Exactly, i wish someone would have explained to me where to put each part as a kid, cuz the shoulder always came out too weird, and legs too long or big 😭
to be honest this tip with circles is not helpful because you need to learn where the muscles and shapes are, but the final sketch also doesnt look anatomically correct so maybe its a beginner
@@Yourfavoritedummyisherey tip is that you use reference of what hand you want and draw the outline of it (no shapes) (do this in traditional art not digital because that’s tracing)
It's a good tutorial for starters, the proportions are a bit off but I think it's just in a different art style, maybe try a to do more poses as well! :)
@@HatsuneMiku668 the hands and arms and legs are not anatomically correct meaning the limbs and muscles are not in the right spots, the hands are also twisted in an unnatural way.
@@HatsuneMiku668 i dont think tha te what they were referring to, i think they just mean how the anatomy isn’t really correct, which would make it more unnatural looking too. Granted, anatomy is really hard to learn and takes time, practice, and studying for most :)
This is good advice for begginers, but after a while of understanding the proportions and how a human body works when it comes to posing, its never bad to push the boundaries with foreshortening or slightly off proportions for more dynamic poses.
Good now try full body with some sort of dynamic pose😭 Tired of drawing everyone just standing, last time I tried to do a pose it looked like Venti's spine was snapped and folded in half
"Are you struggling to draw full body sketches?" YES, YES I VERY MUCH AM! *You read my mind* I no joke was struggling with that today and said to myself "Why does the body look so wierd"
this isn't intended as a hate comment but i don't think you should be teaching art, drawing something complex like a human without learning how its actually constructed is a poor approach. Your art is really good, i've seen your shorts and you have great lines, and your facial anatomy is looking really good. But in order to teach i think its reasonable to ask that you take some time to really learn and understand anatomy, dynamics, posing and gesture if you plan on continuing with tutorials
@@Jessica-hh9mm yeah, and not all are helpful. Like this one was helpful initially, but then they just started flashing through each step instead of giving the full picture.
EXACTLY. Like not trynna be mean but tutorials like this is one of the reasons i took alot more then i should have to get the stage I am now. It doesn't teach how anatomy actually works, how the body moves in different prespectives, the muscle structure the body has etc. Like if you wanna in this style fine, but I wouldn't put this on for beginners to learn atleast the basics of anatomy.
Don’t use boxes for sketches,try to copy the figure of a human by looking at a full body skeleton and follow the ribs. I learned this from Samdoesarts. (If it works for you then good,this is just a tip that helps me)
this can be a good starting point for beginners!! but for me personally, i think that it is more beneficial to study the three dimensional forms that make up the body and their proportions in relation to each other. practice is key, and drawing the body from different angles and simplifying it into more organic shapes is very helpful. using this strategy shown in the video isn’t incorrect but (at least in my experience) it can lead to stiff or flat looking art. i try thinking about the full 3d forms and gesture of the pose, building up slowly, rather than a line skeleton with joints underneath the skin/clothes. just my advice!! do whatever works for you :)
*How to draw a full body* Step 1: Bring a pencil Step 2: Bring a notebook Step 3: Have talent:)) EDIT: Omg ty for likes:)) And also I saw the comments and yes with some practice and motivation you can do everything you want but that's not the point... I was joking guys don't take this so serious(also I'm so sorry for the ppl who have none of these #justiceforyou guys)
While this might be a good tutorial for people who aren’t planning on actually learning how to draw people and just need to draw a human once for something like a card (or something like that idk) People who actually want to learn how to draw humans definitely need to learn things like perspective and anatomy to be able to actually draw their own ideas for poses etc. without having to copy everything off someone else or needing to trace other people’s work. And yes, it can take a long time to learn and it might be really frustrating to you (I have been through the same, but trust me, it will pay off💕) If you actually want to start learning these things I definitely recommend Marc Brunet’s RU-vid channel, it has helped me a lot 💫 Also, good luck, u can do it 💕💕💕
hello people struggling with bodies! A tip is that half the body is the upper body and the other half is the lower body. (I use 8 heads for proportions so 4 would be upper body and 4 would be lower body) The hands should be below the pelvis and the hands are about the size of 1 head. Studying muscles can help make your anatomy look more natural so please look into studying muscles :) Oh and bonus: fingers are typically the same length or shorter than the palm, some people draw the fingers longer for artstyle preference though.
