I would also recommend lifting weights, or really any exercise routine that works the muscles. After a few months, you really start to understand muscles really in-depth, just by the nature that you used it yourself. Like the back has a lot of muscle groups and tends to be very hard for lots of artists, but as you start working them out with isolation exercises you really get a feel for it. So if you are really struggling in the memorization phase and how it works I suggest starting lifting. Also, it is good for your health.
Very true, I’ve been trying to create a new me and since I started working out a few months ago I realized oh this muscle does this when you do this or just understanding the movement and the function of muscle groups, so hopefully while I’m in high school I can do school and barely pass with good grades and study from my own body and learn hands on and learn bones muscles and gestures, my biggest problem is perspective but I will try my best and so should you
Totally agree, started Olympic weightlifting 2 years ago and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Not only it makes you aware of muscles, it also allows you to see body diversity between beginner and expert lifters, and different sports, and how muscles change depending on usage.
My brother was a comic artist and I really appreciate how much education is necessary after watching this video. Sometimes I wonder if there are people just naturally (or supernaturally) gifted at this.

Long term it will matter to you. Level 0 is "knowing you are crap and being smart enough to know where to find advice to get better" If you draw stick figures and can place boxes and rectangles of meat on it, you are qualified to draw videogame characters from the 1970's lol

Guys don't stress it out I reached level 8 in a year and a half. I didn't start with books or anything. I was just drawing looking from pictures. After a couple months I started watching yt videos. I started with the head then the hands and then the feet. After I was consistent with drawing them. Yes I finally started body anatomy. BUT! I wasn't focused on remembering the names of the muscles. Why would you need to know em anyway. I was just trying to draw a body from my imagination. That's what helped me the most. I was practicing almost everyday and watching videos and trying to memorize what the body looks like from multiple angles. Once you get that understanding you'll be able to draw even more angles just from imagination.

I think he is just keeping it out of the video so he gets more views (which is reasonable) and doesn’t draw people away from his video. TH-cam allows it for educational purposes.
...Because there are always those creeps lurking around who have to ruin the education for everyone else. Also, some people are just uncomfortable with it.
TH-cam is weird; it allows animal cruelty like “Dancing Live Squid Mukbangs” where the Mukbang TH-camr rips live squids in half and dip them in hot sauce and soy sauce while they’re still alive, yet something as trivial as a one-second clip of a song could put a video down.
Finally someone made this! I've always been at a loss for the words to ask the question, what is the best way to STUDY since learning how to draw one thing is fine and dandy, but to learn how to continuously improve is priceless. You're awesome and I appreciate you taking the time to create this
mr. ergojosh, sir! you don’t even know how coincidentally perfect you posting this today is! i’ve been watching anatomy videos all freakin day and i literally just saw this after almost giving up. yet as one of the only artists i subscribe to on youtube, there you are with exactly what i’ve been wanting, im so thankful ugh, i’m digging right into this!
I really want to thank you for being so transparent in the documentation of your art journey. Before the idea of being an online artist existed I always wanted to be a concept artist but I ended up going into graphic design field, which at the time was more lucrative where I'm from. I never gave up on being an artist though but I feel like I stagnated along the way. Watching your videos has made me feel like I should breathe and take a step back to the basics.
Force yourself to draw different body types but then don't train backgrounds, robots, plants, animals, guro, furry, yaio, pop art, etc. Damn publicity!
this is like my millionth time trying to force myself to practice drawing bodies, ive mastered portraits and gotten so comfortable its like every time i draw a wonky body i quit and want to die and just not pursue anything ever lmao so thank you for this bc its actually inspiring me to do better
@@visionarycomics4230 i just associate peter griffin with memes whenever i see him which is why it was hard to take you seriously lol. i expected you to make a joke or something cuz thats what people with memey profile pictures usually do, and i read through your comment multiple times to see if you made a joke that i missed or something lol
As a level 5 I would say Proko's free anatomy course was very helpful for me to reach here. Muscle and bone names and interactions and the main terms body parts in detail were REALLY useful for free course, soo I would recommend that👌🏻
oh my god, idk why i never watched this video despite watching nearly all of ur videos abt anatomy….ive been skipping this vid for months AND IDK WHY but thank god i finally watched this, this is just what i needed! i was having my daily crisis of not knowing what to do next, cuz im just all over the place-learning the shapes, skeleton, muscles, just switching in between when im tired of one subject-and ik learning like this will put me in this stagnant position cuz how can i learn these three at the same time and expect to understand them when i have multiple gaps of knowledge about each of them … so yeh, thanks so much for this video! got rlly motivated again

A lot of my art was self-taught with books and whatnot because internet was not really the best growing up. Now there's a lot of reference to find online and the like. I appreciate this video even though I've been drawing for a while because it did give a different perspective on how to do things. I'm always learning new things anyhow and watching videos and reading books have helped. I also started with tracing when I was younger, and people say it's not good to trace, but you're not wrong, it does work to start. Just make sure you don't take credit for art that you trace or use reference, give credit to the original creator. :) But thank you again for this video, I hope that it helps many others who want to join the world of creating art.
