Using a chain to understand how to draw the arm. Really interesting and useful to learn how the arm is build and moves. See thread to see more how to draw arm tutorials and the anatomy. 🧵 1/7

I learned a lot from studying the muscles step by step. I still can’t do it out the top of my head. But it helped me understand the arm better. And that helps me to draw the arm better as well. I also like to use these drawings as reference.

Don’t forget to study the back of the arm as well!

And ofcourse the side. You don’t have to remember all the names out the top of your head. But you could write them down when studying, to practice it and being more concious about it.

Rotating the arm. Understanding the bones helps understanding how the arm moves. Don’t forget to look at your own arm as reference.

I mostly draw cartoony. And when I draw my characters I don’t draw every muscle. But I use basic shapes to build it.

I made an anatomy bundle with ebooks and video where I go more in depth about this and more. Use the code “2023” for 25% off any product from my store. Go to

And remember: if you’re struggling to draw a chain, simply imagine you’re drawing an arm.

So that's why Jotaro has this big ass chain

It works.

@RedIzaK the mesh lines really hammer the idea home of using the same guidelines for low poly 3d models, too.

@RedIzaK Yes! I love seeing 3d timelapses as well
