Description



Before I say anything else, PLEASE DOWNLOAD FOR FULL VIEW!

Anyways, I present to you the 2013 version of my, yet another flawed and very inaccurate anatomy guide! XDD

I decided to make another version of the old anatomy guideline because I think it needs some changing. I would supposed to finish this a lot earlier ago, but I was busy with requests. ;w;

Take not that note everything in here has to be followed---I am still learning from real life, so you might as well do the same instead I'm still learning GAH


Critiques are deeply appreciated. :heart:



By the way, RDJ photo reference is found in google <3

The format isn't horrible and honestly there is a place for "cheat sheet" type of anatomy guides.
The problem is, you look at reference of an actual person for 1 part..but then don't for the others. The faces are not what they are. They aren't anatomically perfect but for whatever reason that's okay for manga/anime.
The eyes portion is just negative space and add some shading effects to emulate the impression of the eye. Some of the better eye tutorials I've seen actually explain how the lids wrap around the sphere and how that shape, along with the impression of the socket and the deposits of fat or wrinkles around the eyes creates a more accurate and complete portrayal of eyes.
The profiles on the nose are pretty bad and the nose itself is a stylized nose and is in no way anatomically correct so I will leave it alone.
The bodies have a number of problems. The breasts and muscles and other surface details are disappearing or being flattened into the profile you have created. These features should wrap around the underlying form. The fat guy as an example.. his pectoral should come away from his body but it's just mashed on there.
The breast on the upper left line-woman do not appear to be there but rather drawn into the negative space. The hourglass figure womans' boobs appear to be tacked on rather than flowing from the body below the clavicle. The ribcages are not correct at all nor are the abdominal structures. The center-line of the guy on the rectangular body is flattened when it should countour with his 3/4 angle. His shoulder looks dislocated as well.

I am not saying you shouldn't stylize these features, but stylize the correct anatomical features and respect the volume and anatomy of the underlying skeletal and muscular systems regardless of the style. I still make a lot of mistakes when I try to do anatomy without reference and I strongly suggest that for this kind of thing, you follow reference.

It took courage for you to make and post this and a love of art. Please understand that I'm not trying to tear any of that down.. just help you move forward.
