I was watching a lot of your videos and not commenting would be dishonest: thank you very much for your videos, they're of great help. The way you indicate how the muscle is constructed in this particular video is a time saving for learning body proportions. Thanks again !
I really could use help drawing muscular women. One of my characters is a very buff young lady and I always draw her looking too much like a man with breast implants lol
Hey Mark! I love your art, I learned how to draw anime and such from your vids and I appreciate that you're taking the time to make these. I've learned so much, and because of you, I've improved so much! I'm now working on portraits and they look realistic. Thank you so much!
i tried drawing soldiers in a war scene the soldiers did end up looking like they've been through war with all of those missing parts and disproportunate arms and shit
I have not drawn in exactly 3 years and I have forgotten your existence. You've motivated me before, with your tutorial about drawing clothing and the thing you said in the end, somewhere the lines of "If someone said, You can't do it, tell them Mark Crilley said you can!" Man I've missed you. Thank you so much.
From what I can remember when I tested this out. 7 heads tall equates to about 5'10 which is the average height of an American male. But cartoons (anime, comics, ect) tend to have large heads in proportion to the body and if you are used to looking at them a realistically drawn male head tends to look tiny. The width of the shoulders when facing forward on a real human male is about 3 heads, its rare to see this in cartoons. That said, I have notice that American superhero comics will often make the head on the smaller side if they want to character to look buff...broader shoulders gives that effect.
+undetestable1 Correct me if I'm wrong :) but say you wanted to make a dude who was 6'5. Assuming you are using the 7 head proportion, he would still 'have' to be 7 heads tall. The head of a taller person is going to be proportionally larger than someone who is shorter. It's only something to "proportion" the rest of the body to and doesn't necessarily equate to set "real world" measurements. 7 heads (more often 7 1/2) is usually used cause it looks more natural then say 8 heads (Vitruvian Man) which is actually popular for fashion sketching and 6 for making things look more childish. Cartooning thereafter would be the distorting or exaggerating of said proportions and the amount would depend on the style or genre of the artist.
Nate Fuchs You may be right i haven't thought about it from that perspective before and its been years since i took a life drawing class. But i do know that when i measured a shorter man's head in proportion to the rest of his body it came out closer to 6 heads tall and a man around 6 and up was about 8 or 9 heads tall. I agree that the head of a tall person might be a bit larger but i dont think its a significant difference. Remember we are stacking the heads ontop of eachother. With all that said everyones body is different a people, especially the tall basketball player types often dont meet up with the expected standard. Like your foot is supposed to be about the same size as the distance from your wrist to your inner elbow or your arm span is supposed to be roughly the same as your height. Most people fall outside the ideal range one way or another. Athletes often have "odd measurements" that make them better at a certain sport. Basketball players have disproportionately huge hands, i believe Micheal Phelps has a super long torso, ect.
, I think its pretty hard to believe shoulders could be 3 heads. Are you saying the whole shoulder span or the absolute value length of each shoulder to the spine? and when you say 3 heads, I just want to clarify in thhis case are you doing long ways or width?
Not to the spine. I meant the length from one shoulder to the other (left to right). Theoretically you could place a head on either side of your existing head and they should take up the existing space on your shoulders. I hope that made sense?
few tips when looking for reference material for very fit characters (though this tutorial is from over a year ago). If you're looking for the herculean style build when making a more superman type character (or someone with that type of build) you'd be better looking for a "classic physique" bodybuilder, or a bodybuilder from maybe 15+ years ago for example Frank Zane or even a younger Arnold Schwarzenegger (man looked like an Austrian Superman when he was around 16). Current bodybuilders competing for Mr. Olympia would share a physique closer to that of The Incredible Hulk, but the Classic Physique competition has builds similar to that of a stronger superhero type. Another thing to keep in mind, is that what you see on stage and in most pictures of bodybuilders is what they look like while dehydrated while also have a very low bodyfat %, a competition build wouldn't be practical for someone fighting crime. So you may want to look for pictures of your reference during the off season or look at athletes like swimmers, football players, etc. tl;dr "Mr. Olympia = Hulk physique, Classic Physique = Superman/Greek legend, highly visible muscles = not hydrated/hungry"
I love your style Mr Crilley, always so humble even when you are teaching things you are expert about. Thank you for all the content you are making available on the channel.
