Hi I hope you don’t mind, but I was wondering if there are any tips you would have for someone who’s practicing how to draw anatomy? I’m getting back into drawing again and it’s a struggle understanding anatomy from how arms are to legs and such, it’s a bit funny that I don’t struggle much with hands but the rest of the body is a struggle. Anyways I hope this isn’t annoying and I hope you have a good day!

Okay so I'm late to reply but I do have some thoughts

People say practice everyday but that's not 100% true. You just need to be able to Observe and Deconstruct.

By Observe I mean look at Real anatomy. Look at how people around you sit, or how a model stands.

(using SenshiStock as example)

Look at how the weight sits. Are they leaning more weight on one leg, or are they standing up straight? Its important to understand how real bodies work and move, so you can translate it to art.

Now by Deconstruct, the most important thing is that everything is made of shapes. You'll notice in a lot of anatomy posts they show the body broken up by lines for proportions.

(Example image of Clip Studio Paint 3d models)

Of course this example doesn't show exactly How to break up the body. So here's one I did myself using the stock image from the top

Something that helped my anatomy A Lot was just getting a bunch of stock images and 3d models and tracing over and breaking down the shapes of the body, then moving the trace sketch to the side and doing it on my own.

Even if you don't want your style to look like mine, understanding how anatomy works is important with any type of art. You can break the rules if you don't know how they work!

(Example: some art thats slightly more 'cartoony')

The most important thing I can tell you though is that it's okay to be messy and make mistakes. I myself am still learning! So don't be discouraged if it gets frustrating. Sometimes you have to step back and take a break, and that's okay.

Like here's an quick sketch example I did

You can see it doesn't entirely follow that initial rough messy sketch

Essentially TLDR anatomy is hard but you don't have to grind at it, just learn how to break things down and build them up again. Practicing it good and I suggest trying out some loose gesture drawing as warm ups before you work on anything big.

I hope this was at least somewhat helpful to you, Anon, and I wish you luck on anatomy!

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking. #nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose. #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!) #which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around) #and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt) #and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine) #the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly. #but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief) #as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Start a fic with a very simple premise. Promise yourself: "This will be a short one." Write. Realize you haven't planned enough, and the fic is growing much longer than anticipated. Panic (optional but recommended) Keep writing, sobbing because why is this so long? Finish the fic (!!) Celebrate (mandatory). Start a fic with a very simple premise.. Promise yourself: "This will be a short one." Write. Realize that something feels familiar. Panic.

axolotl

#covers my face. this is dumb theyre dumb idk what was going thru my mind making this.h #i like this brush tho i think ill keep using it #i had this thought awhile ago that axolotls kind of remind me of macs ears. and i had a nice thought that if wukong ever saw one #he'd say the same thing. and thats why im sitting here with my head in my hands #macaque doesnt know if hes embarassed amused or straight up smitten. its all 3 #i have such a hard time drawing necks and shoulders.. mac is supposed to kind of hunch up his shoulders #the way some ppl do when they bow their neck down kind oflike. defensive-tucking in position when theyre making themselves small #i cant really get it to look right so it kinda looks like his head is sunken too close to his shoulders. so i guess ill keep practising #maybe if i brought his head closer to the collarbone it will look better. but i struggle with foreshortening so theres a chance itll #just look like his neck starts at the collar. ughhh #god have mercy if i ever draw hugs. i hate positioning the shoulder i hate hate hate it. 10 dead 17 injured #i have new design note ideas for em but ill post another time #myart #doodles #lego monkie kid #lmk #monkie kid #shadowpeach #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #lmk macaque #lmk six eared macaque #lmk liu er mihou

THE SPIDERMAN POINTING MEME????

