The First, EASY Step To Draw Bodies (For Beginners)

[@sweetykp5905]

I ALMOST CRIED, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🩷🩷🩷

[@chrisjones3040]

❤😂

[@turboflare2137]

Thanks for explaining without sounding like you hate your audience 👍

[@Flowsomemore]

I hate that I understand what you mean by this. Tone is huge 😅

[@emmanueltoye7609]

Lol

[@FlorenceOladimeji-g9y]

Why does what you said sound to me like you watched a kooleen tutorial before this video?😂

[@BarakaIII]

this is the first ever tutorial i saw that actually explains everything in such a small amount of time, when i watch any anatomy video they just say "simplify" without ever giving context or explaining anything so THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@theartofnemo]

Hey. glad you found it useful! More to come :D

[@sebinoumoreau3720]

i am a noob, like noob noob regarding drawing. i've been watching videos to kinda grasp concepts and have a clear starting point. You, Sir, are, to this date, still the best video I've ever came accross. This video was a missing part of my own drawing journey puzzle, and I hope more people will come across your content because you deserve it.

[@theartofnemo]

Glad I could help! And thank you for your kind words!

[@InAHollowTree]

Using “long boxes” instead of cylinders for the limbs finally unlocked this figure modeling method for me. Thanks!

[@roachewy]

2:39 thanks for pointing my biggest flaw when it comes to figure drawing, i never think about the perspective. this advice helps me so much

[@aritradattagupta9181]

You sir are a genius. I have watched a lot of videos on anatomy but none of them clicked and few were just straight up condescending and tried to fit in too many things for a beginner. But your video oh my god. This is just perfect. It clicked & made sense and just filled up the gaps in my mental model. Thank you for making this video. This needs more than a million views.

[@theartofnemo]

Wow thank you for your kind words!

[@Neutral_1zed]

2:30 The right side is what I’ve been stuck on. Finally someone who doesn’t just tell me to “just draw basic shapes here and there”. and provides a 10 second timelapse of them drawing the left side without any good explaination on what they’re doing.

[@theartofnemo]

Glad I could help! :D More to come, you can actually make it easier to transition from box mannequin to figure once you get used to it, by wrapping it all in one boxy pillow shape

[@ThatsValForYa]

the swapping out cylinders for the limbs to boxes has helped me so much. at first i couldnt understand where the top and sides and stuff of the limbs were because it can be hard to tell on images with little contrast between lighting and shading but with practice, using boxes for the limbs, getting the right orientation has become a million times easier. this is one of the best art tutorials i have ever come across, thank you so much!!!

[@theartofnemo]

Yeah that makes a huge difference! Though notice it's still okay to draw the cylinder first, and the box on top of it, if it's hard to figure out the box on its own

[@ThatsValForYa]

@@theartofnemo thank you for the tip!!

[@ConCon-hp9pd]

this actually helped me a lot more than the TikTok tutorials, I know how to draw a body but i usually don't start off with a shape that makes it way more confusing and harder to draw. But I am glad to see that there are actually some helpful pieces of media that can help me get better at my art, instead of learning it the hard way

[@sara_志]

I usually don't comment under videos, but I've watched tons of them on how effectively learning anatomy and this one is probably the first that helped me know where to start. thank you so much!

[@theartofnemo]

Hey, Glad it was helpful!

[@The-trophy-room]

i dont know why but i haven't been able to fallow any other how to draw a body but this one THANK YOU MAN

[@itshel2677]

Why has no one explained it that way before? It was always just "Draw a box and then throw some forms on there". This for some reason clicked holy shit thanks so much.

[@theartofnemo]

Hey glad it resonated with you!

[@Manu-c5q]

you are the most pure art youtuber ever!, now i can draw the anatomy like Thanos!

