The Human Body: Draw It As You Know It

00:00:09.866 --> 00:00:12.653
GCC Academy

00:00:25.906 --> 00:00:27.138
Hello

4
00:00:27.139 --> 00:00:29.814
I will be talking about figure drawing for Webtoon

5
00:00:29.814 --> 00:00:32.928
I am Webtoon artist Uksoo

6
00:00:33.324 --> 00:00:39.480
This is Session 14, titled
The Human Body: Draw It As You Know It

7
00:00:39.599 --> 00:00:44.599
The discarded title was
Figure Drawing by a Philosophy Major Webtoon Artist

8
00:00:44.808 --> 00:00:46.734
It didn't make it in the end

9
00:00:46.957 --> 00:00:50.647
I majored in humanities,
so I am not professionally trained for drawing

10
00:00:51.134 --> 00:00:56.396
However, even without any educational background,
you can still draw well

11
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.599
That was the hook that I had in mind

12
00:00:58.599 --> 00:01:02.037
I also think it's a very truthful title

13
00:01:02.599 --> 00:01:06.832
This session is for those of you who want to draw Webtoon,

14
00:01:06.844 --> 00:01:10.712
but are struggling with figure drawing as beginners

15
00:01:11.025 --> 00:01:14.907
Starting Your Webtoon

16
00:01:15.215 --> 00:01:18.127
Let me show you my drawings first

17
00:01:18.374 --> 00:01:21.034
This is what it look like in 2024

18
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:24.706
How do they look?

19
00:01:25.115 --> 00:01:26.435
Looks pretty good, right?

20
00:01:27.331 --> 00:01:29.615
Let u's go back to 2000

21
00:01:29.866 --> 00:01:34.001
The infamous era of Y2K, 24 years ago

22
00:01:34.003 --> 00:01:35.859
This was when I was a sophomore in college

23
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.386
Wow, this is something

24
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:40.254
This is embarrassing

25
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.927
However, this was the best I could do back then

26
00:01:44.478 --> 00:01:47.598
As I told you, I majored in humanities

27
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.589
It was Chinese philosophy too

28
00:01:49.601 --> 00:01:52.668
I was never professionally trained in drawing

29
00:01:53.126 --> 00:01:56.244
However, by continuing to draw for 20 years,

30
00:01:56.244 --> 00:01:59.608
I think I can now draw whatever I want without as much hassle

31
00:02:00.694 --> 00:02:02.124
How was it possible?

32
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.307
How could I make a debut with this lack of skills,

33
00:02:06.307 --> 00:02:09.017
and how could I continue to serialize?

34
00:02:10.117 --> 00:02:13.144
The reason is, my goal was not to draw well

35
00:02:13.144 --> 00:02:16.582
My goal was to present the story I had in my mind

36
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.651
I work to create the plot and the storytelling for it

37
00:02:21.368 --> 00:02:23.995
That was the game-changer for me

38
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:27.600
I also accepted the fact that I lacked in my drawing skils

39
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:29.182
I drew within my skill level

40
00:02:29.182 --> 00:02:32.183
without avoiding what I intended

41
00:02:33.128 --> 00:02:35.506
My focus in artwork was here

42
00:02:35.827 --> 00:02:42.020
I didn’t avoid or run from difficult compositions
just because they were hard to draw

43
00:02:42.935 --> 00:02:46.830
This overall approach seemed to resonate
with the editorial team,

44
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.678
as they continue to allocate valuable space to me

45
00:02:54.432 --> 00:02:57.818
There are many artists in this industry
who prioritize storytelling

46
00:02:57.823 --> 00:02:59.952
and direction over pure drawing skills

47
00:03:00.258 --> 00:03:05.096
 A great example is Bae Jin-soo,
known for his gripping narratives

48
00:03:05.096 --> 00:03:10.600
and intense storytelling
in Money Game, Pie Game, and Funny Game

49
00:03:11.412 --> 00:03:16.600
In his early works, there were some awkward
character or background drawings

50
00:03:17.114 --> 00:03:21.605
However, his stories are filled with chilling twists

51
00:03:21.605 --> 00:03:25.315
and thought-provoking messages that linger

52
00:03:26.222 --> 00:03:29.488
Readers don’t mind his drawing style

53
00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:33.860
In fact, it has become his signature,

54
00:03:33.861 --> 00:03:35.897
helping him build a strong and loyal fanbase

55
00:03:36.444 --> 00:03:39.965
Now, he is firmly established as one of Naver’s top creators

56
00:03:40.683 --> 00:03:42.348
Even Bae Jin-soo himself has acknowledged,

57
00:03:42.348 --> 00:03:44.549
I know I’m not good at drawing,

58
00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:46.600
but what can I do? I can’t draw well

59
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:48.254
But one thing I insist on

60
00:03:48.846 --> 00:03:51.363
Even if I lack drawing skills,
I will always convey what I intend

61
00:03:51.371 --> 00:03:55.250
I never compromise on that

62
00:03:55.885 --> 00:03:57.788
A similar case

63
00:03:57.788 --> 00:04:00.979
is What's Wrong with My Breast?

64
00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:02.980
and Daily Dose of Sunshine,

65
00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:06.934
which was also adapted into a Netflix drama

66
00:04:07.752 --> 00:04:10.993
One is a personal story about a woman
battling breast cancer,

67
00:04:11.443 --> 00:04:15.313
and the other is about the struggles
of a psychiatric ward nurse

68
00:04:15.314 --> 00:04:18.547
Despite their heavy themes,

69
00:04:18.547 --> 00:04:24.035
they have gained love from readers
through their storytelling and direction rather than artwork

70
00:04:25.039 --> 00:04:29.183
So, does this mean that artwork
isn’t important in webtoons?

71
00:04:31.381 --> 00:04:34.600
For first-time webtoon creators, I think that’s true

72
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.776
For now

73
00:04:36.605 --> 00:04:40.695
It’s like wanting to cook something

74
00:04:41.090 --> 00:04:43.600
you've never made before, like carbonara pasta

75
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.064
When you don’t even know how to make carbonara,

76
00:04:48.064 --> 00:04:50.370
worrying about plating

77
00:04:50.371 --> 00:04:52.629
and how to make the food look presentable

78
00:04:53.098 --> 00:04:54.066
How good is that?

