recently I started drawing the torso first instead of the head and I could immediately see the improvement, I always had a problem with proportions so their heads looked way too big compared to the rest of the body
@@jabberjack404 I have also found that it helps my poses feel less stiff, when I start with the torso I already have a pose in mind and I just need to make the head follow the motion while when I start with the head I usually don't know how to follow up
I mean there are things to help you with that most people start with the head and put everything based on the head I think it's a general knowledge due to fact this was the first thing my sis taught me but if your head is 2 cm go 2 cm lower and that is the lower part of the waist 2cm lower belly button 2cm lower the place 2 legs connect 2 cm lower end of the knee 2 cm lower wrist 1 cm lower en of the foot İt's like that it kinda makes things easier to put the person in the weird perspectives and it makes it a lot easier to draw an irl model you can use your pen to get the measure of the head these proportions have changes with the that person's height the proportions I gave is avarage person's height (165~180 ish)
I've been drawing for 7 years and I'm still a beginner. All my life I just heard "practice, practice, practice!" but I never knew *how* to practice. These tips really helped me figure out how I should go about drawing in the first place. Thank you so much.
You and I are in the same boat. I'm trying to learn other than simple exercises. I just practice lines and simple 2d and 3d shapes. Good luck in your art journey
I started learning to draw about 2 months ago and since then I have been looking on the internet for someone to learn from and you turn out to be the most inspiring person
The algorithm dropped me in here randomly after watching one the other art RUclipsrs I follow and I am glad it did. You have great style and explain things well. Looking forward to more of your content. Keep up the good work.
Drawing basic anatomy is such a fundamental and exciting skill in art! It's amazing how understanding the human form can really bring drawings to life. It opens up so many possibilities for creating dynamic and realistic characters. Whether it's for comics, animation, or fine art, mastering anatomy is definitely a game-changer. Keep up the great work in exploring and learning this skill! 🌟🎨
I pulled up my videos and drawing from life, I'll return to those childhood doodles when I can feed them the skills to truly put a smile on my face and share it with people like me
when i first started seriously drawing, i used to be extremely rigid in how i drew my anatomy and would often make rules for myself on how to draw specific body parts, such as torsos or arms. like, what, four years later, i'm mostly out of that mindset and i've been seeing massive improvement of my art, and i recommend younger/less experienced artists do the same :) these videos are great, btw! im looking forward to the next one :D
the way your voice sounds so good to listen to while listening is making me focus and not feel like im missing a lot of what to learn 😭im subscribing!!
All your videos are SO GOOD!! Never thought about starting with the torso first, that makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing such great tips these last 3 videos 😊
For drawing feet you can continue using triangular shapes like you already displayed. It's the same idea with hands. It's all in the shapes. As well as repetition. But you are clearly on the right track so my advice may or may not be helpful?? idk lol! But you got this! 💪Gestures helped me so much in my own drawings too. They truly are a game changer.
Been struggling a lot with gesture drawing; I watched other artists doing it, and noticed some doing torsos first. So I gave it a try.. doing torso and legs first was a huge help for me. I used to start with the head, and that always left me on the wrong footing, so to speak.
Gesture drawing, as important as it is, is THE most difficult thing for me (I hyper fixate and miss the point of the exercise, also have a death grip on my pen). I can see how it can train your eye to catch the important shapes and to learn to improvise, which is both difficult and helpful. 😅Good tips, and your studies look really good. I have subscribbled.
Fantastic work! 3 videos in such a short amount of time and all with fantastic quality! Please don't burn yourself out. I would definitely love to see more and see where your channel goes!
Ngl when I was a kid and tried to draw anatomy I always thought that using reference photos was cheating 🤦♀️💀 And once I heard from another artist that its not cheating and its a way to learn anatomy I fr was like: 👁👄👁 ... w h a t- 💀💀😢 So from the age of like 8 to 15-16 I can't remember exactly, I thought reference photos were cheating 💀💀💀 Like- R.I.P 😭😭
Im still wondering tho if its cheating using a pics of drawn anatomy (like in the video)🤔, like when i want my art to look really good i pull up from pintrest drawn anatomy, chose a pose i like and redraw it on my paper
@@ivankadebeljak3957I don’t think you can really cheat in art. If it helps it helps. I kind of do the same thing and use Pinterest but I’m starting to use actual people more. Whatever helps. ❤
Wish there were more tutorials focusing on limbs, especially legs - they are complicated and nobody really goes into a nice formula on how to draw them. Nice video.
@6:03 is the start of a profound statement, this is going to be a lot of mind over matter.he said with his mouth he gets nervous with hands, while drawing some pretty good hands seemingly effortlessly.thanks for the tutorial fam.
this is really helping for my art. I'm still in the "starting with the head" stage, and my earlier art would look a little bobble-heady but I'm getting better at it now with males but I do make some mistakes with giving them a very small head and huge body. other than that my posing has improved in under a year. A lot of other artist I know still have trouble with hand, but for me I would use my right hand as a referents *I'm a lefty* and I'm very good at it so far but there is always to improvement. thank you for the help man.
Ayoo, I got pretty excited to animate to because of the upcoming release on procreate dreams as well. So I’ve been pushing myself to my limits to try and get anatomy nailed down.
@@AnimeCharlie exactly. Also if you want a good course my suggestion would be Coloso. They have great anime animation courses and overall drawing courses.
On point!! Learning to observe through shapes can help with drawing everything!! Also not related, but your voice sounds really nice!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Hands!! I hear ya. I struggle with 'em... often leaving them til last because every time I draw a hand I "quit" art, for like, a couple hours. Great vid! I like your style.
Man this is just a great ass video. I say that as I've come to the conclusion recently of shapes really truly are everything and seeing that point being so stressed and applied puts that more in perspective for me
I enjoy your videos. They are well executed, thoughtful and informative. Your content is highly relevant and helpful. You also have a great voice for narration. Excellent all around.
I still struggle to not just try to copy what I see onto paper, which always comes out wonky, but the figure drawing class I took a few years ago really helped with gesture drawing. After a while it can even be fun to just do that.
I too am a very lazy artist. Great video, looking forward to more! And I always start with the head and draw tiny legs (and will now try starting with the torso)
About drawing shoes: In Pikat's: video "How to UPGRADE your character designs" minute 11:09 she goes into sketchfab and rotates some 3D Nike shoes until they are in they are in the perspective she needed them she took a screenshot and used it as reference. I think that's a great idea and can probably be extrapolated to other intricate props or items. Awesome video by the way.
I’ve only subscribed to a 4-5 different art channels over the last decade and all of them have gone from less than 10k to at least 500k subs. This is one of those channels I’m sure. Keep up the good work brother.
well that didnt age well. (im not trying to be rude lol i just noticed when i came here for some practice and i was like dayum this is underrated so i looked at the comments and saw urs)
I just came across your new Channel here. Nicely done! Your drawings are amazing. I’ve been in the Animation Industry for 39 years. I always spend my down times going back to basics. The basics are the best foundation to keep moving forward. All the best!
My anatomy i've been practicing for a year and im very happy with my results sadly i'm having trouble with shoulders for some reason it's like I forgot how to draw them, I use to draw a basic circle but it's not working anymore 😭
I just recently discovered your channel and you talk exactly about what I am struggling with. I was, still kinda am insecure about what I simple shapes I should use for things like torsos, or just figures in general. Yknow, seeking reference on social media is difficult bc everyone takes a different approach, for example someone's choice of basic shapes always confuses me; "Should I use this or that?" Then comes applying anatomy to gesture drawings and applying anatomy on a figure built with basic shapes and alllll of that. You're going into this so well please keep it up man. My sub is yours
a method that they taught me at fashion school is to make the head and then repeat it 7/8 or even 9 times so if your head is 3 centimeters long make 3 centimeters 9 times and divide everything into sectors and then in the first sector there will be the shoulders and then in the third there will be the hips and then in the middle of the remaining sectors there will be the knees then in the last sector the feet. this is a method that the ancient Greeks also used to proportion their bodies
Hello Brother! I Don't get to meet too many of Charles/Charlie's around. I'm glad to have you! It's good to know there are some Charlie's still in the world!
Im gonna go into highschool next school year and im gonna take a drawing class and a mindful art class so i was hoping to get my drawing and painting skills better for the classes bc i dont wanna be like the only one there that sucks at drawing and painting
for shoes i try to get an idea of how the feet will be shaped. then i usually figure the shape of the sole and then i draw the shoe and how it would fit onto the foot
bro i am really fkd up how u got that clear drawing with the brush i could not abled to get that type of clear drawings my lines get blurry at the end and really sad those sketchy lines are looking so good.
OMG just tried starting with the torso and wtf, how didn’t I hear this before? Huge impact and makes things so much easier!! This changes EVERYTHING for me. Tho would love some advice for “indicators” of how to “see” the box for the torso in perspective. Struggling a lot - using the collar bone is easy in some. But some poses aren’t ideal for that. What’s your “orientation”?
Gesture drawing is so hard for me!!!! It’s extremely frustrating. Especially when I’m just staring as an artist. I know it’s the most basic thing to learn how to draw but it seems like I can’t even do that which is very discouraging

