THE HANDS ARE BACK! Did you see a difference between the two drawings?
Also, if you have anything you'd want to see in channel membership videos, let me know!
I could see a lot more confidence in the lines, and more clarity in the pose with the second one, but the 3 points-ish perspective or your first is pretty tough to pull off, I think you still did good tho, I thought it will be like a zombie girl from the gesture in the arms/hand haha.
You’ve got insane gear, are you working at a part time or full time job? How are you combining it with youtube?
What do you have your iPad resting on here at 5:54? I did check your link but couldn't find it
Which tablet is that? Might get one for myself
I hope there's like pointers or something on the side because to be honest, I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I see you drawing, yes. But the information from just the sound of what you're saying plus, again, trying to understand what you're drawing is too much information overload.
Rather than give WHOLE CHUNK of "The EASIEST way to start Learning to Draw Anatomy!", it would be a lot better if you do like "The EASIEST way to start Learning to Draw Anatomy: BODY" or something like that if you won't chop up the segments of what you want to show.
All I understood from this video is try copy other's work to learn anatomy. If that's not what you want to express in this video, there you go. I didn't really understand a thing for both what you said and what you want to say.
Also, this is not an attack but criticism. Take it to the head, not the heart. Peace.
Oohhh this is what I actually do, I just get a reference, trace it, them move it to the side and make my own sketch from the traced one and then I repeat it until I got my muscle memory and my anatomy somewhat okay by free hand, I'm really happy you're addressing this to everyone for inspiration✨
I've done the same alternating practice before! It can be really intense but gives great results.
I never thought to do this I just trace to understand if I’m confused but don’t reference that trace later when I’m sketching but rather the pic… you’re so right about memory muscle and learning!
I got goosebumps, that's literally me
?
I remembered tracing someone else sketch but it just feels guilty even tho your changing and editing the anatomy.
Right in time for my yearly "Might quit art because I suck now" crisis. But instead of being self destructive I'm going to refresh my skills, and these videos are SUPER helpful.
Good job staying strong! We gotta fight tooth n nail when that shows up. There's a POINT... a milestone or so... when we'll never have to deal with that again. but we have to persevere lolz
Actually, there was a week where my drawings sucked, i mean, they looked better as others if they drew, but not for me, anatomie is bad, poses are good, but if the anatomie is bad, the pose would look also bad.
What i did instead is not drawing again and again to get my perfect result, i just took a 3 days break, and it helped really. My drawings impoved that much i couldnt believe I drew something like this.
Sometimes you have to take a break that your brain can train.
me just every month:
I really need to get down with this.
IDEAS
Draw yourself a profile picture… I’ll be back once I drew mine
I took the bruteforce method. I bought anatomy for sculptor (excellent book) and I'm just learning every single muscles (where it start, which bone it connects too, etc) with very few simplification. It already has helped me tremendously. Before I tried to redo a line because I saw it in a drawing, but when you don't understand the 3D shape behind the line, you will put it in the wrong place if your figure is slightly different, it's also harder to learn (It's like learning a word on its own versus learning what a word mean in a sentence, your brain makes connexions that will help you remember it much more easily).
Also one good thing that helped me (I'm still in the early stage of memorization, but I've covered all the upper body) is sculpting it in 3D with a software like ZBrush/Blender. It forces you to understand in 3D what you are doing and if in your mind you can see in 3D, it will look better on a drawing. My drawings since then have already much more "volume". And the additional perk is that you now know how to sculpt.
this is what i was planning to do (with the same book lmao)
How did you learn 3d modeling? Course, book, yt?
Did tiu take any 3D sculpting courses to help you understand anatomy more? If so which ones? I'd greatly appreciate it 🙏🏽
I was first a bit afraid coz the only thing I could show to my art teacher was 3d works I had done (mostly characters). I think they made good impression and I went on saying that I don't have much if any 2D drawing documented.
But to my surprise that was fine for him and said that I will learn it too.
@@blackcitadel37 Probably self taught, if you're sculpting though you just have to learn the Navigtion and what the sculpt brushes do then just insert your own knowledge of Anatomy to get the correct shape.
*cries in traditional artist*
iPads have really gone down in price recently, like 250 dollars USD. I'm in no way saying that's cheap, but also, there are some off brand apple pencils that have some great reviews! I hope this helps!