79
00:04:54.606 --> 00:04:56.774
That's the logic here

80
00:04:57.383 --> 00:05:02.199
If you start focusing on aesthetics too soon,
you might not even dare to cook

81
00:05:02.434 --> 00:05:05.732
What matters is getting the ingredients and making the dish

82
00:05:06.221 --> 00:05:08.841
 Of course, the first attempts might look messy

83
00:05:09.106 --> 00:05:13.707
But over time, as you keep practicing,

84
00:05:13.707 --> 00:05:16.368
you’ll naturally start plating neatly,

85
00:05:16.369 --> 00:05:18.490
twirling the pasta perfectly in the center

86
00:05:18.499 --> 00:05:22.080
and grating Gouda cheese over it,

87
00:05:22.518 --> 00:05:24.411
while making everything look easy

88
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.600
For beginner Webtoon artists, just organizing your initial idea

89
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.791
into a structured story is already overwhelming

90
00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:35.157
And on top of that, the storytelling techniques and direction

91
00:05:35.894 --> 00:05:38.069
These are the real game-changers, after all

92
00:05:38.548 --> 00:05:44.517
So, you can afford to set aside concerns
about artwork for now

93
00:05:45.182 --> 00:05:47.441
That said, I believe artwork still plays a crucial role

94
00:05:47.689 --> 00:05:51.191
We interact with countless people, forming relationships,

95
00:05:51.942 --> 00:05:53.503
many of which are fleeting

96
00:05:53.951 --> 00:05:57.603
 In most cases, we judge people by first impressions,

97
00:05:58.107 --> 00:06:01.929
because we’re too busy to assess

98
00:06:02.126 --> 00:06:05.467
each and every individual in-depth

99
00:06:06.014 --> 00:06:09.222
The same applies to Webtoons
Artwork serves as their first impression

100
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.397
A handsome face is entertaining in itself, as people say

101
00:06:12.770 --> 00:06:13.822
It's the same logic

102
00:06:14.303 --> 00:06:20.355
We are naturally drawn to Webtoons
that feature characters who align with our personal tastes

103
00:06:22.075 --> 00:06:23.264
So,

104
00:06:24.252 --> 00:06:26.090
imagine you're browsing a Webtoon platform

105
00:06:26.842 --> 00:06:28.016
Here are the two works

106
00:06:28.406 --> 00:06:30.622
Which one would you click?

107
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.098
Most of you would likely choose the one on the left

108
00:06:36.391 --> 00:06:38.034
I once encountered this firsthand

109
00:06:38.522 --> 00:06:42.891
when preparing my current webtoon, Twinkling Small Eyes

110
00:06:44.244 --> 00:06:48.552
I wanted to create a unique
and unconventional character design,

111
00:06:48.726 --> 00:06:51.772
so I drafted a concept and showed it to a friend

112
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.253
And her response?

113
00:06:54.908 --> 00:06:59.146
I can tolerate an unattractive female lead,
but I can't stand an ugly male lead

114
00:06:59.456 --> 00:07:01.963
I wouldn’t read a webtoon like that

115
00:07:02.713 --> 00:07:04.924
So, I revised his design

116
00:07:05.843 --> 00:07:09.600
No matter how brilliant a story or direction may be,

117
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.992
if it fails to draw readers in, what’s the point?

118
00:07:12.854 --> 00:07:15.600
In an era where webtoons flood the market,

119
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.213
the first thing that captures a reader’s attention,

120
00:07:18.214 --> 00:07:21.015
the thing that makes one to click on the thumbnail,

121
00:07:21.015 --> 00:07:25.435
That’s the power and importance of visuals in Webtoons

122
00:07:27.586 --> 00:07:29.773
We all want to draw well

123
00:07:30.245 --> 00:07:31.051
Platforms like X,

124
00:07:31.171 --> 00:07:32.654
or ex-Twitter,

125
00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:36.860
Instagram and Pixiv are filled

126
00:07:36.861 --> 00:07:39.357
with insanely talented artists

127
00:07:39.357 --> 00:07:44.116
who receive thousands, even tens of thousands, of likes

128
00:07:44.873 --> 00:07:47.963
I personally believe that all creators seek attention,

129
00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:50.600
whether they are introverts or extroverts

130
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.275
Look at what I made!

131
00:07:52.276 --> 00:07:58.014
Please notice me! Every artist is essentially saying this

132
00:07:58.436 --> 00:08:02.027
And the same goes for aspiring webtoon artists

133
00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:05.599
But right now, for beginners, it’s not that easy

134
00:08:05.902 --> 00:08:09.228
Even simple things like
frontal faces, hands, basic compositions

135
00:08:09.465 --> 00:08:12.892
can take a long time to draw

136
00:08:12.892 --> 00:08:16.060
And even after all that effort,
they often don’t turn out the way you want

137
00:08:16.423 --> 00:08:20.663
That’s because drawing isn’t just
about memorization or study, but a skill with practice

138
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.359
It takes time to develop,

139
00:08:25.359 --> 00:08:27.418
growing only as much as you invest in it

140
00:08:28.018 --> 00:08:32.539
Unless you’re a genius, you won’t master it quickly

141
00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:35.599
Sure, you might occasionally create a great illustration

142
00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:38.149
by chance and impress people,

143
00:08:38.149 --> 00:08:40.939
but if you lack the fundamentals,
it will soon become obvious

144
00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:45.973
Looking back, I realize that
I never actually liked drawing all that much

145
00:08:46.896 --> 00:08:51.193
It was only after I reached a certain level
that I started enjoying it

146
00:08:51.599 --> 00:08:54.567
The better you get, the more fun it gets

147
00:08:54.966 --> 00:08:59.763
For the first seven or eight years of my career,
drawing felt exhausting

