One skill to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Glad someone caught it! :D
Well... it should be "in the negative space, bind them."
Three for the brushes on canvas they fly
Seven for the grey tones and the forms they hone
Nine for the colours to catch the eye
One for the skill earned through blood and bone
In the darkness sketch them
@@IamHattman in the field of canvas where sketches lie
Love how we go through these exercises only for our muscles and brain to go "I really feel like doing this-" and boom, after time of long and dedicated practice - we just go ahead and lay down our ideas. Our brains and bodies are so weird...
Right? I think with enough practice this could even come to fruition in about 2-6 months even for a beginner. I'd say it might be easier if one never drew before as they don't have to get rid of bad habits
I once took a figure study class with Karl Gnass, and he referred to this as "physical empathy" The ability to apply physical feeling to the understanding of form and foreshortening
@@DrownedPirate Love the analogy!
Might have been beneficial if could here you over music. Really hard with hearing aid.
100% agree. At one point during my art journey I realised I started to be able to "mold" forms using lines, as if I was sculpting out the object itself, was when I realised I have finally understood what many art tutors/teachers have said all the while. *You have to think in 3D*. And once you're able to do that, that's one big obstacle done. The next big mountain after that is rendering 😢
Blobs and boxes that bend.
And bisections halfway to the end.
You got it boss.
I'll be the next Bob Ross.
And all thanks to you, my friend.
You got this!
Lol the next Bob Ross
Thank you for the reminder that building a solid foundation is pivotal. I'm still learning the basics and sometimes it can get discouraging like you'll never get better at this thing you REALLY wanna be incredible at. So these vids are a little light in the dark tunnel of drawing mastery.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude as someone who's always wanted to get into drawing but never really tried. This single video has got me started, you made things click on a fundamental level and gave that initial easy blueprint for starting out and practicing. Thank you so much!
Hey! So happy to hear that!
FINALLY. I came across so many art videos that says "just train by drawxing 3D shapes in different orientations, then cut them and manipulate them" but I was like "HOW DO I DO THAT", now with this video with simple steps / level, I see better what I can do! Thank you SO, SO MUCH.
Glad it helped! If you still have trouble, I will have another one more specific (a quick tip) coming out in about 10 days
@@theartofnemo Also, I have a question : in order to realise the blob exercise or the boxes exercise, don't we need first to learn how to properly draw blobs or boxes in perspective before doing these exercises? Or is it not a big deal and we can "improvise" and then learn later how to properly do it?
@@umbertus it depends from person to person, I think once you know some very basic perspective it should be pretty easy
I also had a moment like this because even though I would draw, say a rock, and correctly place the shadows and structure values, the image still felt flat. It dawned on me that when we turn a 2D circle into a shaded sphere, we wrap our terminator line around the shape of the sphere in what feels like a 3D sense and suddenly you get that accurate illusion of 3D.
With Toriyama, his shading didn't need to be insanely detailed, it was very simple and yet his images still felt 3D just because he wrapped the lines/used shadows to accurately depict 3D form. That in of itself proves the idea, you don't need fancy shading tricks to get the illusion of 3D.
Also, your art work is absolutely amazing, your dragon thumbnail was so sick which is why I clicked the video. Good content.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment.
And yeah, Toriyama was really a genius in this, also when he was working purely with linework. He was just so good at choosing the best spots to add wrapping lines :D
FLAT IS BAD!

lol! I see where you're going :D
I can't begin to muster your low number of subscribers, this right here will be my *HOLY GRAIL* for mastering drawing, from now on. My dream is to design characters for videogames. Thank you so much.
Subbed for life. ✏️
Oh wow thank you! And good luck for your dream!
Check out Anthony Jones, Jama Jurabaev, and/or Tyler Edlin to learn good design after/while you're getting comfortable drawing. Enjoy the trip. 🚀
I dont get why this video hasn't much much more likes. Maybe Is it to abstract for people to get how valuable the advice here is? Its 100% not as cool as drawing you favorite anime Charakters, but in the long run you will be an better artist by practicing stuff like this. Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you for your kindness and support!
