This is an absolutely love tutorial *love* Thank you so much for posting it. I just started my drawing class though was sad to find out we won't be spending much time with life drawing (apparently it's w whole separate class -_-) so this is wonderful!

This is awesome.. haha, I remember the 7 heads thing from art class.
very helpful, awesome!

Not bad, fairly nifty. Still, folks (No, not you Julie) Life drawing classes are your friend! You know more about anatomy than my art proffessor... kinda pathetic when you think of it.

Oh dear, I love it @___@ -prints it out, makes it into a book, wand waddles off to practice-

Honestly. Most of the anatomy tutorials I have seen (and I have seen MANY, on my quest to achieve decent looking drawings) have really "basic" stuff, that may mean something to the actual creator, but really just confused me. This is so clear. The bone structure, the muscle structure, it's all very much needed, and makes a whole lot more sense to me, than anything ever did.

I heart you.

this looks so professional, Julesy. and it'll definitely help me out!

You meant 2-dimensional, not 2-demential, right?
It's a praiseworthy enterprise and you obviously put a lot of work into it, but your own characters suffer from disproportions. It makes it look like you took the info from a book without having a good grounding in it yourself. It'll probably still help people though. Well, good luck onwards!

I do have a figure drawing book that I took some of the technical terms (such as the bones and muscles) from- but what's wrong with that? It's not like I don't know it...

But- yeah, I meant dimensional... it was late. xD;;

Oh, and if I wanted people to read about exact porportions, I would have referred them to an anatomy book... this is to help people draw the human figure at all, it's not for life drawing but for illustration, which exaggerates much of the time.

Nothing wrong with referring from a book at all, my point was you're not fluent in it yourself.
Illustrators only exaggerate when they have mastered correct proportions. Good exaggeration never looks disproportionate. You can't claim you're teaching people "inexact" proportions, that's ludicrous.

Yes, you're right, I'm not an expert in it all, I never claim to be- I'm not a perfect artist, never said I was. Just thought I'd help some friends out and other people that might be interested. *shrug* I don't mean to say I mean to teach inexact porportions no, and I realize my illustrations are not exactly in porportion... but as I said, I'm not an expert in life drawing, but I'm more of a comic artist, even though yes I do realize the need to know realistic life drawing and -exact- porportion is important.
And don't think I'm getting on the defensive, but just because it may not be explained in the most fluid manner in the world, doesn't mean I don't understand it myself. Don't assume you know how I 'grasp' things- you don't know my background in art. As I stated in the very first paragraph of this tutorial, I said I'm not a professional.

And btw, I have read your tutorial and it's very good.... I'm not trying to compete, just doing something that people have asked and what I thought would be helpful- as I have already stated.
