“My favourite cartoons like Dragon Ball…”
Last words of a man before the weeb anime army took out his Hobbit Bunker with a katana-shaped missile.
RIP dude, I’ll remember you forever.
It's so funny when some weebs are offended with this. They can't comprehend that anime is Japanese Cartoon.
Edit: Read the replies to understand. Cartoons isn't just for kids. You must have not live long for y'all to assume that cartoons doesn't have matured contents. If that's your argument because there are animes that aren't meant for kids then please let your kids, younger sibs, or kid neighbors watch Family guy because if you're perception on cartoons is it is just for kids then I don't know what to do with you anymore.
Y'all weebs should have argued that it is different because of cultural differences, animation differences, style differences. Not the because anime aren't for kids and cartoons are.
I mean I watch anime for like 10 years now (I am 20 now btw). Have watched gore animes, shounen, shoujo, yuri, yaoi, josei, slice of life, drama, romcom, etc., depressing sh*ts, have read manga, manhwas, manhua, been an otaku for almost all of my life, surrounded by otakus (my friends, my family) (my mom watch anime too before) But still, I consider anime as Japanese cartoon.
I guess we all have differences in this kind of topic. Well whatever suits you best.
@@DishWsher I'm not offended but, I think it's not the same, cartoon is an animation, like anime but it's like stating Japanese art is renaissance or impressionism art (not sure). But as far as I know the creator did not say that dbz is a cartoon. He just said that "dbz is great for that"
@@user-gu8vq9iy7j It's all about perspective and perception. When people think about cartoon they think that it's just for kids but it's not (Adult cartoon is an example). That's how some of the weebs' mind work. Anime is Japanese cartoon. There's also western cartoon. Same with anime, it has many genres and themes but mostly people watch on TV are those cartoons for kids. But it's the same. It's cartoon but also different in terms with art style or concepts. (I'm bad with my English but I hope I have conveyed my thoughts to the readers)
@@user-gu8vq9iy7j some anime is targeted towards younger viewers. And some anime is meant for older viewers. But remember that cartoons aren't necessarily meant for younger viewers. Cartoons are defined as
"a motion picture using animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects."
Or
"a simple drawing showing the features of its subjects in a humorously exaggerated way, especially a satirical one in a newspaper or magazine."
Nothing in that definition says anything about viewers ages. Therefore, Cartoons are anime and anime is a cartoon. Cartoons can be for adults as well as younger viewers. Let's not gatekeep anime/cartoons. Let people who enjoy that art form enjoy it!
@@DishWsher and that cartoons can be for many different ages, not just kids!
I feel like I’m too "proud" to copy poses of films cartoon or I don’t know but I should probably start to before I go back to stick man and family 💀
It’s been a month since I posted this comment, and I just want to thank everyone for the likessss yay and especially the comments !! I got so many answers , I’m so pumped up by all of you, your tricks and support are just amazing 🫶 thank you and congrats Mr.Sava for having this friendly community ! :)
Why are too proud to draw these?
@@timowthie maybe they feel like they're copying which means they think they're not talented enough
@@buggy-boy Copying is really important for beginner artists ( not even beginner artists, experienced ones too! Like how Scott Christian Sava did the series on Studying the Masters! Its always helpful to see how other people do things. You can learn so much from a copy!) Because let's face it: no one in this day and age is really "self taught" (except that we teach ourselves to learn from our peers and our surroundings) We all learn from each other, even the strangest, most different art has some roots, some influence from some work or something they saw.
@@kaleajohnson7414 yes i used to copy coloring pages of monster high characters when i was little, i think it honestly helped me and it still has an influence on my style
@@buggy-boy Same here! Monster high was one of my very first as well! I loved the style! :)
Study JoJo the amount of poses you can study is absolutely immaculate And it’s a great anime/manga so even better
But if you are doing a study off of JoJo you should probably do it with parts 4 and after unless you are trying to draw extremely muscular people
@@conno3935 true :)
if you’re into a horribly written plot with worse pacing than an obese elementary school child running a mile for PE, pointless story arcs, ugly character design, and an annoying soundtrack, go for it ! jojo is the best in the garbage anime genre !
This sounds interesting. I’ll give it a go.
Stardust Crusaders 🛐🛐🛐🔥🔥
I rarely used "how to draw" books, but this was my absolute favorite through 4th grade.
Its written in such a fun and dynamic way, i love it
First of all, this is a nearly 10-year-old boy using my grandma's phone. Other than that, I just finished 4th grade😂😂😂
@@bettywilkins5353 congrats?
He called dragon ball a cartoon i can hear screams from a mile away !
