This is quite advanced for beginner artists or people who are new getting into art. What I learned from my professor is to start with big shapes first. Focus on the shape of the body as a whole but individually to get the idea of the entire body. Starting off with little details makes it much harder for you to actually understand what you're doing, so it's always better to start off with big shapes, specifically 3d shapes. You have to train your brain to be able to see these things and being able to picture the body in 3d form. It's much easier that way and it seriously benefits a lot when it finally comes to shading and knowing where to put the shadows, where to fold clothing, etc. Don't rush when it comes to art. Take your time to learn and UNDERSTAND what you're doing first. Remember, it's all about the process, not the reward. Learn to enjoy the process of your art and find the joy in trial and error. The final product will always build off of what you've learned, studied, made mistakes along the way, etc. Good luck :)

[@simonotori1948]

Another thing I've learned is to study about the body. I'm talking, muscles and bones. This is if and when you finally know how to draw the body using big shapes, and how to hold a pencil properly. One way to actually get the hang of where parts of the body is the way it is, is to understand where the muscles are inside the body. When you get a hang of it, you cannot unsee what you learned. Another tip is to learn to draw what you see. That's the best way to study your model. Try to draw nude model references in different poses and always keep drawing every day. It doesn't matter if you draw for an hour or 30mins. Just keep drawing. How I was taught was to try and CLOSELY follow your model('s pose). No proportion out of place, everything needs to look exactly how you see your model. With this, you train your vision and your brain with observations. Part of being an artist is to have sharp observations, especially when it comes to drawing what you see. The aim is to get your hand used to the pencil on the paper. And with your observations, your hand will be able to follow what your mind sees. In other words, your mind and your hand needs to be connected and in sync with each other to be able to portray what you're trying to draw. So try to practice it. It's all about practice. And when you become advanced enough, try to draw someone you know. Which is something I'm still trying to master. You will notice that people are very distinct and their features are unique in their own way. When drawing a certain person, people specifically non artists, must be able to tell it's them too, the person you're drawing. (PS. It's cuz of this study that I'm able to appreciate everyone's beauty in their own unique way. Nobody is ugly in my eyes because it's their unique features that makes them beautiful.)

[@starryskies1716]

That's because most of these "art tutorials" are not for beginners. As a beginner, most of the tutorials I've come across suffer from "Draw this, now draw the rest!"

[@jupit3rstar]

While this is a great tip, for some beginners, intermediate artists it can be better to do simpler shapes to make more fluid poses. I like this idea of making it more 3d though because it can definitely add more form to the character, if you are doing gesture drawings then drawing flowier shapes can help speed up your process. :D

[@Fungal_Leech]

me when i find a super cool anatomy tip thing but I literally cannot use it because the character I am drawing currently has a lot of weird anatomy so these things wouldn’t apply properly

[@superlimeapple]

I mean, unless your character is very structureless/inhuman, you could probably use the general mannequin concept and the same basic shapes (cylinders, spheres, etc)

[@sintay8002]

Try elongating and just modifying the shapes to what you need

[@MarketResearchReading114]

In highschool I drew eyes...probably for the entire last art class...well, the path was fun and exciting, and I see a simple formula now for how to achieve them now... I wonder if people see this and the life goes out of their imagination, but to me, after having gone through that with eyes, I just see a short cut, and I can now do more things with the leftover time.

"realistic character body" The author said and drew boobs sticking up (gravity works on them btw)

[@rentanakarr7537]

this depends on the size of the boobs, smaller ones tends to stay more straight. just think of the weight of them as like water baloons, while bigger one will fall, smaller one will look like oval ball shape.

[@rentanakarr7537]

this could also be affected by the fat of the person, skinny characters usually are drawn this way, but you can bend those shapes and not do strict like the tutorial said.

[@cooliobinch9408]

@@rentanakarr7537those aren’t small boobs tho, that’s at least a d-cup if not more and that would almost be a liter into the balloon in terms of weight. Also, just because skinny people are draw that way doesn’t mean it’s realistic. Certain audiences just don’t find big boobs attractive once gravity is applied to them. This is just not a character with realistic proportions.

[@michaeljordan5630]

Could you explain how each head length differ between characters

[@ColdBaltBlue]

One thing I'd like to mention, and I am an amateur artist, is that you don't need to rigourously adhere to these shapes. The body has a lot of flow to it that can be conveyed with both gesture and classical shape language, and the models shown here have elongated proportions anyway. These shapes are neatly separated approximations of the human form and are not a canon, so bend them, scale them and play with them. Use photo references to guide your eyes to proportion, weight, and flexibility.

[@liabea8506]

[@spacejunk2186]

What I do is this: 1. Draw the bones. A person without bones would look weird. 2. Add the organs. We are drawing a person who is alive and not stuffed out. 3. Draw the muscles. Without muscles, how is the person supposed to move into the pose we are drawing? Muscles are a must. 4. Draw the fat. This should go without saying, but this is subject to variation. Good to experiment around with! 5. Draw the skin. Have you seen a character without skin? Ew. Unless I want to draw Cenobites, the character needs skin. 6. Draw the hair. I just wanted to let you know that this is not required though. And done! Easy!

All I can think of is SpongeBob drawing the highly detailed head and erasing most of it to get a perfect circle. On a serious note, I just can't break down human bodies (or animals) into shapes. Like, I get it, but I can't do it. This is pretty darn cool to see, though.

[@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother]

IDK if this works for everyone. But i dont keep "7-8 heads tall" in mind. I eyeball it. After enough practice from reference i can just get the proportions correct. Your brain will subconsciously tell you if things arent right.. And with experience you will be able to fix them without thinking about "maths" Its only for oddly proportioned characters that my brain really has to do the work.

Dont say "easy" lol because everyone learns different. Studies different. Sees things differently and so on. This might not be "easy" for someone whos never studied anatomy in their life. And then go to try it and get discouraged because someone told them it was..."easy". This is a great tutorial for people who've been drawing for a long time. Idk so much about new comers. It's "easy" after you've practiced and studied it over and over. Unless you've got that amazing memory and can just whabam! Instant beauty.
