How to Connect the Legs to the Torso

It is true or most of the detailed tutorials are not free

Sycra: "stick figure person" Also Sycra: _draws the entire torso_

[@IcyFlakas]

I first came here just to procrastinate a bit on my homework and ended up learning way more than I expected. Great video, Sycra.

[@robynloveschocolate]

exactly the same here!

[@Lamsaturn]

For some reason, legs/leg connections always came naturally to me in anatomy. But if you could hook a brotha up with an Arm to Torso video, on the other hand...

[@AnnaGlin]

+Lamsaturn pretty sure he did one not that long ago. "how to draw the shoulder" and "the male torso", he goes over that a bit

[@Le_beaubrun]

+Lamsaturn Feel like the best way to connect arm is to know the torso/shoulder connection and the back muscle. Then it kinda comes naturally.

[@Lamsaturn]

fingalificated I'll check it out, thanks!

[@sketchywest1176]

10+ years of self taught free-handing all of my drawings. 10+ years of looking at people, how they move, what their proportions are, where everything begins and ends. 10+ years of sketches, sketches, and more sketches that resulted in being able to draw pretty decently. But this? Holy crap, this is mind blowing to me! Thank you for all you do!

[@Feuryy]

This is exactly what I needed today while I was working on my sketchbook. Thank you so much

[@deadnardo2289]

Don't know why but I like it when you draw on physical paper

Literally did two sketches using that tip about rhythm and my anatomy already looks marginally better. Thanks for the good advice, as always

[@EGGWISHING]

I learned literally everything I know about anatomy from you Sycra! I’ve been watching since 2017 :] You were and still are a huge inspiration for me and so many other artists. Love you man!

[@scottyblue3024]

As always very inspiring. For some unknown reason, your videos work for me. I learn far more from them, than from other artists. As for traditional vs. digital: It's nice to see how you work with a pen for a change. How you hold it and move it. While digital recordings show the outcome a little more clearly, this way you can far better indicate what you're talking about when you literally point at it with the pen.

[@eddycolon1986]

I'd long time that i don't watch your videos sycra but watching this video remind me that you're the only one artist who explain every detail of the lesson that you teaches.

[@enfixu5833]

The way you passed the line with such confidence just made me wanna subscribe, incredible

[@Bearizm]

This is one of the best tutorials for hips and legs in general due to how simplified and easy to understand they are. Massive, massive props.

[@HomeroSantosThe_Terrible_Kiten]

I love your traditional style of tutorials. I actually prefer them over the Digital just because I have really start to get into traditional. Line weight and arm movement is super important and it helps me a shit ton when I see my favorite artists actually draw with thier arm, instead of just a digital cursor.

[@Sakikara23]

I have been drawing on and off for 30 years and I just learned SO much from this video! THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

I love the scientific|analytical analysis of art you give. It makes it so anyone, regardless of style, can watch your video and have your information work for them. Great job; I'd really like to see you break a million!

[@HunnitAcreWoods]

I Found My New Favorite Drawing Tutorial Channel... Not Only Is The Method Simple To Follow, The Anatomical Descriptions Are Spot On!!

[@CatalinBoroi]

Just wanted to thank you for these videos. I have searched for ways to understand the basics - from scratch - in many places including books but none explained so clear like you. Now I can draw correctly and I can move to more complex stuff. Huge help!

[@brant-bi8563]

Sycra, your style has its own weird proportions, but it just pleases me somehow! You should totally make a super kickass action comic/manga

[@thay.s.m.3278]

I already saw a lot of drawing tutorials in differents languages and your is by far the best

[@Waroftheworldsz]

I've been banging my head against my tablet for the past month and a half trying to find a good tutorial; thank you Sycra, wish I came across this sooner.

[@justluci8578]

I LOVE the ones where you draw with a pen - it's super helpful to actually see people draw and the way their hands move, ect. Also helpful to see the paper get messy instead of how digital is where you can just wipe it and do it again.

[@olivergilmartin]

You are by far the best drawing teacher on KZbin and I have honestly been looking.

[@marygrodalewis8830]

This is excellent. Probably the best one I have heard, even better than when I was in medical school. Like this method better than the computer. Can understand this better. Thank you Mary Groda-Lewis

[@poindeckster2]

I like the traditional media tutorial a lot. don't be afraid to experiment with filming it more often 😊

[@orangeturtles246]

OH MY GOD YOU ARE A LIFE SAVERRR Literally I always raged at legs because I could draw the leg itself fine, and the torso itself fine, but when i try to connect them it ALWAYS looked SO FAKE THANK YOU SYCRA

[@postplays]

Tutorials using more traditional methods feels more natural. I love watching your hands move and seeing how you hold your instrument. Also +1 for sketching in pen. I love using pen to sketch.

