I've just been sculpting a muscular arm in 3D, this is a timely video to pop up in my subscriptions. This is just as applicable to what I'm doing as it is to drawing. =) Btw isn't it fascinating that we've got these very purposeful series of muscles to perform each movement, but our notion of controlling them is completely divorced from understanding they are there. You're talking about what each muscle does, and I'm like "thankfully I know this on some subconscious level, cause I've literally never considered how I'm able to rotate my forearm before". =P
Ikr, when I read the complications of the hand and how everything interlocks, I thought to myself: "I can do that!?" It's crazy how little we understand about ourselves
I had to take notes due to the amount of information, but this is VERY helpful, I haven't found any other videos out there that explain muscle anatomy in so much detail
Bridgeman is probably the hardest figure drawing method but offers the most comprehensive knowledge of how to understand the figure as 3d forms. Basically, master the bridgemen style and you can draw the figure in absolutely any angle you want, having a FULL understanding of the forms of every single bone and muscle there. Its definitely worth the large learning curve.
2:38 trying to follow really badly here but that jump you take from just simply placing a muscle to drawing the whole arm is crazy, not sure how i'm supposed to process this and learn from it
Love the content, truly. However, as someone pretty new to anatomy I found the bulky, semi-organic forms from your previous Bridgman videos more useful as the complexity is easier to recall from memory, and then to transform into the true organic, more detailed final piece.
However it is difficult to skip these anatomical details to understand the true shape of the body. The best is to study skeletons on sketchfab so you can rotate them in 3d. I am quite sure you can also find an écorché to learn the muscles.
I ordered constructive anatomy by bridgman. Was it a good idea for a beginner to do that. And could someone tell me the best way to study bridgmans books
As a beginner i don't think studying bridgman is a good idea, he tends to exaggerate a lot of muscles, and you kind of have to dissect how to draw that certain muscle. You should probably start, with a figure drawing class. Proko' figure drawing videos is a great start for beginners! Good luck
I wish I never got a full time career. I would much rather have done art all day and eat fruit. I highly recommend NOT entering the workforce. Now of course, the economy will fall apart and society will most likely fail but, sooner or later after all the ashes and dust settle, maybe there will be a pencil and paper left and then, start anew.
I think your teachings are really good, but it isn't necessary for us to see you slowly draw everything in real time. You could speed up the footage or sometimes cut out the part where you draw completely and have the finished building blocks pop-up one by one. Personally I think that would be more digestible. Most art tutorial channels show drawing in real-time and they just drag on for far too long, even though the actual information is pretty simple
How the hell do you know all this stuff? People say to varying degrees of insistance that aspiring artists should learn anatomy, but every time I look it up I get a diagram with a bunch lines pointing to each muscle, and it feels like I'm not learning anything about what they are or how they work. If I look them up invidually, I feel like I'm just reading a list of facts. I never feel like I can or will retain any of this information, but you talk like you went to med school or something.
i said coraco brachialias aloud and now my furniture is floating and theres a shadow person whispering in my corner please help
now that's what I call a funny line... hahahahaha
Underrated
lmao
THIS SERIES IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED IN ART TH-cam
Totally agree!!! One minor complaint though - the carpet music...
@@gnazlis I prefer classical music
LITERALLY.
physical therapist and exercise scientists can stumble upon this and get a nice review too. This is too good
i can feel my brain expanding
man I LOVE YOU! Seriously, you're saving me from a huge crisis trying to understand muscles! Thank you so much!

@@perhaps5095 This is why it is so difficult to create a robot that mimics the human movement. Animals are easier but still difficult.
This series is a must for anyone studying Bridgman! I cannot overstate how helpful these videos have been.
Glad I’ve done bodybuilding for 5 years before picking up art, makes anatomy studies 20x easier, I just need to know when it attaches and I’m good

Michael hampton and bridgman's books were great. Also Bruce lee is a great anatomy reference to study, the guy has almost 0% body fat.

How should I go about learning the Bridgman method?
@@gamerpie15 get the book and read it

he goes more indepth to the remaining lower half of the arm at 10:03
Idk wtf is going on
Dude same 💀

finally understand the forearm muscles, i've never seen them broken down this much in a tutorial, thanks james.
This is the only youtuber that teach us the inner arm... just exactly what im looking for
"Ow, fuck!"
"What's wrong, man?"
"My Coraco-Brachialis is hurting as hell"
Thank you so much. Your and the Proko videos are the best tutorial I've seen.

Thank for the content modern day james it helps alot
Awesome, thanks again James! You're a treasure!
Love this Series! Thanks soooo Much!
I love your artstyle so much
Thank you. I'll do that.
great anatomy, awesome drawing ! thanks man !!!
Another banging video! Very helpful. This Bridgman series is 🔥. Your videos have had an impact on how I approach my pieces.
yes, give me that knowledge!
Damn I didn't know the bones in our arm *twisted* when we put de palm down, that's fucking scary
imagine if a drug cartel cuts that ability to turn by cutting that muscle
I want to thank you for this great video and congratulate for a great soothing music choice too!
Yes.

Wtf👤
this is very helpful thank you
Thank youuu ❤️
Thank you so much
so GOOD keep em coming
this isn't in the bridgman playlist, so you know
Can’t wait to submit my 400 poses but mine are simple very simple
Best video I have seen.good shit
Hi! which drawing tablet using? Are you advise tablet pc for me.
Thank you.
Just a normal person that's watching this at 3 am.
same
Apart from the weird music, this series really has helped a lot.
I really hope that there will be more Bridgeman videos
Great tutorial.
Thank you for it.
Thumbs up!
which book do you recommend to learn anatomy. your drawings are incredible
Great content.. super ! thanks
You should add this one to the Bridgman playlist 💪
Really helpful
Would you recommend me to get the book? I'm not sure if TH-cam tutorials alone are enough to teach me these concepts
I think the book is super helpful!
Is the tricep really bigger than the bicep? 2:38
yup, especially if you only work out your triceps and ignore your biceps
need to have a doctorate in medicine to understand this video
Nice video 🍈 🍊
Really good video! Why would anyone unlike this? Anyway keep it up man great stuff!
The best tutorial ive seen

quality video
Ta chido 😃 👍
You need to change your name to awesome any day James
wonder if you could share the jpg image of your drawings?
You can just take a screenshot of the vid
I wish I knew you earlier
A bit wordy but dangg this is useful
Just now realized bi in bicep
brain is not braining
Now I feel like a medical student @_@
I wish I never got a full time career. I would much rather have done art all day and eat fruit.

Can't get enough attention to video becouse of trying to find acromion
Please subtitled in Spanish
My English is not very good

I'm sorry, is this biology class?
yes, now sit down and take notes otherwise you'll fail your regents exam!
@@moderndayjames Yes Sir!
