I really wish there were more drawing tutorials like this on RUclips! This is super helpful material and great to see visually, rather than in the step by step format you see in books and such!
I think I slightly disagree with the idea that if you use references that it's not your own art. It's a slippery slope. That seems a bit extreme considering the majority of the most popular artists in the world have used references for a lot of their art.
Logically if you claim your art isn't your own if you use references then anything you learned using references isn't your own. It's just an accumulative knowledge base of all the references you previously used. It still technically means you are using references, it's just now you don't need the physical reference in front of you.
I mean let's not kid ourselves here. Everything we draw is a copy to some degree off of something or someone else's work. We claim it as our own because it's different and transformative enough because only 1 - 2% came from somewhere else. Using a reference doesn't invalidate all that work.
I get what you are saying is that the 1 - 2% means it's not completly your own, but I think at that point you are just splitting hairs.
Oh doesn't invalidate what you do at all!^^ But what I'm trying to do is encourage people to ween off of the copying part of their brain and into the recall/create part, even if that might be copy by memory! and FYI I use references loads!
Ahh, I see ... it just seemed like an odd way to put it. XD
I do agree, it's better to wean off of copying as much as possible. I find the more you do, the more creative you can be. Typically the issue with copying is you end up sacrificing a lot of areas that could be altered to better fit a drawing. A person drawing a pose from reference might stick to it too strictly even if it doesn't entirely suit their vision because they don't know how to alter it. Even if they notice it they may not do anything to fix it. It's a trap I have fallen in on more than one occasion. XD Luckily, I seem to not make that mistake anymore. I didn't like being restricted like that. Maybe I want an entirely different angle of a pose from reference, or maybe I want to alter the pose itself a bit. Maybe I want to draw it with some sort of distorted FOV. Maybe an entirely different body type. By relying too much on copying, it's really hard to do that.
ThatMarchingBunny stop mindfucking me, please.
ThatMarchingBunny even Leonardo Davinci once said, you can't draw what you can't see
Tracing is great for getting muscle memory of shapes BUT it should never be used as a crutch to replace drawing.
Hello again Mikey! It's nice to see you again! Wise words as always :)! This tutorial is so helpful I really am trying to do this recently with my own art currently. I am having better tries with it like my recent D.va Speed painting but I still need better understanding though. Keep It up Mikey!
I've been (ever so slowly) getting into drawing without referencing and this really helped me, too. Thank you, Mikey!!
One of my favorite tutorials I've seen from you man! Very helpful :)
"One of the best tutorials available on the subject!👏👌
Love you Mikey. Love your attitude, your knowledge,
You've taught me so much in the two years I've been doing art and I can't thank you enough
Stay Mega my dude
Imma simple man I see alucard on the thumbnail I click at lightning speed
incredible and very helpful. i want to get better at this and felt i relied on references way too much at the time. this video released at a perfect timing and is a big help. thank you!
And this! Is why I subscribed to you, thank you very much for the amazing tutorials!
This helps so much! Thank you so so much for making these videos!! I can already see an improvement in my drawings!
I've been putting off watching this for some strange reason, but I'm very glad I finally was able to push past my procrastination and check it out, I break down references similarly, but sometimes I just get confused, so this actually helped a lot!
Thank you so much! I always heard to use reference and this was the perfect explanation. Thank you Mikey
Thanks. I had a lot of problems with reference photos so far. I think I learned a lot of things in this video.
I like how he gives you a new way to look at art
Something so simpleand yet it never crossed my mind ... Amazing
So informative! This is very helpful to all kinds of artists
Finally a digital tutorial! Good video Mikey 😁😃
Really love this tutorial!! Thanks for the help
That's exactly the type of video I needed!
Thanks for another great tutorial Mickey!
Been doing this for about a week and it does help
This is so useful! Great tutorial!
though i already discoverved the "breaking down reference" technique/method on my own to improve my own art, this video is still entertaining to watch.
Though my method of breaking down pose is a little different, i dont actually trace images to breakdown into references. What i do is by looking at images and observe the horizontal line of a hip and shoulder.
Holy shit mikey! I was dying to find a video like this, thank you so much! I felt that doing stuff like this was cheating at first. Thank you so much again!
That was extremely helpful. Thank you
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for another tutorial Mikey!!!!
Is that a Hellsing reference?
Awesomegurl 5450 yes that is alucard in his real form
No it's a jojo's reference
thanks for all the drawing tips they always help
Uau!😁 Awesome as ever. I Just wish you the Best.
as soon as I saw the crazed look and pure black shadows covering the face except the eyes and mouth, I was like " Is that Alucard as Dracula?!"
Glad to see a fellow Hellsing fan and holy shit this tips video is actually amazing, going to try it out right now.
Has been following your tutorials and is definitely closest to the style I'm going for. Would love to see tutorials for hair next though, been struggling with that for awhile. (Oops, my bad, found it )
Super helpful thanks!
This is very very helpful!! Thanks Mikeyy!!
Thx for this tutorial^^
Very useful, thanks a lot!
Funny, when I was a kid, I used to trace a person or cartoon character and then redraw them on my own. I haven’t drawn as much as I used to, and now I am trying to improve my abilities, so these tutorials really help.
Great tutorial!
This actually helped me a hell lot
nice video man this helped thx!
