To anyone who needs to hear this: Don‘t stress it. Anatomy is something that takes time. Only because you watched a 10 minute video doesn‘t mean you know everything. But watch it enough times and practice drawing that stuff from memory (!) and you will 100% get there. Even though it doesn‘t feel like it sometimes. You are awesome. Have a great day 😊

Important notes that weren't covered:

1. At the top-middle of the trapezius you can see the c7 vertebrate bulging out under the skin

2. Pecs also connect to humerus

3. Deltoids also connect to humerus, and they don't fully cover the scapula clavicle bones (these bones bulge under skin)

4. The ischium (pelvis goggles) has a deceiving shape, it starts at the front of the pelvis and curves all the way to under the femur - pelvis connective socket

5. Alot of the leg muscles aren't mandatory to learn because they dont affect the form under the skin.. as a beginner i would learn: glutes, quads, calves, hamstrings

6. The foot has 2 visible boney bumps above the heel, the inward one is taller, and its the tibia.
The outward one is lower, and its the fibula.

Overall great video but marc overcomplicated it abit.. a beginner doesn't need to know all of this, stuff like the individual forearm muscles and the individual leg muscles are super complicated and most aren't even a factor to the overall form.

I would add that its very important to research which female bones shift in proportion due to the gender change.

Oh, Marc Brunet, the bald and brilliant wiz,
Whose artistry shines like a radiant sun,
A master of digital realms, it is,
With hairless head, the canvas he has won.

No flowing locks to sway with gentle breeze,
No golden strands to frame his noble face,
But fear not, for his talent truly frees,
For art transcends the limits hair may chase.

A palette bold, a brush with steady hand,
He paints a world of wonders and delight,
With every stroke, his creations expand,
Illuminating visions in plain sight.

So let us remark,
That Marc Brunet, the bald, leaves quite the mark!

Many many thanks - this is super useful, it’s basically condensed a 300 page drawing anatomy book I have into 10 minutes! Adding this to bookmarks now…

[jamfilledjars]

Literally _just_ what I needed, lol.

Starting to really take a deep dive into anatomy and perspective, so that I can turn it into my strongest artistic strength, rather than my weakest. I want to master it. Want to be a character concept artist and freelance illustrator through and through, with my own brand consisting of my characters. This is just one step towards that goal.

Thank you kindly for all these free resources. They are seriously helpful. Tempted to get the full paid course as well.

Some suggestions for what to learn next. Not a master by any stretch of the imagination, but competent
Not going to lie. Anatomy is hard, but there are some ways to level up faster. If all you want to do is to create believable looking human figures, then I recommend *Morpho: Simplified Forms* When you finish this small 100 page book, you will be drawing believable figures (both male and female). You do need to practice these simplified forms. You can trace these figures initially, but you need to be able to draw them freehand. What happens next is that you will create your own shortcuts for simplified forms as you do figure drawings. I recommend using real human figures to practice as the range of human proportions is vast. If you go immediately to stylized figures of a particular artist you admire, the figures will end up looking the same. Learn the real figure and then stylize.

The next stage of leveling up is to have a basic knowledge of the skeleton and surface muscles. One way is to use a coloring book. There are two great anatomy coloring books: *The Anatomy Coloring Book* by Wynn Kapit and *Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book* Both are used by medical students, nurses, and other health professionals. You can ignore everything other than the skeleton and surface muscles.

Third stage is to get artistic and medical anatomy books. I think many of you can mention ones that helped you. One I want to highlight are the books by George Bridgman. They make more sense once you have fundamental knowledge of bones and muscles as some of his drawings can be confusing if you don't know this. What makes his books classic are that they are artistic drawings and one of his main teaching points is wedging and interlocking forms. Many people use these books to copy, but don't copy blindly. I've done sketches of at least 700 of his drawings and should go back and do them again.