Do it a traditional way. Get a light box and a print out a reference.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor You dont have to do that tbh, when I was broke broke I would just look at drawings online and it helps your hand eye coordination a lot which you need in the future for other life things
Dude shut up?? Just find a trad art tut it’s not hard. Be quiet
@@keepyourshoesathedoorbut i dont have an light box
I think my biggest problem (besides basic anatomy) is not knowing how to simplify and I know that’s a huge part of drawing/painting. Thank you so much for all of your tips! I’ll definitely keep them in mind.
Ur pfp🙏
It is very useful to copy and trace poses! A lot of artists tutorials tells that we can not copy art, but sometimes we do not want to copy art, just learn how tha artist is making such a piece by tracing and understanding.
Also copying a pose is hardly copying the art. While its not a good idea to oversaturate your works with samey images (same pose same expression etc) no pose is 'copyright' so there arent actually reprecussions, just makes your art boring to look at if its the same psoe every time is all
Im actually getting back into drawing after a long time of leaving (half a year or so). I tried to draw some poses this week and I thought it was pretty decent, but when I looked at my old sketches, they were waaaaaay better. I keep reviewing them and I see details that make me go "where did I learn that?!" or "what was I thinking? How did I get that?"
Im trying to get back the knowledge and muscle memory I seem to have lost, it's a bit frustrating because I had something but I let it rust away.
I swear to keep at it this time around. Wish me luck!
Friendly reminder to keep practicing your art. If you're anything like me, then you might have already put it aside again these last few weeks.
Stick with it! 🤍🔥
I also am just coming into art again, I really lost my passion now I'm trying to learn again.
I just suck and I’m trying to get good 🤣
You gave me fear
ow
this hit me on a spiritual level
Really enjoying your channel. I'm in my early 50s and have been a recreational artist for my whole life - but always tended to put it down and take it back up in phases. I just now have gotten around to trying digital art - your work was a big part of that decision, so thank you! Even though I don't have professional aspirations, I wish I had taken it up alot sooner. Your work has been very inspiring nonetheless.
Wholesome
That is awesome to hear, I hope you enjoy your journey with digital!
Good ending
Thats awesome Shane, im happy to hear it
Epic :)
This video is so helpful. I've been thinking about doing anatomy studies and I never thought about extracting from other artists work as a legitimate way to do them. I'm going to give this a shot for a while instead of studying from photos like I usually attempt to do.
Its not really about memory, its just knowing how things work. So for example, you can probably write down an incredibly long list of tasks you do in order to get up in the morning, go to work, etc. It basically ends up like that where you go step by step. You already know the body parts, you just need to start learning to add details & real information to what you do know. That and how to start thinking step by step (ok theres 3 parts to the leg...foot/leg/thigh...whats inbetween each part? Joints. The ankle and knee. Whats behind the knee? 3 muscles....what are they connected to? The xyz bones...where are those bones connected?) etc.
back when i really struggled with hands i would take pictures of my own in the pose i needed and just trace. i did that for a while and to my endless surprise, i actually got better! which i discovered the one time i couldnt be bothered so i googled a few random refs in different angles and went for it.
looking back, what i gained tracing was familiarity with the form, discovering how i liked to simplify and a less frustrating overall experience, which made me more likely to keep practicing (!)
i think the key is to not only trace the lines, but constantly think about the form, breaking it down the way you did in the video. training your brain to think in 3d on a 2d medium is THE skill an artist should have!
I just wanted to say... your style is nothing like what I'm looking for, not really. (Not saying your art isn't gorgeous because it is) but you just offer the most wonderful advice to get me where I'm trying to go and I appreciate you so so so SO much. I've struggled for years with mental issues that caused me unable to pick up my brand-new (for years) tablet and just DRAW. I was so anxious and overwhelmed and scared so much so that even thinking about drawing put me in tears or even a panic attack even though I wanted to do it so so so much. But between your advice and my favorite artist in the whole world sharing his 'this is how I do it', (as well as finally getting on proper medications) I've just been able to take a huge leap forward. I'm actually drawing and even making pieces that are 100% my work and I can't express how happy that makes me.
I think it is amazing that your sharing your story and I wholeheartedly support you beyond the screen! がまれ!!
