HOW I PRACTICE DRAWING ANATOMY

[@CattlewagonArt]

I’m absolutely guilty of neglecting the fundamentals because they’re not as interesting… I definitely want to try out doing studies like these!

[@sael5084]

You really should I did that mistake too for 3 years. Only copied reference of real life or peoples artwork and it did 0 help to me. Only made me use the pen better on paper but that's it. I've actually started to study anatomy and figure drawing books now and it really makes you see things differently. Try Michael Hampton figure drawing book I recommend it. Not much text and very important fundamentals for drawing bodies and gesture etc. Hopefully I can apply the knowledge well ❤❤

[@worldwidefunnyguy]

honestly yeah it bores me learning anatomy cause it’s not as fun as coloring…. but i should start coloring pretty pieces

[@hellofellas9896]

I've only been drawing for the past week or so, but I'm happy that I started with the fundamentals like you know constructing the pose with a mannequin, learning anatomy, gesture drawing etc. I don't find these as boring as perspective but that's just me probably 😅

[@gooblymcfarts]

At first it's hard. But there honestly so interesting, I really like them. Give anatomy a shot. The body is fucking awesome

[@sael5084]

@@hellofellas9896 best thing is knowing the bones at every angle. Putting the muscles and skin is then easier

[@TheAngelArrow]

heard a great quote before: "if you can't draw a simple shape and make it look interesting, how are you going to draw the more complex ones?" drawing the simple stuff and getting good at it is simply necessary if you want to progress 👍

"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)." [Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]

Is it normal to only be 2 minutes in and on the brink of frustration tears

[@RealPotPot]

2 minutes? the moment i pick up the pencil i feel like im gonna burst into tears of frustration

[@SHIbITO_jEsTiEeee]

Yes.

[@rulersreach4n455]

Yes

[@wo1fythedev]

Yes it absolutely is. My recommendation (how I got over this) is to really try and stop thinking of getting some kind of result, and instead just enjoy the process itself. Go into every session with no expectations, especially when you're new. Also, try to avoid setting any kind of timeline like "I'm gonna get good at drawing in X days/months/years". If you can get yourself in the headspace where you can accept that you might not like the current result, and don't feel pressured to get good fast, then you'll surprise yourself with how much fun you can have!

when i 1st started drawing when i young i totally skipped learning the fundamentals of art & drove str8 into it. while i did improve with time, at around jr high, i felt as if my art was so stagnant. it wasn't until recently i realized how important it was 2 learn color theory, proper anatomy, etc. as well as being able to take genuine constructive criticism. its rlly helped me 2 improve! im so gr8ful 4 the people who take the time 2 record lesson videos, tutorials, & guides like this! Thank you!!❤️

[@fuzzie6299]

I've been struggling with drawing for a while now. I've only started focusing on anatomy a few days ago, so seeing you post this really motivated me. Thanks!

W pfp here to learn so i can draw Shirou

[@bored_-_-_artist]

personally I recommend getting an anatomy encyclopedia cuz you can see every single muscle where it connects to the bone landmarks and how muscles look when stretched or compressed and for every action there is a reaction and make your sketches look like the muscles but not the actual muscle just a shape that looks like it and then flesh it out later and I recommend getting books about the subjects you want to study cuz they really help and try to make gesture drawing continues and smooth you don't need any muscles just the simplest shapes you can use. (also quick note if you can get colored pencils use them for the under sketch and then draw on them after fading them a bit for me when making characters and not studying I use red and blue for clothes/armour and I fade them with a kneaded eraser then draw on them and very important thing don't be afraid of making mistakes and just have fun with it cuz you don't want to feel like you're entitled to make it look good just do your best and with time and practice you'll get better) btw I'm trad so this is for the trad artists out there and well a lot of those things work on digital too and I do both actually

i jusr drew my first full body in so long. i’m happy with the results especially since i haven’t practiced in a year. this motivates me to continue to practice :) thank you so much for the helpful video, it opened my perspective

[@rai_thedevourer]

i've really wanted to get good at anatomy since i've been drawing for about 4-5 years now. the only thing i've improved since then were faces and developing my art style, but i've never gotten really good at anatomy, i was just drawing the face, neck, and shoulders. this video and it's advice are amazing!! i've drawn more and more poses and i've gotten confident in drawing lots. i never knew i would be so happy while learning anatomy even though i thought it would be boring. seeing my art improving way much better and faster makes me so happy!!

