Description
SIDE NOTE: Please note that this tutorial is a few years old and my own art has improved a lot since then. I will eventually update this, or upload a new one completely. In the mean while, I do hope it helps!*edit* due to dA issues with showing the damn tut, i had to reupload it, no preview image. Sorry for inconvenience with that stupid downloading.
--
The long awaited anatomy tutorial is finished! I hope it helps people, I hope it's satisfactory... It took me forever to do it... oO; This is obviously not for anyone that knows a lot about anatomy already- it's a tutorial to help people that don't know much or need help improving. Please ignore any spelling mistakes... I'm sure they're there even though I did look it over a few times. I do indeed hope this helps people. It's hard to cram something as complex as human anatomy into a little tutorial like this, but at any rate, I still hope some people will find it useful, even if it's not exactly perfect....
Sorry if there's anything I failed to mention- like I said, there is just so much information, it's hard to fit it all in.
Thanks! Enjoy.
Edit: Sorry for the long loading time... >>;;;
EDIT: DISCLAIMER!!! I do not claim to know everything there is to know about anatomy nor do I claim to have a perfect knowledge. I KNOW this tutorial is flawed and is not a perfect shining example of EXACT proportionate anatomy. Please understand this tutorial is not designed to cause you to draw LIKE me- but give you a basic understanding of skeletal structure, muscle structure and how it all fits together. Find your own style and work off more than one source. I do not claim this is the only way you can learn anatomy. You should study from multiple sources, but this can be a good foundation to get you started in an UNDERSTANDING. Again, I do not claim to know all, so do not think that I am. Thank you.
comments and faves appreciated.

Yes! I know about those measurments. It's actually quite interesting to see what can be measured so precisely like that.
Thanks! And glad to help.

Thank you so much for this brilliant tutorial! It's very thorough and easy to follow. The TUM part especially. It'll stick in my head now ^^ thanks again!

Wonderful, thank you for uploading this! It certainly isn't the first and won't be the last tutorial I read on this subject but it's an encouraging one, and one that brings the basics right back: everything's cylinders, don't forget to sketch, and the way the muscles bulge.
Oh and - thanks for the TUM mnemonic!

We're hinting the figure has depth, even if it's blond.

lol, I forgot I put that in there. xD;; I'm such a nerd. lol.

This is very good info for a beginner like myself. You have basically just summarized everything about human anatomy into a single image

I think that this is a wonderful resource for any artist! Good job; this must have taken a LONG time.
I was wondering, would you mind me pinning it on an anatomical reference board on Pintrest? I thought it would be best if I asked you first, and if you would like to be credited as Julie Young, or odduckoasis? I think this would be great to share!
I think I'm going to use your simplification of the back of the leg as a reference A LOT... I have such trouble with it and you've pared it down to something I can understand! Thank you!

Oh, sure, you can pin it xD. You can credit me as Julie Ottosen actually (my married name), maybe side it as odduckoasis, for anyone that might know who I am xD;;
Glad I could help.

"I am not a professional at this" I think your mistaken, professional means your payed for what you do, hence the word "profession".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not sure how I would be mistaken. If I'm not paid for it, then I am not a professional. So my statement is still true.

Oh sorry, thought you meant it like: "I'm not an expert at this" Sorry for wasting your time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm not. I don't claim to be. If I claim to be an expert, than people wouldn't find flaws. xD;; Just teaching a little of what I do know, which isn't much. lol.

Having went to school for massage therapy it's nicely accurate and basically a visual of what I've been basing my own art off of. Good job dude! Plus, was a nice quick brush of names. XD You always remember what they do but names.. there's a million of em. -.-; So yea, thanks for this!

Too many muscles for sure... lol. Bones are easier to remember. xD;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bones yes, boney land marks, not so much. I find muscles are easier to remember just because of where they are placed and for some, how silly the names are. the Bones have such harsh unforgiving names, like around the knee and elbow joints. WoW.

It's kinda nice to talk to someone who has an understanding of this similar to mine. I'll say having that info stuck in my head has helped my art.. but now I need more art help then anatomy itself. XD;

Great tutorial man! I quite like it!

Thanks for making a tutorial!

I LOVE YOU! I have been struggling with anatomy for so long, and have never found an explanation that 'clicks' for me, but this is perfect! Thank you so much for making this, you've sure helped this newbie out a ton!

Oh dear sweet mother of coffee, this is BEAUTIFUL.
I like how many different things you covered so I'm not using a million different tutorials. My favourite has to be the tip for shoulders, mine always come out wonky.

This is a lot more helpful than you give it credit. To us people who aren't skilled in the field of art, this is a very useful reference for drawing people. The most useful one I've found, actually, so thanks a lot for taking your time to help us out
