Hi, how did you learn to draw Steve's physique?

Ohh what a complicated thing to answer...

When it comes to how I learned to draw anything, it's hard to say anything too specific since it's always a culmination of many years of assorted study and practice... but I can try to do my best to explain some of the biggest things that helped me learn, some tips I keep in mind, and maybe at least some places to start/delve further.

(just a little disclaimer it's not like my drawings here are going to be 100% medically accurate.. they're just to illustrate concepts!)

The main thing about learning various physiques is understanding anatomy. Which feels obvious, but I don't mean proportions; these are important, but perhaps more important is understanding the skeleton and how it moves and learning where muscles connect to bones and where fat grows on the body. When you understand how these function on a more mechanical level, depicting form and movement in a way that feels natural comes in tow.

For instance, understanding things like the pronation and supination of the radius and ulna, as well as the fact that muscles can ONLY contract or relax, will help you understand a bit better which muscles will be flexed and which will not while someone moves. It's inherent to the positioning based on the structural makeup of the body... It's not like you NEED to memorize all the muscles and bones, of course, but understanding and gaining at least a passive familiarity with the concepts really helps.

In tandem with this concept is the way parts of the body flow into eachother. Muscles ALWAYS come in groups because they can only contract. Whatever muscle is there to lift something, there is a muscle on the other side to pull that bone back down. What this results in is a series of straight edges next to curves, which gives us a lot of really lovely "s curves" and dents and folds and so on and so forth just naturally occurring.

I would suggest at least learning the "bony landmarks", which are bones (usually) visible on the surface of the body. things like the iliac crest, the great trochanter, the 7th vertabrae, the acromion process... These can be used to help you understand the parts of the body as angles and relationships, rather than trying to remember lengths and sizes, which vary immensely... (since you asked about steve, he can be our model... also study these on your own don't just take my word for it haha, these are the ones I personally keep in mind)

I've done the same thing with body hair... learning where it grows and in which directions... It helps me make up variations without needing reference, because I have a set of rules I can follow.

The biggest thing that helped me understand all this on a much deeper level was my ecorche course. I sculpted this guy. We started by sculpting the entire skeleton to understand the bones, and then we added muscles on top. Not every single muscle, of course, but the "artistic muscles" AKA the ones which directly affect the surface of the body. Doing this let us see where muscles connect, because we would make a shape, put it on the bone where it actually goes, and then you get to see how other muscles overlap that.

This helped me, perhaps, more than anything else. But I also didn't just start with this course, I had been drawing for years before I even took it. I had been in school for years before I took it. Not that I think it wouldn't be helpful to someone just starting out, but I do think that the more you know going in, the better an in-depth course like this will help you and stick with you. Classes are also expensive, though so I'm not really like... recommending you pay potentially thousands of dollars to take one... But it did help me a lot, personally.

I also, of course, have done many figure, gesture, and master studies...

These just help you quickly gain a stronger understanding of generalized anatomy, and gives you real life examples of and practice with of how people move and balance.

What all this does when combined, is gives me a very solid ability to depict movement and form in a way that feels relatively natural from my subconscious without the need for reference.

The rest of how I've learned to draw his physique is honestly mostly just stylization. I understand the body, and this is how I am depicting it for his level of musculature.

And as I move into depicting him in other ways, either moving in comics or in animation, realistically rendered, or extra stylized, these concepts inform every step of that process for me! When he keeps the same/similar relationships between parts, he gets to still look like himself.

It ALSO really helps when putting clothes on, because the way cloth falls and bunches and lifts is all directly related to the form it is on... So the more you understand that form, the more you can depict clothing and movement in a way that feels natural.

This is all, of course, true when I draw anyone, you asked about Steve so I'm trying to mostly show with him! But because I'm just drawing from raw information of general anatomy rather than trying to study one body type at a time, it allows a lot more "give," I think!

Like, here's most of the cast from TTA so far... actually, they're not as varied as I thought they were nevermind LMAO ignore this part

But, it also makes monster and alien design much easier! It's a lot easier to come up with non-human anatomy when I understand human anatomy, because I can manipulate the knowledge I have...

