I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. To be honest, dA is full of inaccurate (yet popular) tutorials, but few seem to realize that there's even a problem with them.

Well, i actually feel a little offended now. I've spent 2 years studying anatomy and i've been also taking art classes, believe me, i know what i'm doing there.
This is of course not a perfect and especially not the most common way to draw human bodies (infact i don't even use those steps myself) but this was supposed to be an easy way of drawing them.
I would certainly be able to make a tutorial with every single step of drawing a perfect and correct body shape, however it took me about one year to learn and refine these steps and it's way too complex for everyone to understand.
I was just suggesting a simple method that everyone can use right away without any prior knowledge just to get a first impression of the human body.
This tutorial is made for beginners, who have severe problems with proportions. Most tutorials and instructions are just confusing and lead to nothing than desperation, that's why i created these steps so everyone could draw a halfway decent body.

Moreover, this is supposed to be an "Anime-style" tutorial, there are different anime styles that are not always realistic (take "One Piece" for example).
Sorry for the long reply, like i said, i felt a bit offended ^^

I am sorry that you feel offended, it wasn't at all what I intended. However, even though I think it's great that you study anatomy, I don't think that the explanation came out so well. Is nothing terrible, im not saying that you're a bad artist or something of that sort, im just saying that this tutorial doesn't reflect all your knowledge.

And I know this was supposed to be anime, and for begginers, but I still think that it could be improved.

I really hope you're not mad at me. I trust you and I believe that you know  this subject very well, I really do, it's just not showing in this tutorial.
Peace.

It's alright, also sorry for that quite bitchy reply.
I'm actually pretty grateful for any kind of criticism, especially now that you've explained everything to me.
Like i said, i was focusing on the simplicity, but i guess that i would've been able to put more knowledge into it just like you said.
I will keep that in mind, if i was to make another tutorial (:

I'm not sure how teaching wrong principles on purpose is supposed to help people learn about correct anatomy.

Wait, i never said these steps were wrong, did I? And if it appeared like that, i'm sorry.
Like i said before, this tutorial shows a simplified version of the human body, to make sure everyone can follow these steps.
They might be a bit uncommon but they're quite perfect for drawing anime-like bodies, this was also supposed to be an tutorial for Bleach, in the first place, since i guess nearly 90% of my watcher are Bleach artists themselves.
