Finally an anatomy tutorial that doesn’t hurt my brain

[@ddmarkk]

HAHAH i tried my best to make it easy to understand

[@stormyweather4702]

Exactly!!!!!!!

[@Death0-0]

But my brain still hurts😩

[@Dark-Ark_Angel]

Fr pheeeewwwwwwww😅😅😅😃😃

Go cry about it (Jk)​@@Death0-0

[@Hyplexial]

This changed how I viewed so many things, I was able to make my art pop out of the page, and along with the hand tutorial, it made me *want* to draw the hard parts, not turn away from them :)

[@ddmarkk]

Awesome! im so happy to hear that, i'm glad it helped!

[@milomhlongo9781]

I really liked this video, it gave me another perspective to anatomy drawing that I think I can apply. Thx dude. Keep up the good work.

[@ddmarkk]

you're welcome and im glad i could help !

[@charlesidrongarcia6914]

Wow this video actually approved my skills at anatomy now thanks mark you're one of the best drawing tutorials out there and I'm not even bluffing

[@wav4573]

revitalized my inspiration for drawing. I was starting to think it wasnt for me until i saw this video. now im already falling in love with the simple practice of the anatomy and come back here for reference every once in a while.

[@Name-ru3di]

This way, honestly is helping me so much. I appreciate this so much.

[@hellome446]

DUDE! THIS IS AWESOME STUFF! also your art style is very cool man

[@jamber671]

Sup, thanks for this video. I’ve recently got into drawing and i enjoy making characters and stuff however i’m not the best at anatomy so I gave this video a shot and it turns out it’s actually been helpful so far, i’ll be sure to check out your other videos lol so thanks!

[@BLANK-wh7kh]

I think I see why I love your videos so much!We think similar so your tips are way more helpful to me than the videos with a million views. They always make me more confused after

[@ddmarkk]

HAHAHA i know exactly how you feel, im the same way! and thank you so much :)

[@emcat4428]

Greatest anatomy tutorial I think I’ve seen thus far. Awesome video DD Markk!

[@ddmarkk]

thank you so much for watching!

[@melanieedyt]

This is an awesome tutorial! I will definitely incorporate this when drawing next time! Thank you!

[@ddmarkk]

Thank you! glad it was helpful!

[@ishiskyeu]

This is going to help me when I start drawing my own manga! Thanks for the video dude!

[@ddmarkk]

no problem! glad it can help in anyway!

[@masai9968]

finally, thanks for doing this, really helps!

[@ddmarkk]

you're welcome and im glad it does :)

[@Daily_Digital_Drawing_D.D.D]

Looks like a good video, good to see the basics.

[@PrasenjeetPal]

Hey Mark! Loved your simple anatomy breakdown. Can you make a tutorial on how to understand and apply shadow shapes over the anatomy. Basically how do you understand which are the areas you black out and the shapes of it. There are very few tutorials available for this on youtube and most of them are difficult to understand.

[@ddmarkk]

good recommendation, ill add it to my list of videos to make! thank you!

[@studiokuya]

This actually helped me a TON more than any other tutorial out there! Obviously, there are also some good tutorials on youtube about anatomy, but THIS one was the one that genuinely helped me so much. After I started using your method, I started to get better at drawing figures. I still have difficulty in poses and trying to make my drawings not look static, but I can draw anatomy with more ease now than ever before! I have never felt so happy in my life, this was the tutorial I have been finding ever since I started drawing!

[@ddmarkk]

YAYY im so glad to hear that my video was able to help you at all. :)

[@warmedpop6186]

Yesss the thing I have been waiting for also first let's goo

[@ddmarkk]

lessss goo!!!!

[@unyieldingalpha4690]

Really appreciate the videos DD Mark you’re videos have really helped me learn some of the things that I didn’t know , I was wondering g if you could do a video on line art, I struggle making the line art look as good as the sketch which seems to be something that you accel at your line art is smooth but still has the dynamic feel of your quick sketch’s if you could make a video it would be very much appricqted because there aren’t that many good videos on it on KZbin and I know a lot of people would like to know

[@ddmarkk]

I FOR SURE WILL MAKE A LINE ART VIDEO!!!! :) and thank you for the compliments !