You are amazing 🤩 😃💕🎉🎉🎉I’m old enough to be your mom & just started back drawing a few years ago -after NOT drawing for almost 30 years & you’ve taught me so much 🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 especially the fact that we have to practice & draw everyday. . Now I haven’t mastered digital yet -(I do find it fun & interesting) but I love pencil & paper the best -(I’m old school) 😂however, THANKS Josh for the videos & for teaching me so much You’re an awesome Artist!!! Please keep the videos coming!😃💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉
Umm..
With all those emojis you 100% have mom vibes but overall goodluck on your art journey mum
That’s awesome, its nice to see people getting back into old hobbies. I hope you continue to have motivation for your art :D
I wish you were my mommy

*UHHHHH*
This is really cooI technique and I think its effective for me, I've been drawing figures a lot out of my imagination, and I see no improvement. Cause I get pressure when use reference cuz maybe I'm too perfectionist. But practicing figure through tracing then copying is a great idea. I kinda afraid using that technique before cause I thought it was cheating, but now I see a lot of artist using it for practicee..
no such thing as cheating in art, don't even know why people say that lol
The negativity of tracing/copying centers on other "artists" copying/tracing other people's works and then presenting it as their own - stealing and lying.
As a learning tool, copying and tracing another artists work for your own development is one of the smartest things you can do. Its a form of study that forces you to figure out why something works, how something is composed, and introduces you to new techniques.
If it helps, know that many higher level art education curriculums will have their students do "master studies"... essentially many excercises copying and replicating works done by acknowledged artists from now and throughout history, as a way to learn the various elements used. This culminates often in the student producing an original work in the "style" of the master, to show their own growth, mastery, and comphrehension of the techniques used.
Which is more or less, an extended version of the excercise being presented here... just expanded out to cover things like lighting, color theory, brush technique, etc.
It's not cheating - its learning.
I'd say for the most part these studies should remain private, especially if you're pulling modern artists you admire for reference, with the exception being figure studies done off of photos and stating so upfront. Its also quite good to credit the photographer if its available info. Of course, if you're creating your own composition at the end to see what you've learned, that's original and can be freely shared.
As for stressing about references - back with hand animated 2d films, the animators would have film taken of actors playing out various scenes to use as reference. There are countless artwork prints produced with reference made from photos taken. Old and modern mastets alike would hire live people to come into the workshop to pose as reference... there's a reason why the concept of artists having a "muse" exists when those relationships progressed to inspiration.
Remember that reference is not an outline of how a thing should look that you must now recreate in full, but rather an informational guideline. Artists can and will alter and completely change things from their reference all the time to make the pose better, to make the composition stronger, to get a better array of elements across the piece... Thats why its reference and not "replication". Reference is in service to the composition and artist, it does not dictate the artist's choices.
TLDW; bounce between copying and tracing, trace the simple shapes of the anatomy from artists you like.
The living dead walks?
@@Ichigitchyyayadadatoo lazy didn’t watch*
I really enjoyed your process and how your don’t give up. I feel like as artists we have these grand ideas and then get frustrated when something doesn’t look right but it’s because we probably don’t understand the form. I sort of feel weird tracing, but I like how you used it as a reference to break things down and referenced other artists rather than real life photos.
I noticed a huge difference in how your drew the shoulders and chest which was something I saw was off in your first render because I do that too. The chest and pelvis area I struggle with the most, not sure why but I’m trying to get better at it!
You make anatomy look so easy! Thanks for sharing your advice!
I always thought tracing and copying was taboo, that it would make me a 'false artist' as it were.
Thank you for this. This really helps show me that it's okay to do the two because it's studying; it'll help me be a BETTER artist
I'm very glad I watched this video. I used to do this method a lot, but then I stopped doing it. I think it was mostly because artists saying "tracing/copying is bad, it will never help you improve". And I listened to them. I hate how I listen to other artists and think what they are saying is the only right way, and any other way isn't useful and won't help me improve. Now, I'm gonna try and not care about what they say. I'm just gonna do my own thing and have fun. Thank you very much for this video! I'm definitely going to try this out again and see what happens!
I will learn how to draw funny skeletons, and no one will stop me.
That tip at the beginning of trying to draw something from memory to see if you've actually learned it is actually really good. I started drawing certain separate things (eye, nose, mouth, ear, hand) and most of these I was actually surprisingly good at. Gave me a nice bit of confidence. Even the hand wasn't horrible.
