8-years late but: Straight to the point video, no sleep-inducing jazz music in the background, just a dense load of information. Love it!
This is what I should have been learning in my art classes -.- man I hate school so much
i assume in your art class they are teaching you to "draw" and not to "illustrate" (what sycra is doing is illustration, but hes using the foundations of drawing while he works)
drawing is a step you cant skip if you want to be an artist. if you start with illustration before drawing, you're going to mess your brain up and its going to give you a hard time really understanding form, light, and space.
i used to hate my drawing class too because my interest was in illustration, but the better you get at drawing the more advanced your illustrations will become, so work on both (and maybe express to your art teacher that you wish to learn more about illustrating?)
Scott Karrasch Well I never remember I had art class at school so, you're pretty much luckier than me at least. They teach us things we don't need -_-
Anatomy is life dud, without it, we'd never exist
with how much anatomy we learn, artists could be doctors.
Doctors do need to know a lot of other things, such as biology and chemistry.
ISSA JOke
it is kinda funny because you can't be an engineer if you dont have some level of drawing ability (at least perspective and contours)
Thats what i was thinking
I know dud, like, bro, maybe I'll end up being a doctor, wtf!
I've been looking at art tutorials for years and honestly, your how-to's are so fucking good, and probably the most helpful ones I've come across. I'm trying to get back into drawing, and over the past couple days I've watched your iterative drawing guide, and how to connect arms/legs to the torso and I just feel so informed instead of just fumbling in an attempt to mimic someone else. Thank you so much for these
Fleabitten I second that comment.. can't stand that Jazza fellow
Your anatomy tutorials are life. I mean really. Every time I watch one and sketch along with you my art get so much better instantly (you know, for like a week till I forget everything)
Even 7 years later your tutorials are still a godsend. Great breakdown!
It's an amazing coincidence how recently, every time I come across an issue in my drawings, Sycra uploads a tutorial on how to solve it. Thanks yet again :D
+metroid4787 He's reading your mind.
xenontesla122
Quite literally, yeah lol
xenontesla122
He'll probably make a tutorial on mind reading too for all we know.
+metroid4787 I could say just the exact same thing. Was practising gesture drawings, and I simply got stuck at that point, in everyone of them, breaking my set time limit. So in frustration and the horrible feeling best compared to a deeply religious man having been abandoned by the gods, I went on youtube and found this. I can live with this.
+metroid4787 same
knowing all the names of these muscles
but then going
"i think this is just called the arm?"
made me chuckle lol
Sycra when I make it big you will make the top of my list in influences. Great tutorials and content.
+Kenneth Stone lmao
+Kenneth Stone Making it "big" in art is like making it "big" in accounting :^)
+Kenneth Stone You fucking go dude, don't stop drawing and chase that dream.
LOL!
+PYORO i dont get it
You have no idea how grateful I am just for your existence THANK YOU
Sycra knows the names of hundreds of bones and muscles, but doesn't know what the forearm is. :^)
lol yeah i was like what the hell
the forearm is a dumpster fire for me
Sycra is like, he is teaching us to draw, right?
But at the same time he's teaching us anatomy and what's that particular part called
Bro, he's so advanced, ik anatomy because of Sycra and Proko, lol
Me to
7 years later and this video is still helping people learn , thanks bro
the best simplified yet effective retelling of these muscles ive ever seen bless you
i think ill end up returning to this in the future like how we still turn to loomis today
Once I thought learning anatomy was only needed for pro artists. And then I wondered why my fiure drawings looked so stiff and unnatural. After I studied anatomy for a while, I've noticed that my figure drawings looked a lot more natural and dynamic. Don't underestimate anatomy lol
Could you do a tutorial/guide on studies. Like how to approach a study, different types of studies (anatomy, textiles, paint), what to pay attention to. and any mental art tips.
Also ideally how long should a study be plus how often you should do them.
Massive fan of your videos, motivates me to work harder and to draw.
It's like
The guy's gone to another level of anatomy already, and he try his best just to break it down as simple as he can to help people understand it, not like a teacher, but an expert, really like it tho
i know its a realllyy old video but i wanted to say thank you for this. stumbling upon these videos from you feels like i found a gold mine or won the lottery. The absolute best tutorials there are other there, i love you
I find that drawing individual parts aren't so bad. Connecting them to each other in a way that looked right was always the difficult part for me, especially with legs to torso and neck to head. These recent videos are really helpful. =)
I want to really thank you for this video! Anatomy is what I'm struggling with right now, and while I watch and enjoy the more advanced topics you make videos about, this is what motivates me to continue learning to draw. Once again, thank you, Sycra!