The height of the figure differs between the character you're trying to draw, when I draw I like to develop somewhat of a story behind them. It helps me get an idea of what they might look like, how they would dress, and facial expression, it also affect the pose they are in. Just a little helpful tip for anyone browsing the comments. I am by no means a good artist but it helps me.
it's not about creating a story it's about getting the drawing that you want XD no matter how i try i never get the character that i want even if i made a story for them DX
What a great starting point for anyone who, like myself, wants to draw a basic body! And the narration is done perfectly-I feel like you're talking directly to me :)
Thank you for the many drawing lessons you give for free. They are fantastic. It's a pity that not a single book has yet been published in Dutch. I wish you good luck.
Well Mark, i'm glad you asked, and yes, you are right. Depending on how much you train the chest muscles it will more or less push the nipples downward. However, if you train the lower chest more, it will push them up. It also has to do with just the genectics and muscle formation of the person. Im into bodybuilding and drawing so this video was really great, Thanks! Love and support from your buddies up here in Canada, keep inspiring! ✋🏽
FWIW I really like your longer videos! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, and learning how talented artists break their art up into little steps is really cool to learn!
The collarbones (or clavicles) are two separate bones. The "connection" many people see, and the shadow between them comes from the sternum, which is just below it.
As for the muscles below the abs, they CAN get more defined if you're an extreme bodybuilder, but that's extremely rare and unnatural. And the muscles on the front of the thigh are the quadriceps, or quads, and the back ones are hamstrings. I don't know much about the nipples, but if I were to guess they move because the skin of the pec is being stretched by the muscles. Hope this helps. Might not be totally right, but it's what I've picked up over the years via dance. :3
markcrilley Hi Mark! I enjoy your videos a lot! This video helped in a moment in John Steilchenburg when I was designing the characters, this video helped because of how you did this guy, the 3rd main villain guy was supposed to be pretty fit. I liked how he came out, he didn't look just like yours, he had longer hair and a small mustache. He mostly wore a trench coat and had many fascist symbols and shit on his outfit. He led a huge army of Khlakian fascists called the "Arrows Of Light". I won't go on further, but for this video helping with my comic, thanks Mark! -Counter-Weight Comics
This video was very, very informative, Mark. So much goodness in a single swoop -- good references and excellent, excellent commentary. I have to tell you, I got caught red handed, openly chuckling at the Arnold impersonation as well as the bit about the six pack. These videos are always a treat, Mark. Thanks so much.
@@markcrilley Hey, Mark. Ya think you could an in depth tutorial on female body proportions like you did with this video, as well a tutorial on a female head and shoulders, please?
Every since I picked up my first crayon I always wanted to draw properly. But after years of trying I just couldn't do it on paper. Recently I found out I can draw a lot better using computer software but I had no idea how to draw characters for my writing. This is the first video of yours I've seen and it has helped me so much. I've went from stick figured to decent looking drawings of my characters and I would like to say thanks for all the help your videos gave me :D.
it's amazing how simple it seems to draw everything bit by bit but the big picture looks amazing. Thanks a ton for the vid. Amazing source for reference
This is a great reference video. It is a great pose to use for character and costume design. I like the way this character was charted. Less lines to worry about than with the heads heigh method. I will try this method out for sure.
Sup Mark. Gave the thumbs up. Learn a few things with this video. I want to congratulate you for the "balls". Even though you knew at some points that you weren't accurate still you showed us the reallity. Specially on the feet section (both hands and feets I find them devilishly hard to draw) you totally were aware that they're a bit off but never the less you kept it on. So straight "A" for the courage and reallity check (at least i felt it). Thank you so so much.
I actually have one of your books. mastering manga. my uncle got it for me for Christmas one or two years ago. I knew you had a UA-cam channel but my friend got me to get on here. it's wonderful. I needed this because I stink at drawing males.
I got myself into trouble by give myself a lot of practice drawing heads and faces to the upper body, but never the lower body, so now I'm trying to learn to balance out the quality of my art 😅 I've barely ever drawn a full figure before, so this will help a lot. 5 years late, but thank you for the tutorial!
Yet another amazing and helpful video, this will be extremely useful! I especially appreciate you including the basic stick figure, as that is how I usually frame up all of my poses :)
I was drawing this guy right along with you, Mark. My guy turned out surprisingly good considering I'm into fashion drawing and almost always draw only woman.
I watched the first minute and stopped the video to draw the head, i got carried away and drew the whole body accurately without play the rest. i feel proud
Very helpful video. That's why I follow your channel, because there are short videos for just a quick look and this long, detaild ones with lots of tips and you explain things very easy to understand. It's a shame that I can't buy your book now because it would be very expensive to send it for Brazil (where I live). Thank you for the video.