Could be, youtube is mostly fancy stuff nowadays :D I prefer fundamentals and core, hard skills
it's mostly because most people on youtube watch video's on the side without really paying attention therefore forget to hit the like button before the video change ^^
also, it is definitely helpful to learn how to draw anime as well :D
More views, more views....damn, wtf is wrong with people today
@@thomassmartphone7125 ?
Drawing form is the #1 thing I struggle with and it's ofc the #1 thing you need to know how to do to draw believable pictures 😭
You're not alone! I also always struggled with it
@@theartofnemo always ? Do you still struggle with it ?
@@tonyanimations5377 ah, no, I meant to say "I used to struggle with it, mainly, and for a long time". I phrased it wrong, my bad
@@theartofnemo np ! Thanks for clarifying
personally what helped me the most was learning 3d modeling
+1 for that, it helps a lot!
I went into this fully expecting another "the most important skill is perspective" video. I was very pleasantly surprised. I could never get form to click for me, but this video was the closest I got.
Happy to help!
DAAM I like you man ! for giving this type of info for free
My pleasure!
starting my drawing journey now, and I gotta say....this video explains shapes and 3d planes better than a lot of the videos i've watched, saving this video for reference! Thank you so much dude!
Glad I could help!
I've been practicing rendering alot recently and can definetely say that form is 100% important. Real life is a 3 dismensional world that peaks as natural when we see such good form. Kim Jung Gi as a kid was able to see and draw things in 3d, which was monumental as his pieces work feel so real as you said in the video. Thanks for the insightful video! :))
Thanks to you for watching! Yeah Kim Jung Gi made it a point for one reason :D it's absolutely fundamental
Holy SMOKING BULLETS!!!! Tying years of theory and knowledge in one video and describing what I been feeling clearly!!!!
Glad it helped! :D
Forms, shapes, etc., the basics are so important for the final result!
I said this on another one of your vids, but it really does seem like a game changer. I've been drawing on and off all my life and I've taken seveeal drawing courses and I've never seen this. I'm totally incorporating this into my drawing practice. thanks so much.
oh, and this vid inspired me to subscribe, so I'll be seeing more of you.
Thanks for the sub!
I just wanted to say thankyou for making this video. For awhile I gave up on drawing cause I wasn't improveing at all no matter how much I drew. So I kinda gave up and focused my efforts on sculpting. But ever since I watched your video I've been doing what you've said and my drawing has improved more in the past few weeks then it has in year or so. I think this is what I was missing.
Oh wow I am happy it helped that much!
Really great video. I'm doing the blobs and I discovered that creating meshes was a little bonus practices. Something like, try doing a wire framy cloth at rest. Then doing it like the cloth was covering a ball or distorting the mesh in different ways, like a folded corner or someone pushing it from below. It makes it easy to feel the 3d of it. Will continue to boxes afterwards...
That is incredibly useful, yes. Especially when studying drapery, it gives you a solid understanding of the surface before you even start shading
You have my full attention 👀💖 really like how you explain, and indeed a truly one skill to rule them all!
Thank you so much!
I didnt know I am doing the same but I started doing on lvl 3.. and yes it is really helpful to everything that yoi draw
Any level is fine really, as long as you are always playing right outside the edge of your comfort zone!
I never learnd that in any class i have just drawn for years and a lot, and at some point i just noticed that when i draw i can actually feel the 3D form of what I'm drawing almost like I'm sculpting my drawings and it feels really good and now after watching this video i understand what that feeling is😁
That's great!
This is actually pretty inspiring and the exercises looks really helpful
I hope it helps!
As a total non-artist, I'm definitely going to have to try this out.
I find that when drawing from life, sitting close to your subject helps a lot because you can more clearly tell what is close to you and what is far away from you, and it can help you develop this skill better. When you draw from photos, the photo tends to flatten the image and you end up copying outlines rather than feeling the forms.
This is also my excuse when I impulse bought 3 anime figurines at my local convention 😂 drawing practice amirite
Approved! :D Always sit in the front row
My human drawing vastly improved when I started drawing wire frames. This is true. Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
1:15 *...Around it...* Bro, you sounded like Luke Skywalker from the BOBF - series , just like he said to Grongu "Feel The Force Around you". Damn, that is an amazing allusion. Great video~
Haha thanks! Totally unintentional
@@theartofnemo You are welcome :) Imaginative Power or Creativity is what I compare with the Jedi / Sith's "Force". Pretty similar, to think of it.