148
00:08:59.763 --> 00:09:01.876
I hated working on the artwork,

149
00:09:02.599 --> 00:09:03.807
but I did it because it was my job

150
00:09:04.756 --> 00:09:07.045
I was depressed for a long time

151
00:09:07.045 --> 00:09:08.787
 and as a result,

152
00:09:09.455 --> 00:09:11.957
I had no desire to practice drawing at all

153
00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:18.805
Before I debuted,
I attended the Hankyoreh Cartoon Academy

154
00:09:19.504 --> 00:09:25.300
One day, our instructor assigned us an exercise
based on a scene from Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys

155
00:09:26.478 --> 00:09:27.463
It's this

156
00:09:28.896 --> 00:09:31.040
Using a grid,

157
00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:33.580
the task was to meticulously copy the image, box by box

158
00:09:34.114 --> 00:09:39.309
That was the tip the instructor gave us

159
00:09:39.881 --> 00:09:41.349
But I hated that assignment

160
00:09:42.078 --> 00:09:44.599
Copying something exactly felt tedious,

161
00:09:44.599 --> 00:09:48.928
like studying, and I found it boring and difficult

162
00:09:49.368 --> 00:09:52.960
In the end, I didn’t do a great job,

163
00:09:53.270 --> 00:09:58.341
and my instructor pointed out several flaws in my work

164
00:09:59.300 --> 00:10:01.055
Going even further back,

165
00:10:01.055 --> 00:10:04.637
when I was in high school,
I was a huge fan of Yang Young-soon’s work

166
00:10:05.114 --> 00:10:06.723
Even now, I still am

167
00:10:06.724 --> 00:10:11.114
Back then, his work Nudlnude

168
00:10:11.118 --> 00:10:13.460
took the Korean comics industry by storm

169
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.324
His ability to simplify and reinterpret

170
00:10:18.324 --> 00:10:21.813
human anatomy was groundbreaking in his own style

171
00:10:22.599 --> 00:10:24.749
I once read an interview where he mentioned

172
00:10:24.749 --> 00:10:28.913
that he practiced a lot using Louise Gordon’s book

173
00:10:28.916 --> 00:10:31.479
on anatomy and drawing techniques

174
00:10:31.662 --> 00:10:33.376
his was before online bookstores existed,

175
00:10:33.376 --> 00:10:37.588
so I immediately rushed to Kyobo Bookstore
and bought the book

176
00:10:37.995 --> 00:10:40.093
As I bought it, I thought,

177
00:10:40.093 --> 00:10:45.599
I’m going to study this and finally become great at drawing!

178
00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:48.534
But the moment I opened it, I was overwhelmed

179
00:10:48.535 --> 00:10:51.250
The book was filled with intricate diagrams of bones,

180
00:10:51.256 --> 00:10:55.416
muscles, and meticulously shaded body structure

181
00:10:56.201 --> 00:10:59.469
I got discouraged on the first page

182
00:10:59.599 --> 00:11:01.311
That was when I instinctively realized,

183
00:11:01.651 --> 00:11:03.649
that this is not my path

184
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:09.731
I still have that book today, sitting on my shelf
like a display piece

185
00:11:10.297 --> 00:11:17.062
I was a philosophy major with no formal art education

186
00:11:19.156 --> 00:11:24.640
Thinking I could master anatomy at Louise Gordon’s level

187
00:11:25.509 --> 00:11:28.717
was like someone struggling with
basic addition and subtraction

188
00:11:28.717 --> 00:11:31.683
suddenly being told to learn calculus,

189
00:11:31.684 --> 00:11:36.078
trigonometry, and advanced algebra

190
00:11:36.078 --> 00:11:37.619
That's what it felt like

191
00:11:38.648 --> 00:11:39.675
I'm no genius

192
00:11:40.291 --> 00:11:41.341
I'm quite the opposite

193
00:11:41.967 --> 00:11:43.046
It felt impossible

194
00:11:44.771 --> 00:11:46.183
That's how we feel discouraged,

195
00:11:46.184 --> 00:11:47.776
and end up giving up

196
00:11:48.110 --> 00:11:49.054
saying we can't do it

197
00:11:50.599 --> 00:11:55.192
When you see insanely skilled artists on Instagram
or Twitter,

198
00:11:55.192 --> 00:11:58.640
I'm suru it’s easy to feel defeated

199
00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.599
You might think, they're so good

200
00:12:01.599 --> 00:12:03.813
and they're only 17?

201
00:12:04.385 --> 00:12:08.440
I must be a piece of garbage

202
00:12:08.815 --> 00:12:12.637
Countless people have abandoned their Webtoon dreams
because of this

203
00:12:13.319 --> 00:12:16.837
So, how did I train myself to draw?

204
00:12:17.671 --> 00:12:19.367
The answer is simple, by making manuscripts

205
00:12:20.853 --> 00:12:21.694
Dun-dun

206
00:12:22.599 --> 00:12:24.214
I just kept working on them

207
00:12:24.878 --> 00:12:29.303
I knew very well that I lacked drawing skills,

208
00:12:29.503 --> 00:12:30.510
but what could I do?

209
00:12:31.599 --> 00:12:34.384
I still wanted to create comics

210
00:12:35.063 --> 00:12:37.681
Life was dull, I was an outsider,

211
00:12:38.115 --> 00:12:39.780
and I had so many stories I wanted to tell

212
00:12:39.994 --> 00:12:42.687
Yet no one was there to listen

213
00:12:43.162 --> 00:12:47.123
 But when I turned those stories into comics,
people started paying attention

214
00:12:47.888 --> 00:12:50.510
So I planned out my stories and direction properly,

215
00:12:50.511 --> 00:12:53.242
and drew whatever was necessary to support them

216
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.154
Here’s the key point

217
00:12:55.839 --> 00:13:00.736
For a planned out scene, no matter how difficult
or unfamiliar the composition or characters were,

218
00:13:00.736 --> 00:13:02.404
I never compromised on drawing them

219
00:13:04.372 --> 00:13:05.353
Just like that

220
00:13:06.551 --> 00:13:09.572
The face looks off, now that I'm seeing it

221
00:13:11.599 --> 00:13:17.118
When creating storyboards, I often ended up
needing perspectives I had never attempted before

222
00:13:17.787 --> 00:13:20.019
Did I draw them well?