There is infinite more to study in the world of anatomy... The complexity of the human body goes extremely deep. For our purposes as artists, we need only depict a fraction of it, but more information rarely hurts the process.

I'm sure there's something in here that's wrong on a technical level, I'm mostly going off of memory. But that's kind of my point - I understand enough generally and conceptually that when I am missing something and need to find reference for it, I understand what I'm looking at. It's much easier than trying to learn AND draw at the same time.

I hope even one thing in here helped you! Sorry it's so long.

Im not sure if this is a big take that a lot of people are having but the people that think eddie is thinking about moving for chris's sake. are we all watching the same season. the preist told him to be joyful and then eddie decided to start letting joy into his life. and any time eddie has talked about chris this season his face is either full of longing or eddie just cant stop cheesing about how proud he is to be his dad and how cool chris is and how much he loves him like just talking about how awesome chris is is bringing him so much happiness. christopher, and being his father, is what brings eddie more joy than anything else. and this is why hes considering moving, because he is tired of denying himself the joy of being a father to chris when he could literally be in texas cheering on chris in a way that is way too loud and obnoxious for a chess tournament because he is so proud and also so chris can say dad (annoyed) and eddie can ruffle his hair about it

literally ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ he said it outright he’s tired of missing out on chris’s big moments!

I love when I can blend headcanons with canon canon.

For example, my headcanon of "Yasmina Fadoula knows nothing about dinosaurs" mixed with the canon of Yaz accurately describing Pteranodons as flying reptiles. This combination produces the super-valid headcanon of "Darius kept yelling at Yaz because she called Mosasaurus and Pteranodons dinosaurs", supported by canon:

Wait, wasn’t I supposed to be posting old art? Well, there you have some self-indulgent thingie I did years ago while reading SSLL (my fav skeles then + Mutt)

And then a month ago when I started reading House Next Door (by @battlemaiden13​) I found myself wanting to be in Syrup’s arms like I wanted to be in Mutt’s

This is unlikely and I don't expect it to happen, but just as a treat:

Have we thought of the idea that Katsuki would stubbornly continue to try rehab on his right arm/hand, like he told the doctor?

And what if the first thing he does to demonstrate his progress to Izuku is to take/hold his hand??

He is still shaky and he can't squeeze Izuku's hand very much, but a gentle grasp is all it takes.

I can just imagine the warm smiles and laughter between the two of them as they hold hands.

[solargeist]

imagine grian accidentally getting hurt non-permanently, especially if it's in a way that hinders his ability to move or do something himself, like injuring an arm or leg (or a wing). he becomes more reliant on them, and he can't do anything about their doting. he doesn't have a moment of peace, because the watchers refuse to leave their poor hurt puppy alone. also watcher painkillers are probably fantastic. the question is, do they leave him lucid, or loopy?

oh man, yeah, he'd never hear the end of it !

It probably happens when he's out on a server, yknow, Watching, his whole thing, building a weird tower or setting pranks, something he genuinely enjoys doing, but he steps wrong and the gravel shifts from under him. He falls with it and ends up hurting his arm.

Grian holds his arm close to his chest and swears it doesn't hurt, its just a sprain or bruise, but when She tries to move his wrist he shouts.

So now he's stuck at home, no server outings until hes better. He's not even allowed to go outside, not allowed to walk the halls by himself, or climb to reach cabinets or shelves, its a very boring few months.

I imagine painkillers are just potions, so I don't think they leave him loopy !

MY HUSBAND. A MURDERER. who would have thought???

so it was him at the murderous end of that pipe. good for him

when i tell you i screamed when he walked into the room. i mean damn he can talk to me like that whenever he wants. HIS VOICE??? and that little evil speech at the beginning oooooh that's enough to kill me

maybe he didn't need to murder leitner as well but also who am i to stop him? like eurgh brotha eurgh but also ooooh baby heaven is a place on earth like that one remix that's on tiktok atm

AND because that wasn't enough, on top of being evil and fucked up he's also very powerful

excuse me but that's hot af. his place of power should be me.

(i have a thing for evil powerful men in case that wasn't clear)
