his stiff pose is more dynamic than my dynamic poses i cri everytim
Google what an S curve is
LiNe oF aCTiOn Boi
Line of action doesn’t necessarily improve your pose stiffness owo
Just be more loose you gotta start no being scared of getting the anatomy wrong and get used to drawing really curvy shit, later you learn anatomy but the first step is being loooooooooooose
leik if u cri evrytim
That moment you realize his scribbles are better than your drawings.

Oreo Man uh I hate you
Creepy Crafter wtf is your profile picture
Cat lol you don't wanna know
Because experience.
That's the fusion of a pony, a manga girl and a cow.
Him: body shape head arms torso in 5 seconds Me: ugly cartoon character in 5 hours
Part of the secret is exactly those 5 seconds. He does it fast, he does not pay attention to contours just to the gesture and then he contains the gesture with roughly cilindrical shapes.
just practice drawing body parts or Gestures and you should get faster at drawing it.
That or you will rage in a tantrum of self destruction and violence towards your furniture... either way its going to be fun.

Tiago D'Agostini true
"You just have to be loose."
Oh ok.
*scribbles form a masterpiece*
...
LadyCinnamonBun lmao
LadyCinnamonBun 😂😂
honestly thats what my best stuff came from and then i added details (finished the owl)
@@sickly809 you actually draw the owl first,
then the circles.
i didn't want to make a "parrot" comment so i'll just add mine here
"uh you just have to be loose"
*creates a masterpiece*
*pauses the video, hand on nose and gets frustrated* FUCK
I love how he just starts laughing away at the most random things >.
He was laughing at the butt.
Mhappiwis Butts make me happy aswell!

Okay?!?

Worst drawing session times I've done:
"9-5" - 9pm to 5am
"The Grind" - Working for hours til you become tired of drawing.
"Hit it 'n Quit it" - Stop by, sketch a little, then no more art for the day.
"Staredown" - Just look at the screen/paper until I get an idea
NobleHusky I can relate(all too well)
NobleHusky These look like achievements. I'm adding my own.
"Ok, one more go..." - Redraw the same body part 5 times in a row
"Let me take a Selfie!" - Try to draw using yourself as a reference
"Painter's Face" - Fall asleep while working
"RAAAGE!" - Snap a pencil in frustration.
NobleHusky lol adding mine:
" oh thats a good idea for a drawing...but dont have time right now "
"idea looked good when i imagined it so wtf? "
"finished with the sketch now for color...ugh "
"wrong expression i wanted again "
"its finished... no wait "
TheDestroyer73 "It's finished... no wait" I can relate to that so much it hurts.
The Fictional Realist yeah its painful and then you either improve it or end up messing it up :(
I find it really hard to let loose and just draw sometimes which can be really annoying
i find it really hard to fimd something to draw amd when i do, i suck too much at it
+TehSneahky 28 same
i use random word generators and pull out a few words to focus on like "elephant circus" or "alligator pirate ship" because it gets you to imagine scenes and situations to draw
pretty smart!
jonny56254 hmmmmm......You know what? Im gonna try it
Him: getting realistic poses in seconds
Me: this is, a lanky bean. String boy
Same 😭
String boy lives in his... potato house... with his pet, uh, smaller bean... thing.
I feel like i know this character well
I am not Sean Lock it’s like I’m there..
string boy 😭
drawings get better the more time I've stayed up. Like drawing at 3 am
Same. the best things I've drawn were either at night half asleep or in a very dimly lit room later in the day.. I never understand why.
I've noticed that myself. I think it has to do with how much you're concentrating a lot on doing it "correct" rather than just doing it. It's like you're not holding yourself back as much, just letting the idea flow. Not entirely sure, just an idea!
Same idk why I just want to draw at the most random time
Same 😂
It's odd, I seem to be more motivated with art at night as well.
also the main problem for me, a very amateur artist, is getting the right size arms or hands or legs or shoulders, or especially the right head to shoulder/chest ratio. it looks so ridiculous i want to cry
same here, it's frustrating for sure D:
Use references!! It helps a lot
It take syears of practice to get everything right! just keep practicing and use references!
Hey idk if this helps but I started learning and drawing body proportion not based on such videos (although the tips given are gold) but based on fashion videos that would teach u the very basic of body proportion. So even though I was only a beginner, the instance I watch this video it was already pretty easy for me to grasp and I learnt very fast. Good luck!!!
Same
I really appreciate the "Warm-Up" advice. When I start drawing for the day, the first one is usually horrible - & I always feel as if it is a personal obstacle, but now I see that it is like this for almost every art enthusiast.
Thanks - I will try these loose sketches to get pumped up!
Also: Loved the "Draw-Within-This-Area" tip & The hand placement tip as well
Michelle Wanha
all of the tips were great, they genuinely worked! :'>
It’s 699 I made it 1up
I love how the vid ends so sudden because he had to laugh so much XD
His scribbles are better then most of my ''art'' lols
+TheGamerGirl Just take your time. Skills are acquired by taking the time to draw things correctly imo. Also try to avoid overstylised bodies at first.
+TheGamerGirl if u draw everyday and observe a lot, i think it will seem easier to draw each day, u sorta feel it.

