#IT WILL STILL IMPROVE

[sunflowertoonz]

How did you study anatomy? I am trying to learn but am stumped 🥲

Hello beloved anon! I started because of a muscle system's test and it was drawing was the best way for me to study ngl... Also assume half of the terms here are misspelled

WRITING AND DRAWING HELPS WITH MEMORY AND SO DOES PRACTICE!!

So first you should have a basic idea of how bodies are built (I'm using sketches i already have). The basic shapes of how things fit together. Use rectangles, cylinders, spheres, whatever works! We need a base before we get into complex stuff

I drew my little base underneath and used a TON of references. I started with the arms because it's only 5 you really need to know. Deltoid, Bicep, Tricep, flexors and extendors. You can usually get away with not doing the flexor and extendors but I draw them for accuracy's sake for diagrams

Ones I suggest the most are: Pectorals are also pretty important, they tend to stand out Biceps Triceps deltoids Gastronemius (the orange calves in the above image) gluteus maximus, everyone loves those.

The reason why those specifically is those are the ones that stand out the most. They make the curves of the body (technially that would include the brachiradialis, but if you do that then may as well do the flexors and extendors)

Everything else you can bs until it looks good, i will be frank

I wanted to go in-depth so i made a static little dummy, gathered as many references as i needed, and just replicated what I saw.

If you wanna learn what they are called (I'm pretty sure you want to just know how to draw them though, so you can skip this) then make sure to LABEL them. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, WRITING AND DRAWING HELPS WITH MEMORY AND SO DOES PRACTICE!!

After that I just put the bases in various poses and drew the muscles over them, challenging myself to do so without refs. Poses that are more dynamic help with knowing how they interact outside of just being relaxed. How they relax and contract (Biceps are really squishy, they almost turn into a ball when you curl your arm!!)

Of course you can just NOT label them, or section them off. You can, of course, just look at bodies and draw them WITH SKIN. You don't need to know the name of every one. Everyone's goals are different, and this is just how I did mine!!

Remember to have fun with it!!! Remember to take breaks!!

Also I still regularly use tubes in my art for the legs and arms. But it's like... better tubes.

For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.

(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)

I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently

Following an accident, Danny wakes up in Gotham City in a DC universe. Lacking any forms of ID or possessions beyond the clothes on his back, he’s forced to commit some crimes to survive. Minor crimes, but still.

And then he gets caught.

During the court proceedings, they come to the mistaken conclusion that he’s a Meta suffering from some psychiatric issues such as Cotard’s Syndrome (a real rare condition where a person holds the delusional belief that they’re dead/don’t exist/etc).

Thus, between his “need for mental treatment” and the concerns about housing someone with his unique physical traits, he is sentenced to spend time in Arkham Asylum. He’s under pretty low security aside from the anti-Meta stuff and has more freedoms than some other inmates, but it’s still not a great experience. Even at the best of times, Arkham is hardly a nice place.

Some of his fellow residents are decently chill all things considered, but lots very much aren’t.

God the rogue proposal is going to live in my head rent free for a while. Rogue isn’t a good liar!! He doesn’t lie at all during the episode. Any deception or mystery around him is that he just doesn’t say much, and when he does, he doesn’t give details. That shit was genuine (because everything he does is genuine) and it throws the doctor (guy whose primary hobby is Lying) COMPLETELY off guard I’m going to think about it for a million years

So I redrew this piece from uhhhh 8 years ago(?!)

hiii !! im so sorry you are not feeling the greatest, and i how you feel better soon ~ may i suggest some college au where dulcinea is the teacher assistant of a gideons and harrows class, and gideon can simply stop gawking at her <3 (extra points if harrow is kind of jelous) :D i send happy thoughts your way, keep pushing through :)

I have no idea what Dulcinea is teaching or even doing here. Neither does Gideon. And no one cares. Except for Harrow. She cares a lot.

God the more I draw her, the more I love giving Gideon some longer hair...