Really useful tutor mikey ...thank you ❤️ u
Hi Mikey Amazing Video
I literally learned everything from Mikey-Sensei. TwT
Arigato ✋✋✋
Thank you this is very useful
Dude! Your thumbnails tho'! 😄
Awesome master thanks :3
It was really informative
I follow your extremely helpful tutorials on a regular basis but the moment I saw Alucard in the thumbnail I didn't care what it was about. Lol if you use anyone from that anime as a reference I'll watch the shit out of it. 🙌
All seriousness tho you're a wonderful person and a great artist and your videos help me brush up my skills on drawing human folk. Kudos man ✌
thank you again mikey
I swear as much as I like to follow a lot of really good artists, you're the only one with wich each video I feel like I learn a whole lot. More like "I learn everything you meant to teach in this video" and I do not know why.
Maybe im meant to be a master of ecchi like yourself in the future. 😃
Anyways, Im usually putting aside my art all the time, but now I'll put a bit of this on practice hoping my hand didnt forget how to do the very little art I had :D
Blue Wolf Trivia: famous anime\manga artists started with hentai doujins. Drawing ecchi isn't really bad per se, because you can draw the naked body more detailed so that even if you clothed them, the anatomy won't look bland or imperfect! :)
Kuro yeah I was aiming for something like that anyways, I'd like to implement some hentai to really good stories I want to make in the future :)
This might be a weird thing to say.....but I think this is what I'm gonna focus on entirely for the next month. I just started attempting ot draw, and I eventually do want to get into more anime-ish, style of art, but since I'm an absolute beginner, I think my best course of action is to just focus on breaking stuff down for my first month at least.
I'm picking up art after having not really done much in it in a few years, and i must say, your videos are AMAZING. I'd really love to get into digital art, character and manga/webtoon drawing and your videos are super helpful. I first noticed your video on the GT 220 V2 monitor, i'm trying to get one in the next month or two.. would you still recommend? Right now i'm using a basic huion with no screen, it's probably 12 inches right now, but it's difficult for me to use because i can't see what i'm doing, and i ihave to have it flat or it stops responding. Also, i dropped a sub, i've been checking out lots of your videos, love your work and personality, very modest. ^_^
I honestly feel bad for never finishing the video because coming up with a pose from scratch is my weakness and it goes into that detail and I hope it helps and i believe it will thank you mikey
This helps so much
*really nice*
bruh i think this video gave me the biggest art epiphany thank you so much
A masterpiece
Amazing tip
Mikey can you please do a character from fate?
GrimReaper à la gachette facile which one lol
Maybe Mordred or arturia or nero.....
So much choice😁
MHX!!
Question about the body. When should I use an oval, circle and a square when doing the shape of the body?
mikey can you make another video how to draw hair
Can you do a tutorial on anime shading like that second picture from hellsing? I know you've already did a basic tutorial, but I'd like to learn about that type of shading
Hi Mikey could you please make a tutorial on how to draw male eyes similar to that in the bleach anime.PLZ!!
Glad that you dont just hate on tracers or basers like most do. That stuff gets annoying quick
more tutorilas on tablet please, which brush to use, how to use brush and different way for to use a color ( sorry for my english, I'm swiss)
i'm new to this channel, is there a guide line for lesson 1 to 10 or something like that? i'm terrible at drawing and have no fundamental, but i really love your art style and want to learn along. i really have no idea where to start, thanks
you are so good at explaining😅
I like u Work
U have speed drawins ?
Can you do more of your tutorials in Photoshop
do you think not tracing but just looking any copying the shapes you see would be more beneficial to your muscle memory? I use traditional and don't have a lightbox. that's why I ask
I’m ngl, If I tryhard at drawing I can do great work but I really want to get to a point where I don’t have to tryhard and can still make industry level stuff
I always like your tutorial. You never do timelapse and teaches slowly, suitable for beginners!
Also, I got a question here:
-Can I teach myself drawing or need an art teacher to supervise?
Dokomei 12 yes you can but you risk plateauing especially if you are most just drawing what you think is cool having a teacher or just learning in a group give you unbias feedback and can help maximize your and minimize your weaknesses keep in mind I don’t mean you need to go to art school but taking drawing classes at community center you will never go wrong hope it help
Nice
does this technique also help to become a better artist
Yeah I wish I could do digital art ￣^￣
nice
using shapes as building blocks is fine but its also a good idea to come up with your own shapes for a custom style.
Good
just gotta ask where did you draw this?
Just wondering, for how much time did you have to practice using references until you could draw well without them? I cannot wait for that day to come but it seems infinitely far off.
Yes
Hey Mikey. Love your tutorials, but i have a request. How bout a tutorial on drawing different body shapes. Show some love for big girls.
Mikey:.. from something you like!
Me,a fan of JoJo: OH NO!
nice .. i guess im going to start not to just trace .. i use 3D model every time when some pose i cant draw ĺ
I love
luv u
LOVEE
will our skills on traditional art improved too if we're doing this on digital or vice versa?
It would eventually
Would you say it speeds up the process if you start from the second step rather than drawing directly over the image first?
Yep! most people really start from step 2 anyway!
I see my husbando Alucard, I watch video and smash that like button!!!!!!!!
Mobile legends??
This is just what I needed freaking perfect
Does this apply to background design like for buildings and stuff
darkwolflord it does! Just learn the 4 types of perspective.
One point perspective (center point)
Two point perspective (where the horizon is)
Three point perspective (known to be more dynamic)
Fish eye view (looking through a peep hole of the door)
From there, shapes will be used.
Actually tracing does help your muscle memory too :P.It's not like it knows that you're tracing or not.
You get my subscription just for mentioning the source and also reminding people to give credit to the source. People too often use shit and claim its theirs.
Oh my faking gahd
I were to about to ask about this literally now, on another video xD
Wut
How do you figure out the exact shape of each body part?
