Ok everybody. I see how everyone is complaining how they can't draw hands, not to mention the rest of the human figure- WELL SHUCKS, PA!!! I will make some quicky tutorials on basic laws of proportion as well as foreshortening of the human body and all the jazzy stuff. The first tutorial will be with hands, so turn off your 3D app and pull out your stylus/pencil, cuz dudes/dudettes, your hand is now the rendering engine and your brain the 3D app... YOU'RE IN MY WORLD NOW [Evil laugh] MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! [/Evil laugh]
Ok, I was a little late, but I got the new tutorial made. It's on feet! Hope this helps some people out. I'll go back to feet again later after I've made some more tuts of other parts of the body.

I will definatly be using this I learned how to draw hands from a 'draw easy manga' book, so needless to say, I'm not that good
And thanks for these tutorials, there going to be very helpful Tovette :thumb:
(and dude, stop sounding like a old teacher who's trying to impress his young "hip" class )
OH GOD. Yeah those books aren't really the best way to learn realistic anatomy from. They teach you a 'style' but it's best to learn from life and learn the rules of the human figure because after you know the rules you can then bend them to create your style.
You're welcome. This site is full of people who love art and love to make it but seem to have some trouble with the human figure. Hopefully these tutorials will help them make better stuff and feel good about it. If I get some feedback on it then perhaps I'll do tuts on other things than just anatomy.
Har har. Smartass. You stay after class.
Yeah, I hear ya. I used to trace the **** out of stuff. While tracing has a dubious reputation akin to purgery, it's actually an excellent way to train your hand to comunicate with your eye.
Alot of new artists have these great images in their heads of something cool and then when they go to draw it, the picture comes out looking like grand-mal seizure during an acid trip. The reason for that is your brain can't form an image in perfect clarity, just large 'brush' strokes of what your image is, and also it's a bit of your hand not communicating with your brain correctly. With practice that will improve though.
I just wish I could remember where I originally found these!
Hehe silly.
I'm going to start a new anatomy tut soon everybody!! Stay tuned.
Kepp 'em coming, I'm deffenatly gonna try these out:thumb:
I agree with Jedilaw. Loomis is a badass and his technique is quite classical but allows for a bit of conventional aesthetic with the lines.
Not that I'm at all suggesting that you are in that category. Your chops are obvious. :thumb:
well as i sad it is the only one tut about human anatomy that i understand.....thx mate...and keep them coming
For Ramiel:
When the heck are you going to continue your textures making tutorial?...I learned everything i know about photoshop form thouse tuts!.....
As soon as my real-life will be less busy!:D
I still don't know which tut I should do next... If you have any ideas let me know (via PM;) )
anatomy is the thing that handicapes me most in my work
im good at hard surface, even semiorganic, but characters have always been my big weakness (yeah, vray too)
