Why is the mascot for this place an angry naked leprechaun?

But dad, I swear I couldn't see an anatomy thread.

>>2952325
Don't waste your time on anatomy yet, you need to get a grasp on how to draw simple 3D forms first.

>>2952376
Yeah, how do I do that? Focus on perspective of abstract shapes? Should I use pencil and paper rather than digital? Help me I have no clue about art

>>2952325
Draw people made of boxes in all kind of perspectives. I'm not even memeing.

>>2952381
What do you mean, made of boxes? All limbs boxes? Detailed box-limbs? Work up to more detailed boxes then transition to smooth when I have it down solidly?

Learn how to draw boxes, spheres and cylinders in space. Learn to simplify the 8 major bodyparts into their respective forms. Once you understand volume you can start with anatomy.

>>2952406
Any good youtubers/written tutorials that take you through this?

>>2952421
Then I'll stop bumping and be banished to /beg

Lol, I remember making a comment about the knee-face not so long ago. I wonder if that was the inspiration for your pic.

Learning perspective and exercing your ability to break down objects into their simple forms.
In order to force myself to see 3D I personally like to draw random outline shapes and then fill in the interior with a grid that shows the volume.

Another anon here. This all seems extremely helpful and I've been thinking about perspective, boxes, and methods of construction since I saw some of Kim Jung Gi's artwork and how he sets up his figures. I feel as if I struggle to set up figures in different perspectives and would be better if I had some way to properly set them up, the less strokes required the better.

That being said and based on pic related, should I continue trekking on through Loomis' Figure Drawing For What It's Worth or should I stop and try to get this type of construction down before I continue? I was going to go into Vilppu's guides and look for some books on defining facial features since I shit the bed with that as well.

loomis goes into this stuff as well.
Just combine landmarks and "maniquinization" with your current anatomy knowledge.
Hampton is helpful too because he goes more into depth about simplifying major muscles.

>>2952904
>"maniquinization"
I may have glossed over a couple of pages regarding that bit. Silly of me to skip those few pages and then complain about construction.

>>2952909
That's what proko calls it, but loomis brings in the mannequin as well

The best way to learn anatomy is to sculpt it.
