Hi Everyone! I just wanted to say a quick hello while I practice for the next anatomy tutorial. The next drawing anatomy lesson focuses on the trapezius muscle. I’ve finally gotten back to the anatomy lessons after some time off from them.

Great video! I think the whole thing about feeling the mass (or oval-ness, you might say) and beginning with the larger shapes is a really important point to drive home, especially to beginners. It’s not something that people deduce naturally.
FYI though, if you’re still gathering information about the Trapezius for a video tutorial, I think it might be important to mention that while most diagrams show the trapezius from the back, the top fibers attach to the whole length of the spine of the scapula AND swings around, continuing towards the front to also attach to the clavicle. (people can confirm this on anatomy/art books or even on Wikipedia: they’ll often mention “the lateral third of the clavicle”)
While that may sound like just a bit of anatomical trivia to some people, this extra attachment in front does have some bearing on what the trapezius muscle’s shape looks like from the front and at certain angles, especially when the muscle is being used.
I just didn’t hear you mention it (or represent it on the drawing you were making) so I figured people who might see this video alone might get the wrong idea so… yeah. Just in case… I guess. I mean I think it’s something learners might want to know. Although I guess most people wouldn’t even know what a “spine of the scapula” really is so I guess the video itself wasn’t made to stand alone anyway.
Anyway… I hope I’m not crossing the line and coming off as telling you how to do your job or anything. Your videos really are great as they are. I look forward to your future videos.

Great Video. You are so entusiastic it’s contagious. I have the hardest time with this area the ‘ovals’ explanation was another A-Ha moment.

Awesome timing for this video! We just started learning about the muscles at my school yesterday, so this video helped me understand it in an artistic sense. The drawing tip was really helpful too.
Thanks for the videos! Your website has a lot of great infomation.