[@ZakinR]

I like this version. It showed me how the pen should be like to get the stroke correctly and it feels a bit more of a lesson which is awesome!

[@SlackwareNVM]

I kind of prefer the traditional videos just because it's the way I'm doing things now. Also I'm stuck at anatomy for the moment, so this tutorial is very welcome. Thank you, Sycra!

[@therealEthanLeonard]

I actually like the traditional way of drawing than digital. I like seeing how your hands move and the curvature motions that your hands make. I learn better that way

[@franzim6668]

Great tutorial! I got a lot better at this with just studying anatomy a lot, but it still was really helpful to see your way of doing it! I also think it's nice to see you doing these tutorials traditionally, because it shows that you don't need expensive equipment to do this stuff, because from my experience beginners often will think an expensive tablet would solve all their problems.

[@Torvaxx]

When you realize you've been drawing "sausage legs" your whole life... I guess I start drawing them the right way. Thanks, sycra, even though that wasn't the main point of the video.

Well, that's one of the best and most useful (for me at least) drawing tutorial I've see. The right proportion of anatomy to simplification. I love it. I'm going to check what else you have to offer on your channel! Thank you!

[@ShuuichiNitori]

I've "watched" a few How To videos hoping to learn something useful, but this is the first one that isn't full of useless fluff information that makes my brain switch off (except for that whole being embarassed about the genitals bit) - point is, it's to the point and simple, and I really liked that.

[@roukvelki8426]

It is much much better when you draw by pen and not digitally, please try to do it more often. Thank you very much for your outstanding videos !

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Wow. I did not think I could get this level of instruction off the internet, this was fantastic, thanks for this content!

Thanks for great tutorial. Very useful. That is the place that was tough for me. The another is muscles on the scapula and how they connect to the arm.

I like that you make a tutorial on traditional media. I would like to see more of that. I myself draw mostly with pen/pensil on paper and find it sometime hard to apply your techniques.

[@emmawalsh3653]

This was one of the most helpful videos ever

[@TarandirYT]

I absolutely love when you're going traditional! It'd be great if you could make some painting too, although your pen sketches are super cool.

I don't dislike this traditional media, but I think I like old photoshop/krita/whatever better. For the videos, I mean. Is like the sound is better and there's no problems with the camera focusing or this kind of things. But if you feel more confortable with this, you are the one doing the videos, should be up to you. Is your channel xD Thanks for your efforts, keep like this!

[@zgilly2157]

You always seem to come out with the tutorial I need most right when I need it.

[@MacStatic]

Very pleasing to look at indeed, Sycra. I'd just like to say I found this video to be *extremely* helpful, because you explained how skeletal and muscle structure affect the total shape of the legs, and body. Most artist don't do that. And to that, I thank you so very much. As for the type of media you used, I prefer the traditional style over digital, but I know it can be more efficient to use digital. With all that said, this was one of the best tutorial type videos I've seen. This was very appreciated! :) (hopes Sycra releases further videos in traditional style :D)

[@wertzu59]

There's something oddly pleasing about this being traditionally drawn. I wasn't fully onboard with it at first, but by the end I really found myself enjoying it. I think I'd like more of these, even if there's less flexibility without an 'undo'. One thing that might improve future demonstrations is if you can curb the habit of going over your lines quite so much. It's fine a few times, but occasionally during a protracted explanation you will go over them many times and make the original drawing unclear. :) But that's really the only complaint I have. As always, thoroughly engrossing and really well explained. Thank you, Sycra!

[@joangibb7480]

I love watching your tutorials. Tjey are fascinating. I used to paint and draw and now that I have retired I hope to go back to that. I've noticed some really interesting photos of David Tennant, a very tall lanky UK actor. Some photographers have shot him from top down with some very interesting perspective results. A lot of forshortening of a really tall body. Mizgenomer on TUMBLER seems to have been on set in the background taking a lot of photos. They might be some of her shots. Anyhow, my point is that you produce wonderful tutorials about perspective and I've thought of trying to draw from those photos. You might find them interesting too as you see the entire person from head to feet. Very challenging perspective.

Great video as always, Sycra. It helped a lot with something I'm currently struggling with. Im personally fine with you working in traditional.
