    An art tip;
    Whenever people ask me “how do you draw”
    As opposed to saying “Just practice🤗”, I have them draw something as they would normally. Then, I got through them and target specific things that they can work on, then go look at references, and target specific things as opposed to just saying EVERYTHING I draw sucks, which overwhelms you very very quickly.
    Hope this helps😅😊

    Okay so quick art tips that have significantly improved my confidence in my art:
    - when filling your sketchbooks, let it all loose. Draw whatever comes in ur mind, dont stay stuck in trying to have the perfect lines , just do what ur heart desires. (unless your sketchbook is a portfolio for school i guess?)
    - draw in pen sometimes
    - experiment with different mediums; u dont even have to spend a lot of money, just grab the cheaper versions, and if u like some, consider investing in it!
    - dont be afraid to use bright colors
    - when u finish a drawing, dont dwell on it for too long, if u like it as soon as u finish it, leave it at that! we as artists tend to be way to harsh on our skills, so give yourself a pat on the back for finishing that piece eh?

      lol tbh I actually use boxes but loosely. for some reason, when I try to use the bowl for the pelvis I still muddle up the directions, so sometimes drawing the centre lines or light boxes helps me. but I do it super lightly and kind flowy, because like he said, you don't want it stiff.

      3d boxes really work for me because it helps me visualise the body in a 3d form more than a flat circle. though i do need to be really careful or else things would be too stiff. I feel if you learn to apply this technique correctly it can go a long way, but do whatevers best for you☺

    I have a art tip: make sure to take breaks sometimes. I draw almost every single day and I just got overwhelmed from trying to complete my sketchbooks, and now I have to take a break because drawing so much physically hurt my hand. and its good to take breaks and do other hobbies like finish that video game that you really like before the next in the series comes out, or watch you tube for 10 housr like I am going to do for the next couple of days.

    i use the box method in my characters for one reason. to figure out the perspective. you can put the actual shapes in the boxes. personally, i use the box method in tandem with the egg/oval method. i learned this from the book Sketching People by jeff mellem. I also try to keep my sketches rough and loose so i can get the shapes to be natural, even though it goes against a lot of what pro artists tell people to do, i found my art suffering in quality when i try to clean up my rough sketches to just a few lines.

    My art tip:
    Do warmups first before you start your drawing! I found that my second drawing ALWAYS looks a ton better so i started to doodle/sketch on a page before i actually start my drawing.

      Also before that drawing warm up, do a physical stretch warm up! If you plan to draw for long hours, Stretch your hands, arms, wrists, and body before you start drawing and stretch again every hour or two. It’s like stretching your legs before running a marathon.

      There’s a fine line between chicken scratching and stroking your pen. Beginners usually chicken scratch because they tend to imitate professional artists on how they move their hands when sketching. For amateurs, it might look like they’re just creating a bunch of line one after another carelessly, but what they’re actually doing is that they’re connecting their previous line to the next line in order to create a form. I don’t know what technique you’re using for your sketch, but I’d suggest drawing more big lines in a small amount of strokes, rather then small lines in various strokes. This is how most professionals are able to make their art look natural and realistic^^

    No boxes I agree, I'm trying to learn anatomy whenever I boxes to draw torso or more specifically Ribcage and Pelvis using box as base will give you very stiff body shape because you (a beginner) don't have enough experience to understand where to draw lines in that box. So my advice is to draw ribcage directly not every single bone but a oval also from different angles it is not always oval so make sure to study reference properly and figure out how to break down ribcage using simple ovals.

    3:35 While it is true that boxes aren't in the human body, they do help with getting the correct angles, because boxes have planes, spheres and egg-forms don't, but the thing is, you need to add the rib cage and the pelvis afterwards as spheres and eggs, because like you said, it'll feel stiff without them

    • @The-Determined-Ninja

      I personally like making my construction lines with a simple shape, more similar to the overall shape of an actual rib-cage (in the case of the torso) with just some cross lines as an additional guide if need be. "Drawing the form before the details" rather than being super angular in _form_ just creating the foundation the actual body then working from there. So I think there's some validity to what he's saying there.