223
00:13:20.892 --> 00:13:22.892
This is my answer,

224
00:13:22.893 --> 00:13:23.600
a big no

225
00:13:23.952 --> 00:13:25.318
It looks off

226
00:13:25.838 --> 00:13:32.123
But I still gave it my best shot with the skills
I had at the time

227
00:13:33.498 --> 00:13:37.652
Even when I resented my own limitations,
I forced myself to keep drawing

228
00:13:38.094 --> 00:13:39.530
No matter how bad I was,

229
00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:42.896
I never skipped or avoided drawing difficult shots
in my manuscript work

230
00:13:43.411 --> 00:13:49.411
My drawing skills were developed
entirely through working on webtoon production

231
00:13:49.696 --> 00:13:51.946
As I mentioned earlier,

232
00:13:51.946 --> 00:13:53.534
drawing is a skill

233
00:13:54.231 --> 00:13:57.062
That means if you practice repeatedly,

234
00:13:57.062 --> 00:14:00.665
you will improve, no matter what happens

235
00:14:01.347 --> 00:14:02.598
That's what a skill is

236
00:14:03.435 --> 00:14:06.257
A creator whom I admire always says,

237
00:14:06.445 --> 00:14:07.779
If you’re human, you have to improve

238
00:14:09.531 --> 00:14:10.479
And it’s true

239
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.543
If you keep drawing, you will get better

240
00:14:13.057 --> 00:14:16.639
This is why long-term training is important

241
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:18.296
But at the same time,
so is actually making Webtoon manuscripts

242
00:14:18.599 --> 00:14:20.571
So just start drawing Webtoons

243
00:14:21.260 --> 00:14:22.355
It doesn’t matter if your drawings aren’t good

244
00:14:22.356 --> 00:14:23.596
It doesn’t matter if they look weird

245
00:14:23.983 --> 00:14:28.865
Beginners should focus on making the webtoon first
instead of getting stuck on studying drawing techniques

246
00:14:29.295 --> 00:14:34.613
However, the one thing you shouldn’t compromise on
is your planned storytelling and direction

247
00:14:34.613 --> 00:14:38.922
If you keep drawing, eventually,
you’ll reach at least my level

248
00:14:39.354 --> 00:14:40.175
I guarantee it

249
00:14:41.599 --> 00:14:43.531
You will gain devoted fans

250
00:14:44.599 --> 00:14:45.784
I guarantee that too

251
00:14:46.599 --> 00:14:50.413
I strongly believe that figure drawing should
not be a barrier to making Webtoons

252
00:14:51.218 --> 00:14:53.461
Your biggest goal should

253
00:14:53.461 --> 00:14:56.812
be completing your webtoon, no matter what

254
00:14:57.037 --> 00:14:58.276
Everything else is secondary,

255
00:14:59.028 --> 00:15:00.982
including improving your drawing skills

256
00:15:01.291 --> 00:15:03.185
Even the most unique storytelling techniques

257
00:15:03.185 --> 00:15:05.242
and the most meticulously structured narratives

258
00:15:05.916 --> 00:15:08.616
aren’t more important than finishing the story you started

259
00:15:09.014 --> 00:15:11.412
And this is especially true for beginners

260
00:15:12.305 --> 00:15:18.290
I understand that some of you want to improve
your drawing skills as you go

261
00:15:19.228 --> 00:15:21.296
I’m here to help those people by sharing

262
00:15:21.696 --> 00:15:26.083
the figure drawing insights I gained
through my own trial and error

263
00:15:26.751 --> 00:15:29.366
This is the heart of today’s lesson

264
00:15:31.278 --> 00:15:34.977
Take, for example, the late Kim Jung-gi

265
00:15:35.256 --> 00:15:38.599
His drawing skills were so legendary that countless artists,

266
00:15:38.599 --> 00:15:42.538
including webtoon creators, were inspired

267
00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:47.226
He could draw incredibly detailed pieces
without using any references or sketches,

268
00:15:47.853 --> 00:15:49.231
Just straight onto the page

269
00:15:50.175 --> 00:15:53.751
Not only could he draw familiar human figures with ease,

270
00:15:53.751 --> 00:15:57.166
but he could also create cars,
military boots, guns, leopards,

271
00:15:57.166 --> 00:15:58.974
Inuit shamans,

272
00:15:58.974 --> 00:16:03.193
things he probably had never drawn before
all with precision

273
00:16:03.665 --> 00:16:09.053
At first, you’d only see random strokes,
making it impossible to guess what he was drawing

274
00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:13.354
But before you knew it, an entire subject would materialize

275
00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:16.374
How was he able to do this?

276
00:16:16.753 --> 00:16:18.013
That question fascinated me

277
00:16:18.599 --> 00:16:21.500
Did he have a blueprint of everything stored in his brain?

278
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.357
How could he draw like that?

279
00:16:23.404 --> 00:16:28.705
Now that I have a better understanding
of gesture and anatomy,

280
00:16:29.573 --> 00:16:33.278
I think I finally have an answer

281
00:16:34.758 --> 00:16:37.902
The blueprint of everything was in his head

282
00:16:38.599 --> 00:16:44.993
He didn’t just memorize objects,
he understood their structure

283
00:16:45.102 --> 00:16:49.185
Understanding Human Structure
Through Croquis Drawing

284
00:16:49.829 --> 00:16:52.469
Here, we have a croquis model

285
00:16:53.153 --> 00:16:54.552
Try to imagine drawing it

286
00:16:55.098 --> 00:16:57.427
For beginners, it can feel overwhelming

287
00:16:57.877 --> 00:16:59.450
Where do you even start?

288
00:16:59.543 --> 00:17:00.308
With the head?

289
00:17:00.776 --> 00:17:03.864
Should you sketch a basic skeletal structure first?

