    • @mskiki0908
      @mskiki0908 4 года назад +13

      There are standard proportions, but people often slightly deviate from it. That's why some people have big heads, long legs, big hands, long torsos or short or long arms, etc. Its totally normal lol

  • @boitahaki
    @boitahaki 6 лет назад +16

    I love using the Hale method, using the measure from the top of the head to the nose helps because you can keep up as the head turns.

  • @jamesgsr8587
    @jamesgsr8587 6 лет назад +13

    Always great to get back to basics, this is a really helpful refresher! Those of us who have been drawing for a long time often lose sight of the fundamentals, and our art suffers from it. I'll be bookmarking this vid to come back to next time I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can't wait for the next part!

    • @Swatches
      @Swatches  4 года назад +12

      If it were me, I'd start by picking up some instructional material by Terryl Whitlach. She has been the creature designer on many major movies, and has a collection of excellent educational resources. Check out her videos with Gnomon, thegnomonworkshop.com/instructors/terryl-whitlatch and her books on Amazon, www.amazon.com/Terryl-Whitlatch/e/B001KHYV8E%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share. I think you should find something helpful there, let me know how your project turns out!

  • @loszhor
    @loszhor 2 года назад +1

    To anyone who has purchased his character design book, does it cover the depth of the figure? As in looking at the figure from the profile view on how "deep" it is. Also, does it cover body "widths", as well? And does it have more than just to basic proportion character here? I am indeed interested in in exploring the topic for "fantastic" and "cartoony" figures. And does it show more anatomy abstractions like the neck example?

    • @Swatches

      Not really; it's about character design, what you're talking about is anatomy.

    • @Swatches
      @Swatches  3 года назад +1

      A head length is literally the length of the character's head at whatever size you draw it. Sketch the head, that's one head length, then proportion the rest of the body to match that length/size.

      Hands can be complex, but just like anything else, they are just made up of simple shapes like cubes and cylinders! I always suggest anyone learning to draw hands start out drawing them as sets of cubes, and then gradually round them out as you get more comfortable.

    Is the navel a bit below the waist line at the two thirds mark? Also not sure how to divide the bottom half. Are the knees at the one half mark or one third? Sorry just not clear on those points.

    • @Swatches
      @Swatches  4 года назад +1

      The navel sits two head lengths down from the chin which usually equals being slightly below the thinnest part of the waist. Rule of thumb is that the bottom of the knees land half way down from the crotch to the ground. Check out Andrew Loomis' book on anatomy for full details and breakdown, that's what most of my examples are based on.

    • @Swatches
      @Swatches  4 года назад +2

      As I didn't go to art school, I can't really answer that question. Should you go to art school? I can answer that, and it's "Probably not." Experience has taught me that most artists who come out of art school do not receive an education that makes them employable in the industry. Save the time and the money and find alternate education sources. Take classes from CGMA, Schoolism, and Gnomon.