This was great - thank you so much for this!
talking about drawing boxes gave me PTSD lol since I did a lot of them from drawabox lessons... I really like your advice I also like the cube rotation I started doing that and it's fun, thank you so much Nemo ❤
Don't sweat it :D take a break if you need!
This is the art tutorial I've been looking for
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you
Happy to help!
I remember learning from Mike Mattesi's Force Drawing about making the form into bread slices
That's a great book, highly recommended
Surprisingly helpful! thanks Nemo
Happy to help!
Me: I am having trouble understanding how step 1 increases your 3D awareness
RUclips: There is now a level 0.
Fun fact, I wanted to call that level 0 lol
@@theartofnemo After trying it yeah, it feels like level 0 since you don't do much other than attempting to break down stuff and if you choose reference from people who also don't understand 3D forms it won't bear fruit
I guess I just needed to know the exercises for applying 3D thinking to drawing. I’ve always been bad at making my hands put down what I want, even though I can imagine what it is I’m trying to draw, the textures, bends, rotations of it, like a mental repository of animations and multiple medias so I get very frustrated when I can’t get my idea out.
Some notes ima jot down here
Think in 3d more consistently even if it makes my head hurt
Actually do exercises in video 😅
Learn about lines and why are they shakey or chicken scratch ((I have intentional tremors, it’s when my hands shake doing precise movements (like drawing))
I don’t understand tracing tho, like the rock just baffles me, like how does a wireframe work with a square-ish shape?
How do the shadows or textures even come from that? Maybe the wireframes are just to train the shape more? Then why not just skip that and go for textures and shadow? Am very confused
Manipulate shapes in 3d with wireframes, cut in half, bending shapes with maybe one or more cuts in differing angles on said shape, like snaking blobs with cuts, or protrusions…
Then do last step bc I feel gutsy and it would be cool ((do one subject at a time, like a plant but rotated maybe with lights to tell which side it’s at?, or a trash can, a person idk but keep it one per session(?))
With all this in mind I know how to do none of this, wish me luck :P
At this stage you are not concerned with textures. You just have to go over the surface as if it's real and 3d... Which is harder than it seems on a photo. If you can do that, then you can start using photo reference the proper way, otherwise you will end up copiyng it pixel by pixel
I have the most amazing character designs imagined in my head. Hopefully soon i can get them out on paper. Attempts have been made but theres lots of room for improvement. I must get my skill boxed in😏
You can do it! What have you tried so far?
@@theartofnemo well, havent yet applied these techniques to my drawings yet. Work has been keeping me busy🙄
But my characters are mostly robotic beings that are complex in design. And the moment i try to draw them on paper, the details look fine but the shaping of the bodies look flat. I struggle with perspective and angles. And dont even attempt the ones with multiple arms. Well not yet anyway. I feel that no matter what, when it comes to drawing, you just gotta get good. I will get good just wait😉
@@CaveBoss hmm angles? How accurately can you copy something simple, like 2d? It might be worth double checking, cause often lack of accuracy in 3d space comes from a general lack of accuracy
@@theartofnemo oh yeah i need to get good for sure🙂
As someone who uses blender a lot this helps drawing
oh cool a new tutorial maybe I can stop warmin up with boxes
Nemo: WELCOME TO AMAZON
lol!
You can warm up rotating characters around now lol
@@theartofnemo yaaaay lol
Neat... Now i can draw Mario and Sonic making out. Thanks man
Great video. My anatomy is not good so hopefully this will improve!
You can check out the basic anatomy video for that, as well :)
Woah, this might just be the game changer
you are a great teacher thank you ❤❤❤
You sir have opened my eyes therfore you earned my sub
Thank you! :D
Actually the exact video I needed
Glad you liked it!
I have huge problems understanding shapes and I am stuck on the loomis head as we speak. I will try your method. Thanks!
Good luck!
Before watching vid: it's forms isn't it?
After watching vid: yep, it was forms.
Good guess! Yet, you'd be amazed by how many people think it's rendering
If you want exercises, draw a box has those lesson.
Oh yeah, that's a really good resource! Though I find it really goes too much into the technicality of it (for my personal taste). I actually did his challenges a few years ago
Nice video clear explained
Wow! Actually good and useful art tips? Thanks, man! Liked + Sub
Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful :)
Excellent video, Excellent!!!!
