Anatomeasy is a series of tutorials I'm starting about the anatomy of different areas of the figure. A lot of the wonderful books and guidance out there about anatomy for artists is comprehensive and therefore quite complex! That's a hard place to start. So I want to help you get started by seeing the things that really matter the most.

Even though anatomy is a part of what I'm studying at the moment, not just theoretically but also through dissections, I've never seen it that way. Keeping the form of the ribcage by itself in mind feels like a huge epiphany rn. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Friedrich :)
I think the biggest thing that helped me in this video is that you don't just explain how to draw the shape, you explain both how it interacts with other parts of the body and the lengths/balances that the rest of the body adheres to. Its HUGE, at least for me, to understand where things are placed and why they are placed there. Please make many more of these.
Wow... The overcomplicated "Harry" gesture looks exactly like what I'd usually draw. This has honestly been one of my biggest problems when it comes to gestures and work flow and you explained it so simply. It gets to the point of being infuriating sometimes when I'm trying to just practice a bit of figure drawing. It's wild how a few tweaks to your approach and what you focus on can make a world of difference. Thank you so much for this upload.
This video has single-handedly taught me a lot about figure drawing and the mistakes Ive been making this whole time in the past few years
Amazing video, thank you and love the work youre doing.
Ah I’m glad it was helpful!
Thanks. That was a really interesting take on understanding the rib cage. Recognising the independence of the shoulder positioning from the positioning of the rib cage itself is one I've not heard stated as clearly before. I will keep it in mind from now on, and hope it will clarify a bunch of different extended poses.
It was a big epiphany moment for me too. Feels quite obvious when you shrug your shoulder to your ear and your ribcage hasn’t moved!
This was so helpful. I usually struggle when it came to anatomy because i thought i need some type of special formula, but this right here really helped thank you.
i like how you showed practice example of Scott exercise at the end of video. Its very useful when we learn from past work and tracking progression in small details.
I always love seeing your teachings being put into practice in your videos! I'd highly recommend joining the study group and getting involved with the community over at Love Life Drawing. A great place to see others improving and inspire you to want to do the same. Thanks, Kenzo!
this was the one for me.
ive been drawing semi seriously since september this year and been trying to study anatomy and perspective and this and that, and i did manage that. but i wasnt able to progress too far, partially because i didnt practice enough but mostly because the explanations didnt click for me.
i get that for each person enlightenment comes differently, some people just need to see one video and theyre set, but im glad i had to watch a bunch of different professionals explain it in their own simple way. it gave me a much better understanding than if i had found this video first and kind of got it straight away.
i dont mean to say my understanding is more deep than other beginners because of that, but it is slightly more nuanced i guess.
now, its time to practice lol.
thank you for the video
I’ve been so stuck on how I could start to study anatomy and always had problems with gesture drawings as well, thank you so much this was so helpful!
Your gesture sketch was so good right off the bat...I'm so impressed!
I love this, I do illustration and some anatomy advice just doesn’t help me all that much, but this is also really helpful for simplified and more abstract figures. I want my figures to make sense without doing too much.
Love that Harry has you to help him out ;) Great tutorial!
You know there's so much between the very basic and the next level that people just expect you to figure out. They forget what it's like not to know.
I just wanted to come back here after a few months to thank you. Watching and following your tutorials has shown me visible improvement with my drawing. It is all coming together now.
Great to hear!
Learning so much. I❤it. Thank you 😊
This has been the most helpful explanation on how the muscles simultaneously behave & interact in relation to motion. The Harry/Sally method of explaining, how different approaches can lead to different visual expressions of the same gesture, actually made sense to my ADHD brain. Thank you for taking the time to put together this helpful creation.
This is a gamechanger for me... Especially the part about the chest and independent arms, an eye opener for sure. Thank you so much
Great, many thanks for this ingenious suggestion !
Your videos keep me motivated to continue learning and having fun while drawing 🤩 Literally it’s so motivational to hear you break things down with real-time examples on the side. thanks Kenzo!
The sternum and shoulder thing just blew my mind. Thank you for this.
This is THE single best video on human anatomy ever! Thank you!
this deserves more views wow. i watched a couple of anatomy tips but none of them makes sense to me more than this. thank you truly!!
Thanks for simplifying! Looking forward to your follow-up video about the pelvis!
you've actually hit the nail on the head for me, in regards to shoulder positioning leaving me wondering how it affected the ribcage.
thank you for the video, it helped out a lot!
Very well explained! Thank you very much!
You're a really good teacher. Helping me learn so much with your clear explanations and great visuals! 😀
I’d love a whole video about how the shoulders and pecs move, squash and stretch
Brilliant video in understanding the ribcage and drawing simply but accurately before moving onto the complexities.
This video was rly helpful for understanding more about these shapes and how to recreate them, definitely gonna be watching it again and sketching along later!
This is so helpful, thank you!
This is the exact problem I’m having, but didn’t know how to explain it or what to do about it. I appreciate you so much!
Thank you so much for this explanation and tips on how to look at the human form. It has improved my understanding of what I'm drawing!