[@theartofnemo]

Please don't snap me out of existence! lol

[@Johnnys_Manager]

tysm other anatomy tutorials are so shit and overwhelming in detail, only catering to one portion of learners and not people who need things to be broken down. it was so hard finding a good video like this they always draw right off the bat and it doesn’t help that they’re already so good. but with the way you break it into shapes and then tell us about measurements help a lot

[@Gamshumu]

Zendaya was catching horrible strays, tysm for the video, we appreciate you!

[@theartofnemo]

Thanks to you for watching! :D

[@Guitarantagonist]

Probably the first lesson I've seen that wasn't the most Vague advice, or the most articulate tutorial at 2x speed

[@Jerry_quesoso]

0:46 This man knows the stuff, I'll share it with the homies because I never got used to the whole "Body is 7 heads" kind of deal. In fact, back when I was a total beginner this just caused a lot of hassle whenever I tried to draw different poses on different angles. Also, highly recommend everyone to make a version of your 3D mannequin and rig it. I know it's daunting, but just the head and torso would do it (forget about the neck too if you wish) I did this on Blender and thankfully I was able to drop the FBX export onto CSP and from there I familiarized myself with the 3D shapes of the body. I wish I did this WAY earlier, but better late than never I guess.

[@theartofnemo]

Great advice!

[@laughingisgoodforyou3969]

OMG!!!!! This is PERFECT! Thank you so much! I've been trying to reach that "oh this makes sense now" moment with anatomy for ages and this finally did it for me! So seriously thank you! I now have something I can actually practice and build on!

[@theartofnemo]

Glad it helped!

[@eugene_pikalov]

After watching this video, my drawing skills improved by 200%

[@hye2354]

I was having trouble drawing legs last night, and after doing some more inspecting into my drawing, I noticed that the proportions are a little off. Glad I found this video this morning. I'm going to start practicing more of the proportions. Thank you so much!❤

[@theartofnemo]

That's great!

[@luciotan3850]

Did bro reply to every comment🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[@gabrielhawk]

Thanks Nemo, you're amazing. I fin that this rule applies to all areas of art the more I delve into it: going from macro to micro is the key. When composing scenarios and paintings, for example, just blocking out the big shapes to get everything correct such as perspective, volumes, and colors, and then slowly rendering and adding more details little by litte is the way to go. The same goes for anatomy. We should focus on getting a very simple mannequin in the correct proportions and perspective, instead of trying to render a fully-fleshed out body.

[@theartofnemo]

Thank you! Glad it helped!

[@Kennyzart]

bro ive been through soo many videos and yours is easily the best one by far! your showing EVERYTHING i was looking for in a video as a beginner, thank youuuuu

Glad it helped!

[@Pumkim-stew]

Love how simple your videos are. Vs the ofther videos that give me a panic attack

[@charlotteb.792]

I've watched so many anatomy videos and was always confused because they always explained it so quickly that I couldn't even tell what they were doing. But your video helped me a lot. I was like "ah yeah, that makes sense" the whole time. Not like all the other videos so THANK YOU🙏 ❤

[@theartofnemo]

You're welcome! :D

[@loganlaw4833]

Thank you! This has made the most sense for me of any anatomy video that I've seen so far

tysm this the best video for anatomy i ever watched

[@theartofnemo]

Thank you!

[@golden-gamingmore5931]

literally THE BEST TUTORIAL OUT THERE

[@nene4658]

I think I'm starting to get it. Thanks for the video, definitely gonna study this video to really get down anatomy cause I really want to start drawing characters and all that good stuff.

[@al3x___189]

Ily sm for this, i really wish i saw this when i searched up ‘anatomy for beginners’ for the about three months ago. It literally took me about 5-20 mins to draw the base. Now all i have to do is learn how to properly draw hands, heads and the lower body. Your so underrated omg❤❤

[@theartofnemo]

Thank you!

[@heyitsmroof102]

Damn, this was exactly what I was searching for. Thank you kind voice in my computer! Also jojo pose in 3:14

[@theartofnemo]

You'll get it eventually!