Just a little bit gay

Hahaha, Sycra cracking up at his drawings
Holy, back again two years later. Just wanted to say that this video was the one that helped me seriously improve my art. You teach in a way that's both interesting and easy to understand, and you explained all of the things that I was struggling with as an artist to a t and gave wonderful solutions to those problems. You and your videos helped me so much in becoming the artist I am today, and I genuinely can't believe how much I've improved sometimes. Looking back on my old art, I can actually see the moment when I started watching your videos and the way it influenced my art. Thank you, Sycra. You're awesome!
The first tip alone got me out of the worst drawing slump I've had. I couldn't draw without getting frustrated about how nothing was looking right. I love drawing but it had really felt like I'd lost the connection. After listening to the first tip I grabbed my music, my pencil and paper and just did some practice drawings. It felt awesome to sit down and do that. And then finishing the video has also boosted some stuff. This is a really good video!
I love that he’s laughing during the video it just gives it more liveliness instead of having it be just a boring tutorial.
But even without the laughter this is a great video with great tips. Thank you! 😊
Dude, i don't know why but among all this guides on the internet i've seen, yours are the best :D
Thank you SO much! This has really helped me a lot as I struggle with drawing bodies and people
Same
creepermineh haha, thanks!
11:55 been laughing for 2 days over this!
love that joke you made about running out of space because I can relate all too well...
I did they 4 times on one page...at the same time... during a livestream...
So now I have 4 half poses all over the page... It's on my IG😂😂😂
I'm laughing now, but it wasn't as funny at the time...
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH MY DRAWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STIFF AND LIFELESS AND AFTER WATCHING THIS I IMPROVED ON FLUIDITY AND VIVIDNESS 110% THANK YOU SO MUCH
8:28 what IS that that floats down the left side of screen? Did me a frighten, i thought there was a spider on my laptop lmao
I freaked out too loool!
Capt Ocie omg same XD
Capt Ocie lolol
I was looking fer this comment! XD I didn't even finish the video before looking for it...
Capt Ocie I saw a butterfly lookin thing
Sycra laughing at his own ridiculousness is the best.
I tried not to laugh at last figure at first, but then you drew the same pose from different angle and it became unbearable to hold a laugh, but after that bear hit the scene I just started laughing like crazy.
anyone else see that thing pass at 8:30
I'm so glad I'm not the only one haha, he always has little Easter eggs in his videos
+Kristle-Lynn Ceron Looks to me like a butterfly
+Cornelius Korn sure does!
It’s a butterfly
Raza Kazama obviously
I'm in a life drawing and gesture class right now in college, and let me just tell you that your video has helped me tremendously. My professor is horrible and teaches us by just having us read and it's so hard to learn what I'm supposed to be doing by just reading. So thank you for this. I feel less lost now.
flowy lines seriously helped man. i do stiff and rigid lines but it helped me alot man thanks ^-^
he was trying not to crack up at the end 😂
Twerking grandma for the win! XD Butt in all seriousness, very helpful tutorial! Thank you!
I noticed your pun. You're welcome.
Haha butt xD
(That sounds so childish but idc 😂)
My goodness xD
Honestly for me I’ve been having a really hard time trying to draw as I see so many artists creations and I just want to be as good and it’s just hard lol. But this really helped me to just feel relaxed and create my own piece! Thanks so much!
I love your less-than-technical tips
you were having way to much fun with this haha omg
Cracking up at your giggling at the end. LOL. I don't know if you were laughing about the squatting position or the bear 🐻 but it was pretty funny just hearing you crack yourself up.
God I love this dude, he's very cool and relaxed and he does stuff right but also explains how to do things- but he's serious in a fun way I'm crying at that last one.
another good tip: when finding a reference for a dynamic pose look for it in any video instead of any picture you find. the movement is important. imagine yourself posing like youre running and actually running and taking a picture of it
The ending was unBEARable.
+michaelng97 -_-
michaelng97 fuck you and your shitty pun.
Moth At least it was quick and as painless as possible. It would have been awful if it had been Drawn out...
+Thou Art Potato hey can you take a look at my vids, i make creepy art!
Thou Art Potato go to the corner! you're grounded!!!
when you start to laugh at the pose at the end i can't help but laugh along ohmygod it's adorable
man this is really helpful, one of the first actually helpful drawing videos i've ever seen
this is the most helpful tutorial i have ever seen i've been doing gesture drawings for TWO DAYS and i have already drastically improved like i'm telling every artist i know to watch your stuff
Yeah Sycra just had more fun today than normal
