I learn by working backwards!

While working on a commission, I noticed my knowledge on drawing ear details has suffered over the years, so I decided to brush up by learning how I learn best; tracing and breaking down reference material. What do you think? Does this kinda thing seem helpful to you? Or interesting to see? >w<

Art Tip #3 - Quick Anatomy Tips

Anatomy is something a lot of us artists loath to learn and cry to master. As someone who dedicated a good amount of time trying to master it, I understand. Luckily for you fellow artists, I am here to enlighten you.

On this art stop, I will be giving some quick tips on how to pull off anatomy!

Drawn References:

Of course, anatomy isn't something one can master instantaneously. With proper application of these techniques and a lot of patience, you'll learn every bone, muscle, and tissue in the human body in no time!

(And be sure to keep your own anatomy in check, aka your posture, you shrimp)

(Adult) Human Proportions

Finished the first basic anatomy tutorial! This is all very widely spread info that was handed to me like day 2 of art school, but I wanted to have my own version so that I can share it freely.

How do you draw humans so well?

Your gijinkas are all so cool specially little Palkia. So my question is could you give some tips or pointers to drawing people?

Or for someone just starting to draw?

Oh gosh, thank you so much!! Honestly, it's really just lots of practice, lmao. If you are drawing something consistently, you will start getting better the more familiar you are with the subject at hand. I try to draw as often as I can so I can stay consistent and keep improving.

For humans in particular, I find that looking up poses and studying proportion helps a lot!

And thinking of the character in 3D also plays a big role in creating believable poses. To study, perhaps try breaking down pictures of poses like this, it's great practice to get an idea of proportion.

Thinking of a human (or anything, really) as a bunch of shapes is a really helpful technique. And once you figure out how all the shapes work together, you can apply them to your own art!

And one final thing, one of the most important things is to not be too hard on yourself as you're learning :) Just keep at it, and improvement will come naturally. Good luck!

(I also have a tiny guide to drawing legs in particular, so I will add that here too)

Hey there! I was studying anatomy and made a couple exercises to help me in the process, and i thought i could make them into small tutorials for anyone that needs them!

I'm not an expert, so if there are any inaccuracies please let me know! I might make an update with it in mind

Here's one on the human torso (excuse my low understanding of anatomically correct terms pls)

And here's two on the human head! one for the head itself and another one for adding features

If you're looking for more on the topic, i would recommend Bluebiscuits on youtube! they're great at explaing concepts like these, and they have a lot of videos on art tutorials, have fun sketching everyone!

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD ONLY)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
