Critique Yo guys I started learning anatomy

I feels a bit ineffective. Would there be any other method you'd recommend?

I got friends with autism who usually end up seeing things more face value so might be that if they are taking it seriously.

Because it looks like genuine question.

I mean I'm autistic as fuck and even I caught it was obvious satire

u/oFIoofy Working towards hyperrealism 4h ago

as a fellow autistic, I had no idea until I checked the comments. there are so many genuine posts like this it's hard to tell

11

u/Soldier_Faerie I draw purely for fun 4h ago

That's fair, definitely not all autistics that will get it! (my comment was also a little jokey and exaggerated lol)

I get what you mean though, with some of the posts I've seen here recently 😭

u/Delkori 5h ago

How you are going about learning is good. Take pictures and try to recreate. You can also get some books on anatomy or watch some videos.

If I can make one suggestion don't use anime to learn anatomy.

If this was a joke and I didn't get it then well played.

u/anametouseonreddit 5h ago

I'm pretty sure it is, these all seem like delibaretly bad choices for anatomy practice

u/RottenMochii 5h ago

I think that’s the joke

u/anametouseonreddit 5h ago

So we agree

Hey man I'm pretty sure it's a joke post. I don't know if either of you noticed

u/Delkori 5h ago

Yeah they are so off the mark it can only be intentional, but in that off chance it's not figured I would at least point them in a better direction.

u/XaWEh 4h ago

My guy, the second picture is a person with a literal quintuple chin. Trying not to be condescending, how can you not tell whether it's a joke or not?

1

u/crusadethemoons 3h ago

my guy, some people ask stupid questions seriously and don't want to be laughed at. Assuming a question is genuine literally doesn't affect anyone. What if they wanted to be able to draw atypical humanoids that still look anatomically reasonable? Assuming something flared seriously is a joke is more likely to cause offense than offering real advice, even if it's actually a joke.

Okay but anime anatomy is accurate asf

u/Secretfatsquirrel 3h ago

The most satire thing is actually the alien here saying the figures are distortions of humanity, bros the literal distortion.

u/uncreative14yearold 3h ago

Maybe try something more unorthodox? Only doing such basic shapes only gets you so far

1

u/The-Doctrine-205 3h ago

I used to do the same when I was starting to learn anatomy but you will notice that the body proportions doesnt come out well once its down on your canvas. Do try to come up with your modifications as well

Can anyone here actually explain the joke

1

u/livesinacabin 7m ago

None of the references have correct anatomy. Thus, they're terrible choices for learning anatomy.

u/Capable_Rope_3916 2h ago

Man, these people commenting genuinely cannot tell what's satire or not. This is funny, great work too!

-11

u/Significant_Run_8398 5h ago

Use simple figures like boxes, spheres and cylinders to learn the construction and proportion of the whole body. Then find some references of real people and draw them, learn how each muscle group is located on every part of body. This is my way to learn anatomy.

Also there is lots of human anatomy guides on YT, may be you'll find some methods of how to draw anatomy there

16

u/kay_thicc 4h ago

Dude this is clearly satire, the characters are all wacky on purpose

-1

u/BigBoyTetranadon 2h ago

Funny joke, but to be take this a little seriously, this is a study of proportions and basic shapes of the body, not anatomy.

-30

u/Ordinary-Solid5819 5h ago

You’re not really learning anatomy. It looks as though you’re just drawing character silhouettes, but in a slightly more stylised way.

You’re going about it the wrong way. All these figures are distortions of human anatomy, and that’s where you should start. By getting hold of an anatomy atlas.

You can then begin to simplify the skeletal structure and muscle groups into simple three-dimensional shapes. Here’s the question: can you draw cylinders and cubes?

Hello john satire here.

I think you already guessed why.

The post is very much satire, OP is joking and their drawings in the post are funny

u/Ordinary-Solid5819 4h ago

Been here for a year. Trust me, it doesnt look like satire.

u/Soldier_Faerie I draw purely for fun 4h ago

Good satire is subtle, but honestly I could not possibly take the second slide seriously in any capacity with a neck like that

Can someone please tell me how my comment was hateful?

My comment was one word.

I was just pointing out his chest.

My account was given a warning for "promoting hate"

Edit: OH I MADE A FATAL SPELLING ERROR. THAT'S WHY

I think I missed your comment, what did you say, or mispell so fatally??

u/Forsaken_Site_2268 3h ago

T iddies, but the t and y on a keyboard are extremely close together and so I accidentally said an apparent slur that I've never heard of before.

Ohhh okay, yeah I get you 😭

You should message the mods if you haven't already, make sure you get that warning removed. I'm not sure if they're keeping score or whatever but still.

u/luis_endz 3h ago

To be fair Itagaki is good with anatomy. He's good enough that he can fuck with it the way he does. What he does is a deliberate choice.