Josh and Marc and really carrying the art community they constantly give new content to help artist improve
Your growth these past couple years is so freaking inspirational! I wish you the best man.
You're a great artist. Your approach and how you teach is technical without feeling overwhelming. You help keep me in the art game.
I always hated how people didn't take into account that understanding anatomy from photos is hard because you don't have clear lines that show the forms of every part of the body. That's why this video was so helpful! I felt bad about learning anatomy from art and not pictures, but with your video a tried this method in your way and made so much progress!
I using tracing too/Sometimes I would do just free hand the pose or the object I'm trying to draw then trace it . THEN go back in free handing it using the things I learned & study from & it helped me be able to draw certain things/But I would say tracing is a great was to learn things that you haven't tapped in yet.
Following your journey and seeing you improve really motivates me josh, thanks for posting this dives into your thought process!
I honestly never thought about focusing on artists that I enjoyed; obviously, I've picked up shading tips and or general artistic preferences, but I never thought about simplifying their work to understand why I like their anatomy. Thank you for the insight!
I cannot thank you enough for addressing this! tracing is an amazing way to learn and many people online will try and shy young artists who are new to the digital drawing space such as myself away from it. Ive had my drawing tablet for a little under 3 years and my progress has been insane. I couldn't have come as far as I have if it had'nt been for this method. Im so glad i came to this video for inspiration and to help set my mind on the right track and escape artblock.
Love watching your thought process
I'm SOOOOO happy i found your channel. Your videos have helped me so much in such a short time. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for posting this!! I have been an artist for years and I started using the tracing technique several years ago when I got my first Wacom. Over the years I have had a few people tell me that I "cheat" and degrade my work. I have always defended myself by saying that I used it to ensure my shapes and angles as well as to learn new styles. I have never made a copy of someone's work to claim as my own, rather used the basic shape and made it my own. Seeing another artist justify this as a learning technique really made my day. 🥰
I love this channel more down to earth than art channels and more helpful than all most my artists.
This video came the best time! I was trying to find a way to draw anatomy and start to learn it but I didn't find where to start and how. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, now I'm ready to face Anatomy or any other parts after a year of being depressed and thinking i am no longer improving. I also love your voice, its very calming.
Simular things like this have improved my work in the past and seeing it on display like this make it click this will be how i practice in the future
Just finished drawing hands feeling unstoppable
Thank you josh for this video I’ve gotten back into my art like 4 months ago and been drawing since I was 12 but seeing this definitely has be more focused on anatomy study it is very helpful thank you
This was great advice. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I'm glad you did this. I always felt like that type of practice wasn't allowed so i've really been holding myself back cuz it all just seems so intimidating. Thank you!
This was so informational! I loosely sketch over the reference and then clean it up with a neater sketch, before adding the base colors. I’m gonna definitely try this technique so I can improve.
Thank you! This was so helpful :) I can't wait to start drawing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will take these tips and try to better my drawings!
Thank you so so so much for this idea, technique and explanation. It seems to me that the way you approach learning drawing is super brilliant.
UR VOICE IS SO SATISFYING!! 😩✨
I really appreciate this a lot, I struggle with anatomy now a days since I don’t sketch as much as I used to, and I’m happy that my process is sound lol
I thought I was insane for doing this but this made me feel much more confident about learning anatomy and was super helpful!
Thank you for making this video while I try to draw as often as I can I find in later years of my art journey I’ve really fallen down on improving on fundamentals choosing to play it safe and for a long time avoided tracing due to how online you can get blasted for drawing something too similar to someone else even though tracing can be much a tool to learn as drawing from references. I plan to tonight start doing drawing exercises and your method to start getting better at art.
You are an exceptional artist sir. There is definitely work out there for you.
i love that u show the whole process, like when you mess up or change a part by transforming it or erasing and drawing it again! it makes me feel a lot better because i constantly mess up lol
Excellent video Bruv 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Talent in learning and practice makes perfect
I feel like this actually helped a lot, thx so much for the amazing tutorial
This is literally the only video talking about character anatomy that doesn’t sound like complete gibberish to me. Thanks dude!!
Thanks for this helpful video !