Fourth stage and final form is to draw from life, photographs, and learn to stylize forms by seeing other artists' works. Don't blindly copy, but "steal" ideas you like: like how these artists draw eyes, elongate forms like legs, shorten torsos, etc... exaggerate features like accentuate thicc legs and a curvy derriere.

Being someone with a short attention span, I am VERY grateful you were able to explain all this in a ten minute video! You’re a great teacher and I appreciate that you offer all this for no cost.
I draw purely for fun - I’m not interested in becoming a professional. I’m super grateful that I still have teachers to help me improve despite this, since I still want to learn so I can draw more things and have fun doing so!!!
I just wanted to thank you for not only supporting aspiring professionals, but hobbyists too!! We all appreciate the free education!

Marc draw yourself doing the jack-o pose

A fun game to do while watching this video:
Take a pic you're working on; If the muscle he's talking about is visible on the pic, pause the video and draw it there.
Keep pausing as he mentions muscles that would be visible on your pic, and drawing them in.

Hope someone else finds this comment and finds it useful. : )

[moonlesssky]

Thanks :) That's exactly what I needed :)

[Stolas-whhp]

I used to be super intimated by all the muscles, but this has helped a lot! (Also the fact most of the time you can just group up muscles instead of drawing every single one!)

[greyATK]

Marc, I would have liked to see a section where you talk about fat deposits; I think they are as relevant to artists as muscles and bones when drawing characters!

Forgot to add that, as always, thanks for content you put out there for artists of all levels. Your presentation style is golden.

[DenzilPeters]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have used this video as my first entry into the detailed world of human anatomy. I paused and rewind this video more than a hundred times to make detailed notes and now I am doing my own research about each part in detail.

[Mary-fouv]

I LOVE YOU BRO, like u are one of the few youtuber teachers that have actually helped me with anything. Your videos are always easy to understand, effective and it shows that you really care about your viewers with every video you upload
i've actually tried to learn anatomy with proto but it was really long(i watched it all anyways) but it was really focused for a more realistic art. But i wanted to draw a more stylized art with good proportions and great anatomy(not realistic but to show it's a human xD and not hide it with clothes or cutting the image lol)

[superhans]

Marc can you possibly create a separate video for where you show how you put your anatomy into action? That would be helpful for a couple of people.

[toonydays]

Thanks for this.
I want to get better at designing characters and I've been studying realistic anatomy for a few years now. When I've shown my anatomy study drawings of bones and muscles to people, most of them say that learning anatomy from the inside out is unnecessary and it's only beneficial to draw figures on the surface. I say that's bullshit because no matter what style you want to draw in, having an understanding of the underlying forms can help you with things like drawing believable joints and proportions, as well as how the body squashes and stretches since you need to know where the muscles attach and insert. Even learning the ligaments, the deep muscles and the superficial muscles can help. This goes for if you want to draw in simplistic styles too.

One moderator I've encountered on a reddit art server said that learning anatomy from medical anatomy books are a "waste of time", whereas I found that I've actually learned a lot from those kinds of sources and people do not realize that learning anatomy takes time.

[mofeedboss]

I've been studying anatomy using your tutorials and and the book "Anatomy for Sculpturers" for the past 6 months, noticing HUGE improvements already 🙌🙌
I'd love if you can make a remastered character design video to go along with July study plan in your 2023 year plan 🙏🙏

[minipancakes]

U don't know how much this video helped me .Thanks so much. ur a blessing to the art community ❤

I remember taking an anatomy class in high school senior year. I aced my test with memorizing all of the muscle parts on the body. Now I totally forgot about what they’re called since it’s been years. Seeing this is a nice refresher.

[jadoaesra]

your anatomy classes have been teaching me how to create fantastic skeletal structures for fictional races. you see stuff in world of Warcraft where they have these really weird leg designs because they are animals, but legs are designed to be stood on. it can be different and still work. nature is full of examples. the anatomy courses have taught me how to integrate those examples.