@@DNOTSoGoodArtist that’s what copy art does to you, you train your brain to get better at the lines, the best thing to do when doing copy art is to copy the simple shapes you see instead of the lines but it’s still very hard to do
RIP Master Kim Jung GI. I have to say, I'd rate him as the sole 10 in drawing anything. There's no one else, past or present, that can do what he did. No reference, no construction or sketching, no erasing or changes, freehanding multiple curvilinear perspectives in a single art piece, any subject matter, and doing all this in a giant collage mural in a single pass.
Actually useful info. With some hard truths. Genuinely, I appreciate it. The very idea of stage two, as a completely self-taught artist, is a game changer for me. Thanks for this.
4:50 I dunno why, but a lot of twitter artists, most of the art community nowadays, seem to scoff at the idea of tracing a reference to study it. I had to trace a model's legs just so I could understand how it looks on paper and then I tried to copy it as best I could. I wasn't good at it, but it taught me more than doing it purely free-hand.
they mainly argue that it doesnt help you learn how to get better at art, even tho as we can see that doesnt make since because tracing literally helped you learn anatomy better.
i have been drawing the musculoskeletal system on images for the past 14 days and it really is an improvement . it works . i can draw figures so easily now . also dont expect to get the same results on that short time like me cuz believe it or not I've been through med school for 10 years. but since my day to day work does not require me to know every single muscle and bone in the human body, i kind of allowed laziness to get the better of me and let my self get rusty . so i'm familiar with some things already like the terms. my point is. go for it it really works... learn and then practice .
This video oddly made me feel simultaneously frustrated, inspired, sad, and motivated all at once. I’m really glad I watched this video. It’s really an eye-opener for me. I have a long way to go but I’m willing to put in the time and effort!
@@Bakatacintoki unfortunately I had to change it because my professor saw that I was using a "weird cartoon character" name and profile 🤣🤣 but glad to see another person of culture here!
i decided to first get the hand of skulls and the proportions of facial features and eventually i'll work my way through the body. but stumbling across this video kickstarted my motivation - tysm!! :))))
omg i have been so crap with getting any motivation to draw today so i see this from my youtube addiction that has been going on for hours lol of random crap videos and i clicked so fast thanks ergo your videos are always so much help to me and you're also a very big inspiration for me thanks for being so awesome and stay safe!!!
It's videos like these that always inspire me to keep practicing my art skills, saying that its okay to practice by tracing, looks and draws and all of that. It's a real motivator, me being between lv 4 and 5, these tips and pointers are really great for showing what I could/should be doing.
Idk if you've ever considered making your own art courses, but I think you'd be a great teacher. You have a clear voice and a very good way at simplifying things and getting people to understand what you're saying.
I can't begin to recommend Proko's premium courses enough. The extra examples and more in-depth videos and assignments really help you focus your practice time.
I love art and over the years I have it up because I was told it wouldn’t earn me a living. I’m coming back to it and this is just what I needed after 30 years
Day 1 of my doctorate we started memorizing anatomy and dissecting cadavers. 4 hours a day of study followed by 4 hours of dissection for 2 months. It was the most useful class I've ever taken. Not only do I still use all of that information for my job, but I can clearly tell the difference in my art before and after taking Gross Anatomy.
Best source material is real life. I used to model in front of a mirror to visualize the pose I want and it helped me get insane results when I was just starting out.
