This was already on my DA but I had never put it on here, dunno why not. I had been looking at tons of other art tutorials and I was trying to think of a clever way to make it even more simple than all the tutorials I had seen so far. I'm not gonna brag but I'm open to your thoughts and opinions. Do you think this would help you? Is it understandable? Is it anatomically correct? Don't be shy now, leave your opinion below! \o/

Important anatomical notes:
You'll notice the lines on the neck come down to form sort of a point. following these lines to that point is a neat way to identify where the collarbone sits, and the collarbone then spreads out to each shoulder like wings.

You'll notice that I chose a square/rectangle to indicate the elbows instead of a ball. Don't ask me why, not even I am sure, it just seemed right. The elbow falls just below the ribcage and the wrist stops somewhere near the pelvis, normally, so the hand will often extend just a little bit past the crotch of your character. (So mine are actually just a little bit off)

On a female the hips are almost as wide as the shoulders, but on men the hips aren't any wider than the chest. This is subjective, however, since not every body is built the same. This is just a generalization for the average person.

I'm sure you've noticed some of the strange shapes I've chosen for the breast, belly, and butt. I chose these because they're simple and precise. If you imagine the breast like a wide box tilted on an angle, like in the picture, the points can show you where the nipples should sit and the straight lines will help to make the breasts appear evenly balanced. You'll have to 'flesh' the image out later on but this makes a good starting point.

The "Football" belly isn't the most anatomically correct thing ever, but it's pretty close. The thinnest point on the female body is usually above the belly button and below the ribcage. The butt is often very pear-shaped, at least on my females, I like it :3

So if you've read this far, or decided it was too long and skipped to the bottom, thanks for your time and if you have any other advice for future artists feel free to add it in a comment.