This video literally changed my life, I watched it about 4 days ago and since then I've learned how to be so much looser and flowing. My bodies aren't stiff anymore and I just drew two full body self portraits and they turned out so much better than I could ever create before. Thank you for making this video!
Wow, my eyes are opened! I used to always sketch with straight lines, but the whole curve technique has already helped me so much. My poses look much more lively and it just makes proportions easier for me compared to my old sketching method. Thanks
Omg the hand --> shoulder --> elbow method blew my mind because I struggled with that. Never thought of going in that order. Thank you so much!
every artist says something different
this guy says "dont do a lot of straight lines"
but some other dude i watched said "you need a lot of straight and very few curves."
I guess it is more about what works for you personally
@@maybenotya Definitely
IMO, more curves = better flow, more dynamic.
More straight lines = stiff, boring, unrealistic.
@@dezgasting I know some artists that pull off straight lines well.
One video saying to draw rectangles as chest and hip helped me get the general pose and this one I guess will help me get more flowy. Just combine I guess, that's what I do. Unless you're a professional you can't do masterpiece scribbles like here lol so what he said, be loose and don't expect much, do just that, but you can use straight lines and be loose too, if it helps you know
This is the first tutorial that helped me improve my art this much. Thank you so much!
Awesome advice man. I've been drawing all my life and I've never used basic construction. After trying this, I can say my drawing has improved dramatically. I still struggle with poses and hand placement so this video was a blessing. Thanks dude!
The way you scribble to get a drawing started is my new favorite thing!! this is soooooo dope!
WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE DIPPER FROM GRAVITY FALLSSSS
He does not
Oh my gosh why did you have to bring that to my attention
I can't stop thinking that now 😖
*”Sideways when he’s sick” has entered the chat*
Thank you soooooo much, Sycra! Bravo!
I watched this vid about 3 years ago and was so confused and discouraged. I have been in art college the last two years and have finally come back to see the vid again. Guys, nomadder how discouraged you get don’t give up! It will click eventually!!! Your videos have helped me so much recently.
sycra ive been your fan for five years straight and i just want to say please dont ever delete these videos they give me a lot of help and ive been using your content to practice better for a long time and it helps a lot keep up the good work and i hope all is well
Exactly what I needed right now, thank you!
I love watching your videos, because sometimes I feel like I need a little push to get myself motivated to draw, so thanks.
Also, your voice kinda reminds me of Ross from Friends. I've been trying to figure that out for the longest!
thanks for this video! I've been drawing my whole life and studying art but you gave me fresh tips that i never thought of!
to this day your tips are still more relevant than all the youtubers I have watched, thank you so much for all the effort you put in as well as the encyclopaedia of literally everything I've ever wanted to know
Your laugh is the cutest thing oh my goodness
Your laugh is adorable wtf
so helpful!!!! It is SO easy for beginners to go from point A to point B to C and so on. That was one of the most poignant tips I've heard in a long time. Thanks Sycra! Thanks
Dude all your tips hit home for me, it was really motivating to hear someone else reassure me about drawing especially right now when I'm struggling, thanks for the great video man.
11:57 that face you make when someone steals your memes
Next time I have a bad day, I should just watch this video again. It'll cheer me right up, I think.
i just love how much fun he's having its so nice
This is mind-blowing advice, so simple yet extremely beneficial. I applied all these tips to my figure studies and they worked wonders- like I finally feel a lot more confident in my sketches. Thank you so so so much for making this.
“What do you imagine when you draw Sycra?”
“Squatting nudists.”
“... we’re so proud of you.”
i know you started laghing once you drew his ass
Dude! This is the funniest figure tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you! Lol. The tips helped a lot. The hand before the arm tip was so helpful. It's one of those "Finallyyyy!" kind of tips.
That hand posing tip was my favorite. Amazing stuff.
Haha. I can tell you had a lot of fun near the end there.
your laugh at 9:50 made me laugh too hehe
This may be the most approachable and informative art tutorial channel I've seen in the 3+ years I've been trying to learn how to improve. That or you're using some sort of black magic that negates low attention spans. Either way, I'm liking it.
drawing the poses with curvy lines and not straight, and drawing the model from an other point of wiew to train imagination are two tips I never heard before, and they are just awesome!! Thanks a lot for this video!
“you need to do a warm up drawing”

