Description I'm no expert, but I do have a lot of years of practice under my belt. This is what I've picked up over time, and I hope it helps some of you out.

Namely Cake, because she asked me for this. xD I drew it out on paper for her and then scanned it all nice and pretty in case she was being polite and saying she could read my scary-ass handwriting 8D

So yay! Basic human anatomy. Nothing beats live observation and practice, but I always will recommend buying an anatomy book to learn muscles and how they work. This way, you learn to draw from your head and you won't always need a photo or reference to work from! :d

I'd also want to refer you to the EXTREMELY talented and sweet friend of mine *ImageC0rrupt3d who has a section of her gallery dedicated to tutorials-- check them out! [link]

Much love and best of luck Kittie

DT says those legs feel short. But then, you don't see me making one, so I'm not gonna say anything.


.. Except I just did.

Revengeful-Lobster [2008-03-18 02:26:14 +0000 UTC]

you show the body being "7 heads tall"
some one told me to use the "8 heads tall" method when drawing males...

im so confused now >__>

hellppp TAT

nayruasukei In reply to Revengeful-Lobster [2008-03-18 02:44:42 +0000 UTC]

Well, superheroes are depicted as 10 heads tall. It's just average human anatomy to be about 5-7, but it can vary xD

This is really helpful, actually. : D I like that you left half the full view just sketch to see the general 'skeleton' before it's fleshed out. :3

And with the eye; more white/less black just means... a smaller iris/pupil?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nayruasukei In reply to Ghostie1 [2008-03-18 01:40:21 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! :3 That, or move the iris up so that the upper part is hidden more and we see more white subsequently.

'cept her arm is broken, but thankfully it's the left, and mine is broken on the right, so I CANNOT DRAW. I am dying a slow and painful art-death....