I know this is like a week late, but I found the PDF of the book on a website called ZLibrary, I've gotten a few of my college textbooks from there too. But even then, I recommend making a burner email just in case cause you do have to sign up to download stuff. Also, you might have to use Tor Browser, I'm not sure if you have to, but I did those two things just in case.
I like how you made this different than others I have seen with skill levels, plus good tips to improve. I think there is a time we draw bad, good , and back to "bad". It just shows your capacity has increased to be able to be/become better! For anyone getting discouraged or feels there is a huge gap, just remember to keep drawing what you enjoy. You can always implement these things as your journey furthers.
See, I'm actually really happy to see that I'm only at level 2. Even though I have so much more to go and I'm not that skilled at all, I still have SO much to learn and that only gives way to more improvement over the years! Really excited to see where I go, even if it isn't that far.
thank you for putting this together! I'm just starting to learn anatomy but I didn't know what to do first. I tried learning from figure drawing, stopped, then the head anatomy, then stopped again. Personally it was super frustrating because it feels like I have no direction in what I'm doing and nothing is improving. Gonna try to familiar myself with learning the actual muscles and bones first and see how that works for me!
Off topic but I really wish I had friends that were also artists Ok but fr now, if you wanna draw muscles/muscly people one thing that I did when learning about that was dividing the body in two (upper and lower part) and loosely drawing very simple poses from reference (e.g.: arms to the side, raised arms,etc) and then simplifying all the muscles into shapes, these types of sketches really helped me to get an overall idea of where the muscles go without having to actually study them in depth. (This can be especially helpful if you have photographic memory like me)
@@lauracaldascarvalho it gets better with trying :) i used to be very antisocial, and i found my first art friend in a summer job, one year before college :) from there it kinda snowballed. Surrounding yourself with art related community ( it doesn't have to be university, any art community that interests you will do :D ) makes it much more likely to find art related people you'll like :D
this is probably one of the most helpful anatomy videos i've seen. i struggle a lot with knowing What to study, and without structure it's so difficult actually getting things done and knowing where i stand in regards to skill. this helped a lot cause it's like a loose curriculum i can use to check my progress and know where to put my effort at any given time. thanks josh!
This is hands down *the* best educational anatomy video I've seen on the internet, thus far. By now, I'll be taking my studies far more seriously. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, so much. I'll be recommending this video to anyone who asks for any tips, because you've laid down everything perfectly and clearly. Cheers!!
I'm self taught also. I used muscle magazines to learn anatomy. I've also studied animal anatomy. Once you've learned the bones and muscles, you can draw it in any position. It takes a lot of time and patience.
Manga Materials is like the best thing ever. I've been drawing for years now, especially in an anime style, but I've never been happy with my tube arm and tube legs. I wanted to be the illustrator who was really good at anatomy and you can really see the different bumps and that they clearly know their stuff. Manga Materials has helped so much because I'm finally getting better at the planes of the face, and understanding the bones and muscles. Like, I'm ACTUALLY understanding the lattsimus dorci, trapezius, and all the 'big words' that seemed super scary at first. I'm still not sure yet how to apply this knowledge, but It feels like I'm definitely going up a level :D. I also totally agree with "Anatomy for Sculptors" as well and I'm trying to take 3D skeleton models and draw the different muscle groups on-top so I really practice where everything is. I've always believed, like you have to walk before you can run, that it's better to learn accurate anatomy first before trying to simplify. Even the most cartoony Ted Avery thing is based on accurate anatomy with stuff just taken out or simplified. As challenging as it is, it's better to get learn accurate anatomy first because then you can bend or break those 'rules' As far as books go for a Level 1/2-ish person, I've gotten loads of use out of "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention". That was the first book that really helped me get me to understand anatomy and I absolutely recommend it.
Lately i´ve been struggling to know what to do and which direction to take with my art, now i know that for this year (and maybe the next four) i will focus on my anatomy. This is what i needed, THANK YOU! :D
Hahaha me seeing that I’m only at level 2🥲 My teachers kinda sped through these concepts and failed you when you didn’t catch on in seconds😩 thank you for breaking it down☺️
The clearest, most concise guide on how to get over that early learning hump. I've drawn my whole life, but have struggled to get to the next level. This has really helped me get a plan together for attaining my goals. Thank you!
thank you for letting me know my art school was worth the time. Its very entertaining how much you say about anatomy and then use almost non of that when drawing. 3 and a half year and you are not past the shape stage. At school when starting to draw bodies (around end of second year) we go past using basic shapes in 2 weeks some maybe month. At this stage we have draw bones and skeletons (hard shapes) now it was just the matter to add muscles (soft shapes). To successfully and anatomically draw a body you have to understand skeletal structure, anchor points, joints. This also help when drawing faces. What you do is making shells/dolls. But dont let me stop you i love cartoons and anime.