[@K00300]

Been getting better at drawing cubes & shapes, which have been giving me a lot of motivation lately. Starting to draw actually references now. So I appreciate the uploads❤

[@sael5084]

Try drawing gesture it can be really fun and easy without stress. Also make you bigger at drawing bodies and making them show expression ❤❤

[@wetbreadm3n]

Same, I’ve been when bored in class just drawing 3d shapes in my notebook and planner not only does it help me practice but it keeps my hands busy so my adhd doesn’t interfere

[@liamsaucedo44]

Started to try out anatomy recently, and I was disappointed by my tries to draw from imagination, I need to start from the basics, thanks for this video! Your content breaks stuff down great NIRO.

[@zooropa414]

I noticed that you're style of drawing is analytical and structured, the gesture drawings are not loose which is totally OK because you simply follow your nature, but how long does a gesture drawing session lasts? I feel like you capture many elements in a fast amount of time

[@robot7338]

from my experience, dont worry about hyper fast gesture drawings or anything, but aim for 10 mins tops at the start and lower your time as you get better. learn body landmarks to capture those elements very quickly. niro has found a great way to do this with the placement of the torso and hips in ovals and rectangles, but whatever way works for you is good.

[@whyvern6817]

Dont worry about time, you become faster with experience

[@darkchild130]

If time limits are super important, limit yourself to 1 minute per gesture sketch. The amount of sketches is unimportant just building the muscle memory is. Finish your session with a 5 minute sketch and indulge yourself with extra detail.

bro i started crying when i saw those drawings theyre so amazing T-T

[@Big-Chungus21]

This is a really, really, well made video. Im a Games Designer, so i’m not just studying art, but also programming and psychology, so i’ve always feared how to fit all of this stuff in, how to break it all down and actually learn it all. I knew what I needed to learn, but didn’t know how to go about it beyond “gesture drawing and anatomy”. If you’re at university there should be free classes you can go to where you can draw from a model in person. This is very useful to get a better understanding of depth imo, I do about 2 hours of this a week. Otherwise, there may be other places you can go to, to do this. I also know some people learn from using a mirror.

[@Flintstone_o7]

Put this video on loop while I practiced simple shapes cuz I j love your voice mixed with that music

[@Sirr3t]

i normally just eyeball everything when I'm doing a sketch and try to fix it accordingly, but after understanding like basic shapes and fundamentals of it all it makes more sense and it wayyy easier

[@Wh0sSmitty]

This video really opened my eyes, I didn't think that drawing simple shapes would help but I guess it did. Thank you!

[@Darkest_cntral]

this was probably the only video I've understood when it comes to this topic. I got to take a lot of notes on this video and I'm so excited to try this out, even though I've never tried out anatomy before, I think that with the guidance of this video I should do pretty well, thank you!

[@Ro-pw6de]

I definitely have a long road ahead of me, but this video really helped break things down and make it all more digestible. I followed along with some sketches and I can see the vision. Seriously thank you

[@thisguymarlo]

I've been drawing ever since I was young, but I would on and off focus on the fundamentals of art. So trying to get serious with art again this video was helpful in showing what I'm doing right, and what I need to improve on. Thank you!

I noticed for your torso you're able to use boxes in different angles / perspectives to help pose your character. Do you have any recommended exercises for practicing boxes and posing them in different angles? Thank you for making this video!

[@sael5084]

If you want try figure or gesture drawing rather than only boxes. I tried that but didn't help me personally

[@Mmushi98]

I personally used to sketch random objects laying around my desk! All of them (just like the human body) use basic 3D shapes for their structure and will have their own degree of perspective, so if drawing a more detailed human body is too daunting you could start off with that :^)