[@thatherthem]

This was a Fantastic video that makes things... SO MUCH EASIER on my aspect. So I have watched and practiced other techniques from Other youtubers and how I often do my structure of the body is a mix mash between various things I have learned that helped carried my art to where it is, and that I'm just getting the Anatomy a bit better (Though my bigger issues is stuff liek eyes and maybe how the character is posed). so often I to have a box torso but I try to do things like Cricle joints and circle elbows/knees, Triangle for the pelvis (Even though I feel like it's been not helping me nearly as much as it could), and so on and so fourth. Though the Circle joints does not help and usually I end up drawing my lines to where it makes more sense rather than going out of my way to follow the circle and the Triangle pelvis that I usually draw looks more flat and makes things hard on. Basically my Method that I have been using has been scuffed and I needed to find a better way to draw the basic body itself. But, how this uses the Box method through and through just blew my mind! The cylinder and the structuring just made total sense while watching this. This will certainly be something I will keep watching and practice on to make my characters look a bit more proportionate. I appreciate this video and I hope that this can help carry my art further on a proportionate level! I will make you proud!

Lovely teaching and techniques there, thx!!!

[@Kasuyu]

I’ve been drawing for a few years but man I just can’t draw bodies like I want to, it’s always extremely boxy. Comes out bigger than I want it to, so I’m doing an art study. Many of your videos have helped so far! ♥️

Nemoooooo... You are the MAN! This is the mannequinization video that's gonna hit us as hard as Krenz Cushart hit you! Plus speaking of Krenz in your other video, I like the angle-to-the-viewer system he does. 0° 22.5° 45° 67.5° 90° Rotation is never arbitrary 👍😎

organi..fy, organis, organic, organize😭. thanks so much for this man, the next step in my art was to learn body construction because I've learnt the basics of the fundamentals and a good chunk of anatomy due to my biology classes all that was left now is to put them together and start making art but body construction really held me back

It's almost the same with mathmatics in school: So many understand formulas directly and some needs years to understand one formula. Sketching a character is the key to draw everything.

Takes time man, I’m doing it but it doesn’t come in a day, not even a week, could take months to get it down but eventually you’ll get it

[@theartofnemo]

Yeah I was referring to the one taught in many art books like Loomis

I would like to ask a question.. How long will it take me to master body drawing if I practice daily? Will I improve within months for example? (The video was really great, thank you!) ++ How long did it take you to reach this level of drawing?

[@theartofnemo]

It really depends, I'd say give it at least a year or two if you start from 0. You won't have mastered it anyway. I haven't mastered it myself honestly, and I've been at it for quite some time.

"From this:" Shows something I couldn't create not in a million years despite putting 3 years being me drawing constantly

[@BadBame962]

Now’s as good a time as ever

[@BuckBlaziken]

As a beginning artist, for every 3 good looking bodies I draw, I draw 1 that is so terrible I question if I want to continue doing art. Yeah, anatomy is hard especially if you’re just starting out. The issue I got is that I want to draw BIG buff dudes since I want to design intimidating slashers and villains so a lot of anatomy has to be modified or certain things are more significant than others to make up for the drastic difference in anatomy

[@progamingaayushmaan6617]

I have problem making human anatomy directly if there are cilenders and circle. But stick human figure is easy for me. Should I make stick man first then add boxes cilenders

[@theartofnemo]

It's a great stepping stone, try to think of how the stick figure can be a simplification of the boxes, and what to exaggerate to make the stick figure look more dynamic, then build on top

[@recreepy]

Well done! You've left me genuinely impressed.

[@theartofnemo]

Thank you!

[@d_denragon]

I have a question for the basic proportion lines, how do you measure the proportion if you draw the character in any other pose? (like sitting or crouching)

[@theartofnemo]

Eh not really, that's why I said they should be as few as possible. You gotta eyeball and get a feeling for the other poses, especially when foreshortened

[@thehumblepundit9790]

I am just getting started with drawing and I love it. What tablet/software are you using for these videos. I have an iPad Mini, but it seems small. Thanks for amazing videos!
