    This is great! I’ve been binging these basic anatomy videos and everybody says to just “simplify the body into shapes” but nobody went into the detail of what the shapes actually were. The drawing and the voice over each helped get it simplified into something very easily understandable

    I'm a 72 yr old grandmother who is making a book for my grandchildren - 1 yr old twins and their 4 yr old brother. My drawings were so primitive and flat. I watched a number of videos and really enjoyed this one. You have a postive encouraging way of teaching, making it feel so doable. Thank you! I'll look for more from you.

    Tbh, you're the only one who got me into drawing. I thought anatomy was hard because all people said was to 'simplify it into shapes' when I didn't even know the shapes that I was going to draw. This video truly helped me a lot.

    This was the one of the best tutorials out of these pile of videos on ytube. Everyone just telling "use shapes" but they didnt show how to... And there's you telling and showing every detail... I can simply say I practice with you while u're drawing. I couldn't draw bodies like that, but I CAN NOW! Huge thanks, lots of love! 💕

Thank you so much!

    I feel like this is very beginner friendly because you ACTUALLY explain what's happening. its also helpful because it makes it so if the viewer wants to draw a body but doesn't completely like this style, they can still change it up a bit for their own liking.

    Girl, I near burst into tears at 1:34 when you notated that line across the chest adding that it does nothing and you don't know why you added it! XD That's gotta be the most mysterious contour in figure drawing to me! Know one ever says specifically what it is or what is highlights. Even I draw it at this point after all the tutorials and I still can't give you a straight answer.
    Honestly though, sometimes I think putting a line across the upper torso CAN be a great way to sort of plot out where maybe the base of the pectoral muscles are. I feel like that's where it's closest to a lot of the time.
    And thank you so much for the tutorials. They are so helpful!

It’s a bit more “normal” and understandable for me this way rather than using really formal anatomy terms that I don’t know anyway. The tutorial itself is also really helpful and easy to draw along with!

I have been a traditional artist my whole life but have started trying to transition to digital art back in 2016-2017 and all this years I've self-deprecated my efforts because I was doing this. Tracing of any kind is always talked down upon regardless if it's for learning purposes. I always tried telling myself, "as long as I credit the source, I should be okay, especially because I am still learning." But telling yourself isn't always enough. So hearing you say this has REALLY helped encourage me into pushing forward. Thank you so much! 😊🤍

    THIS HELPED SM THANK YOU!!! i love how you only used a few simple shapes which makes it easier instead of using multiple shapes to make your body! this was very beginner friendly and helped a lot! (I’ve been drawing for a long time and I suck at anatomy)

    8/10, easy to understand and simple things to remember. I don’t like having to learn a bunch of different stuff, so this is basic steps and tips that I can understand. Very enjoyable!

    This video is amazing! I've been learning how to draw people recently because it just seems like such an interesting thing to draw. I love how you include a lot of proportions in this video too, it really helped me get drawings to look right! I love your art style too, keep up the great work :)