[@ekowsart8599]

Yooo you by far one of the funniest content creator on here 😂 love the vid man, thanks for inspiring all of us!!!

[@LanLance]

Thanks man!! Great stuff ☕☕

[@901champcity4]

Hope you feeling better bro. Cause I feel you. I wanna make my own comics and music. But work and life is getting in the way. It's getting super hard to balance it all.. I refuse to let it stop me tho. For personal reasons. Sometimes we have to put things to aside to do what we really love. Cause you only get one life bro. Do whatever really makes you happy. Happiness is the most important thing in our lives we can't lose it. Cause you lose yourself.

[@Skyeleafe]

You said something I agree with. Specifically, about the "make the body this head size tall." I have always hated that.

[@kalb9289]

Thanks man this really helped

[@kofilef1797]

I like how he explains his process and the basic shapes of anatomy and how they have to be 3D rather than just a oval And went over the shapes and reason why He chooses to use those shapes.🎉

[@phinehastom230]

@Rainbow Rose Princess Mishti you should? he is very good...but I personally cant adapt to his techniques

[@ddmarkk]

haha i guess we're alike! and david finch is good but id say his videos arent very beginner friendly, its more for intermediate and up

[@phinehastom230]

@@ddmarkk stress on the beginner friendly.... He casually sketches in muscles on a 10times speed[ prolly I dunno] ... I'd play it at 1/4 that speed and still won't follow...

Can you do one of how to draw Faces of manga characters

[@michaelmcdonnell3905]

Cool how you do arms and legs.

[@user-xp2le4tt5h]

Omg finally a tutorial that doesn’t make my brain melt into too

[@JerryDechant]

Tutorial: How to get better at anything. PRACTICE ;) No matter what it is you are learning to do, when you start the process, you will definitely suck at it. It is great to have someone to guide you through the process and give you support and encouragement, but if you are determined to learn and get better, you will even without a teacher/guide. You are right, there is stuff you should fully grasp before you even pick up a pen, pencil, brush or other drawing tool. Most people see someone like you, draw stuff and it looks so easy, and that is because you have done it so many times (practiced). I want to draw masterfully from the get-go, but that is totally not possible. Plan to suck for a long time, and just keep practicing. Eventually, you will get there.

[@creaturesofchaotic]

As much as this is true, just telling people to practice is never helpful without going into more detail! it’s quite often more frustrating to hear than helpful

[@NoFurriesAllowed105]

the average ddmarkk meme intro

[@hoseinbebany]

U have my subb Sir

[@RIPIECE]

Im still struggling with how u see the lats from the front and stuff its so hard and i cant get it right idk how it connects at all

[@DeathXtremeHaseo]

I feel ya on tutorials not working. 90% of them don't or they stop working for what I envision. In my case, I can't simply throw out the shapes then sketch over them the way I want to, I have to do it my way from the get go. My favorite is when my face sucks, I don't care if I made an epic scene/body, if head/face sucks, I scrap it XD

[@ddmarkk]

haha i feel you on this! it be like that, for real!

[@koky2843]

Thank you pro 💛

[@ddmarkk]

No problem 😊

[@hollowedfate9141]

How do I learn how (when and where) to do basic manga art things like the shading/wrinkles/ toning ect I can draw basic but more realistic looking people but idk how to make it look more like manga especially with a pen and not a pencil

[@ddmarkk]

you need to look at the work (the manga) you like the most and then copy the way they do it. eventually you'll take what you copied from them and it'll become your own unique way of doing it! hope that helps!

Wonder of the D's in D.D. Mark stands for Doctor, bro, you intelligent. You have piece of paper that shows you focused on science for 4ish years and you have time to draw Chinese cartoons.

what pen is this you are using in clip art

[@ddmarkk]

this pen is called "wood pencil" and i got it from the clip studio asset store

[@Pobaika]

My problem with these yt art tuts is that they’re in Timelapse when they draw and they talk over it. honestly I don’t learn anything that way cuz everything is fast and your trying to understand how they draw it but you loose track

[@ddmarkk]

i completely agree. most tutorials move really fast, i can definitely someone getting lost
