Oh and another thing i find REALLY helpful when learning anatomy is, after having learning all the muscles, their names and how they should be drawn, looking at how OTHER ARTISTS, preferably very experienced ones, simplify and draw whatever it is that you are learning. For example, kimg jung gi. i absolutely ADORE the way he comunicates volume and perfectly captures the feel of any body part with just lines and curves. He was also a master of perspective so there's always a TON of angles to study. Doing this can expose you to different thought processes behind the same things and introduce different approaches that can widen your understanding of whatever it is, that you are studying :)

Funny how Pikat says: "I went from this, to this" When both the drawings look really good.
@PhoenixBlade
You don't actually need to learn every bit of anatomy. After all, your face has tons of muscles, but you don't see them. You only need to learn what makes the visible shapes and why.
@veryfilthything
If you just add before:2022 to a google search, it will eliminate every AI result (by virtue of only showing you results that were around before AI models became public) This is useful if you're looking for references of stuff like anatomy since you really don't need to most up to date results. A photo of an arm from 2021 is as good as one from 2024. Might as well dodge all the AI sludge in the process.

Learning art is starting to feel like med school.
@virtmarshall9472
copy intentionally and test yourself by applying it to your own ideas. Study your results, analyze, indentify, adapt, overcome. repeat
@fotdk1
This is such a great video! It's nice to see an artist describe HOW to learn to get better. There's so many tutorials on how do draw stuff, but not how to LEARN!

I forget everything I study all the time cause of ADHD. This is very encouraging <3

I think this is why having a simple box mannequin with key landmarks that can be rotated (based on your skill level) makes remembering muscles and bone anatomy so much more consistent and digestible. Starting off basic to more detailed based on how you feel comfy plus a small bit of difficulty goes a long way. If you can rotate it, slice it on its contours, and describe its landmarks and function, you got levels of understanding on that form.

If you're struggling to stay focused on learning and find yourself on autopilot, here's an exercise I've found helpful for actively engaging with the material: Draw a person or animal in the midst of transforming into a different species. This exercise forces you to actively seek out information about the position of bones and how things connect in order to compare them with something else. It makes it much more difficult for your brain to fake learning. Any task that challenges you in this way could help you overcome autopilot or "fake learning," but creating shapeshifting characters was what worked for me.

For anyone who struggles with actually focusing on learning instead of autopilot, here's an exercise I found helpful to force me to actually learn: Draw your person or animal in mid transformation (to a different species) This makes it so you actually have to actively look for information like position of the bones and how things connect to compare them with something else. It makes it a lot harder for your brain to fake learning something Honestly any task that ups the challenge level that way would probably help get around a strong autopilot or 'fake learning' but shapeshifting characters was just how I found mine
@Twiddle_things
This video convinced me to finally relearn the fundamentals and start studying muscles and bone I was just able to near perfectly replicate the upper body from memory (i made the deltoids too small and the sternocleinomastoids were curved in the wrong direction)!!! Before I discovered Pikat's channel I practically quit art and wouldn't stop being depressed about it. All of my art looked like garbage while my friends kept improving. This silly channel finally gave me the motivation to keep drawing regardless of how it turns out, and to begin studying. My art has improved a HUUUGE amount in the span of a few months and I am SO HAPPY!!! Thank you so much Pikat ❤ I am finally able to draw again and be proud of my work. If ur reading this and haven't done your art homework, GOGOGOGOGOGO!! You'll have little progress at first, but you'll slowly start to ramp up speed and begin improving super fast!!!!!!
@NexyiaArt
Awesome video! Your note about 3D models reminds me of fancy marble statues, a similar reason to study them! Thank you for the info here :D
@maybekye
00:15 "All I did to improve from [Good looking art] to [Better looking art, Ig?]" 😭😭
@siddharthmadhavan1242
found you about a month ago from the cube video and i've watched every one of your videos since! I definitely think you're one of the most informative and entertaining artists on here and i'm learning so so much, keep up the amazing work :))
@sk8boredd
I love binging your vids, I'm obsessed... and I'm also lucky I found your channel cuz I joined an art class :D So I can improve even faster.....
@cherieecherry
honestly the hardest for me is not the remembering but not to be on auto-pilot when drawing. I found myself having fun on drawing and without realizing my hand just move on it's own without me thinking.

no way she drops this they same day i decide to dedicate my time to learning anatomy, you're a psychic i swear
@reth6090
thank u so much for this video 😭 ive been studying anatomy for weeks, a specific limb each week and its been realllly overwhelming. i write down notes too much and when i do draw/copy diagrams or from anatomy vids, i take too much time copying/tracing it, and so i end up wasting my time for the week and barely aCtuAlLy doing proper studies or drawings of that specific body part. seeing your drawings and hearing your insights has made me realize that i need to chill the fuck out and get my priorities straight. i should start learning like how u seem to do it…efficiently copying the muscles without worrying if the drawing is too messy or too clean, jotting down only the very important details (e.g. origins and insertions) the past few weeks ive been pressuring myself to do very indepth studies and though it might help me remember important details in the long run, i’ll risk burnouts and, well, my health. so, ye, thanks for this video which reminded me that its okay to stay in my comfort zone, as long as im learning! (love love love ur art btw!)
