    Fantastic content and presentation!! Thank you!
    About Latin - I got nowhere with my figurative anatomy until I got a medical dictionary (pre internet) and translated everything into English. Take the time once and you've got it. Now I can remember the Latin and the English and it all makes sense.

    Your expressions are silly but they illustrate your points very well. Faces are weird!

    the facial muscles are THIN.
    it's the subcutaneous layer (sitting on the facial muscles) which has the most influence on surface form.

    P.S. Idea! create a challenge for your subscribers to rename the Latin names of things with something relatable. After listening to you talk about all the Latin names, I’m thinking why are we using those? We have nicknames for pretty much everything these days. Why not do a Hale sort of thing and have listeners come up with relatable names for the parts! ❤

    Woah first time i hear of fat pads! Quite the insightful video. Thanks for sharing!

      Yeah I was also surprised at how little I’d heard about these fat pads when they are so incredibly useful for portraiture even in younger people where they are more subtle.

    I wish the muscles had normal non latin names

      You don’t have to remember their names, rather remember their placement and shapes. You’re not a doctor at the end of the day

      @@donni7887 i know i know, but it would be easter doing art guidance with coworkers.
      Also, it would be easier for the doctors.

    I would argue that obicularis oculi and Oris and their underlying skull structures are one of the most(if not the most) important aspects of portraiture, particularly in sculpting. The nasojugal groove took me quite a bit of study to work out. And of course, most beginners underestimate the roundness and facial depth of the maxilla and usually put Mr. Potato head lips on the flat. 😁

    The reason the fat pads don't have classical Latin names is because they have been invented by American plastic surgeons. Easier to discuss outcomes with middle age housewives. 😂 There is a section on fat pads in the book 'Anatomy for Sculptors', but yes, it's a much overlooked artistic anatomy aspect.

    very clear explanation thank you

  • @Anton_G_604
    @Anton_G_604 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Latin names are not complicated at all. They simply describe the action of a muscle. "Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi" literally translates to "Raiser of the Upper Lip and the Wings of the Nose". Same goes for every other muscle name in the body. Once you understand that, everything becomes much easier. You should look into it as an instructor.

    Love your videos! One thing for you personally, when you talked about the face changing as you age being pulled down by gravity, and the inevitable march of time… Our face gets pulled down because of our thoughts not because we get older. You can see in those well-worn faces the thoughts they’ve been thinking all this time. There are people who are older in years, who have bright, cheerful faces. Just something to think about. Do yourself a favor and don’t accept our cultural beliefs about aging. They are “true” only because we believe them. ❤