You are really great artist all love for you !!! Thanks for teaching us !!!
Great video. Very helpful practice techniques
The difference between them was really apparent for me. You could see the attention to detail really stuck out for the 2nd drawing, whereas the 1st drawing looked almost unsure. A great video
I just watched ur vid today and ur art is so clear and very helpful for a beginner like me! I really need this.
most artists in my place are different from u, when I try to ask for tips or pieces of advice, all they say is to practice more.
I was really about to cry , but when I saw this video it likes made a spark in my mind , thank you so much 🙏
Amazing art!!!!
Awesome 👏 this is really how my mind works when studying and focusing on rendering anatomy from imagination. But your advice about tracing over figures and the simplification process as well is a very practical way to study for sure . It’s like having X-ray vision lol 👏☺️
this was super helpful , thank you so much!
This is really nice. I can't believe I did start this on time
so helpful video.
I'll try! thank you for uploading.
Within 4 seconds of this video starting I thought that my bass settings were way off the charts, then I realised it was just your soothing voice. Subbed.
This is exactly what I was looking to hear and learn. Now I know a much better way to practice what I want to be learning.
hi ergojosh
this week i have beginning to follow your lesson, i need tbh this anatomy i can do with tracing and also copying but when i try to do it without guidelines i still need a lot of practice. but i will never give up to become a great artist like you and i will still follow your work. please keep up the awesome work
thank you, this was neat and infromative
omg this is the only anatomy video i could get that actually helps/makes sense :0 gracias, i am blown away🤯🤧
Thank you, this was really helpful ^^
Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes improvement
-some guy
that's been in my head but i forgot who said it-
@@chichou7 same lol
I'm glad I been finding other youtubers who do tracing in the RIGHT way, tracing is meant to be used as a guide not many people seem to understand what it meant for, especially who those used it in the wrong way. I traced myself but it really helped me to understand and help me grow as an artist, I still do it but rarely, but what I do is I delete it afterwards after a few tries, and then I try my own way from memory. Tracing helped me understand the flow of certain things that I couldn't get a grab on without it. Save me from getting more frustrations and time over one thing... Sometimes we have to trace in order to get the understanding of things. But in all seriousness those who do trace , please trace only as a guide and for studies. Not trace to claim the art as your own... it wrong to do so. Plus can ruin your reputation as an artist and so forth. More importantly always give credit. c:
Btw great video. ^ ^ Even tho I kinda did something like this before, but I'll look more into this cause I like the idea of just inventing, I really like your content btw and your art( I mean the sketches in the end) def subbed. ♥
This video is phenomenal for me at least. I have been on and off drawing for a while now as I don't have enough confidence in my own art style and pieces I produce. Since going back to school, I have yet to really take any new drawing classes but have taken animation 1 which allowed me to do or try new things for myself that I never thought I would ever do which actually helped break the mold of my stubbornness to try something new and explore as I am highly critical of my own work, as a lot of artists are. I recently started to use real people poses and draw my simplified skeleton on top of them to see these poses in shapes which I see you are using in the video and honestly its the best set up for most people who struggle with recreating the human body or any body for that matter. Trying to create a body from the mind tends to be hard for me as I can see it clearly in the mind, but placing it on paper or digital paper can be tough and stressful. Your video is beyond helpful as I am able to go even further in my practice than I did a couple weeks back.
Just had a massive breakdown since I couldn't get a single pose right and I felt like this was my limit for art so I should just stop but this video literally cured that and taught me how improve thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Me too I just always forget that you have to practice soo much to learn anatomy
I... Don't normally log in and comment on these kinds of videos, I usually watch them incognito, as I have my own set artists I like to watch.
Having recently picked up digital art, over doing physical medium with pencils for many many years, the one thing I walked away from this video with, is making a big freaking image of all the art I want to learn from, and just slap new layers over them, if I want to trace, opacity, if I want to copy block out that layer and sketch beside it on my graphics tablet... Thank you :) I hope to learn other neat tricks from you.
Very helpful video! Thank you :)
the talking hands are backk
Thank you so much for sharing this!! You are an inspiration as an artist!!!!:)
Love the Aloy drawing!! 🏹❤️🔥
Thank you this was helpful .. I will most definately do this
You've only been drawing since 2017? Geez, man. You deserve every success.
