🙋🏼‍♀️ DRAWING THE FEMALE BODY (construction explained)

[@YTartschool]

UPDATE the male body video is out :) 🙋‍♂️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIaulWp4e52seZI - Not sure why the colors did a big heck at the beginning but whatevs, here's this week's video! It's a bit longer than usual since I didn't want to speed things up to much, hope it still gets some watch time :0 Let me know what you thought of it? ALSO, have a good weekend, I forbid you from not having a good one.

[@laudatesolem2185]

Hey! Seeing a male body construction explained would be nice! I have already more or less mastered the female anatomy, but the structure of the male body is not yet understandable. An explanation in your style would help a lot. And thanks for the video, very helpful!

[@riesmitzzu4251]

Really, of any channel, Marc is still the only one that I always look up for everytime I feel lost when drawing. He's always straight to the point, but still put some jokes to not make the video tense or too serious. Plus, as a non native english speaker and still learning, I always understand what he says 😂

[@leoff7]

Marc my man....that tip for defining the "fold" between the pelvis and the leg freaking blew my mind! That is something that's usually so hard to define beyond just practicing and building a visual library, but then you come and give us a roadmap! Thanks for the great videos and please make the male version!

[@zied9862]

@@mattdoesntknowwhattodowith5760 i have been at this point , felt like I wasn't improving at anything even with so much practice . It's more likely you're in your comfort zone and just practing drawing female anatomy . Go and try other forms of art or do other things so you can get out of this burnout . And when you get out of this phase just try techniques that work for you cause it's more likely that the techiques you use are ineffective.

I really love all the info and comedy i get from proko and marc brunet yt videos. One of the best teachers out here on youtube providing us with some free and fast information about art. Thank you marc , you're definitely one of those art teachers that im gonna brag about in the future as to where i learned some art information. It's very helpful to me since i am self taught. Thank you mark, Much love and support from me ♥️

Everytime I get distracted that started watching KZbin, I stumble across your video and it reminds me to go back to drawing

Holy shit, that first part behind the head. lol XD

[@XNineteenth]

Marc even made sure that when slowed down the video would still look good and flows properly. Madlad

[@thesunthrone]

This is the kind of simple shape breakdown I've been looking for. Definitely follow up with the male version as well!

[@nate9716]

Just finished Marc's full anatomy course on cube brush. Knowing all the major muscle groups, their proportions and functions helps immensely. Marc did an excellent job constructing his videos for that and everything seemed to click as I followed along. I would advise anyone who wants to get into character design to buy that course. Take your time and make detailed notes. Having this knowledge as a figure drawing artist is priceless. Thank you Marc!!

[@Oldladies_o7]

Constructing them this way definitely makes them seem more solid, and yet still not stiff at the same time. Ill try this out myself! And yes, one for men would be great!

[@yjoshuaart1504]

This has been really helpful for me! For a while i felt like the way i drew females and how i constructed them just felt off in some way. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@LukeYamimash]

I can't believed i already improve this quick holly maga molly, thank u so much for helping i struggle drawing anatomy for 4 year!

[@lauracaldascarvalho]

I was actually quite surprised when I realized that the way I sketch bodies is similar to yours since most of what I know about anatomy is from simply just drawing and posing in front of the mirror, this was super helpful tho, I usually use overall shapes rather than adding lines and all that stuff so it was nice to notice how helpful they can be. I still kinda struggle with more complicated poses since I draw on my phone and getting a drawing tablet isn’t a option since I can’t afford one myself and parents aren’t supportive of my art.

[@TheKevOneill]

The last time I drew was already 10 years ago. I had stopped because I had no motivation anymore, as others always said that I couldn't make money with it and I had to focus on work. I then felt more and more depressed. Now I have discovered your videos and you have inspired me to draw again. Thanks to you, I have regained motivation and am finally learning a good technique for drawing characters. Finally, I can even draw hands and feet. Although you should already have a bit of knowledge to understand the KZbin videos, but they help me a lot. Thank you very much for that.

[@YTartschool]

that's freakin' awesome to hear man, super happy it helped!

[@Ega8523]

absolutely in love with this. thank you so much man!! Was sketching something late at night yesterday and realized that despite all my years practice, I still didn't have a good grasp on anatomy and it made me feel really beaten down. This video helps a lot, simply using the term "constructing" as a descriptor of drawing anatomy has helped put into perspective what I need to focus on when drawing, and the small details I always admire in art but never know how to do myself, guess what! they're right here, explained to me in a way I can understand and build upon. I'll be sure to refer back to this video when I try revising that late-night sketch. Much love to you!!!

[@samworth9310]

i'm not an artist...i just come for the intros lol

[@black_horse_lover2655]

A valid reason.

[@emetosotia]

IT WAS WAYYY TOO HELPFUL. But really, its much better than ,,box” method that i used :) its easier and i get everything right. Boxes way pretty boring and sometimes hard to draw when it came to perspective (and i couldnt get proportions right too even when i menaged to do pose right) so I really need to thank you 🙏 I will calmly wait for male anatomy video 💖

[@ArielBenichou]

I didn't expect to pick up a new trick, but the two circle for the feet is genius!

[@joisama]

Main thing I got from this honestly :o I'm gonna have to try that.

Hey Marc! No idea if you'll see this but I've started in on ART School, and it's been a huge help for me, as a beginner artist. So thank you for giving us such a great way to learn.

[@MrBlorp-sf9ye]

I love the beetle shapes that form when Marc works on the torso, I just find it an adorable unintentional detail :'P

[@antongrigoryev6381]

I don't know why, but I can't draw proportions starting from the head. Whenever I start sketch from drawing a head, I almost every time end up screwing the proportions in relation. Everything else is (relatively) fine, but the head ends up being too big or too small, so I have to redraw it as it never was there. For me, it feels much easier to draw a body first and then add a head of whatever size fits. Is it a bad habit, and if yes, what consequences I may have and how would you recommend to fix it?

[@YTartschool]

the best is to use whatever works best for you :)

[@noodle29121991]

Maybe, just maybe your character or person will be thinking faster from the heart, making him/her more sensitive and emotional! Because of the body that is developed first :P

[@houi4900]

Maybe you can start by literally copying and pasting the head on the side 7 times or whatever proportions you wanna have on your drawing so is easier to relate the body parts, after a while the proportions get internalized and it became second nature

You can really see the anatomy in his videos, just watching one will help you refresh your anatomy knowledge since they are very pronounced.

[@crisp9774]

I have tried many courses and tutorials for drawing poses and none of them where effective. But literally just watching your video and drawing along I learned so much about anatomy and body more than any course. I almost cant believe this was the most effective way for me to draw. The art you do is perfect to copy the structure off from as its dynamic and focuses on parts I never understand how people get to.
