough, just having people who want to see more of your art
Желаю удачи, у вас получится
Hey! That's pretty awesome man how about we be art buddies and share our progress I am doing that 1 schedule too
How was/is chemical engineering?

dude I really wish I could get the course but I live in Iran ;-; credit cards are banned is there any other way Id do anything ;-;
"PROBLEM SOLVING" is the most awesome term I encountered today when learning art. This could only not apply in learning anatomy but in a lot of ways and technicalities of art. Thankyou Marc!
Super jazzed to learn that this is basically how I've been learning anatomy. Minus the in-depth study, I would go on lengthy detours while working on a larger project to study and learn how to do a single thing at a time. In my last project I've done this for hair, gold + jewellery, faces, fire, and clothing. I always thought I was losing focus and over-complicating the drawing process but I'm relieved that it has been helping me make progress and not get frustrated to the point of quitting.

One suggestion on how to start: Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit. Buy cheap Crayola Colored Pencils (12 or 24 pack). Just focus on the skeletal and muscle systems. You can disregard everything else. You can learn colors by blending colored pencils if you focus on a core set of 6 or so pencils (primary colors and cool and warm versions). Even if you're focusing on drawing, you should start learn colors and analog colors like colored pencils and especially cheap watercolors (Cotman set from Windsor Newton) will help you when you're ready to start painting.

Your drawing is absolutely mind blowing. There are few artists whose art gets such a reaction of awe and amazement from me.

Hi Marc, only with this video you have solved one of the major problems I had with learning anatomy for my drawings. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Marc! I just decided to start learning anatomy!
THATS AN AWSOME SKELETON, WHERE DID YOU GET IT???? 0:16
thia has been my approach recently, very reassuring to hear marc has this similiar viewpoint 🙏🏽👑
Are u reading my mind😭 this is exactly what I needed right now! Your videos always help me so thank you !!

This was a GREAT tutorial that is deep with knowledge. It will help me greatly.
Oh... I was wondering why this process seems familiar. Then I realized that this is how I go about improving my art, not just anatomy.
I tried doing studies multiple times before, but every time I do, I retain nothing. So, I just draw fanart while looking up multiple references, and somehow that sticks with me.
If I were to look at my art from a month ago, I won't say that the difference is staggering, but the confidence on how I was able to build a body from the ground up is more evident.
happy early or late or on date birthday!!
I just wanna say, you have beautiful eyes. Thanks for teaching us :))
I can totally relate, most of the time I have no patience watching a tutorial and following along with it. I learn things by just getting into it and then Googling the problems I encounter, lol. It makes me frustrated about myself but glad someone understands.
i think thats my favourite video from you this far thanks a lot
This is the best advice I've heard for learning anatomy, thank you so much marc!
7:49? That hand....? Flipped the other way in reference to the shoulder position/ composition eh? Awesome tutorials thought and thanks!
If it wasn't for videos like these I would've never found the motivation to read books and study on my own to actually figure out how to do this stuff. Thanks 👍
Started to learn anatomy this morning. I think this is a sign. LESGOOOOO
ur art is beautiful
Well anatomy is something I have been getting better at but now I need to figure out gesture and perspective.
Another upload from our wonderful art teacher Brunet!
I love your YT tutorials so much! This is GOLD. Will you consider doing a master drawing class for pen/pencil and paper at some point?
I'm so happy I found your channel, thank you Marc-sensei for all the tips
So I'm basically the Explorer; instead of studying specific stuff, I go for stuff that features that forces me to draw the subjects (since I've been drawing more full body art recently, I've gotten noticeably better at legs and shoes/feet).
I'm not sure to be proud but i found this channel around 2021 and around that time i was introduced to the fundamentals and realized my skills were pretty much doodoo. I was also taking my first year at college that time and i wasn't really happy with what I was doing(studying) and then decided to drop out to focus on the fundamentals. My parents obviously weren't happy about it but they slowly accepted it. Time skip 2023 i still suck but now I'm a little better compared to myself back then. Thank you marc! I'll make you proud someday
Finally someone challenges the notion that you’d have to learn every little sinew before starting drawing the figure.
Do videos on creatures/landscapes please thank you ✨
An honest opinion from one anatomy art teacher to another (I also have my online courses, have been teaching for over 20 years, and have a few available videos here on RUclips):
I prefer both approaches: teaching the whole stuf AND/OR teaching the basic forms. I find it useful to teach a student how to draw all muscles as well, so they can have an easier time with creative art. Specially when drawing bulky characters, you cannot just apply general geometrical forms to sketch a body. You gotta go deep and detail them. Yes, having reference is important but they are not always available deppending on the pose you're aiming to reproduce, so, all muscle form knowledge comes in handy.
It all comes down to talking to the student and finding out what they prefer from the start. I found out that I prefer to knit the list of topics I'm hoping to teach the person instead of dishing out a complete program like you did (which, in a sense, you're also contradicting yourself by doing that, when comparing our old school teaching system when it comes to learning useless stuff we don't need). Talking first, writing down what he/she needs, then organizing an individual program tailored for THAT specific case alone. The person may not want to learn perspective, so, why would I add it on the schedule program at all? Some students may want to learn anatomy down to the bones and tendons, and that's cool too. Others may want to learn the basics of form just to sketch real life scenes while drawing people out in the open.
Personal video meetings will solve that issue when deciding how to approach each case.
I hope my input helped. May you have the best of luck on your endeavours.
Good vídeo. I always wondered how to draw a good line in the body, in the first scenery, I thought it would be "lights and shadows", in the second I think in the simple scenery of the line. But, only in the third try, I could imagine, it was exactly (or almost) samething that you told in this video
so, to clarify:
I don't have to wait until my drawing skills all get better, so I can still make the art I want to make, but I just quickly study(?) whatever anatomy part I'm struggling with and continue and repeat with new drawings?
I desperately needed this. Thank you 😢
Happy birthday, Marc!
Oh wow I have never thought of doing that - this is actually such a useful way of learning!
love your brushes
oh wow, you uploaded this while i was mid anatomy study, quite useful Marc!
Maybe it's just me, but as a beginner artist I love anatomy, it is easy for me to understand and I always find myself studying more anatomical drawings like action poses.
Happy birthday Marc
I am following the 1year schedule given by you and this video is helpful. Tq marc❤️