I'm okay at drawing individual body parts but the overall body proportions are what I'm struggling with the most no matter how much figure and gesture drawing I do. Guess I should focus on simplifying everything a lot more and solely focus on the proportions for a while. Edit: Also, seeing those numbers next to your sketches might be the answer I'm looking for lol
In my high school anatomy class we went to the gym on campus and used the machines to see how muscles flexed and worked together. I think doing something like this would be really valuable for an artist!
This was helpful while being equally confusing for me. I guess I was looking for this to be/showcase the actual steps and how/what to be practicing at each respective level, and level 2-3 seemed to be one that really did this for me but others was mere discussion on what being at that level looks like. For example, level 1 is pretty much going to sources to learn anatomy but...if I can be frank, isn't that why we came here in the first place? It was like to reach level 2 you simply only needed to buy/obtain all the materials or courses...? While this was good knowledge. Its seems more HOW to gauge where you're at per a level system versus how/what to practice in each level system. That was most apparent to me when going through the comments. It came off more as a pre-course breakdown that never really gets to the course. I suppose it gives me a place to start, picking up books and looking up anatomy elsewhere and I'll return to this video after practicing to gauge where I'm at. Thanks all the same for the upload.
Yeah I feel the same way. I’ve just recently started wanting to learn anatomy, but I can’t even find good starting places that helps me because it’s all locked behind a pay wall. It’s really sad that all the stuff for step one was basically just “buy this book, here’s some other courses” and it’s really hard being some child who doesn’t have a job, but wants to look into art, and just being told “haha you have to buy everything.” Honestly the only free thing I can really do right now is the Proko courses, and tracing over photos. I’m really discouraged because I feel like I’ll never get an actually good grasp on anatomy until I ask my parents for stuff.
@@flimsyflame1251 completely understandable. But I would say don't get discouraged. I find that the big thing one is really working on in art is learning how it view it. The difference between viewing it as a simple consumer versus a creator. One starts to look at art as a puzzle, to see it's pieces, learn how to manipulate and shape them as you want and thus in it's own way, that is learning the anatomy of things. (While not officially knowing it). So chin up, keep drawing. The big thing is noting that one understands how the art comes together into the final product most see.
I found this video to be more motivating than all the other How-To-Videos that flood TH-cam. Some people essentially say "practice a lot". Ok, yes, I know there is no shortcut. Other people give specific tutorials which when I attempt to apply them still look weird. So those make me mostly feel bad. But a comprehensive outlook on what to aim for, I kinda did not see that so far.
You won't believe how on time this video was for me! Thank you so much! 😄 Also, when it comes to the timed gesture drawings, what should we aim for? Are there recommended timeframes based upon the level or is it all the same?
I found this really helpful, and like that you have specific things you recommend/reference in the video that helped you. I'm just starting my journey into drawing, and I'm super excited!
VERY very very very useful video. I was going through multiple videos not knowing how to start and how to continue afterwards. Thank you so much for the very clear roadmap.

Can confirm, nothing beats the knowledge you get from getting into weightlifting for awhile.
That's how Frank Frazetta does with his works as well. lifting weights is beneficial for artist to know different muscle groups
It will also help prevent you from turning into a hunchback artist! Double Shock!

I don't know if this might help but our teachers told us very early to avoid using pencil and start using ink pens or brushes for sketching.
Because pencils tend to create messy drawing at the starts while pens forced us to analyse what we see and make it more final.
Then going back to pencils feels more acurate and precise.
I don't know if this works for everyone but it helped me improve a lot ^^
Good luck on you Art Journey fellas

Honestly drawing over pictures has helped me see anatomy shapes so much. It's made a huge difference so thank you!! I do a draw over then erase and sketch out free hand and it's leveled me up fast.