290
00:17:05.864 --> 00:17:08.055
Here’s how I do it

291
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.063
I start by capturing the main gesture lines

292
00:17:16.370 --> 00:17:19.884
Angular points to break it down

293
00:17:21.152 --> 00:17:24.250
This part is actually quite fun

294
00:17:25.041 --> 00:17:28.350
Next, I establish the main body shape

295
00:17:31.068 --> 00:17:35.183
Then, I connect the limbs accordingly

296
00:17:39.780 --> 00:17:44.876
After that, I gradually refine the details

297
00:17:44.888 --> 00:17:46.670
Adding shoulder lines,

298
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.357
collarbones,

299
00:17:51.712 --> 00:17:52.480
chest muscles,

300
00:17:54.408 --> 00:17:55.813
quadriceps muscle on the side of the thigh

301
00:17:58.236 --> 00:17:59.206
And that's it

302
00:18:00.006 --> 00:18:01.178
Easy and fun

303
00:18:04.071 --> 00:18:08.207
Now, let’s transform this thin figure into a muscular man

304
00:18:10.254 --> 00:18:12.087
Here’s the face

305
00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:14.700
That's the face

306
00:18:15.818 --> 00:18:17.550
Since he’s bulky,

307
00:18:21.710 --> 00:18:23.069
his head will naturally be larger as well

308
00:18:23.442 --> 00:18:27.292
From the neck, the trapezius muscles extend downward,

309
00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:35.874
connecting to the collarbone or clavicle

310
00:18:35.874 --> 00:18:38.266
and the sternocleidomastoid

311
00:18:39.813 --> 00:18:41.863
behind the ear

312
00:18:41.863 --> 00:18:46.307
Muscles attach along the clavicle,

313
00:18:48.310 --> 00:18:51.674
which leads into the deltoids

314
00:18:51.674 --> 00:18:52.875
I'll talk about it again,

315
00:18:53.623 --> 00:18:57.985
but the triangular shoulder muscles

316
00:19:00.137 --> 00:19:01.601
that create strong definition are called deltoids

317
00:19:01.606 --> 00:19:04.089
See how present it is?

318
00:19:04.311 --> 00:19:05.645
Same on the other side

319
00:19:06.612 --> 00:19:11.333
Below, the chest muscles emerge

320
00:19:11.333 --> 00:19:12.954
the chest over here

321
00:19:12.954 --> 00:19:16.290
prominently from the clavicle

322
00:19:18.292 --> 00:19:23.669
This pose is designed to emphasize the triceps

323
00:19:24.994 --> 00:19:27.180
The torso is fully extended,

324
00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:33.827
making the abdominal muscles stand out

325
00:19:40.386 --> 00:19:41.386
And now,

326
00:19:43.125 --> 00:19:45.130
even though it’s not fully visible in this angle,

327
00:19:46.297 --> 00:19:49.449
the latissimus dorsi spreads outward,

328
00:19:50.425 --> 00:19:55.009
reaching under the armpit,

329
00:19:55.009 --> 00:19:59.595
while the serratus anterior runs down from it,

330
00:20:00.813 --> 00:20:03.810
connecting seamlessly to the lower muscles

331
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:06.870
This layering creates a three-dimensional effect

332
00:20:07.485 --> 00:20:08.834
On the upper arm,

333
00:20:12.153 --> 00:20:21.251
the biceps and triceps extend alongside the teres major

334
00:20:24.185 --> 00:20:27.802
The forearm structure follows naturally from this

335
00:20:34.667 --> 00:20:38.122
As for the pelvis,

336
00:20:40.434 --> 00:20:46.402
a man’s hip structure tapers inward at the iliac crest,
creating a distinct curve

337
00:20:49.763 --> 00:20:52.724
 The inguinal ligament

338
00:20:53.254 --> 00:20:56.704
or the ligament between the legs and the body

339
00:20:56.704 --> 00:20:59.377
clearly separates the torso

340
00:21:02.974 --> 00:21:06.461
The glutes follow this form smoothly into the thighs,

341
00:21:07.432 --> 00:21:10.790
completing the muscular figure

342
00:21:11.911 --> 00:21:16.093
Let's finish with the other bicepts

343
00:21:19.136 --> 00:21:24.201
That's the muscular man we have

344
00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:31.200
Personally, I love these flowing, defined lines

345
00:21:31.793 --> 00:21:34.687
Now, after showing off my own work,

346
00:21:36.085 --> 00:21:38.062
how did I get to this point and draw like this?

347
00:21:39.078 --> 00:21:43.957
If you can at least draw a face from the front,

348
00:21:44.722 --> 00:21:48.162
ask yourself, how are you able to do that?

349
00:21:48.874 --> 00:21:52.551
It’s because you understand the structure of a face

350
00:21:52.933 --> 00:21:57.406
You are familiar with its features and proportions

351
00:21:58.434 --> 00:22:00.338
The structure you currently understand

352
00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:03.768
is likely a front-facing face

353
00:22:03.768 --> 00:22:07.299
with eyes, nose, mouth, and ears

354
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.869
I know a bit more about body structures beyond that

355
00:22:12.362 --> 00:22:16.659
And Kim Jung Gi?
He didn’t just understand human anatomy

356
00:22:16.937 --> 00:22:20.137
He comprehended the structure
of countless objects in the world

357
00:22:21.173 --> 00:22:25.083
That’s why he could sketch anything instantly,
without hesitation

358
00:22:25.933 --> 00:22:29.636
There’s a big difference between simply knowing

359
00:22:29.637 --> 00:22:31.601
what something looks like

360
00:22:32.350 --> 00:22:34.879
and truly understanding its structure

361
00:22:34.881 --> 00:22:36.776
They shape how we perceive

362
00:22:36.776 --> 00:22:40.962
and interpret our subjects in vastly different ways

363
00:22:42.919 --> 00:22:44.962
The anatomy we’re about to study

364
00:22:44.963 --> 00:22:47.735
is ultimately about understanding
the structure of the characters we want to draw

365
00:22:48.121 --> 00:22:52.846
And the fastest way to do that? Memorization

366
00:22:53.307 --> 00:22:56.223
I wish I could tell you there was an easier method,

