Fixed that for you.

This is actually pretty useful, because I'm gearing up to illustrate a friend of mine's story.

Like how they simplified the anatomy. Good stuff.

(In fact, I'll show this to Mrs Mang as she paints but has tended to shy away from doing human figures.)

[Remington]

Whoa.

Sadly I am unable to draw (stick figures are about all I can do), but this is serious good stuff.

or just like...take a figure drawing class.
that seems more useful to me, imo

i dont mean class class i mean like...just practice from real people..instead of copying someones formula ! yeah. i dunno im brain farted

[Remington]

Still, this would be invaluable as a drawing resource.

You know, if a part of the face looks wrong and you don't really know why.

True, practicing is real important. But I wouldn't have figured out all that anatomy stuff by myself. especially not the names of the muscles And the bit about "no neck actually means huge [looking up..] trapezius" was quite interesting, I hadn't thought of that.

You're right bout the formula thing. I used to draw a lot of cartoons, nothing realistic like this though (possibly cause I did not know about all those muscles), especially the first bit is really standard stuff for any cheap "how to draw cartoons" book you'd care to pick up at the cheap ramsjh (remaindered) / 2nd-hand bookstore. Those often leave out the anatomy stuff, well do they show some drawings but not even as detailed as this one picture.
I usually shy away from that sort of thing exactly because of the formula stuff, I don't want my drawings to look like someone else's. However, if you're just getting started, you learn, and with practice your style will deviate from whatever you started out to copy, anyway, right?

I've been copying lots of peoples formulas and they all help. my drawings are now only shit as opposed to atrocities.

[Fredfredly ⊂(◉‿◉)つ]

well if its useful for other people I STAND CORRECTED!!!!

NOW MAKE SOME ARTS

Remember, kids - practice makes slightly less than awful.
