“You’re solving 3D puzzles, not playing with stickers.” This is such an easy didactic way to explain what artists most struggle with. I highkey want to get it tattooed.

Forearms, please! The deltoid, bicep and tricep, etc. are straightforward enough, but the forearm's muscles and how they all connect has to be the most confusing part of the body anatomically! Also, seeing a new video legit made my day ahah. Please keep it up

love that you address the fact that knowing how to paint a back from memory have no real productive use in a commercial environment, but the process is so rewarding that you do it anyway. #relatable

[@salty_3k506]

But why not? There are some characters that don't wear shirts in anime for example so knowing how to draw or paint backs can be used

[@keif9447]

@@salty_3k506 Because drawing from imagination takes longer, so mangakas will usually use some references rather than relying purely on their memories. Even Disney does this.

[@salty_3k506]

@@keif9447 Oh true, I didn't think of that. But if you have a character that you want to draw from any angle, knowing how to draw a back from memory is good. Like you likely won't just have a single shot of a back straight on. That would just be limiting your creativity

[@lordofthepage845]

I saw a very ecchii anime with the girl often being called kaichu Wich means president I think the anime is called my wife is a student council president it's 18+ but that's what you're name reminds me of not a bad thing tbh ✌

@@lordofthepage845 i think thats kaichou? Not kaichu lol

[@kira_15_R3D]

me too man, me too

[@melodyborg6164]

I think the process vs product point is interesting. For me, I learned art to get into storytelling mediums like comics and animation, so learning how to draw things from all angles without references isn't just for the sake of it, it's a necessary skill. I still use a ton of reference because there's a lot of things I haven't learned enough yet to be intuitive, especially with action poses, but I also think a trained eye can really tell the difference between someone who's built a painting from the ground up and someone who's photobashed it together. I think that might be part of why I also enjoy seeing sketch lines etc in finished work sometimes. At any rate I much prefer it to overly rendered, smooth, shiny skin, anyway.

[@microwavedmetal]

It amazes me how much my drawings just improved but watching half of your video. Like, bam all of a sudden my disability’s become abilities. The pencil on the paper seems natural and I can look at my art and see a BIG difference.

[@NaughtMax]

I’ve been sculpting for years but I’ll still watch these whenever they come up on my recommended, they’re such good breakdowns and simplifications when you’re lost in the anatomy sauce

Everything I don’t know about anatomy is just the stuff sinix still has to cover. Thanks so much for these videos and inspiring so many people

[@elysianvoltaire]

I swear my entire brain chemistry just changed hearing what was said at 11:33 I've always been so obsessed with the end result of a piece without even starting to draw it out, and ultimately I'd get upset with myself when I wasn't able to immediately reach the destination I was searching for and it'd destroy my mental health and overall outlook on myself as an artist. But I think now I'll try to think more on the journey and adventure of art, not where I'll end up with it

[@anzolomyer4584]

I just came back from a long walk, and my head was full of psychedelic ideas. I kept noticing how everything influences everything, and that a color here affects a color there, and how in a painting, that cliche idea that "we are all one" is really true. And I got excited to paint from imagination because it felt like I was actually understanding the world around me, and not blindly copying a photograph. This was the first video I clicked on when I came back from that walk and I'm so glad--I really enjoyed the art talk around 3/4th's of the way in (around 11:00). Thank you for all of the fantastic content and humor and everything.

[@korkad_]

i think i gotta binge this whole series properly. I feel like i forget the tips too easily

[@animutung]

That little speech in the end is really nice. Everybody wanted to be a professional artist and forgotten how nice it feels to be just an artist

[@mobiusloop339]

I heard of this guy from Sycra complimenting his work. So glad I did. I am learning infinitely much from him.

[@DarioMecozzi]

I’ve watched and drawn all your anatomy course, and I have finally improved my anatomy knowledge. You probably won’t read this, but thanks man, you’re amazing!

[@TheKsenpai]

ok i have to straight away say that you sir make the most comprehensive anatomy tips. I just watched 2 of your videos and make a quick sketch using the techniques you just showed, and i'm impressed. 👏well made guides/tutorials.

[@angeniti7586]

THESE TURORIAL have made it so much easier to understand anatomy! can you do one on faces/heads overall? looking forward to future vids

[@wheatart4274]

I think it's important to draw from reference AND imagination. Reference helps you get the forms accurate, but imagination helps you learn how to combine it in a creative way.

[@Son.of.4rt]

[@Minecraftlikeablawk]

i would love a lesson on how to connect all of the concepts you've covered together, for example, pelvis and the ribcage. but i guess that would be at the end most likely. but line confidence and design of appealing shapes would make a great lesson.

[@wandrinsheep]

Your ramblings are beautiful worded and enlightening, I never gave too much thought about product based art and technological influence in why people criticize legitimacy. Your views on it were really eye opening. I have a very romanticized outlook to the point it has hampered my work and with this new view I may try to relax a bit more and focus on the final image and Not the process

[@benjaminwalter1575]

I liked your mini rant. Most people are concerned with results but often doing art for art's sake has nothing to do with the result. My dad is an art professor so growing up, we were never allowed to trace. it was like the unbreakable law of our household. when people ask how i got to be good at art and why i like drawing, i usually think of that first. i was trained to love making art for the process, not the result.

[@the.martianrei3323]

Sinix has always been dependable with his lessons. So much so I automatically share them with my best friend before the vid even starts

[@theenthusiast9708]

Yay seeing this return makes me so happy! After I went through your old quick tips I had the most fun ever painting skintone and breaking my selfdoubt on human anatomy. Every foot I draw now look great and I get happy every time, thx to you! I still have problems with the neck and generally when twisting and turning parts

[@BharmaArc]

Probably my favorite video of yours Sinix, both for the content (I love drawing backs) as well as the art talk about the industry and yourself. Thanks for the video :)

[@hornbeakdarien]

To create a beautiful work is a value in itself, but for me the value of learning a skill is in the self that you become when you acquire that skill. When you first start construction it is very hard to imagine actual images and even harder to imagine images that accurately describe form. I believe constructing believable anatomy form imagination has value because you acquire a brain that is able to produce these images and hands which are able to reproduce the images you've imagined. I also think the understanding of form you gain from practicing construction can lead to creative uses of technology. Thanks for sharing your visual information on backs. :)

I really like this series, my favorite part was the talk about romanticizing the process because I feel like that's been something I've been struggling with for quite a while now.

Yaayyy awesome video Sinix! I dont think I've ever strictly drawn the back of a person in the last 2 years of drawing lmao. I really need to start doing that. I just find drawing the back a boring process compared to the front part of the torso so yea, this video was quite motivating. I also need to start learning to colour. I really love your blocky method of putting down a bunch of colours and slowly and meticulously blending them till they look coherent and weave very well with each other.