I’ve Always wondered why nude models are such a taboo. So much so that TH-cam doesn’t allow it for the sake of it being educational.
right?? Its not like we do not see other people naked during our whole life hahaha
I think he is just keeping it out of the video so he gets more views (which is reasonable) and doesn’t draw people away from his video. TH-cam allows it for educational purposes.
Just watch nude yoga on TH-cam
...Because there are always those creeps lurking around who have to ruin the education for everyone else. Also, some people are just uncomfortable with it.
TH-cam is weird; it allows animal cruelty like “Dancing Live Squid Mukbangs” where the Mukbang TH-camr rips live squids in half and dip them in hot sauce and soy sauce while they’re still alive, yet something as trivial as a one-second clip of a song could put a video down.
Finally someone made this! I've always been at a loss for the words to ask the question, what is the best way to STUDY since learning how to draw one thing is fine and dandy, but to learn how to continuously improve is priceless. You're awesome and I appreciate you taking the time to create this
MoV hu
mr. ergojosh, sir! you don’t even know how coincidentally perfect you posting this today is! i’ve been watching anatomy videos all freakin day and i literally just saw this after almost giving up. yet as one of the only artists i subscribe to on youtube, there you are with exactly what i’ve been wanting, im so thankful ugh, i’m digging right into this!
Fantastic. Definitely saving this to my art tutorials playlist. I've been trying to think about this very thing and it's been overwhelming.
14:36 when your anatomy is so accurate that you actually have to censor it. Great video!
Lol 😆🤣
I really want to thank you for being so transparent in the documentation of your art journey. Before the idea of being an online artist existed I always wanted to be a concept artist but I ended up going into graphic design field, which at the time was more lucrative where I'm from. I never gave up on being an artist though but I feel like I stagnated along the way. Watching your videos has made me feel like I should breathe and take a step back to the basics.
guys u need to train with different types of body too, fat skinny strong... dont let the publicity and pinterest make you dra only one thing forever
PLEASE! So many artists need to hear this! I started diversifying the body types I draw just recently- it’s a fun learning experience!
This is good advice in general, draw different things! Some people can only draw faces
And others can't draw shit without copying a picture of Naruto
Force yourself to draw different body types but then don't train backgrounds, robots, plants, animals, guro, furry, yaio, pop art, etc. Damn publicity!

this is like my millionth time trying to force myself to practice drawing bodies, ive mastered portraits and gotten so comfortable its like every time i draw a wonky body i quit and want to die and just not pursue anything ever lmao so thank you for this bc its actually inspiring me to do better
If anyone is interested in more idealized anatomy, I recommend the book "Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy" by Christopher Hart.

@@astrowyrm6871 That's fine. I still really recommend the book it's a good read
@@visionarycomics4230 i definitely need practice with anatomy so i most likely will when i get the chance, thx for the recommendation!
"memorize the names of the bones and muscles"
"label these on skeleton and muscle diagrams"
As a pre med student, I got war flashbacks.
Well, only surface muscles matter, so it is much easier than med classes.
As a level 5 I would say Proko's free anatomy course was very helpful for me to reach here. Muscle and bone names and interactions and the main terms body parts in detail were REALLY useful for free course, soo I would recommend that👌🏻
how many years did it took you to learn?
thanks for the information it'll be very helpful
Where can I buy his course pls
oh my god, idk why i never watched this video despite watching nearly all of ur videos abt anatomy….ive been skipping this vid for months AND IDK WHY but thank god i finally watched this, this is just what i needed! i was having my daily crisis of not knowing what to do next, cuz im just all over the place-learning the shapes, skeleton, muscles, just switching in between when im tired of one subject-and ik learning like this will put me in this stagnant position cuz how can i learn these three at the same time and expect to understand them when i have multiple gaps of knowledge about each of them …
so yeh, thanks so much for this video! got rlly motivated again

Fav ref sites are: sketchdaily and line of action they do more specific references which i like
I think I’m at level two?!
And the site I use the most is “line of action” its pretty nice for some casual studies:)
I think I'm at level 4..?
My question is, What level do you need to be to make a living from this?