Anime is a Japanese cartoooon!!!!
@@idk1497 no it isn't cartoons are very kid friendly and anime kills every mc's parents in a brutal way like being eaten sealoning a demon inside ur child, ur brother massacers ur entire family, did to ur own powers
Yea cartoons and anime are not the same
MY SOLDEIRS RAAAAAGE-erwin
@@who.needs.a.username612 cartoons can also have high details lol,some anime are for adults but mostly for kids!
@@who.needs.a.username612 we dont call it a cartoon. In anime they call a cartoon a cartoon and anime an anime. One is west one is east. And anime fans like that distinction. And the art style also differs, its very distinctive
This book is how I learned to draw!!! I recieved it as a gift before quarantine, and I've dedicated over 2 years learning from this book and then moving beyond!!!
tip: copy a pose, draw it again a few times, then redraw it with a character you draw often or want to draw more. it helps both check their design and practice anatomy!
amen
That’s such good advice!!! I’ll try it
Thanks for the advice.
My dad has this book somewhere!! I really want to find it now!!can't wait !
Edit: omg thanks all the likes this is the most I've gotten
So did you found it yet?
Hast thou fount it yet?
@@grate9 no thou is still searching
I really love ur art style, tho it isn’t the one I’m going for in my art, your videos really inspire me and help me keep going
"Training our hands and eyes to work with each other"
💯✨
One of my favorite books ever! I have had this for years and it’s amazing.
My favorite book for dynamic poses will always be "Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators" by Michael Mattesi. I've ended up with multiple copies of the book because I'd want to look through when I came home from college, realize I left it in my dorm, and buy another copy. I think I even have a PDF copy on my laptop somewhere so I don't have to hunt for the physical copy anymore. TLDR, I really like that book.
This is why I read comments. Gonna have to get a copy of that book. Side note, have you heard of a program called design doll? If not I'm sure you or anyone Interested in animation/drawing figures would really enjoy it. Takes a bit to get comfortable with it but once you get the hang of it it's easy and fun. Check it out
@@wyrdo1501 I hadn't heard of design doll before. I'll definitely have to check out that program at some point.
That’s it-I’m handing over my crown (look at my name) u have worked so darn hard to become an ultimate master
I am honored.
I love to study manga as art references. Usually frames are high quality and more detail than the animated scenes. Plus lots of crazy poses and expressions. Also really cool how they make drawings dynamic only using greyscale colors and not even blended shadows usually. Only textured,sharp, or crosshatching shadows mostly.
I remember getting this as one of my presents from my school and I would be there for hours sketching until I was able to accurately draw the proportions right of my favorite poses
Yes, this is kinda how I got into drawing. I would sketch my favorite superheroes and anime characters, first in simple, straight form, then I learned how to draw dynamic poses by copying images and eventually being able to do it by memory and trial & error.
I've always wanted to draw and you're actually teaching me so much!!
I found this book at a thrift store when I was like 6 it my first time teaching myself to draw and it was so helpful
Marvel Comics was my only reference when I was a kid... but I still need to work a lot on the dimensions, it's not easy.
Thank you for posting this, it brought great memories. 💕
Can you please do a video about brushes 🥺
Man it’s 2 am and I’ve never had such an urge to draw 😩
Wow this brings back a ton of memories! When I was a kid I took this book out at the library many times because I thought it was awesome, and it really is to this day.
Im genuinely so happy to have found your chancel! I love your artwork and it really inspired me to get into Aqua-coloring again, not just that but because of your recomandtaions i brought the same set of pens and i love them! I will also buy this book, it seems like your videos always come at a time where i need them! They always make me happy and cheerfull, you are a real inspiration for me! Keep going!
Sending love and huggs from Germany!
When you tilted that book, I thought the shelf was about to swing open 😂
To reveal a portal to where his wonderful drawings live in harmony.
Same
I just realized my grandma has this book, I'm gonna snatch it whenever I visit again(I left it cause I didn't know it's value
I just got my hands on a copy of this book and man is it amazing! Around chapter 6 with the poses have really helped me.
This is very solid advice. Comic artists have a great way of simplifying things since they're on such a time crunch.
Ayyy I have that book! I definitely need to get back into learning from it :)
"My favourite cartoons such as Dragon Ball Z," Oh no this poor man is in for a ride in the comments
Wait what why? Because he said it is a cartoon?
You can't blame him, the show was literally on cartoon network
@@oldm44zali the weebs will get offended no matter what
@@bacongreasee funny enough, I dont see anyone complaining about it. Just people talking about it
It is a cartoon. A drawing on a card or a piece of paper. We're speaking english.