367
00:22:56.225 --> 00:22:57.237
but I only know one,

368
00:22:57.237 --> 00:22:58.998
commit it to memory

369
00:22:59.256 --> 00:23:00.322
Just memorize

370
00:23:01.507 --> 00:23:05.692
Memorize the images you see

371
00:23:06.541 --> 00:23:09.992
Trying to memorize everything at once
will be overwhelming

372
00:23:10.327 --> 00:23:12.961
Instead, as you go through this lesson,

373
00:23:12.961 --> 00:23:15.798
some details will naturally stand out to you

374
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.345
Those are what will stick with you the longest

375
00:23:18.686 --> 00:23:22.289
Start by applying just those details to your characters

376
00:23:23.404 --> 00:23:24.332
And that alone is enough

377
00:23:24.332 --> 00:23:25.316
You’ve already done well

378
00:23:26.150 --> 00:23:28.449
There’s no need to memorize every single part all at once

379
00:23:29.546 --> 00:23:31.599
Now, think back to the title of this lesson

380
00:23:31.947 --> 00:23:36.094
The Human Body: Draw It As You Know It

381
00:23:36.721 --> 00:23:38.599
That phrase wasn’t just for show

382
00:23:39.213 --> 00:23:41.699
Learning anatomy is like saving money,
accumulating bit by bit, over time

383
00:23:42.057 --> 00:23:44.914
Of course you may want to master it all in one go,

384
00:23:44.915 --> 00:23:46.040
memorizing everything

385
00:23:46.221 --> 00:23:47.729
If that's you,

386
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:51.453
that's impressive

387
00:23:51.454 --> 00:23:52.454
I fully support you

388
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.599
Here’s a little secret

389
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:01.707
If you manage to master all of this,
you can teach a class just like I am now

390
00:24:02.515 --> 00:24:05.826
Most of the difficult things you struggle with?
Professional artists struggle with them too

391
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.119
Which means, this is actually an open opportunity

392
00:24:09.914 --> 00:24:13.358
Now, let’s move forward
and start exploring human anatomy

393
00:24:14.052 --> 00:24:18.170
Resources for Studying Anatomy

394
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.806
First, we’ll start with a general overview of the human body

395
00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:25.530
How bones are structured,

396
00:24:25.530 --> 00:24:29.162
the properties of muscles, and how they are organized

397
00:24:29.163 --> 00:24:32.628
We'll go over these fundamental characteristics

398
00:24:33.201 --> 00:24:36.100
Next, starting from the face

399
00:24:36.104 --> 00:24:39.084
and moving down through the torso, arms, and legs,

400
00:24:39.085 --> 00:24:41.505
we'll look into detailed studies of the skeleton and muscles

401
00:24:42.023 --> 00:24:44.719
Along the way, we’ll also examine structural differences

402
00:24:44.719 --> 00:24:47.773
between male and female anatomy

403
00:24:48.383 --> 00:24:53.323
Finally, in the last session, we’ll put everything together

404
00:24:53.323 --> 00:24:55.056
and see how the different parts

405
00:24:55.056 --> 00:24:57.298
integrate into a full-body depiction

406
00:24:57.885 --> 00:25:01.606
Additionally, we’ll cover various practical details
needed for webtoon artwork,

407
00:25:02.007 --> 00:25:05.695
such as the differences
between a child’s and an adult’s face,

408
00:25:06.152 --> 00:25:08.211
how to draw hair,

409
00:25:08.211 --> 00:25:11.494
and other useful techniques before we wrap it up

410
00:25:11.951 --> 00:25:15.075
So what's in the next session?

411
00:25:15.406 --> 00:25:16.599
It's the face, right?

412
00:25:16.761 --> 00:25:17.504
It's not

413
00:25:17.743 --> 00:25:19.539
We're starting with gesture

414
00:25:19.773 --> 00:25:22.849
If muscles are like trees,

415
00:25:22.849 --> 00:25:26.389
then gesture is the view of the entire forest

416
00:25:26.752 --> 00:25:30.331
Just like how you write an outline before an essay,

417
00:25:30.331 --> 00:25:31.973
understanding the overall movement

418
00:25:31.974 --> 00:25:37.344
and flow of the human body should come
before focusing on individual anatomical details

419
00:25:38.001 --> 00:25:41.908
So, for the next lesson, bring your drawing tools

420
00:25:42.481 --> 00:25:46.826
Whether digital or analog, it doesn’t matter

421
00:25:48.283 --> 00:25:51.018
And here's a reminder about this course

422
00:25:51.244 --> 00:25:57.827
This course is not solely about
mastering anatomical drawing

423
00:25:58.638 --> 00:26:02.092
The focus is on making Webtoons

424
00:26:02.669 --> 00:26:04.594
If you clicked on this lesson,

425
00:26:04.594 --> 00:26:07.201
you likely did so because you felt

426
00:26:07.587 --> 00:26:10.155
your drawings were lacking and wanted to improve

427
00:26:10.962 --> 00:26:14.651
But the real goal here is to keep making Webtoons,

428
00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:19.183
not to get lost in endless anatomy studies

429
00:26:19.711 --> 00:26:23.972
Think of this course as a reference guide

430
00:26:24.362 --> 00:26:27.311
Do it as you know it, don't if you don't

431
00:26:27.311 --> 00:26:28.980
You can always look things up later

432
00:26:29.424 --> 00:26:32.424
The last thing I want

433
00:26:32.424 --> 00:26:34.957
is for anyone to get frustrated

434
00:26:34.957 --> 00:26:37.234
and quit Webtoon creation altogether

435
00:26:38.175 --> 00:26:40.815
Now, I’d like to introduce

436
00:26:40.815 --> 00:26:44.924
the anatomy resources I personally found useful

437
00:26:45.214 --> 00:26:50.195
First is Stonehouse's Anatomy Notes by Seok Jung-hyun