You're the Bob Ross of Manga! I'm 25 and was always too shy to do any art in school as it was considered "nerdy" back in the 90's/00's. I have always been a writer though, done some online stories etc. Now I'm wanting to do my own Manga and I'm finding your videos extremely helpful. However, I completely lack natural talent haha. I feel I lack the "instinct" for it. Oh well.
Mark you are awesome. Been seeing your video since day 1. I love your novel Brody's Ghost. Those illustrations are fantastic. Keep doing video and be the greatest youtube art teacher.
Have you tried drawing/colouring a vortex before? I'd love to see how you do something this different~ I've tried, but failed, so seeing you do it could give us some reference~
Your videos are great. It seems like almost all how-to-draw channels all focus on the "riskier" elements (because thats what gets the views) of art and it's hard to try to learn drawing while staying away from that. Great video as always :) Thanks ~Me
Awesome! I have been wanting to talk to you on many of your old pics. I have been going through your art and having so many "Aha" moments, especially in what people were talking about when they told me "you're pretty good, you just need to work on your shading." referencing cartoons wasn't helping. Anyways, A hundred thank yous for the times I couldn't say it. Now to the reason I chose to comment on this picture. I enjoy your alternative teaching methods, like how to measure hight without the 8 heads rule. It really brings a whole new light to what I learned so far, and even much clarity. I can't wait until I get your collection of books into my own personal library. As for the male nipples, I had to laugh because I remember Robin Shou, who played Liu Kang in the first Mortal Kombat movie, and noticing that his nipples, somehow, migrated themselves to the very bottom of the pecs. I don't know if he had lowered nipples as a kid, but I do believe you are right about the nipples going down the peck, rather than staying in the middle-ish area.

It's a shame that I can't buy your book now because it would be very expensive to send it for Brazil (where I live). Thank you for the video.
+Mariana Casaca Hirayama You're very welcome Mariana-- glad I can help :)
+markcrilley Hey, Mark. I'd like to purchase Brodie's Ghost and the Manga drawing booking. I was wondering where they're available.
loved this tutorial it was really helpful
You're the Bob Ross of Manga!
I'm 25 and was always too shy to do any art in school as it was considered "nerdy" back in the 90's/00's. I have always been a writer though, done some online stories etc. Now I'm wanting to do my own Manga and I'm finding your videos extremely helpful. However, I completely lack natural talent haha. I feel I lack the "instinct" for it. Oh well.
Really nice video! Thank you
excellent ! Thank you. Very helpful.
dynamic poses, like the ones you see in action seens with foreshortening and a dramatic effect
Mark you are awesome. Been seeing your video since day 1. I love your novel Brody's Ghost. Those illustrations are fantastic. Keep doing video and be the greatest youtube art teacher.
+alexandre Dart Thank you Alexandre!

MY MAN U JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER THIS HELPED SO MUCH AND I LIKED AND TURNED ON POST Notifications!!
It was very helpful Mark,thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
14:53 YESSSSSS. HALLELUJAH. MASSIVE sticking point for me
Have you tried drawing/colouring a vortex before? I'd love to see how you do something this different~
I've tried, but failed, so seeing you do it could give us some reference~
Your videos are great. It seems like almost all how-to-draw channels all focus on the "riskier" elements (because thats what gets the views) of art and it's hard to try to learn drawing while staying away from that. Great video as always :)
Thanks
~Me
joints are confusing, this video helped a lot! like from pluto and back
It doesn't mater that i'm girl bu now i'm in love with drawing bodies and that's amazing lesson for me ;) thanks.
Any chance you can do a video on how to draw dinosaurs?
Awesome! I have been wanting to talk to you on many of your old pics. I have been going through your art and having so many "Aha" moments, especially in what people were talking about when they told me "you're pretty good, you just need to work on your shading." referencing cartoons wasn't helping.
Anyways, A hundred thank yous for the times I couldn't say it.
Now to the reason I chose to comment on this picture. I enjoy your alternative teaching methods, like how to measure hight without the 8 heads rule. It really brings a whole new light to what I learned so far, and even much clarity. I can't wait until I get your collection of books into my own personal library.
As for the male nipples, I had to laugh because I remember Robin Shou, who played Liu Kang in the first Mortal Kombat movie, and noticing that his nipples, somehow, migrated themselves to the very bottom of the pecs. I don't know if he had lowered nipples as a kid, but I do believe you are right about the nipples going down the peck, rather than staying in the middle-ish area.