recently I started drawing the torso first instead of the head and I could immediately see the improvement, I always had a problem with proportions so their heads looked way too big compared to the rest of the body
I’ll have to try that. Yeah often times I start with the head, sketch the rest of the body, then have to resize the head bc it’s too big/small
@@jabberjack404 I have also found that it helps my poses feel less stiff, when I start with the torso I already have a pose in mind and I just need to make the head follow the motion while when I start with the head I usually don't know how to follow up
Drawing the torso is so incredibly hard for me but atleast I can draw from under the shoulders now…
I mean there are things to help you with that most people start with the head and put everything based on the head
I think it's a general knowledge due to fact this was the first thing my sis taught me but
if your head is 2 cm go 2 cm lower and that is the lower part of the waist 2cm lower belly button 2cm lower the place 2 legs connect 2 cm lower end of the knee 2 cm lower wrist 1 cm lower en of the foot
İt's like that it kinda makes things easier to put the person in the weird perspectives and it makes it a lot easier to draw an irl model you can use your pen to get the measure of the head these proportions have changes with the that person's height the proportions I gave is avarage person's height (165~180 ish)

I really like your diversity in body types and shapes. makes your figures look distinct and unique
Man you’re chill as hell, literally just found your channel and already found your tips very useful
good stuff. 2D and 3D shapes are what it's all about. People are just organic shapes put together in perspective and proportion!
This guys voice is so soothing.
by far the best help ive gotten from a video ever, thank you.
love it thank you! The information was presented well and I’ll be coming back for more tutorials!

I've never thought about drawing the torso first, will def be trying that one! I hope it gets rid of the problem where I always make the head too big

So glad i found this channel before he totally blows up. Your style and tips are amazing man! PLEASE! Keep making these lol
