When I look at art fundamental tutorial like anatomy, people usually had their own approach
there is an oblong triangle shape like method from Ethan Becker video, simplify to simple 3D shape, stickman like figure and more
I usually use the oblong triangle method and would like to know how you draw anatomy just to see what is the most common technique WoM artist uses
I could recommend you some youtubers who cover anatomy it just depends if you don’t mind the anime art style
I’m more of a asking ways people here approach anatomy
For me I use the one with circles , ovals and a stick figure I’m not sure what the method is called though. That method usually gets me the best results other than that there’s mannequin method which I use every once in awhile. Although it’s harder to draw curves and other stuff since it’s more square like shapes
hell if i know
idk how to explain this properly but I make circles at joints / rectangles at parts like main body / use other shapes to get the simple version of the body anatomy
and then I just add the muscle and additional details in the sketch after getting the pose idea (and yes these parts still require additional sketches, I have to look up for references on those parts constantly)
I do not have a permanent way to do the anatomy since i change artstyle quite a lot, as of right now im using cylinders as the arms and legs and uhh… Rectangle shaped shape for the torso.
It’s super visible in my process videos, but I’ll say a mix of wire framing (stick man stuff) and rounded shapes.
you dont
You do
Fair warning before you proceed: My anatomy method is pretty shitty and mostly self-taught so you probably dont want to stick too close for it. Just use whatever part of it you like
I break the body into 2 main parts: the chest and the hips. As you can see, they are created from relatively simple shapes and connected by a line.
Afterwards, I simply just add four circles - two on the bottom shape as a base for the legs and two on the top circle as a base for arms. Elbows and knees also utilize these circles.
When drawing a full body keep in mind the the length between the top of the neck and the crotch should be around 3 heads and the length between the crotch and the legs should be equal to the length between the top of the neck and the crotch (aka also 3 heads)
here’s a helpful graphic for that
I use a bit of this in my drawings