Way ahead of u man, I've had this book for like 5 months, this is a great book!!😊
I love that book! I use it to help me with making poses look more natural/fluid and to help me with perspective!
This is actually good. MUM CAN WE GO TO THE LIBRAY
Joke of the day: ah yes the 4 genders. Man, Women, and GOOD GUY AND BAD GUY! 😂
Don't forget the morally grey guy
The bad guy has to have _evil shapes_
Also i love the hero team that comprises of
Nice man, morally grey angsty man, heart of the team man, girl and silly man
You forgot npcs
You forgot sidekick good guy and sidekick for the badguy
"Men, women, good guys, bad guys"
The 4 species I am now a bad guy =)
I went out and found this book at my local library. As a beginner, this book increased my skill and flow of creativity greatly from just the first few pages! Highly recommended and this video is where I got the idea from.
I've had that book for 25 years! I started drawing figures using this exact book! It helped me a lot
“Anatomy” is what me and my buddys call some stuff 😏
😐
I am practicing my art everyday and doing stuff like this and studying the lines and such from other artists gives me a basic idea of what I need to do, so helpful when looking at references!
I’ve bought this 3 months ago, I’ve done practice and now I having start to study the style of Jim-lee
I adore the secure and positive vibes your videos have
I'm sorryi literally can't stop obsessing over that archway in your house 😍😍😍
Thanks! I have been self learning art and this really helped!
I got that exact book for Christmas last year and it legitimately took me from stick figures and smily faces to being so good at drawing that my art teacher said that I’m probably the best character artist he’s ever taught while working as an art teacher
Not only is his art good- but you can tell his house looks great from the circular walkthrough to a bookshelf
Omg I have that book, I spent so long reading it and I found ur video so i thought I would see how u do it and it’s awesome that u use that book too!!
I’m obsessed with ur art style, ur videos motivate me to draw more since I’m not drawing as much anymore, I used to draw everyday now I do it rarely 🤭❤️
Yes!! My dad gave me how to draw comics the marvel way (it was his when he was in high school) and it’s improved my poses, and art a lot!
This is super cool I have been trying to draw like this for the past 3 years
I never had books to copy from.. I used to just divide the body into random squiggles and shapes and work from there
Bridgman and Buscema...This guy has the best books. Who else wants Scott to take us on a tour of his library?
Love these videos. Practical, with short term, longer term and general philosophical and life advice sprinkled in. Thanks so much x
I love the tips you give all of us thank you for making these amazing vids love your vids!
This books is great. I love how the whole thing is pretty much john showing the stuff and stan and the marvel cast explaining what is going on.
Just ordered the book 😀 thank you. You're inspiring me to pick the pencils and pad back up again 💓❤
Hi sir, I had been seeing and viewing a lot of your shorts and they inspire me. I had stop drawing since I lost passion due to health issues and now I am trying to pick up drawing back again.
You helped and inspired me a lot. I am but a random person but I share to you my thankfulness.
That book was definitely a lifesaver during the one summer I took a comic design class. Shame I lost my old copy
This is actually the most helpful thing I’ve found
I have this book and its helped me so much, it explains it rlly well.
I love that book, I used to use it all the time when I was younger
I have this book, its really great. It doesnt only have tips for figures and poses but for perspective and inking as well. Great for some of the fundamentals
I have this book and it’s a lifesaver when drawing bodies and characters!
My grandad got me this book about 25 years ago and its literally my go to for perspective drawing and posing
I am currently studying figure drawing. So thankyou! Honestly the fact that you say trace it, copy it, etc really gives me confidence. Because I really have been wanting to just really break apart my favorite illustrations lately. Get in, trace it, draw it from reference, use the reference as reference, etc. The tracing part is the taboo, it's one I have crossed before, and one that I consider an ample tool in rotoscope animations. I just have to once again swallow my pride. I feel as though the journey of an artist is a journey of realizing your pride is making you take the hard route.
Like if my ADHD allowed me to just really go back to basics and get properly good at one thing before moving on to another I know I'd excel. Because one moment I'll draw a doodle that sprawls into a tapestry of psychedelic mind dump, the next I want to draw a character but am self conscious of my skill so I draw figures for now, then I focus on shapes for a bit. Like I look through my sketchbooks and it's always all over the place. I kinda own it but it makes the process of acquiring new skills a slow one. Cuz it's like a drip feed of investment without properly expanding onto the concepts into "mastery". My definition of mastery is ostensibly acquiring the muscle memory of how to draw the thing, it may not look masterful yet but you have acquired that shape combination or artistic process and can refine it.
