这让学习解剖学变得容易十倍（毫不夸张）

At the end of this video, you're going to see  what's going on in the figure with more clarity   than you could before. Now, that's a big claim! At the end of the video, leave a comment, let me know if we achieve that. we are going to look at the pelvis, this massive structure inside the figure. it's hugely important for the gesture, it's hugely important for the anatomy, for the forms but it's also horribly complicated. The shape of it is a nightmare shape! Now, I have a little confession for you. Don't tell anyone, but I have a YouTube channel about life drawing, I'm making a video about  the pelvis and I haven't studied the complex shape very much at all. So we're just going to bypass a lot. Like, what's that bit? I don't know! We're going to bypass a lot of that complexity and really focus on the things that are going to help us to draw better just like we did with the rib cage, but we're going to take even more liberties than we did with the rib cage. At least with the rib cage, what we learned kind of matched the shape of the rib cage. But we're going to deviate even more. You know the 80/20 rule? Where for various things,   80% of the value, 80% of the benefit   comes from just 20% of the effort or  20% of the work. In this case, it might be 90/10. 10% of the information about the pelvis is going to give us 90% of the drawing benefits. So before the anatomy police come  and arrest me, let's give you that 10% The first thing to do is figure out what angle  the pelvis is on. Is it angled like this? Like this? Or is it flat and horizontal? If we're looking at  it from the front, we're going to check the ASIS points. So what are the ASIS points? you can think of the pelvis as having an opening around the top   but the bony bit, the actual pelvis bone, doesn't  go all the way around. So if you feel   the front of you, it's kind of soft at the tummy,   there's no bones there, but you come out to   the sides, there's these bony bits here that kind  of stick out from the pelvis. those are the   ASIS points.
