    Lots of people ask me how to draw figures without my 4-step method using tracing paper. This is my preferred method of sketching figures. Whether I manipulate the drawing later to create a fashion croquis, or spend another hour detailing anatomy, this is how I start: by analyzing angles and proportions.

    • @Dailylilyful
      @Dailylilyful 5 лет назад

      you can scan your small sketch, blow it up using software and print it to draw it. With digital art which is what I do I also tend to draw small thumbnail sized sketchy sketches and blow them up and refine them as I go

  • @mikekazz5353
    @mikekazz5353 5 лет назад +1

    I like this method of using light pastels and charcoal for the gesture I think I'll use this, it makes the whole sketch look a little more clean maybe I'll use light colored pencils and a brush pen for my next practice session, and if Zoe See's this thanks for the tip this'll help up many others' drawing game.

  • @endrehalasz
    @endrehalasz 5 лет назад +1

    Hi, I like this video on this topic but I miss two REALLY important things (for drawing students and amatours) BEFORE angle and proportions.
    1. Gesture
    2. Enveloping
    I have learned, that if I do not draw gesture, I miss the dynamic of the figure.
    I have learned that I need enveloping to simple main shapes and not to make huge mistakes in sizes.
    However I find it very difficult to develop a drawing in this order: GESTURE -» ENVELOPING -» PROPORTIONS and I cannot see these steps in your video neither.
    What do you think?

  • @nicholasgreen9836
    @nicholasgreen9836 5 лет назад +1

    I found this incredibly usefull, *instant sub!* I've been slowly grasping gesture, lines of action, motion ect but my proportions suck.
    This has given me a new way to slow down and think about measurements without loosing that gestural flow.
    thankyou!

    @shadethedon8351 4 года назад

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to drawing, not even capable of drawing an Apple but ... As i'm trying to learn where to start i found a lot a tone of video ondine and this is the FIRST time i saw someone drawing in a so analytic way !!! Your cognitive slide is AT LEAST impressive !!! I'm totally aware of Andrew Loomis, Steve Hudson, Michael Mattesi and Michael Hampton but now that i see how easy and organize you are i would like to ask you if you can only give me one book to learning figure drawing from which one would it be ? Even if i'm still have to teach my brain to do not interfere with my eye so i can " see " and draw what i see, i still would like to when pasted that obviously keep going on a good starting point. Thanks for your answer ( french forgive my english ) amazing video.
