how to draw arms ? ? 

holy fuck

holy fuck is right… but… does it work with legs???

image

yes !!

but how much extend

^^^^^^^^^^

image
image

I NEARLY CHOKED

ENJFDFNFATFVFDF

image
image

finally. i can be accurate

This is too fucking great to not reblog

image

I give it MASCLES

BIG MACHO

🤣🤣

LMAOOOOOO

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

image
image
image
image

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

image

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

image

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

image

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

image

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG
