Learn Leg and Torso Anatomy (How they Connect)

[@mxed1916]

Okay that thumbnail made my brain chuckle for a few seconds.

[@thealphaoozaru7755]

I was literally struggling with drawing legs and hips so this was perfect timing!

[@jonathanmporampora2877]

Would definitely like a head to torso video. I have so much trouble with that.

[@TheDrawingCodex]

Will do!

[@jonathanmporampora2877]

@@TheDrawingCodex you're probably my favorite art youtuber

[@cory99998]

same here, mine always feel wonky despite having decent perspective skills

[@sodawannabe9423]

I like how you talk about it as solutions and problem solving. Ive never thought of this kind of art in that way. It’s always been “this is how you need to do it.” I like how you reason with it and build up to a solution.

This is super helpful! We studied a lot of muscle anatomy in high school art class but not so much where bones live, so my figures are always missing those little notches and dips that really make things pop. Going to see if you have a video on perspective and limbs - I always struggle with foreshortening and someone sitting, e.g. thank you!!

[@TheDrawingCodex]

I’ll try to do something on perspective and foreshortening of limbs!

[@Alan-tu7cg]

You are very concrete, practical and right forward. And also had the freedom of not attaching to any specific method which I find very very useful. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@KillerTacos54]

Thank you so much for making this incredibly valuable video !!!

[@Cado1493]

Was just gonna say I haven’t seen this anywhere I needed this 😭

[@pega1527]

Watched till the end. Great stuff. It's very valuable to me coz I am studying human torso. Btw, Mr. Tim can you do a demo about movements/flexibility of torso, like how to bend, where to bend it, and usual mistakes. It will be a very very valuable lesson, since there are less contents on you tube about that topic. Peace.

[@trippyplants6849]

I would also be very interested in a demo like that!! That would be soo helpful to learn from.

[@johnwilson381]

This was so helpful. Thank you. You mentioned doing another one about the arm connecting to the torso and that would be great! My shoulders always look so strange. Thanks again!

[@cathykaden]

Thank you so much for your simple way video to show the torso drawings. 👍 😍 Greetings Cathy from OreMountains / Erzgebirge 🤩 Germany 🇩🇪

Hi Codex.. great talk about, when I got more serious about art work, I bought a lot of art instructional books, got rid of them all except my Loomis books, overall I think they're the best for beginning to advanced artist. Bye'eeee 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

[@hendrikbode933]

I was actually studying mostly leg anatomy for the last week or so and for me it was hard at first to connect all this knowledge to an actual drawing that is not extremely muscular or a skin and fatless figure. I think the approach you are showing here which is kind of loomis like probably works best. Start with sort of a frame, like a mannequin, get proportions and pose right and then put it together using the anatomical knowledge. Obviously it‘s still very hard. Sometimes it even feels like working through the musculature is not even worth it, but I am pretty sure in the end it is very much worth it and only then you can really appreciate and study works of sophisticated artists. Thanks again for another video! :)

[@Germania9]

Thanks for this, Tim! Do you also have one for how to connect Arm & Torso Anatomy?

[@cory99998]

Great video tim!

[@pandakuninghitam2213]

This is really good lesson ;). I hope later you can also cover about clothes and drapery 🥺🥺🥺

[@thomasfarr16]

Okay but how you draw that big dock tho!

[@Themagiciangr]

Hey can you make full draw video from different styles like avatar,gravity falls?

[@anq4274]

Misleading thumbnails XD

[@hellafineman]

ima be real that leg sticking out in the thumbnail looks a looot like something else

[@SpeedAnarchy]

To me it looks like a bread loaf on his cock 😂

[@bmmania0120]

Definitely😂

[@tcdes13]

Already looking for this comment before watching the vid lul

[@thefriendlyaspie7984]

i really dislike Burne Hogarth Dynamic Anatomy book, its says dinamic but all the muscles are stressed, and its not how muscles work in real life. i prefer hampton although is more intro to anatomy and more figure drawing.

[@jlgilstrap]

In Part 2 of your Illustration Mini Workshop, you mentioned the third mistake you made was deifying other more skilled artists. Is that a mistake because it implies that the status of 'art god' isn't attainable?

[@TheDrawingCodex]

Yeah I think so... I feel that viewing the world that way held me back a lot. I think it was focusing more on an end goal rather than the process that is involved in getting there. I also never actually met many art gods in the flesh... they were normally very humble and it was clear they struggled with the same art frustrations and constant challenges that everyone else did. I think in the end we are all on the same journey and no matter how far we get, our experience on the road is very similar.
