Heartfelt thanks for all you do and for the care, attention and passion you bring to this subject. For those of us who cannot go to art school, you are a treasure.

Прекрасное видео!
Great video! Thank you!

[@hanifesen5640]

As a person who can't watch videos longer than 15 minutes, I would listen whole anatomy stuff from you no matter what it takes. you are doing a great job.

[@dicko2u279]

HI, only a few months ago I could not draw a straight line but through you tube I have improved quite a lot and I have also found that I prefer to draw figures/faces and Richard your tutorials are just brilliant the best I've found by a mile. I only found you a couple of days ago and my understanding of the body form from the way you explain it has blown me away and my drawing has shown a massive change.
This is a big thank you from me for the time and effort you have put into these videos and long may it continue.

[@claudiolordino2192]

I appreciate your knowledge of human anatomy. Your explanations are quite clear. This is a huge help in figure drawing. Thanks again!!!

[@crunchycrispychip3266]

One of the most helpful drawing videos I've seen. I have never heard of the ASIS until now but it is such an important and helpful landmark.

[@ethancossett7318]

Thanks!

[@RichardSmithemanArt]

Thank you!!!

[@helmetofmeat]

Great video! What would you say the proportions are between the two "boxes" (in the very beginning) ? Perhaps you have mentioned this in an earlier video. I find it difficult to get it right. Thank you!

[@RichardSmithemanArt]

here you go, ua-cam.com/video/YECvIzK02c4/v-deo.html

[@aishin1239]

This was an amazing introduction to this series! Learning a lot from you, thank you professor!

[@lukelafontaine9483]

👍👍

[@ladyshaya]

Hi. What is that "crochet"? I've been looking for something like that, but don't know what it's called. When I do a search for "crochet" all I find are the yarn craft 😅
Where could one possibly get hold of one of those anatomical model dolls? Is there a name for it that I can bring to an art supply shop, and they'll immediately know what I mean? Or is it just crochet?
Thanks for these videos btw, they are great tools for learning, and helped rekindle my love of art and drawing 🥰

[@RichardSmithemanArt]

It’s an écorché. Unfortunately this one isn’t available any more but that would be the search term. Glad the video’s are helping!

[@ladyshaya]

@@RichardSmithemanArt Ah! The transcript says crochet 🤣 Thank you!

[@BRICKMAN-ef4wi]

rector femoris attach to inferior posterior iliac spine, not the superior posterior iliac spine, the rest is correct, thanks for the video.

[@RichardSmithemanArt]

Thanks, and you are correct. But I think conceptually, as a meeting point, using the ASIS as the main landmark helps keep things from becomming overwhelming for most.

[@Minsetti]

Rectus femoris actually originates from anterior inferior iliac spine and the other tendon originates from above the acetabulum.

[@BRICKMAN-ef4wi]

@@Minsetti YOUR ARE RIGHT, BUT I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT ORIGIN AND INSERTION, I JUST WAS TALKING OF THE PLACE OF ATTACHAMENT

[@saharkhanjadoon5938]

@wileycom I wholeheartedly agree. I credit Mr Smitheman for giving me a chance at an artistic career. If I had not discovered him I'd probably have given up.