Incredibly helpful! Thank you!!!!
Excellent!! Thank you
...i love this man so much and ive only seen him once in a 10 minute video, i learned so much, everything was clear, understandable to my peanut sized brain, amazing
Top tier video! I couldn’t make the boxes a lot of people use/recommend to use to simplify shapes work for me, this seems like it will be a much better way of doing things. Your explanations and examples are also on point, can’t wait to learn more from you! Instant sub. Also, super offtopic but you are an exceptionally attractive human!
Wow, that was so helpful and clearly explained! Thank you so much! 💖
Beautiful student progress!
Your videos are the best. I’ve studied figure drawing for a long time now, both in school, and online. Your videos clarify a lot of confusion that inevitably arises from a complex topic. Great resource! Thanks for all that you do.
This is one of the best channels for drawing.
Hands down best tutorial
Thank you
Thank you, I've struggled with anatomy for years but I feel like this really helped 🙌🖤
as usual, always so useful! thank you
Wow, this was genuinely so informative. The way you explained this has really helped me make a big leap forward in how I think about bodies.
Love this video, I am really curious about the video on pelvis! Because ribcage is relateively simple but the pelvis is like extremely complicated, so I'd love to see your breakdown on it too!
I hope to put it out in Jan :)
thank you this is really really useful. it clarifies so many little mysteries of the rib cage
Thankyou! The video clarified a couple of big issues I’d been having trouble with.
Oh my gosh, you're a star!!!! You helped me so so much, when all the anatomy texts weren't doing it
This is extremely well structured, with a great explanation too! I would love to see a similar video about pelvis so much...
ooohhh This was so so great!! Thanks for this great perspective!
Thank you! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I would love to see more video with only gesture drawing exercise, I learn a lot from the progress and the control of the pencil work is amazing
WOW! I get it! Finally something that I can work with! Thank you so much! I really appreciate you
It really marks you out as a trustworthy source of information that the figures in your examples are varied. Quite a few art youtubers, though obviously really experienced, seem to only draw young women in their videos
Welp, totally called out by the "drawings are either overworked or totally undefined" thing. My friend manages to see the forms within seconds while I currently produce stick figures with 1 minute drawings, but I guess that's to be expected since i'm totally new to this. They tried to reassure me that this is about gesture but I could tell that I'm not exactly on the right path yet.This video is actually just what I needed, thank you
I haven't watched your channel for awhile you have done very well with it haven't you, well done.
Omg. that a great video. i was looking for one like this
saludos desde Colombia
Extremely informative. Thank you!
OH MY GOT THIS HELPED ME!
excellent video, thank you
Great info! Thank you!
The best video. I learn a lot thanks to you, thank you 😁
your vids one of top ten best teacher from the force guy
Such a good video. Tysm 👑💪
Super helpful, thank you so much !!
Thank you Jose Aldo
I'm usually skeptical about art videos, but this is the real deal!
Brilliant video, very clear and concise :]
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you for this
Holy damn, this was so super useful! Thank you! 💙💙
Good stuff. Thank you!
Without noticing, I use that technic until I saw your video which then made me happy that I was on the right path since the start ^^
Thankyou so much, this has put new prespective to my view on torso
I'm a little late to the party, but this video has been incredible so far, and I'm only halfway through! I always struggle with proportions and getting the torso shape right and I think this will help me a lot.
btw in my mind, a lot of people may think of the ribcage as flexible because of how much it can expand and condense when breathing and such and this is an incomplete thought but I hope it helps you explain things in the future : )
Also! First time seeing this channel and I'm subbed, great info!
Thank you!! Helped me out :)
I am so glad I am part of the study group. I have learned so much. Best decision ever. I get to learn at my own speed along awesome and supportive people. Thank you!!!
Ah thanks Cristina that means a lot!
This video is so valuable, it helps me alot with the problems i been having
This video was the missing piece that I needed. I was like "harry" lol trying to painstakingly memorize every part of the anatomy and every muscle and bone. I really just needed the basic principled to get the overall shape! Thank you for this video! A light bulb went off in my head when i watched it.
Really good video, the way you explained it made something click for me
This is so helpful!
This is exactly the level of instruction i was looking for where I'm at
really helpfull, thank you
wow, this is a really nice and informative video thank you so much
A lot of my drawings are stiff. This helped me a lot!
another awesome vid!
Fantastic video, Kenzo! You present easy to understand ideas that really help me as I continue on my figure drawing journey. Thank you!
Hey Barbara - hope you’ve been doing well :) it’s great to hear your drawing continues!
Thank you
thank u for epic advice
Your channel is so helpful keep uploading videos. we thank you so much sir😁
great vid!!!
i was very sceptical about this, but i tried it and wth, it's like magic
good technics
I have a multitude of lightbulbs going on right now. Thanks so much for this video :)
Thanks.
새로운 관점으로 사람을 바라보게 합니다. 좋은 영상 감사합니다!
Thanks
many thanks Kenzo. hoping to get back on track to my drawing soon
awesome! you don't need to think you're either on track or off track, you can just put pencil to paper when you can even for a minute :)
