Description
I suddenly kicked myself in the rear and said: "Yo! I wanna do a tutorial!"And my choice of topic... well... Honestly? It damn near causes me physical pain seeing how some beginning artist maim the human body without even meaning to. So I thought I might as well do my best to help them get better.
NOTE: This is very down to basics take on anatomy. Many artists insist on studying and mastering all the 200+ bones 500+ muscles of human body, but I'm not that kung-ho yet. This is how I do it.

Thankyou for making this! Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of 'hips and shoulders in opposite directions,' and suddenly... everything is making a lot more sense.

Very good idea! This kind of tutorial is still useful. A basic way of seeing the body is always helpful at the beginning. At each work is to study the anatomical details.

This is probably the most helpful thing I will ever encounter on this website. I've been drawing sorta freely without looking at how to do proportions for about 7 months.. and I finnaly decided i needed some help. I never used guidlines either, which is why all of my stuff looked like crap.
Thank you for this tutorial. It has, and will help me more than you can imagine.

Wow! That helps a lot! Thanks for posting! Just throwing this out as a suggestion, but you should really make this available as a print! I'm constantly needing a reference on the human body when I'm sitting in class. Just a thought.

This is very nicely done! And frankly a lot more useful than studying 200 bones. I really like the way you show the body proportions.
Speaking of proportions, have you noticed that the nostrils and ear canals are never too small for a finger to fit inside?