A very interesting video on the study of human anatomy for beginners. This video helps me a lot in drawing a person. I draw a lot of anatomical drawings and this helps me a lot in developing my level as an artist.
New to your channel but love your content. This is exactly what I needed to learn and didn't even know until I saw your video. Thanks for this. Subbed for sure.
this really helps me thx sm i love this video
for the longest time i thought all you did was copy drawing because those are the only videos that showed up in my feed. very impressed with your camera angles and your ability to foreshorten in a realistic way. super cool stuff.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
This video is so helpful for beginners like me
Thank you for this >3
Thank You dis was very helpfull 👍
Doing this alongside slowly learning anatomy is probably the best way to go about learning to drawing the human body. Even short, simplified looks at bone structure would take you a long way while doing this. I recommend it to anyone who can't be asked to learn anatomy the "traditional" way. You get to draw/practice immediately what you want while also reinforcing the "why" which will help things stick longer. I'm so motivated to improve rn
insane work
This is actually how ive been learning, is tracing, then copying that trace to understand the shapes
Wow, I did what you said, implemented a few other things and went from a complete noob to being able to confidently draw an anatomy without a reference. Thanks so much :)
I actually do this too! I trace my reference as a base sketch, and make it my own as I go along.
There's this artist I absolutely love named Pilyeon, and I love the way they draw their characters. So I'm working on tracing one of Pilyeon's works before coloring it. And then I'll copy it on a different canvas with the reference in the corner.
Your videos are very informative. I enjoy watching them. Wonderful job on all your sketches, btw. ❤
I've been drawing on and off since 2016 though since I got my tablet 2 years ago I've been trying to get it more constantly, suddenly I just lost all confidence in my anatomy. This video really helped thank you so much! This is super helpful!
Why have I never thought of putting a grippy on my digital pen! that’s wonderful!
Great video, I subbed. Thank you!
I want to learn to draw my favorite characters and my own characters I've created in a believable fashion. I also wish to draw them in any point of perspective. I see many methods to draw human anatomy, and I don't know where to start. It's all so overwhelming. I see the simplified forms route as confusing because I wonder if those forms are 'snapped' to a perspective grid and that I need to learn perspective and add all of those horizon line connections to each form. It's all so confusing and I feel very discouraged.
Look, I know that you've heard this so many times, but don't give up. I started drawing about 2 years ago. I wouldn't draw every day due to school assignments and because my schedule was full but sometimes I would manage to find time to draw smth. Up until now I've not learnt many things. I'm drawing by my finger in my phone. The app that I use it ibis paint x. As you can understand, there are several restrictions that I can't really avoid them. It is very frustrating but I prefer not to give up. I'm just like you, I wanna learn digital art to draw my fave characters (Atla) but I don't manage to do very well. These days I've been drawing almost every day and I saw a huge improvement compared to stuff I'd draw a year ago. I'm not a prodigy. I'm not like many others that can basically understand what's going on and learn it in a week or so. I do struggle a lot with anatomy and perspectives too. I can't draw side profiles. I barely can draw a 3/4. I've been thinking of buying a tablet and a stylus. I'm not really sure tho, if it will help me. Yeah the stylus is important, but I don't really think that a change in an app can make a big difference. Some apps have very useful tools, but I still believe that practice makes perfect. To be more honest, I do believe that practice makes permanent. So, perfect practice makes perfect. But don't give up. I know many people in social media that started from drawing only messed up sketches that turned out to be much better than I could ever imagine. And most of them in a span of months.
@@Alkinoos.Iosiphidis get a drawing tablet or a sketchbook and pencil just get the cheapest 10" one you can find
@@thompsonevergreen8006 Wish I could. I can afford a tablet but I don't know if it's worth it. I've tried a plenty of things in my life (most of the separate from one another), but I always tend to waste my time. I love digital art. I'm not gonna be bored, even if things don't turn out quite as predicted. But the budget will be wasted.
Thank you for this video. This was a great reminder that shapes are the fundamentals for a reason. They're the building blocks of what art our will become. :D
Thank you. I myself am learning how to draw. I think the best way to better learn for me is to go back to basics and trace. That way I can get a better image and also have it kept in my notebook. In which I can always return to it to study anatomy at any time as well as practice. It is a good reminder whenever I am stumped.