A lot of my art was self-taught with books and whatnot because internet was not really the best growing up. Now there's a lot of reference to find online and the like. I appreciate this video even though I've been drawing for a while because it did give a different perspective on how to do things. I'm always learning new things anyhow and watching videos and reading books have helped. I also started with tracing when I was younger, and people say it's not good to trace, but you're not wrong, it does work to start. Just make sure you don't take credit for art that you trace or use reference, give credit to the original creator. :) But thank you again for this video, I hope that it helps many others who want to join the world of creating art.
Planning to create my own anime characters for a long time now for my drawing channel. THIS is just what I needed..
Same here
Igor an ok understanding of anatomy but I never studied it seriously
@@S4LTY33 I do also have a little bit of understanding in it but most of the times I'm just guessing specially the proportions 😁
@@DNOTSoGoodArtist that’s what copy art does to you, you train your brain to get better at the lines, the best thing to do when doing copy art is to copy the simple shapes you see instead of the lines but it’s still very hard to do
@@DNOTSoGoodArtist I need a site where I can learn all of the anatomy online, right now I’m using Pinterest and proko
RIP Master Kim Jung GI. I have to say, I'd rate him as the sole 10 in drawing anything. There's no one else, past or present, that can do what he did. No reference, no construction or sketching, no erasing or changes, freehanding multiple curvilinear perspectives in a single art piece, any subject matter, and doing all this in a giant collage mural in a single pass.
glory to the chinese communist party
Watching this makes me re-realize how much skill I lack.
Now excuse me whilst I find a corner to cry in (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Everyone sucked at some point. Unless you're getting paid everyone is on the spectrum. Just draw. Don't compare. Copy. Don't stress. Good luck.
same...just when I thought I have some progress in drawing....now I am back in my hole of 0 knowledge and skill... :(
You are smarter now.
Better find a corner and start sketching lol
If that’s your art in your pfp you’re not lacking nearly as much skill as you think!! Your art looks great:)
Constructional anatomy by George Bridgeman really helps with drawing anatomy, especially in perspective
I really respect you for genuinely recommending the best sources of knowledge present on the internet.
It will never be an Ergojosh video without the soft soothing voice of his talking hand
Actually useful info. With some hard truths. Genuinely, I appreciate it. The very idea of stage two, as a completely self-taught artist, is a game changer for me. Thanks for this.
why does he always post the second i'm like "wtf when did i forget my skill"
4:50 I dunno why, but a lot of twitter artists, most of the art community nowadays, seem to scoff at the idea of tracing a reference to study it. I had to trace a model's legs just so I could understand how it looks on paper and then I tried to copy it as best I could. I wasn't good at it, but it taught me more than doing it purely free-hand.
they mainly argue that it doesnt help you learn how to get better at art, even tho as we can see that doesnt make since because tracing literally helped you learn anatomy better.
i have been drawing the musculoskeletal system on images for the past 14 days and it really is an improvement .
it works . i can draw figures so easily now .
also dont expect to get the same results on that short time like me
cuz believe it or not I've been through med school for 10 years. but since my day to day work does not require me to know every single muscle and bone in the human body, i kind of allowed laziness to get the better of me and let my self get rusty
. so i'm familiar with some things already like the terms.
my point is. go for it it really works... learn and then practice .
I was thinking, for tracing and freehand practice do u have pictures from books? Also I don't really understand how to trace-
@@illustriousme3172 look to a diagram pictures and take a nude model as a reference and trace over it by comparing them

Idk if you've ever considered making your own art courses, but I think you'd be a great teacher. You have a clear voice and a very good way at simplifying things and getting people to understand what you're saying.
I can't begin to recommend Proko's premium courses enough. The extra examples and more in-depth videos and assignments really help you focus your practice time.
I love art and over the years I have it up because I was told it wouldn’t earn me a living.
I’m coming back to it and this is just what I needed after 30 years
Day 1 of my doctorate we started memorizing anatomy and dissecting cadavers. 4 hours a day of study followed by 4 hours of dissection for 2 months. It was the most useful class I've ever taken. Not only do I still use all of that information for my job, but I can clearly tell the difference in my art before and after taking Gross Anatomy.
Best source material is real life. I used to model in front of a mirror to visualize the pose I want and it helped me get insane results when I was just starting out.
