Description Well i've been practicing anatomy lately. Looking at tutorials and such...

unfortunately, almost every single freakin' tutorial on deviantart is anime, which means it won't help me much in my endeavour to make a simplistic cartoon feel...

that doesn't mean i'm going to throw out anatomy though. Thanks to StevenSanchez and his many VIDEO tutorials that mostly center on american super hero comic book style, i've taken a new look at anatomy. Otherwise i probably would have just thrown it away and made crazy little stylized doodles that look completely unrealistic XD

Anywho, because of Sanchez, i decided to try to come up with my own anatomy guidelines that will hopefully differenciate it from the generic anime or cartoon art on Deviantart (cartoon art is very much lacking though, so that part shouldn't be too hard )

Anywho, i'm not sure if this pic is anatomy for pre-teens or adults... still trying to figure out exactly what head-to-body ratio to use on adults... though, considering that cartoon style generally doesn't matter too much, i might stick with this as a full grown adult stance... but i'll figure that out later.

at any rate. i have a feeling i'm on to something here... Hopefully i can draw humans good enough that they can stand side by side with my other, more cartoony characters

That's true... I'm also wanting to do realistic cartoon... that is not an anime or manga... thoses things are freaking hard to find, as you said !

I'm sure there is one or two tutorials on this site that could help us !!!

There's also the option of studying actual human anatomy or something and trying to come up with your own re-indition...

Buuuuuut tutorials are easier

I think if you made the toes smaller it wouldn't look so out-landish, but other than that, it's pretty good.

Hate to break this to you Yoshiman, but not every girl has an hourglass shape

but whatever. I'll have to try it out anyway someday XD

Hm, nice! Way better than I could ever come up with, because I suck at anatomy.

My only criticism are the toes--they kind of look like Mewtwo's. Other than that, great stuff!

yeah. still trying to figure out toes... I like the cartoony style i have, but it makes it look pretty weird. i'll probably modify it... perhaps add another toe to make it four instead of three XD

Yeah, that'd probably help. XD Cuz you got the rest down pretty much--just need to work on those.