What was that thing falling down from the left hand side of the screen at around 8:29 ? xD
新入生愚かしい it looked like a butterfly
新入生愚かしい very low opacity^^
Thunder Draws That wouldn't make it look like something was falling down the screen. Sometimes Sycra will put random things in his videos.
新入生愚かしい
I know, I was just pointing out that the butterfly was set to a very low opacity bro
+Taylor Smith It looked like ramen I'm hungry
All really good advice. A pleasure to watch and get your tips.
I always have trouble learning by myself, and I think watching your videos really helps clear things up for me. You're a pretty good instructor
Why I was thinking on We Bare Bears at 12:02?
Anyway very good advice. xD
Seychermanium same!
+Seychermanium lol me too
his personality shows in the way he draws XD Aghhhh
I went into this video rolling my eyes, thinking that it would be one of those "step by step" types of videos (like most are).
In the end, I'm so glad I found this video because it actually helped A LOT! Thank you!
I spend 11 years of art not knowing about warming up, trying to jump into something good and some days getting frustrated and taking a break for a day, a few, etc. I'm glad to run across this. I'm trying to work on making my poses more dynamic and loosen my work up.
Holy shit this is probs one of the most useful vids ive seen
i almost spit my coffee on my laptop when he started laughing XD
Omg thanks your way of guiding is really helpful and this is the first time i feel relaxed while watching a tutorial
These are tutorials are what I need! This is the best help I've got
How tf did you turn some random lines into this. When I tried that it turned out to be a fucking bug
No. GG
10:45 Ok, that is hilarious considering the fact that I have curly hair and wear glasses
I learn something new every time I watch your videos, thanks!
seeing how u do things and what u do actually helps a lot thx so much for ur tutorials ur amazing
Thank you i think i understand life now.
Here in 2017, 2 minutes in "You don't want to go 7 hours straight with no breaks" and my first thought is "Oops." Haaah, should probably really listen to these videos. :x
I would like to thank you for these tips. It improved my drawings quite quickly because of this video.
Omg I'm so glad I subbed to you Sycra. Your laugh is so incredibly infectious! And uh yeah, your tips are super helpful.
