Do You Have Any Tips For Anatomy?? The Way You Draw Bodies Flows So Well And Looks So Natural, But Its

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background. 

Very happy to finally post my third tutorial! Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of my last tutorial, I am so happy it was useful for you guys 🙇‍♀️. I feel like this topic was harder to explain so feel free to ask me some questions if you want!

Like last time, I really hope this helps some of you in your art path 🙌

Hello? Im getting into drawing and you leg so well? Any advice?

YES! Ok so disclaimer, I did not make this technique. The technique I use i learnt from Sycra on Youtube, please go check out their videos cause they are super detailed and excellent. I also learned my colour theory from their videos, seriousy good stuff. Ok so I usually start out with a hip box. How this is shaped depends on how you want ur character to look i guess but it’s roughly up turned isosceles trapezium. 

from here the basic measurements are about halves not including the hip box. I tend to make the thighs the same height as the torso. 

Ok so here is where Sycra’s technique comes in. They call it the lightning technique i think?? you essentially draw a curvy lightning bolt then connect it up.

line over top and adjust + feet

the actual composition of the leg i like to think of as tubes with one end smaller than the other. So the thighs are larger at the top and thinner towards the knee. The shin is a more pronounced curve though. You can also cross two lines over as shown and use that as a guideline.

I always use the lightning technique for legs from profile since it works best. The back of the shin is curved while the front is straight unlike the thigh which seems to be soft and curvy all over aha

I hope this makes some kind of sense??????

How I Did the Mosaic Effect

You asked for it, so here it is- a shoddily composed but nonetheless candid and hopefully useful tutorial on the Mosaic Effect I used in the Mollymauk portrait.  Those of a stout and courageous spirit, read on.

could you do a body tutorial please? i always get stuck on the shoulders once ive drawn the head because they always look so board? i’m sure id struggle with the rest of the body too but once i fail with shoulders i usually give up and just draw creepy floating heads...

ooofok so

I’m gonna make u a shoulder tutorial cause a full body tutorial would be absolutely gigantic.ok so u got ur head right, i’m going for a straight forwards view point on this so

there they arenext is the neck, i typically make this thinner than the jawline and bring the length down so that the chin falls about half way between the jaw and the slope of the shoulders.

next i draw the slope of the shoulder on both sides and connect them with a horizontal line. The horizontal line is where you’d put the collar bones.I draw the slopes so that they extend past the ears. I tend to angle them at 45 degrees when standing normally. 

I use this bit to quickly sketch in the collar bones and the tendons (?)the actual shoulder joint though i draw as round with a kind of, rounded corner????? both sides are p much even on each joint. I draw the joint as roughly the same width and the shoulder slope.I am god awful at maths so this bit doesn’t add up but it kinda ends up looking as if it’s split into thirds.

as u rotate the shoulders they over lap each other but the basic elements are still there, just shortened or behind something.

 i’m not great at explaining shoulders all that well but i hope this helps at least somewhat.
