Description Lesson 2 for Human Anatomy at

Put off until the last moment because i was waiting for students to turn in their homework... Haven't received them all yet, naughty naughty! Since i didn't set a deadline, you can still turn them in. I'll say latest for last weeks assignment will be wednesday 23:59 GMT, anything afterwards will be considered late and get a decreased grade.

I'm probably missing all sorts of stuff, lol. Whateves, i'm taking a nap.

LOL you (the chibi) is so cute! XD

I tried to learn proportions from manga tutorial books, fashion classes and it didn't work for me. But this lesson really helped me. Probably cuz it's more realistic?

And your handwriting... I've seen a lot worse, including mine. LOL I hope your computer gets fixed or replaced soon.

Haha thanks. I tried to be more realistic than i usually am... which was kinda hard, so i'm glad it works for you!

My friend is going through it (huzzah for engineering friends!) so i might get it back before next lesson... hopefully. ((I wish i could be as cute as chibi me in real life!!))

I think it was just better for me to understand proper proportions, before trying different styles.

Yay! I wish I had studied engineering... Not that I could help you with your computer. lol

Lol I'm sure you're just as cute. XD

Haha, that's not so bad... or maybe it is, i dunno. I tend to wear whatever i'm wearing from the day to bed... though i usually put on fresh clothes for the next day... huh.

Lol, you're lucky I'm dressed when I'm up. If I didn't have to go to the school today, I would be in sweats or pajamas all day ;-;

Really awesome lesson It's really helpful.
And I got your a's confused as 2's. When I figured it out, I laughed so hard xD

Haha, thanks.
>.< I never noticed about my a's... it's usually just me reading my handwriting so... oh gosh, a(one) becomes 2, and becomes 2nd... so weird...

Interesting tidbit about the chibi being proportionate to itself even if the head is enlarged. Never knew that.

i like that about chibi proportions. Not all chibis have to follow the rule, but if they don't, it tends to look a bit off, you know?

An additional thing I've found useful with proportioning: The hand (laid flat) from heel to tip of the middle finger is around as long as the face from chin to hairline. If you put your hand on your face your nose'll get in the way and make your hand seem shorter, but it seems to be a pretty alright guide.

Love your handwriting! Very easy on the eyes!

Huh, i've never really thought about that, but it makes sense! I know when i started drawing hands i kept in mind that it was about the same size as the face, but i never really thought much more into it than that. It actually makes sense, lol.

Thanks! I write out my own comics, so i developed my own style to be distinct yet readable.

Ah, comic lettering. Such a labor of mixed feelings.

I got to a point where I realized hand-lettering would mean drawing and positioning the speech bubbles on paper as well, including drawing help lines until I got blue in the face, and that's about where I decided I didn't want to bother with it with my currently active comic. (I still "do" hand-letter the other one, but it's been on hiatus for around a year and a half by now.)

Ah, it's a matter of preference, i suppose. I like drawing in my own bubbles because then i know what the page will look like when i'm drawing, but my sister puts them on in the computer because she likes being able to adjust it. Her's looks more professional; i tend to go for a more "indie" look for my comics...