Thank you!
Very fascinating video, thanks a lot! I don't know if it's possible, but could you perhaps recommend certain books where some of these steps or levels are also explained? Also, do you consider making a more in-depth tutorial about how to trace cross sections and the "feel" on photographs? For example, it seems that by tracing photographs this way, to know how some of these cross sections are to be placed depends a bit on an underlying perspective grid that must be constructed in advance by seeing where the horizon line and possible vanishing points might be. At least for more accurate cross sections this might be useful, but perhaps that's not the exact point of getting the "feel" 😊
Hey, thanks for your comment!
Hmm I am not sure about books honestly, but the best program I know that focuses on this is, at the moment, Art WOD. ( it's quite cheap)
For cross section, I purposefully try to not use perspective grids, because the point is mainly to "make them up". It takes a bit of trial and error, but the horizon line can really be guessed by looking at the photo. Your best guess is fine, because you will notice if it's wrong, and then be able to correct it
Instructions unclear. Cut my finger off to see the cross section of my hand. Now I can't hold my pencil to draw
Ouch! Lol
Fantastic video man
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video sir thank you 🙏
As the master Bruce lee once sead don't think feeeel
lol, did he? I remembered "Be like water, my friend" and fearing the man who practiced 1 kick 1000 times
My art is revolutionized.
I can draw anything😊
I can draw anything ☠️
This shi is hard as hell for me coz i have aphantasia so i end up brute forcing it lol its getting better tho
Kudos for trying! Yeah actually I have a friend with aphantasia and I was thinking about it when recording the video. I wanted to include a bit about it but in the end it was getting long and I left it out
This is a skill I need to time to polish.
Got it, drawn potatoes every day, mash em, stick em, punch em, rotate them one day i can draw a good looking potatoe
That's the gist! You should write my scripts lol
holy shit... I'm just drawing that rotating cube - that is actually really hard (had the feeling before that this would be kinda easy for me - don't know why)
Nah it IS hard :D just takes time
My draws always feels planes 😅 i need to shadow them 😅😅😅 i need to practice more boxes 😢 great video! ❤
You can do it!
"One skill you need to draw anything" + "I can't do that" = very inspiring, sensei =P
The tips are good though. =)
Can be trained though
I've been going too fast. im following 4 separate courses at the moment and the one that starts from zero mentioned almost exactly these exercises but i dropped them after like a week. Gonna hunker down and spam these for hopefully at least the next few weeks, ideally few months but ill probably burn out and go back to anatomy, relegating boxes to warmups. :)
You can train them at the same time really, by focusing on simple forms and spatial awareness :)
@@theartofnemo i'm already seeing improvement a day later, these are great! I think i was focusing on contour lines rather than the 3d form of objects, now my simplified mannequins look more human than my figure drawings from a few days ago!
Very insightful!✨
Glad it was helpful!
@@theartofnemo Very helpful! Thank You✨
My guess that skill is: drawing
Edit: I was right
? No, it's spatial awareness
Whats with that edit? You were wrong.
@@neuropath6465 I identify as being right
well done
I think about the design of the spider man character and how the lines contour around the figure.
Yep..Awesome Great Great protocol. I also watched the other guys video on form manipulations.. how to splice or cut through squares e cylinders to get necks and horns..(forgot the guys name but look him up it’s great) The practice of “griding” things to get the 3d and perspective “feel” and rotating shapes.. yeah you want lots of sugar in your tea, or vitamins e juice.. for sure something cuz’ for reals.. your brains gonna be pumping iron like at the gym going through this exercises 🎉 Yet It Totally Totally WORKS.. going through this sequences is what’s helping feel like I can actually draw and envision what I want to make from imagination.. like it just totally makes your mind and neurons start clicking together.. I mean it this sequencing of exercises will totally help.. plus it’s very…entrancing? Therapeutic even.. if you want to put your mind into something and forget about the world for a while.. set a clock for an hour or so e Just Focus on doing this excercises
You might be referring to my friends at Art WOD :D
Must get good 😵💫 Must get good 😵💫
There's Level 99, and then there's Level "James Baxter".