#AAAAAAAAAAAA #across the spiderverse #spiderman: across the spiderverse #THE NEW TRAILER IS SO GOOD #omgomg #i have a guess as to what the storyline is gonna be #i think miles is gonna learn that as part of his ‘backstory’ his dad has to. yknow. but he wants to go back and change that obviously #thats why all of the ‘saving one person vs saving the spiderverse’ lines and miles saying ‘i can do both’ #and idk exactly how it will play out but basically all the other spiders will be trying to stop him cause changing that part of his origin #could destroy the spiderverse or somethin #UGH IM SO HYPED I CANT WAIT

this is such a reach but ive spent over an hour frantically searching so... if you own a zosan doujin called Morning by the artist Makina in the dawn dj circle... please rb this and lmk...

the cover looks like this

#one piece #zosan #zoro x sanji #it's technically a compilation of 4 of her works #but the thing is this collection also has her twitter doodles and other drawings that i really want to see #i think she went pro n is making original bl which is great!! bc her art rules but im guessing thats why she wiped the fan stuff off her tw #i just fell down a mad rabbit hole looking for it and it has been a Journey. the scanlation grp does not list it anywhere on their lj/blog #the og artist made a new twt and the only place i can find any trace of it is a website that sells doujin #obv its out of stock cos it was published 4 years ago... but the promo photos they Haunt Me #please. if anyone can help at all........

T'is the season! For some Masters Holiday alts, of course. I think Archie would have some strong opinions about the ethics behind arctovish but like if it already exists it deserves a good life nonetheless

#this isnt the usual pokemas holiday alt style at all but i am NOT drawing santa fits #aqua leader archie #magma leader maxie #pokemon masters #pokemas #hardenshipping #thats enough tags of that #i could not be fucked to do a proper drawing after i just wanted to design some silly outfits #also actovishes shiny is so ugly IM SORRY ABT UR EX COLORS ARCHIE #i did my best w what i had. but it was not a lot #oras #i guess it balances out. Archies base palette is better. Max has a better EX palette. #i’ll be skipping new years alts for em i wanna do neo champion ones though #probably palentines too

HOLY SHIT, WHY IS THERE A DETCO REFERENCE IN MY URUSEI YATSURA??

Anyway, this reference is really funny and cute (and I think some episodes ago there was another reference but I'm not entirely sure for that one) since Detco also has a bunch of references to UY as well (this how I discovered Detco in the first place btw), so it's kind of like the UY remake is returning the favor :)

This is only one of them, there's a whole section in the UY wiki which lists most of them (which you can find here).

#great episode!! #all of them were great but thats cuz i have soft spot for all these chapters and i think the remake handled them well! #anyway the funniest thing is that the past week i was thinking 'the new episode will be a mystery sort of one so what if they casually #put a detco reference' and i laughed it off #so this was a surprise lmao #i wasnt sure it was an actual ref at first since mendos wording is a bit different but they both mean the same or the subbers were just #having fun so i guess it still counts but furinkan pointed out that this was indeed a reference so thats cool #urusei yatsura #うる星やつら #urusei yatsura 2022 #uy posting #shutaro mendo #ryunosuke fujinami #onsen mark #dcmk #detective conan #meitantei conan #detco #conan edogawa #haibara ai #lum #god i love them sm

most touching bit that has been going on recently is people including kevjean when they say there are ship wars being fought on jean's holy name as if kevjean is ever even remotely comparable to jerejean (famous) and jeanee (canon)..... there are five kevjean fans and two are me. i dont think we can compete let alone compare but i love the enthusiasm

#LIKE I GET IT. BUT I WISH #my friends my acolytes my sisters and my cousins how i wish. how i wish! #its seriously touching its like having your bumfuck ass small town shout out @ the international news #but unless kevjean is secretly super famous in an underground aftg fight club then we are truly doomed #realistically what do we have. jean's suicide and the 2 in his jersey #thats all #these whores dont even talk. kevin hasnt answered jeans texts in a year #its moreover (moreau + over like joever) and we know its moreover. but i love getting included so thank you #even if kevin is indeed jeans bi awakening its literally crumbs girl its crumbs #i mean i guess you never forget your first love BUT STILL. you understand that its moreover #let renee and jeremy duke this one out kevin has done his time he was cute and pretty when it mattered and now he gets to gracefully exit #also to be honest lowkey kevin doesnt even want jean which hurts me personally but anything for my princess.... #im showing him picture after picture of jean holding puppies and helping old ladies cross the street and kevins asking me where andrew at #hes looking the other way hes checking his nails hes whistling #lalalalalaing even #txt #kevjean