Bro i was literally wondering how i would start with anatomy . Thank you so much
"Oh cool, anatomy for sculptors huh? I'll go nab a copy on amazo-OH KAY"
I know this is like a week late, but I found the PDF of the book on a website called ZLibrary, I've gotten a few of my college textbooks from there too. But even then, I recommend making a burner email just in case cause you do have to sign up to download stuff. Also, you might have to use Tor Browser, I'm not sure if you have to, but I did those two things just in case.
it's WELL worth the money. You would spend 10 times the amount getting the same level of education in a classroom.

Ive been struggling with anatomy and this vid really helped me man, Thank you!
I like how you made this different than others I have seen with skill levels, plus good tips to improve. I think there is a time we draw bad, good , and back to "bad". It just shows your capacity has increased to be able to be/become better!
For anyone getting discouraged or feels there is a huge gap, just remember to keep drawing what you enjoy. You can always implement these things as your journey furthers.
See, I'm actually really happy to see that I'm only at level 2. Even though I have so much more to go and I'm not that skilled at all, I still have SO much to learn and that only gives way to more improvement over the years! Really excited to see where I go, even if it isn't that far.
thank you for putting this together! I'm just starting to learn anatomy but I didn't know what to do first. I tried learning from figure drawing, stopped, then the head anatomy, then stopped again. Personally it was super frustrating because it feels like I have no direction in what I'm doing and nothing is improving. Gonna try to familiar myself with learning the actual muscles and bones first and see how that works for me!
Off topic but I really wish I had friends that were also artists
Ok but fr now, if you wanna draw muscles/muscly people one thing that I did when learning about that was dividing the body in two (upper and lower part) and loosely drawing very simple poses from reference (e.g.: arms to the side, raised arms,etc) and then simplifying all the muscles into shapes, these types of sketches really helped me to get an overall idea of where the muscles go without having to actually study them in depth.
(This can be especially helpful if you have photographic memory like me)
talk to people in art groups, go to collage (if you can) or just ask someone to be your art friend, possibilities are endless :)
be my friend
@@piotrkrauze2208 I’m not the best at making friends, specially because of how shy I am, but thanks for the advices!
@@lauracaldascarvalho it gets better with trying :) i used to be very antisocial, and i found my first art friend in a summer job, one year before college :) from there it kinda snowballed. Surrounding yourself with art related community ( it doesn't have to be university, any art community that interests you will do :D ) makes it much more likely to find art related people you'll like :D
this is probably one of the most helpful anatomy videos i've seen. i struggle a lot with knowing What to study, and without structure it's so difficult actually getting things done and knowing where i stand in regards to skill. this helped a lot cause it's like a loose curriculum i can use to check my progress and know where to put my effort at any given time. thanks josh!
I also highly recomment *"figure drawing design and invention"* book. It covers important subjects such as gesture, anatomy, landmarks ect.
This is hands down *the* best educational anatomy video I've seen on the internet, thus far.
By now, I'll be taking my studies far more seriously. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, so much. I'll be recommending this video to anyone who asks for any tips, because you've laid down everything perfectly and clearly. Cheers!!
You posted this video when I just decided to start a career in art. Very nice brudah 👍🏾
Talk about timing
I'm self taught also. I used muscle magazines to learn anatomy. I've also studied animal anatomy. Once you've learned the bones and muscles, you can draw it in any position. It takes a lot of time and patience.
Manga Materials is like the best thing ever. I've been drawing for years now, especially in an anime style, but I've never been happy with my tube arm and tube legs. I wanted to be the illustrator who was really good at anatomy and you can really see the different bumps and that they clearly know their stuff. Manga Materials has helped so much because I'm finally getting better at the planes of the face, and understanding the bones and muscles. Like, I'm ACTUALLY understanding the lattsimus dorci, trapezius, and all the 'big words' that seemed super scary at first. I'm still not sure yet how to apply this knowledge, but It feels like I'm definitely going up a level :D. I also totally agree with "Anatomy for Sculptors" as well and I'm trying to take 3D skeleton models and draw the different muscle groups on-top so I really practice where everything is.