That cannot be reached lol
I can't do the first exercice because i don't have a tablet 😥
I mean, i have one but 2 Go of RAM won't lead me very far (i tried every art app and they just lag or crashes 😑)
However i will do the other exercises of sure ! Thanks, i just hope the first one was't too important.
You can totally do that on paper too
@@theartofnemo How ?
Tracing paper :D
@@theartofnemo Yeah but this does't exist where i live, and i can't afford to print the image either. But thanks =)
Isn't the rotated 3D room an animation exercise as well?
Not sure cause I didn't study animation that much!
How long should I do these exercises for? I don’t wanna spend like 2 days rushing a bunch of blobs ‘n’ shapes and end up stuck with a shaky foundation.
Ideally a bit over time, cause you also want to start utilizing what you learn in your own artworks as you go
Cpt. Nemo, where did you park the nautilus?
In my yard :D glad you didn't think it was the fish!
my only issuse is drawing boxes.. they give me such a hard time.. they come all funky not matter how hard i try
Yeah it's hard! If you want you can join our discord and post your exercises there to get some guidance
you know what. why not and hell yeah lets do it!@@theartofnemo
So basically we just need to know "render" to be able to draw good form 😗
Thank you👍🙏
Uh... no? Actually the opposite, render comes from understanding the form through cross section and cross contour
@@theartofnemo oh, I think I actually saw the other dude's comment who commented similar to me (he mentioned cross contour), you replied the key is understanding spatial awareness, which I agree so we can create believable 3d space on 2d surface, which make drawings look good
Love a good scratch build for wargaming especially if something other than Orks. Nothing against Orks I just wanna see other things.
Quality content. Cool
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for saying it. I noticed this too but I thought it was a delusion.
"Flat is BAD"
Then my whole existence is bad therefore I should cease to exist
Lol! I feel like my sentence could easily be misinterpreted
I know this is unrelated, but this kinda just made me sad. I can already represent form and perspective, even my anatomy is fine but... Idk, my art just looks... Bad. Like not "technically" bad, but just unappealing
Edit: ill admit i dont have this problem is CG at all, which is weird because perspective and form in 2d are second nature to me
Hmm that is weird. I am curious though, can you post some of your art in our discord? I'd like to see what you mean by unappealing. Also, check out my other video here, which might shed some light: ** ruclips.net/video/DKGb4Dwy4dk/видео.html
Very kool
please chill with the gifs the drawing B rolls are already fine
Trying to find a good compromise since I am not on camera
so thats basically perspective.. but not that formal
Not really, perspective is inherently formal. This is usually called Spatial Awareness. It's the difference between speaking a language naturally and starting from grammar rules, really making a world of difference
2:16 Frieren dislikes this drawing
Rightfully so! lol
How can I make drawing exercises more enjoyable, like these. Or do I just need to accept that it will be boring?
Thanks for your comment!
That's subjective usually. What do you like drawing, in general?
dude first i thought "what a clickbate title" but your tips are actually good! thx!
Lol I wonder howany others had the same impression! I'll moderate the titles
Help I'm trying to draw my own blood and this advice isn't working
Yo Nemo, you think drawabox would be a good thing to do in order to get better at this?
Yo!
yeah it can help! I do suggest going beyond the recommended exercises though, and put a lot of effort into the blobby forms
@@theartofnemo will do!!!
Good info. The B roll clips are distracting to me personally.
Noted!
awesome! Now watch me some how screwing this upp and end upp wasting another year of no art gains =S
Naaah, I'll top up with some more videos of the same type to make sure you don't :D
I just draw shapes, then add details.My brain always sees stuff as shapes first.
Perspective drawing...help pls 🙏🏻
Will be one of the next videos!
Hello sir so in the form tracing phase while tracing the form should the 3dinesss😅 those half semicircles like lines be downward or upward? Like the curve should be downward or upward as both of these can be used to draw it😅 plzz help plzz reply sir😢😢
It depends. If you view the object from a higher point of view, they should be downwards (like a smile). Take any cylinder and strap a rubber band around it, try yourself
@@theartofnemo Oh! Thank you sir. 😊🙏

"You can do all of these exercises with a piece of paper!"

No, you should do that on paper, I just said I do it digitally because I don't have a good way of recording it
@@theartofnemo oh, sorry I misunderstood
