gn-a:

Sak Yant or Yantra Tattooing are  believed to give the wearer magic powers associated with healing, luck, strength, and protection against evil.

You can get these here in thailand by a monk, they look beautiful but I’d never recommend it. Essentially, you’re making a pact with a spirit to protect you in exchange for sacrificing an activity or habit you may have previously enjoyed (the monk decides what this is, not you). These tattoos are contracts. 
 Breaking your side of the bargain may encourage the spirit to ‘punish’ you, and these contracts are not easily voided.

heyo!
don’t worry, your english turned out fine, dude.

as a foreword of warning,
it is best that you don’t use this post as a standalone tutorial, 
instead, try to use it as a study aid to help you make sense of real-life references.
(same applies for any decent “art tutorial” out there, really. :p)

bolded numbers correspond to the numbers on this post’s pictures.

ANATOMY TIPS

I was doing a bit of an anatomy study on my livestream and was asked to please post it. 

• The crotch is the halfway point of the body from top of the head to bottom of the feet
• Shoulders to hips = hips to ankles
• Elbows rest at the waist line
• Wrists rest at the crotch line
• Shoulders and breasts/pecks should always be parallel, no matter what angle the shoulders are at
• With boob placement, keep in mind where the collar bone, ribs, and shoulders are.  Breats have muscles that connect to the arm—hence why lifting an arm also lifts the breast corresponding with it.
• Feet are the same length as your elbow to wrist.
• There are two bones in the knee; the cap and a smaller one below it.  You CAN see them and adding that subtle detail is a really nice touch!
• When drawing eyes, keep in mind that you should be able to fit the width of an eye between them
• The face is broken down into thirds; hairline to eyebrows, eyebrows to bottom of the nose, bottom of the nose to chin
• The halfway point of the head is at the eyeline
• The mouth is 1/3rd of the way from the bottom of the nose to the chin
• Ears are from the top of the eyes to the bottom of the nose
• When drawing a 3/4th view of the face, do NOT MAKE THE FURTHEST EYE SMALLER — the perspective is too small to be noticeable unless you are doing extremely accentuated/warped perspective.  The eyebrows, top of the eyes, and bottom of the eyes should all be parallel regardless of the face’s angle.  The only differences should be the widths; front eye should be wider than the further eye.

Knowing the rules to anatomy is important!  Once you learn them, then you can break them. （　≖‿≖）*