Of all the online tutorials I have watched dealing with drawing the figure, your tutorials are clearly the most informative and useful. Keep posting your videos!
Sycra, the wise god of drawing tutorials.
26:49 I couldn't help but audibly laugh with how little he cared about the collarbone leaning to one side 😂 I just imagined Sycra being a doctor and telling a patient "you got BROKE collarbone now have a nice day" and standing up and leaving
Thank you, truly, Sycra. You're videos cover all the right things in all the right ways for young artists, especially with how you emphasize fundamentals and their role.
Sycra, stop uploading a video tutorial at the exact same time that we all need it.
It's freaky! XD
Seriously, every time you upload one of these how-to videos, it is just as I needed it most and the comment section implies I am not the only one.
Classic Psychic Sycra
Psychicra.
+Phantomhive super sycra
Classic Super Psychra
+Phantomhive For real though.
I mean don't stop but op much?
Thank you!! I have improved alot on my proportions.
I like how sycra discusses about other muscles even tho it’s titled about the arm muscle, especially with the breast part, really helped me
Thanks for these videos. I feel like knowing how things flow together is much more valuable than simply being able to draw the parts separately.
Another specific drawing tutorial from Sycra, thank u!
I was waiting for this since I watched the one about the legs on Sunday. I actually understand what I'm drawing now. Thanks, +Sycra!
Man, I wish I watched these videos long ago! Very helpful!
Fucking finally
Someone that actually "dumbed down" and explain it in linear yet concise wap instead of other channel that practically just draw random line until it makes do and practically just skill showing rather than giving tutorial.
Not only are you teaching me how to draw correctly, but you're also helping me with anatomy class XD
Fantastic video, Sycra!
Thanks Sycra - Sempai : D
You are the best
most other youtubers does not explain as much as you
I really understood all these concepts ( and I do not even speak English very well )
Please continue making wonderful videos like these !
Best video about this topic on the youtube
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I've struggled with this for years now, and now I'm finally understanding it.
Thx Sycra i really needed thse videos about the connecting of arms and legs to the torso. I fell like i never do them right if i draw them from memorie.
Excellent explanation of connections and connectors. Thank-you, Sycra.👏
OMG! thank you so much sycra I have been having problems with this concept for the past month or so, THANK YOU!!!! :D
sycra does it again
Thank you. Really help me.
Thanks! Could you please do a similar vieo on how to connect FEET and LEGS? Cause no matter what i do, it looks awkward and unnatural as fuck.
+Xandredarium He touched on that subject a bit on his how to draw feet video. :3
+Xandredarium ankel?
This video is so amazing! Right now I'm studying anatomy and perspective. Awesome content!!
Your anatomy stuff is priceless as always! Thanks a lot man! Great job!
You explain better than my art teacher
It the curry that gives Sycra his psychic abilities!
This is beautifull as all jour other tutorials. I gues it would help if you keep one colour per muscle in the separate sketches.
Again, the best I ever saw.
Thanks, Sycra! I had problems with that part of the body but this tutorial explained everything :)
FOR YEARS I WANT THIS KIND OF TUTORIAL.....AND JUST NOW UA-cam RECOMMENDED ME THIS VIDEO.....WTH UA-cam!?
a video on the forearm would be awesome
Thanks for all the amazing tutorials!
I needed this so badly, thank you Sycra. I was thinking when you released the connecting the legs to the torso video that I needed this one, lol. I really appreciate it man =3
Great detailing Sycra. Excellent explanations as always. Thanks m8.............Carl
Hey Sycra, great video, I've done a lot of anatomy study for my digital sculpting but I still find these videos very helpful as a refresher and also just to see how you simplify these shapes in your line work. Just one note though, at about 36:00~ you say that the traps go behind the lats but from all the reference I've studied they are on top.
Incredible content - so helpful for understanding a&p. Thank you x
This guy's got mad striations. He lifts.
I like the color idea ! most enjoyable to watch .
I should take anatomy. I might understand all those names he's talking about. Lol. This helped! Thanks! Keep going!
Will you continue the how to connect serie? Because I have trouble with the knee area. The elbow and the muscular connection between the arms are also interesting.
Thanx, man! Your lessons are very helpful for me, you do a great job telling everything clear and exactly what I need:)
awesome! you're always on track what i need, sycra
it was a great help!
