How do you learn to draw Stylised Characters with Different Proportions?
Learning to draw Anatomy can be one of the most challenging tasks as an Artist! But it can be even more complicated to figure out how to take all of the "anatomy how to draw" info out there and make it relate to drawing cool stylised characters.
Especially when those characters don't match normal human proportions!
I spent a lot of time learning to use The Loomis Method (Or at least I just read his book Figure Drawing for All It's Worth, and followed his ideas) But even though that helps a lot with drawing stylised characters it doesn't give a lot of advice for drawing fantasy characters or really exaggerated figures like I saw in Manga and Comics and Video Games etc...
The trick is to understand the logic behind Drawing Mannequins (using stick figures and super simple versions of our character) and how they help us draw and construct the figure from imagination.
The Key is that the mannequin exists to help us pose things easily and effectively.
Whatever you can do to modify it to help it be more easy and effective at posing YOUR character (the thing you are drawing) the better it becomes.
Try to think of the standard Mannequin found in a book like Figure Drawing for all it's worth as an easy effective way to pose a normal human.
If you want to create a character with massive overdeveloped musculature... you might need to adjust the initial mannequin to help you sketch out and pose the figure... whatever is easy and effective is what you should work towards.
Try not to get stuck on 'proper' or 'correct' ways of doing these things. As long as you understand the purpose behind a system and set of ideas for posing the figure... you can then apply it to your own drawing challenges.
Some characters will need to have bits added to their mannequin or proportions drastically changed. Because those elements and shapes play a big role in making the character look and feel right.
When you are posing your character you just need an easy quick way to draw them so you can explore different poses... it's that simple.
Applying these ideas is obviously a challenge and will take time. But The fundamental principals are quite basic and easy to understand.
Good Luck!
With most types of stylised types of art - There is often a mix of structure and perspective and technical drawing.... combined with symbols and abstract features.
Once you get good at blocking in proportion and posing with the Loomis Method you can use it to suit your own style.
It's just a tool you can use to help you draw cool stuff!
Happy Drawing!

I’m so glad I came across to this channel by accident. Not a dubstep-frosted TikTok style 2min “tutorials” that only gives a really bad headache, but extremely professional and calm, helpful guidance that you’d love to watch for even longer. Keep it up and don’t change your style (not too much at least).
Thanks!! I’m glad you like the format of these!
extremely underrated channel
Definitely Underrated! More college lecturing with instructional examples!
This man really deserves more
Thanks :)
you are so underrated 😭
Your video reminded me of the joy of drawing.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that :)
This has been very informative and helpful! Also really love your art style. Thank you for doing this, and sharing it with us for free. You don’t have to, but still chose to. Thank you!
Thanks!! I’m glad you like these ones!
Can you make a video on compositions and enviroments, your environment work is so well drawn and designed
Yeah that’s a good idea. I gave some stuff planned for drawing environments and backgrounds! Not sure when I’ll get a chance to record those, there’s still some character based videos in the pipeline currently!
@@TheDrawingCodex I love both (character and environment design). Your lessons are amazing, thank you. ❤
Consider making both, if you have the time and motivation. This would also increase the number of visitors and followers
for your channel. Have a great day. 😊👍
Just found you yesterday and I’m really blown away by the content. Keep up the awesome work.
Me too
Thanks!!
Same.
This is so good that I fear it will be taken away before I can get a chance to look at it all!
Your vids on the figure Have been some of the most helpful I have found. will you be covering environment/backgrounds and perspective.
Thanks! Yep I’ll do some stuff on those topics soon!
Loving this series!
Please consider making a video where you show more in-depth how to draw characters having the perspective grid as a guide.
Good for straight on looking characters, but it would be helpful to show how this works for three quarters or side on characters. Showing different viewpoints would be helpful , thanks .
Thank you for these.
i am thankful to you so much , i consider you my art teacher , thanks to you i saw huge improvements just in one week
SO helpful, thanks so much!
No worries!! :)
your channlez a gold mine dude. just came across it through recommendations. kssp up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
What I love about your postings are they resemble lectures and not class room instructions
Such a great channel, very high quality videos! Loving the content, please bring more full time demos, it's great to see the process in real time. This channel will grow a lot!! Do you thik in making a discord for the community?
I found the Loomis method my weapon of choice when it comes to drawing heads, but i found difficult to grasp the mannequin part, and you down to earth this subject for a selftaught artist like me, thanks a lot Tim!!
ive watched around 2-3 of your videos and i've seen massive improvements in my anatomy and facial design. most of the other ones don't talk about manipulating basic forms like these. By far the best tutorial thank you so much
Thanks so much. I've been contemplating this for so long
Glad to be part of your community man, you are exactly what I 've been looking for eversince I started my career 🙌🏿
Great tutorial, thank you so much Tim!
Hello! Suscribed! Love the style! I'm not inclined to draw comic style but I think all styles are an oportunity to learn new ways of think, see and develop our own style. Thank you for share with us your process :)
I love your style.
Your videos has been very helpful thank you so much❤
I wish he would do a live chat lecture, input from students!
is there a link for the skeleton you used in this video?
You draw comics so how do you decide the panels and what to be in it?
I have a problem with showing too much. I’ll use an entire page of a guy putting on a hat, coat, and walking outside his home.
Thank you TIM!
Is the Loomis method viable for gesture drawing?Thanks!
Yeah you can use much of the mannequin posing he talks about to draw your own little characters and quickly get the feeling and gesture of a character. I talk about this a bit in the recent video talking about posing characters. (Unless you mean something different by gesture drawing?)
@@TheDrawingCodex thanks!
That helps a lot
Awesome Video!!!
Great video as always but please also mention the name of the books you show in the video,
Очень полезное видео, большое спасибо!
Where can I buy the skelleton and muscle mannequins?
Codex.. love your characters, good explanation on how to deviate from the norm proportion, norm proportions don't work anyway in the fantasy world..I think?