My thought honestly was, "every job I work I end up getting to the point within a few weeks where the entire thing is thoughtless and automatic."
If I can just start really even isolating hour snippets where I work on something I think I'll do better. Cuz nearly everything I work on I do in bits in pieces whilst I do something else, be it work or in between working out. The latter being something that is a round the clock thing for me due to being an amateur Sumo wrestler. But even sumo, the best results I've had is when I just go into a battle trance for an hour or two. Like you've pushed through the pain, you feel like you want to pass out and you've felt like that for the last 30 minutes, but then you envision one more opponent and suddenly life surges back through your body and your are able to push yourself into the truly endurance zone. I think in any skill you learn best when you are at your most uncomfortable. Like some of my favorite drawings have been stuff that I have drawn that was way out of my skill level but I did it anyway.
With my art I think the big solution is what it always will be, practice. And I won't say unfortunately, I'll say I'm fortunate that I have practice to look forward to. It's fun to get into those meditative states. I think that's also half the battle, making whatever you are doing fun. If you are excited to do it when you get home then it will be fullfilling, but if you view it as a mountain of practice you have to grind through it'll take forever. Yeah dude, I'm gonna have fun with meditating through my art. Screw setting arbitrary deadlines that I'll break and disappoint myself. I'm gonna live in art at all times, if that means 1 drawing a week or 100 drawings a week it means no difference as long as I'm engaging in that practice.
Thanks for this little meditation through text my guy.
Honest book ever. Then any book on contour and gesture drawing.
I went to the library all the time to sit in the isle and learn from that book as a kid!
That DBZ nod was just amazing.
I grew up with this book and only ever looked at the drawings, wishing I’d actually read it before it was given away
Agreed! Best purchase I ever made when I was a kid.
I think maybe it's the tone but you can tell there's a lot of love for this book
I've had this book for 2 years it helped lot
The Marvel Way was my favorite book as a kid ive been using it since i was 6 years old lol. I was fascinated with Marvel growing up.
This is cute, inspirational and helpful video.
I love how it was done.
I agree. I’ve had this book for a while and it’s helped me learn a lot
I normally don't bat an eye to what social media tells us to buy but I bought this so fast! Hahah, I don't think I'll regret it at all. Thanks :)
I have this book and is the best thing I've ever buy to learn proportions!
I actually have that same book! It's been a huge help for me, nice to see it being appreciated.
for me, an aspiring designer, this video, found by chance, was very useful
This was so helpful, thankyou so much 🙌🏻✌🏻
My parents got this book for me as a young comic book nerd and aspiring artist. It’s amazing! Great recommendation.
I like how something soo simple like drawing can become hard
This video is the grrwtest insperation i have evwr watched you are a role model to all artist
Holy hell that little bookshelf is SO cool
I've got this book! I got it as a Christmas present when I was a kid and its been so helpful ever since if I want to draw any sort of comic based anatomy
This is exactly what I needed I'll go buy this book rn
I love this taking inspiration and learning from the things we love is the best way to learn
I had this book when I was a kid, its how I learnt to draw
You're kind of my hero. Not joking. Thank you.
Ohhh such a nostalgia rush!! I read that as a kid and really loved it! I need a copy of my own!
I got this book for Christmas 1 year ago, and it is so helpful
I got this book for my birthday years ago and it is the reason I am an artist
I was so excited to see "how to draw comics the marvel way"! I got that book a few years ago and still study it a lot!
I love love love gesture and reeaally wanna master it, still practicing n studying but i hope i can get there soon!
My dad had that book when I was a kid. And for years I've been trying to find it. You pulled it off your shelf and I went straight to amazon and ordered it because now I know the name 😂
I love that I do some of the same poses on that chapter
Loved that book as a kid!
Just bought this book because of you!!can't wait to use it!!
Love the circle entrance
This book is amazing!! I got it years ago and it's brilliant!
Also, Akira Toriyama’s art style is so incredibly fun to draw and emulate for some reason?? I genuinely don’t know why, I just encourage everyone to give it a try. It’s absurdly fun.
I think it’s something with the exaggerated proportions and dramatic physics of stuff like hair and clothes. You can play around and get crazy with it. If you’re feeling down and uninspired, draw a random character in Toriyama’s style. It will brighten your day up.
My dad gave me his copy of the book from when he was a kid and it has helped immensely! Plus, it's so cool to know I'm holding something probably 20 years older than me 🤣
It is, however, not very diverse in terms of bodies and faces so I do recommend trying to apply the tips they give but using reference images of POC, plus size ppl, disabled ppl, and in general diverse types of people as an excersize!