Yes I need this, I'm tired of drawing just a diagonal line to the torso
keep the tutorials coming sycra! can you make a video about dynamic poses and any tips/techniques you use when doing them?
Aaaaah thank you, I've been struggling with this for a really long time now!
That's interesting. I've recently started drawing the ribcage as a box to try and cement the perspective of the drawing before getting to caught up in it.
I usually make the box pretty wide and think of the ribcage as being inside the box; as opposed to being correctly represented by it.
I'm not sure if that counteracts the problem. I guess we'll see.
+Call Me Ishmael That makes sense to me. The only problem I can foresee with that method is that it makes the figure less organic, because a box isn't an organic shape. I'd say that an egg works better, but it would be wise to modify it a bit to include planes. That way you can actually see how it's oriented in space.
I also like the "bean" method. You simplify the whole torso (ribcage through pelvis) into a bean shape. While it's not very great with perspective, it's really easy to twist and turn it around, getting some natural and lively results...
As for me, I combined both the modified ribcage and bean methods into what I call a "one piece swimsuit" method. You take the entire bean, and modify it to include planes. It's fairly representative of the way the torso moves, and it gives you a lot more room for modification.
Just some thoughts, hope this is of use.
thank you! it s really useful to me.
i want to give advice, that was helpful for me. It is hard to imagine all muscle forms in 3d, so i think it's much better using 3d models, like ecorshes from sketchfab. It makes everything much, much clearer.
watched the vid and when i started drawing i instantly forgot all of what you just said
I always draw with Sycra, taking notes and copying helps. You can always look back at your notes if you struggle and you won't have to watch the whole video.
Nice job! Thank you!
Gracias! saludos desde argentina
good tut sycra i lerned a lot wit this
Thanks!!! I learn alot!!!! Thank you :D . Nice video
Great video. Very well explained and informative
Many thanks Syrca!! Now I am better prepared to deal with those pesky scapula.
You should be more appreciated, you are amazing!
I respect you a lot, Thank you for all the videos Sycra
It's very interesting for me, because I study human anatomy actuality for the best undertsand with fondamental human base and your video there are a good explication.
Thank You Very Much ^_^
Muito Obrigado pelas lições !! Estou estudando desenho e assistir suas aulas estão me ajudando muito a complementar meus estudos e avançar mais rapidamente ,continue assim você desenha demais^^
You are AWESOME!
Fantastic explanation, thanks!
I hope this isn't a silly question?? Could this demonstration also be the back of a person, like walking away. I have never drawn but I really want to get a persons back walking away in a personal sense. Thank You so much for an answer soon. I really appreciate it!!
Thanks Sycra, it was helpful!
thanks you a lotttt Mr Sycra........:D:D:D.........I love you!!!......pleeeeeaseeee continue doing these amazingly helpful anatomy videos!!!!!!!: D
this was so amazingly helpful. thank you!
It did help, thank you
"The clavicle and the scapula are buddies, they're always doing stuff together." Aww...
Edit: There's something interesting about the arms, which is that the pivot point in the shoulder girdle area is in the sternum, where the clavicle connects. So when you move your shoulders forward and backwards, up and down, that stays in place and the scapulas move around the ribcage.
By the way, Sycra, the Teres Minor muscle almost never shows up. The main muscles in that "window" formed by the lats, traps and the deltoid are the infra-spinatus (which sits below the spine of the scapula; 'infra' = below) and the teres major (which goes from the bottom tip of the scapula to the top of the humerus, just under the 'ball'/head).
Muy bien explicado. Great explanations.
lol such a coincidence, I was having some trouble with this in my drawings. Thx Sycra!
this is so COOL
OH MY WHAT, INCREDIBLE
I’m like touching my shoulders and like everything he mentions and I freak out when the bone and muscle is actually there LOL I’m also like trying to figure out which muscle connects to what bone and I got a few right hahahah
cool art
❤️ you’re a genius!!
Finally!=) Someone else thinks, that this box thing for representing the rib cage isn't good idea!=/
Hey could you do a video on the just torso in different angles?
+loleirik4000 YES
well i do have a little trobule with the shape of the torso. I am not good at drawing xD
Awesome!!
thank you very much!
'Oh yea, breasts.' -Sycra Yasin
Im watching this tutorial with a broken clavicle, its kinda... funny. I think I broke it right on the portion wich has no muscle, maybe that's the reason it didn't hurt that much. Great teaching skills mate.