What bothers me sm is that most tutorials on face or body at from the front and ppl just rely on those little shapes which makes their poses stiff and weird
what helped me the most is proko’s gesture drawing videos and just doing life drawing. or if you prefer practising at home quickposes has a huge library of images
OK but they’re not teaching anatomy. They’re teaching basic structure. This is still going to be helpful if you have no idea what the fuck you’re doing it’s a good start is what it is
As someone who is learning to draw again, I gained in confidence when I realized that even the most established artists begin with this technique every time! So don’t over pressure yourself
I suggest drawing where you want the hand to be before drawing the position of the arms. And make sure to curve the lines as well just a bit. Nothing in the body is straight, we all have curve.
Find references! In my opinion, that’s the best way to learn. Find references of real people instead of drawings if possible (because you won’t be copying someone else’s art style which could contain mistakes or be leaving details out. There’s nothing wrong with liking a style and studying it, though.) Once you’ve found some good references, do your best to redraw them just by looking at them. If it helps, you can draw over the reference and mark out the main shapes that you see so you know how to start.
@@ryanmeehan3438 ? no??? that's really all it takes, drawing chubbier people is exactly like drawing skinnier people! it's just a matter of widening them out and using more circles rather than lines!
This is ok for beginners but imo ill recommend drawing line of action and then drawing silhouette.. I'll recommend Not adding small circles because it makes it difficult to draw .. Simply just use a refrence
this method is only working when u good enough with proportion and anatomy of the body, basically just go get the fundamental first and u will be comfortable with any method u like of it if u have a knowledge of anatomy stuff
This only feels helpful if you already kinda understand how to draw a body The second you try drawing a complicated pose it seems like it might fall apart, its much more beneficial to actually learn how to draw a body Also in a relaxed standing stance lower the shoulders, there very high and stiff
Just remember guys, this method does not work for everyone! And before you really do learn how to draw full bodies, it's good to learn anatomy beforehand!! Knowing where to put muscles/skin and how proportions work before learning to put everything into one full piece makes it a lot easier. AND DONT FORGET, USING REFERENCES HELPS!!!!
This looks gorgeous!! 💖 Personally I’ve found that putting a single line in the middle for limbs hasn’t really worked for me. Instead, I draw circles for the joints and then connect them on each side! The one in the video is a great method, but if anyone is struggling with that part of it I hope this helps
I have some things to say and explanation to do: *The line's supposed to represent the backbone. For straight drawings, you can just make it straight like in the video, but usually it makes it look stiff. While drawing any other pose, you'll have to bend it; at least a little curve. *The circles are meant for the joints. They are to indicate where the body parts go and get an idea of the pose. You can't draw a straight line for the body parts, then add the joints and then the mass. *Always start with the head. It can tell you where the body will be, how big it will be and everything else. *It's not really good to draw flat shapes. Don't draw squares or rectangles, draw cubes and cuboids; don't draw circles, draw spheres or ovals; don't draw triangles, draw pyramids and cones. This is to add 3 dimensionality, unless you're trying to draw specific logos or something else, but except that only use 3d shapes. *Don't go into skins or clothes directly right after adding the joints, line and head. You gotta add a rough mass. Then clean things up, it'll be easier. Although it is up to you; add as many sketches you want to before cleaning it. Don't do it too much though. *These apply for every pose, whether static out dynamic *AND USE REFERENCES! Can't draw something? Use reference! It might not look how your want it to at first, but you gotta continue. You got this!
To everyone that really REALLY want to draw anatomy and learn how it works, please start studying it. No, not just with circles. I mean learning how the bones and muscles work. If you know that, it would be way easier to draw different body shapes and poses. It's a lot more work but definetly worth it. I recommend the Playlist from Proko: ru-vid.com/group/PLtG4P3lq8RHFBeVaruf2JjyQmZJH4__Zv
For shoulders there’s a way to make them more relaxed and more realistic ig. You make the neck straight lines, then in the center(or wherever depending on how long you want the neck) start making a triangle and make it as long as you want your shoulders, then bam relaxed shoulders 😎
If you want a stiff looking body or pose, go ahead & use this. This is helpful for beginners, not experienced. That body looked really stiff in the end.
I used to try this when I was starting out but found I’m better at just winging the shape and slowly got better at proportions from memory. Took me 5 years to get where I am
tip, find the flow of what your trying to do, the basic shapes and try to lay out the most noticable proportions like the head, chest, arms and legs, use shapes like cylinders, cubes, and pyramids.