I've always believed, like you have to walk before you can run, that it's better to learn accurate anatomy first before trying to simplify. Even the most cartoony Ted Avery thing is based on accurate anatomy with stuff just taken out or simplified. As challenging as it is, it's better to get learn accurate anatomy first because then you can bend or break those 'rules'
As far as books go for a Level 1/2-ish person, I've gotten loads of use out of "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention". That was the first book that really helped me get me to understand anatomy and I absolutely recommend it.
this is one of the best educational content I've ever found on TH-cam. It's amazing, so informative, thanks for making this
Sinix Design. He does a series called anatomy quick tips. It's pretty helpful. Thank you for this video. It'll be pretty helpful to me 👍🏾
Lately i´ve been struggling to know what to do and which direction to take with my art, now i know that for this year (and maybe the next four) i will focus on my anatomy.
This is what i needed, THANK YOU! :D
Hahaha me seeing that I’m only at level 2🥲 My teachers kinda sped through these concepts and failed you when you didn’t catch on in seconds😩 thank you for breaking it down☺️

The clearest, most concise guide on how to get over that early learning hump. I've drawn my whole life, but have struggled to get to the next level. This has really helped me get a plan together for attaining my goals. Thank you!
I'll be back one day for this.. definitely... Probably... Eventually
Dude that's actually my favorite video from your channel. Thanks man, thanks a lot for all this valuable intel. :)
I wish your visuals would show the steps you're talking about so we could see what it should look like, and how to do it/practice it.
thank you for letting me know my art school was worth the time.
Its very entertaining how much you say about anatomy and then use almost non of that when drawing.
3 and a half year and you are not past the shape stage. At school when starting to draw bodies (around end of second year) we go past using basic shapes in 2 weeks some maybe month. At this stage we have draw bones and skeletons (hard shapes) now it was just the matter to add muscles (soft shapes). To successfully and anatomically draw a body you have to understand skeletal structure, anchor points, joints. This also help when drawing faces. What you do is making shells/dolls. But dont let me stop you i love cartoons and anime.
I'm okay at drawing individual body parts but the overall body proportions are what I'm struggling with the most no matter how much figure and gesture drawing I do. Guess I should focus on simplifying everything a lot more and solely focus on the proportions for a while.
Edit: Also, seeing those numbers next to your sketches might be the answer I'm looking for lol
In my high school anatomy class we went to the gym on campus and used the machines to see how muscles flexed and worked together. I think doing something like this would be really valuable for an artist!
This was helpful while being equally confusing for me. I guess I was looking for this to be/showcase the actual steps and how/what to be practicing at each respective level, and level 2-3 seemed to be one that really did this for me but others was mere discussion on what being at that level looks like. For example, level 1 is pretty much going to sources to learn anatomy but...if I can be frank, isn't that why we came here in the first place? It was like to reach level 2 you simply only needed to buy/obtain all the materials or courses...? While this was good knowledge. Its seems more HOW to gauge where you're at per a level system versus how/what to practice in each level system. That was most apparent to me when going through the comments. It came off more as a pre-course breakdown that never really gets to the course.
I suppose it gives me a place to start, picking up books and looking up anatomy elsewhere and I'll return to this video after practicing to gauge where I'm at. Thanks all the same for the upload.
Yeah I feel the same way.
I’ve just recently started wanting to learn anatomy, but I can’t even find good starting places that helps me because it’s all locked behind a pay wall. It’s really sad that all the stuff for step one was basically just “buy this book, here’s some other courses” and it’s really hard being some child who doesn’t have a job, but wants to look into art, and just being told “haha you have to buy everything.” Honestly the only free thing I can really do right now is the Proko courses, and tracing over photos. I’m really discouraged because I feel like I’ll never get an actually good grasp on anatomy until I ask my parents for stuff.
@@flimsyflame1251 completely understandable. But I would say don't get discouraged. I find that the big thing one is really working on in art is learning how it view it. The difference between viewing it as a simple consumer versus a creator. One starts to look at art as a puzzle, to see it's pieces, learn how to manipulate and shape them as you want and thus in it's own way, that is learning the anatomy of things. (While not officially knowing it). So chin up, keep drawing. The big thing is noting that one understands how the art comes together into the final product most see.
I found this video to be more motivating than all the other How-To-Videos that flood TH-cam. Some people essentially say "practice a lot". Ok, yes, I know there is no shortcut. Other people give specific tutorials which when I attempt to apply them still look weird. So those make me mostly feel bad.
But a comprehensive outlook on what to aim for, I kinda did not see that so far.
