Description Ok, this is a compilation on some notes I have taken over the past 5 years or so. This is a tiny snippit of that information. I have reams and reams of information to go through and organize. I want to publish a book on my ideas.

no one has ever publish an anatomy book based primarily on women. Sure there have been "how to draw Comic Females" and "how to draw Anime Females" But never a "How to draw female anatomy" book.

So tell me if you think these patterns are useful. Let me know if the help you draw females better.

Sorry. However, all you have to do is NOT draw the muscle. The shape has a tendency to remain. for Obesity...that's different altogether.

Excellent! Everyone should remain regular. I am glad that my tutorials can act as a non-clinical laxative

Just being silly. Thanks

Oh, don't worry, that was exactly what I meant.

Okay, no it wasn't. I just don't like being out-clever'd.

Yes, I find these incredibly useful, in fact. Especially since I have less use for comic females and no use for anime girls in my line of work.

i could really use this. i'm not terrible, but i'm pretty good at male anatomy. but when it comes to female anatomy, i'm completely awful. couldn't draw it to save my life. (which is sad, seeing i'm a girl. >.<)

it's mainly the legs, which i'm glad you have a little section in the corner specifically for. i'll use that diagonal line sketch to help. thank you very much.

The use of arrows to draw the angles of the body seem like a really good idea for me instead of blocks or shapes. This will be very helpful to study to improve my anatomy skills. THank you!

A couple comments:

As an anatomy drawing enthusiast, I'd have to say this is not bad -- reminds me of stuff you see in lectures from Faragasso, the Chicago School or Industrial Design method. It is well laid out and I like how you show your thoughts here.

HOWEVER, as for saying, there is no "How to Draw Female Anatomy" books -- I'd be a bit more skeptical. You see, there have been a few in the past but they do exist. (Even Andrew Loomis produced a brief pamphlet for Walter Foster on the same topic.) The key is to add use terms like "figure", "form", "body" and "nude" when you do your search for your drawing books relating to female anatomy.

Also, the heart shape theme is a nice idea to include and probably is unfamiliar to modern students. One idea that appeared in cartooning books in the 1950s (when they were doing pinups) was the idea of using the cardioid in a repeating figure to help depict the female form -- from the shoulders to the waist to the pelvis. (I think Jack Hamm even went into it in his Draw the Head and Body series).

Again, nicely done.

Anyway! Total thanks, anatomy is so important!

Thank yous, :U I always found that heart thing kinda funny, but it's a good thing to remember. I'm adding this to my collection of tutorials. We artist gotta stick together. I'll try and check out some of your work later.

This is a great idea! Teaching anatomy through patterns and recognizable shapes seems a great way to remember, and looks very accurate.

I would buy the book I would love to see more!