438
00:26:50.614 --> 00:26:53.661
Among books published in Korea,

439
00:26:53.666 --> 00:26:58.249
this is hands down the best resource

440
00:26:58.249 --> 00:27:00.739
for understanding bones and muscles in depth

441
00:27:01.609 --> 00:27:03.646
It’s available as an eBook

442
00:27:04.033 --> 00:27:08.047
I own both a physical book and an eBook

443
00:27:09.172 --> 00:27:14.812
The eBook version is easy to reference
while working on digital art

444
00:27:15.443 --> 00:27:19.202
Next up is Point Character Drawing by Taco

445
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.826
Compared to Stonehouse's book,

446
00:27:23.042 --> 00:27:25.345
this one takes a different approach

447
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:27.599
It’s compact,

448
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:31.343
with a clear division of muscle groups
in a simplified cartoon style

449
00:27:31.934 --> 00:27:34.599
It offers practical tips for character drawing,

450
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.816
making it a great starting point for beginners

451
00:27:38.293 --> 00:27:43.351
Next is Anatomy for Sculptors by Uldis Zarins

452
00:27:43.722 --> 00:27:45.954
This book is designed for sculptors

453
00:27:46.406 --> 00:27:49.259
Unfortunately, there’s no official Korean edition,

454
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:51.456
so I had to buy it from an overseas bookstore

455
00:27:52.430 --> 00:27:55.599
Like Taco’s book,

456
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.920
it clearly separates muscle groups

457
00:27:58.922 --> 00:28:03.233
and organizes body parts in a way
that makes them easy to find

458
00:28:04.470 --> 00:28:08.741
It also provides detailed explanations
of how muscles change with movement

459
00:28:09.074 --> 00:28:12.413
and covers characteristics based
on age, gender, and ethnicity

460
00:28:12.421 --> 00:28:15.699
So it provided me with some valuable knowledge

461
00:28:16.295 --> 00:28:19.599
If you want to find more resources beyond my videos,

462
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.461
I highly recommend looking through these books

463
00:28:22.659 --> 00:28:27.749
In fact, flipping through a book can often
be much faster than watching a video

464
00:28:28.112 --> 00:28:32.099
Now, as we wrap up this session, let me ask this

465
00:28:32.347 --> 00:28:34.869
For those aspiring to become webtoon artists,

466
00:28:35.162 --> 00:28:37.990
what do you think is the most important thing
you need right now?

467
00:28:38.708 --> 00:28:39.801
Is it drawing skills?

468
00:28:40.235 --> 00:28:41.449
Is it anatomical knowledge?

469
00:28:42.206 --> 00:28:45.145
Is it a constant stream of new ideas?

470
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.077
I believe the most important thing is momentum

471
00:28:48.955 --> 00:28:53.353
Think about RPG games: when you start,
your character's skin and gear are basic, almost pathetic

472
00:28:53.907 --> 00:28:56.976
But even at level 1,

473
00:28:56.977 --> 00:29:00.620
you may bet a protection buff for beginners

474
00:29:01.711 --> 00:29:03.079
That’s exactly what momentum is

475
00:29:03.788 --> 00:29:05.644
You just start drawing

476
00:29:06.134 --> 00:29:07.466
You don’t know anatomy?

477
00:29:07.498 --> 00:29:08.354
Draw anyway

478
00:29:08.829 --> 00:29:10.670
You’re unsure if your story makes sense?

479
00:29:11.006 --> 00:29:11.838
Draw anyway

480
00:29:11.838 --> 00:29:12.788
What does it matter?

481
00:29:13.189 --> 00:29:14.620
Honestly, no one is reading it

482
00:29:15.694 --> 00:29:16.745
It’s just practice

483
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:20.039
You feel like you’re completely clueless?

484
00:29:20.937 --> 00:29:21.854
That’s exactly the point

485
00:29:21.854 --> 00:29:23.448
Ignorance makes you fearless

486
00:29:24.094 --> 00:29:26.273
But the buff I’m talking about here

487
00:29:26.273 --> 00:29:28.527
isn’t just about blindly drawing out of ignorance

488
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.597
It’s about the raw, uninhibited creativity
that only comes from drawing without overthinking

489
00:29:34.458 --> 00:29:37.401
Seventeen years into my career,
burdened with experience and self-awareness,

490
00:29:37.401 --> 00:29:41.599
I can never again create works with
the same bold, reckless energy

491
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.683
as my early practice sketches or debut projects

492
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.366
That kind of fearless innovation

493
00:29:47.366 --> 00:29:48.709
only exists in

494
00:29:49.351 --> 00:29:52.343
the clumsy beginnings of first-time artists

495
00:29:53.061 --> 00:29:55.297
Of course, your drawings might be awkward

496
00:29:55.297 --> 00:29:58.210
Your story might be all over the place

497
00:29:58.216 --> 00:30:02.839
But I guarantee there will be something
fresh and alive in your work

498
00:30:03.701 --> 00:30:07.960
Even if you don’t see it now,

499
00:30:08.265 --> 00:30:10.422
someone else will

500
00:30:10.676 --> 00:30:12.295
Maybe that person will be me

501
00:30:12.295 --> 00:30:16.009
Maybe it’ll be one of the countless
Webtoon readers out there,

502
00:30:16.014 --> 00:30:16.926
who knows?

503
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:19.209
But one thing is certain

504
00:30:19.675 --> 00:30:23.199
There will be people who see your webtoon and say wow

505
00:30:23.682 --> 00:30:28.599
And years later, after you’ve spent a long time
working as a professional artist,

506
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.854
if you look back at the manuscript you’re making now,

507
00:30:30.860 --> 00:30:34.045
you’ll understand exactly what I mean

508
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.387
Wow, I was so bold

509
00:30:36.387 --> 00:30:38.527
How did I even come up with this?