    • @emmacarena7103
      @emmacarena7103 3 года назад +16

      yeah you're right ! Its way easier to draw boxes in perspective first that ribcages and other complexes shapes
      i remember a drawing when I was trying to draw some wendigo monster stuff in a epic low angle perspective. after struggling trying to get the limbs shoulders right, i just drew a cylinder and then the shoulders and limb in it was way easier it was magic.

    • @sunnyh4570
      @sunnyh4570 3 года назад +10

      This! I use boxes to map out WHERE I need my ribcage and hips to be. Afterward I draw them in over my boxes as well as the head, it’s definitely a great process if used correctly, I’ve seen many great artists use it.

    • @mayacold8263
      @mayacold8263 3 года назад +2

      I use funky quadrilaterals, sticks and tiny joint circles for structure, but I rely on my knowledge of the body parts' shapes to get the silhouette down. When it comes to perspective, I never use 3D shapes but I just add ONE perspective plane on the front-most surface as reference! Keeping guides minimal while relying on instinct for the form makes me more aware of the human body and its fluidity :D "as long as it looks right!"

    • @lucianaproano4109
      @lucianaproano4109 3 года назад +5

      Actually, no. The thing is that the first step of drawing the human figure is gesture, and in order to do so you need fluid lines. I have seen that most of the artist use circles and curvy lines for gesture, so using a box at the beginning will make it stiff. To show perspective in spheres and cylinders I recommend using wraping lines following the desired angle. If you do, however, want to use boxes, I suggest drawing them over the gesture always taking in account the movement of the pose.

  • @kenjutsukata1o1
    @kenjutsukata1o1 3 года назад +138

    Okay, let me make a case for boxes: they can be really useful for figuring out 3D space. It's way easier to draw a 3D box than most other 3D shapes. Once the box is in place, it can be used to know where to add the curves and such. For example: I find it far easier to add the curve of the rib cage to a box than to draw the curved rib cage in a void. Naturally any box-like bits that remain are removed from the final image. You could argue I'm adding more steps than necessary, but for someone like me who really struggles with perspective and 3-dimensionality boxes are a lifesaver.

    • @lucianaproano4109

    I totally agree with your criticism of "the box method" that people are using to map out anatomy- I think it CAN be a really good tool for beginners to get used to picturing a figure as a 3d shape when drawing, rather than a 2d flat representation. A better iteration that I stand by is "the beanbag" (some people call it a flour sack i think?), which is more accurate to the shape and balance of a real torso while keeping the same idea.
    Although as long as someone is using it for mapping and planning a pose and not treating it as The Final Body Shape... I guess it works!

    I wanna encourage younger artists to go buck wild with expirimentation and to not worry at all about keeping a consistent art style. for me experimentation keeps things fun and fresh, and limiting experimentation means limiting improvement. it's completly normal for art styles to change a bunch, and to have multiple art styles at once. please just allow yourself to be free and allow your hand to do what it wants every now and then (or all the time if that's your style), it's completely ok to do so and you will probably be a lot happier in art

    i can vouch for the ribcage thing. i used to draw them like boxes, but recently i started kind of making the curves at the bottom like a real ribcage and it has insanely improved the dynamism of my drawings. i still kind of make them a little boxy especially at the top rather than rounded for stylistic purposes, but yea.

    the best art tip to improve dramatically over a short period of time is to trace over real pictures as many times as you want (like once or twice for example) then try to redraw what you traced while looking at the traced version and the image that was traced, this worked really really well for me. it has to do with muscle memory, i like to manipulate the thing i learned into different angles just to make sure i actually learned what i was doing.
    i saved few months of hard practice within an hour or two tbh, if someone wants to try this method tell me, i'd like to know if it works for others too.
