Yes, absolutely!! I love muscles! this will be a quick rundown on "male" anatomy, but remember women have the exact same muscle groups and everything here can be applied to drawing muscular women too!
Click read more for pictures and tips!
Drawing muscles is complicated. Especially since they bend around our bones, and they move and retract and expand and all that jazz. The best place to start is to study the biggest muscle groups. I've made a little chart here with the muscles I mostly focus on, but there are millions of similar charts!
By remembering these, or even just having them at the back of your mind, drawing muscles will become more than copying whatever reference you have- you will be applying knowledge, and in turn, you'll slowly understand the relations between musclegroups!
Simplifying muscles is all about choosing what you want to show. Some people barely have any definition, while others have a lot. This is all about personal taste!
By studying good references and applying the muscle groups, you'll learn to draw muscles from memory in no time. However, I do pull up my charts and use references when I want to be extra accurate!
I love Grafit Studio's storefront, they have so many cool reference pictures for sale! i have bought several of their packs, and I highly reccomend them.
I hit 1k subscribers right in time for my fourth tutorial! 🎉🎉 Thank you so much for your support in my other tutorials it really means a lot! I'll soon post a giveaway to celebrate all this so keep an eye out if you're interested!👀
I hope this helps some of you in your art journey and I hope it's well articulated 😩🤞. Anatomy is hard to explain so feel free to send me some ask if you'd like me to elaborate more.
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)
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.
Hey Storm, I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks for drawing/learning anatomy. I know I need to practice more but the problems I'm having with proportion frustrate me and I always end up putting my sketchbook away and quitting
I feel you, anatomy is so difficult and to be quite honest I am not the best to ask, just because I have not taken an anatomy class myself and I am not a great teacher. I'm sorry it is frustrating you so, but I will find some stuff that can hopefully help.
I made this awhile back which was some small things that may be helpful.
Also suggest to watch "anatomy for beginners" videos on youtube, there are a lot of professional anatomy teachers and people who can explain this stuff far better than I ever could.
the most helpful thing for me has been using the head of the character as a unit of measurement. So shoulders are 3 heads wide (though I do a bit more because... buff) and then the average height person is 7 1/2- 8 heads in height.
I hope these help, and best of luck! If you find yourself growing frustrated take a break, make your favorite tea or coffee, listen to some music or anything you love to do and come back when it isn't upsetting you. Trying to continue to draw while you are upset will only make it worse imo. I wish I had some of my frustrated drawings to show you as examples because they are NOT great, and I've been doing this for so long and it still tends to happen to me too.

Back to the video, I made a quick question to you to know if you’d like a tutorial on how I draw, the winners were anatomy and Lineart, so, this video will be divided into two parts and this is the first one :D I hope you like it!

Sorry that it's been a hot minute since I uploaded! Real life farm stuff and commissions have been keeping me busy. With any luck though I'll soon be able to show off a new project/character I've been wanting to add to the channel for a long while :3c