510
00:30:38.890 --> 00:30:40.185
You'll think like this

511
00:30:41.071 --> 00:30:43.673
But for that to happen, you need to finish it

512
00:30:44.237 --> 00:30:45.813
Whether it’s a short one-shot or a long-form story,

513
00:30:45.813 --> 00:30:48.980
this only applies if you complete it

514
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.492
That’s why I recommend starting with short Webtoons

515
00:30:53.089 --> 00:30:55.027
Something around 70 panels

516
00:30:55.618 --> 00:30:59.269
If that feels too short, go up to 100 panels

517
00:30:59.269 --> 00:31:04.175
or break it into a 3-episode series

518
00:31:04.662 --> 00:31:07.737
If you can complete three of these short works,

519
00:31:07.737 --> 00:31:11.958
I promise your skills will improve dramatically

520
00:31:12.479 --> 00:31:15.989
Because you’ve gone through the process of finishing,

521
00:31:15.994 --> 00:31:19.566
you’ll gain the strength to create even more manuscripts

522
00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:25.218
And once your work is done, put it out into the world

523
00:31:25.797 --> 00:31:28.456
I know that for some of you,
this might feel incredibly daunting

524
00:31:29.289 --> 00:31:31.983
But as I mentioned earlier,

525
00:31:31.983 --> 00:31:34.225
whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist,

526
00:31:34.877 --> 00:31:39.473
all creators crave attention

527
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.796
So, push past the hesitation

528
00:31:43.372 --> 00:31:44.997
And beyond that, let’s be real

529
00:31:44.997 --> 00:31:50.125
If your manuscript is just sitting in a local folder,
no one will ever know it exists

530
00:31:50.446 --> 00:31:51.720
No one will beg you, saying,

531
00:31:51.726 --> 00:31:54.599
Please, I need to see your webtoon!

532
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:56.035
Show me, please!

533
00:31:56.493 --> 00:31:58.292
No one will do that to you

534
00:31:59.189 --> 00:32:03.831
Create a social media account and post your artwork

535
00:32:04.285 --> 00:32:05.591
Share your manuscripts

536
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.630
There are two key reasons for this

537
00:32:08.647 --> 00:32:14.215
It helps establish your presence and visibility

538
00:32:14.670 --> 00:32:15.664
And second,

539
00:32:16.141 --> 00:32:20.319
it allows you to build connections
with fellow artists and industry professionals

540
00:32:20.987 --> 00:32:25.557
I’ve explained the long journey that led me
to become a webtoon artist,

541
00:32:26.048 --> 00:32:29.891
but the truth is, countless people
were by my side for that journey

542
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.599
Not all of them were positive experiences

543
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.450
Some caused hurt, some relationships ended bitterly

544
00:32:35.855 --> 00:32:37.958
But I can say with certainty

545
00:32:37.961 --> 00:32:41.077
that without those people,

546
00:32:41.077 --> 00:32:43.816
I wouldn’t be here today

547
00:32:44.388 --> 00:32:46.366
I would have given up a long time ago

548
00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:49.640
Being a creator is not a solo endeavor

549
00:32:50.470 --> 00:32:54.984
Whether it’s online or offline,
you need people to share this journey with

550
00:32:54.986 --> 00:33:00.118
And having a public portfolio in your account
will be invaluable

551
00:33:00.313 --> 00:33:01.390
Because at the end of the day,

552
00:33:02.189 --> 00:33:04.670
this industry thrives on

553
00:33:04.670 --> 00:33:07.631
what you create and how you express it

554
00:33:09.289 --> 00:33:10.862
To summarize,

555
00:33:10.862 --> 00:33:13.593
it doesn’t matter how much knowledge you have

556
00:33:14.002 --> 00:33:15.599
Just start creating

557
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:17.028
Complete your Webtoon

558
00:33:17.037 --> 00:33:19.533
Share it with the world

559
00:33:20.075 --> 00:33:22.050
Then, start a new one

560
00:33:22.050 --> 00:33:23.845
Finish it, publish it, and repeat

561
00:33:24.318 --> 00:33:26.110
And in doing so, you will find your peers

562
00:33:26.455 --> 00:33:28.918
Once you have those peers, talk to them, and share ideas

563
00:33:29.424 --> 00:33:34.421
If you find people you get along with, meet up,
grab a coffee or a drink, and build those relationships

564
00:33:34.954 --> 00:33:38.690
Exchange feedback, and collaborate on manuscripts

565
00:33:39.007 --> 00:33:40.599
Join Discord servers too

566
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.748
With this, you’ll go from a single page
to finishing a full-length episode

567
00:33:46.173 --> 00:33:48.923
That’s what having creative peers is all about

568
00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:53.316
For a figure drawing lesson, I’ve spent all this time
talking about Webtoons instead

569
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.859
But don’t worry

570
00:33:54.859 --> 00:33:57.228
Next time, we’ll dive headfirst into anatomy

571
00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:01.181
This concludes the first session of

572
00:34:01.181 --> 00:34:04.348
The Human Body: Draw It As You Know It

573
00:34:04.954 --> 00:34:07.036
Thank you all for watching

574
00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:10.952
Starting Webtoons with Limited Drawing Skills
Drawings create the first impression
They influence first-time readers' decisions

575
00:34:10.953 --> 00:34:13.317
Drawing is a Skill
A few lucky good illustrations can deceive, but real skill will always show through

576
00:34:13.318 --> 00:34:14.318
Understanding Human Anatomy Through Croquis Drawing
Establish the gesture lines
Connect the torso, limbs, and additional details
Memorize

577
00:34:14.319 --> 00:34:15.319
Transforming a Slim Figure into a Muscular One
Trapezius, sternocleidomastoid from behind the ear
Emphasize the pectoral muscles with the collarbone

578
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:16.320
For a triceps-focused pose, keep the back straight
Lassitude dorsi extending under the armpit
Serratus anterior muscles connecting

579
00:34:16.321 --> 00:34:18.115
Biceps and triceps alongside the latissimus dorsi
Pelvic bone with a slight inward curve

580
00:34:18.115 --> 00:34:20.207
Mastering Anatomy for Drawing
Begin with gesture lines, add structural details
Prioritize understanding full-body motion before muscle anatomy

581
00:34:20.207 --> 00:34:23.165
Publishing Artwork on Social Media
Establish a presence and increase visibility
Expand connections with fellow artists and industry professionals
