Awesome! I am glad you appreciate the approach. I have had a lot of success using and teaching this in my classes. Glad the video is translating it well.
I couldn’t draw anything but stock figures 2 days ago. I have the desire to create anatomy in my head onto paper to share my minds eye… I didn’t know I could be TAUGHT to draw like any other skill! Thank you…DRAWSH
Your channel is an absolute gold mine of tutorials. You break down complex ideas into such simple to understand concepts. Thank you so much for your videos!
Thank you, I wish I could take credit for coming up with that, but I learned it from studying the great artist Ben Caldwell (@bencaldwellart). He makes great how to draw books you should all check out!
@@DrawshStudio i appreciate you crediting where you learned this from. As an educator, our job is to learn as much as possible and distill it in ways that are understandable to our students. I am already a fan of Ben Caldwell- i've got his Fantasy Cartooning book! I've learned a lot from that book and from many other artists, too. I've added you to that list of artists who I've learned a lot from, too. Your tutorials are so clear and simple to understand. I know it must take a great deal of work to put them together so I wanted to let you know how awesome they are. Have already referred my students to your tutorials. Thanks, and keep it up. I know you will!
I have that book too! His style is so fun and accessible, I got a lot from that book. I appreciate the kind words and support for the videos, it’s gratifying to know people are learning from them! :)
This is a great tutorial for gesture and really what I was hoping to find. The only difference between your approach and Proko (a popular online art tutor) is that he uses CSI lines to maybe catch entire portions of the body, like a single S line incorporating the leg, the back and the head. I imagine he would say he would do that in order to maximise capturing the 'flow' of the motion, but I found his explanation to vague as to when to combine body parts in a single line. Your approach always uses a separate line for each body part though and I like that, it makes sense.
Thank you! I agree the flowy method doesn’t work for me either which is why I explain it the way I do. The flowy way gives a lot of energy but loses something in the structure. I believe if you learn a more structural approach first you can build the rhythms and flow into the figure while still keeping a sense of anatomy or construction. :)
I've watched several of your videos and I've studied art for many moons, that being said, I actually learn new things from watching your videos, even when you're just covering fundamentals. Excelsior!
Wow doing half ovals gesture is insanely helpful. Not only it does the work for gesture, it can indicate overlaps clearer then overlapping two circles which might cause confusion for some people.
Awesome! Happy to hear it helped you understand gesture. I have a book that goes more in depth, both print and digital versions online. Visit drawsh.com to find more. :)
I've just applied this and I'm amazed from the result !! Thank you so much for you super CLEAR explanation ♥️♥️ can't be more appropriated Wish you luck teacher ♥️
Just came across your channel and wanted to send some positive vibes your way. The clear concise instructions you share are great and are helpful to someone like me trying to wrap my head around figure drawing. Thank you for all the great content you are sharing!
That’s kind of you to say, and I hope it’s legal 🤭. I am slowly building some ways to take courses with me in the future so keep you eyes open for that if you are interested.
Liked & subscribed ! This is one of the most best ever simple easy juicy combination of how to combine the line , shapes and Form. I was so much confused about it cause i started to do stick man matches and i am trying hard to flesh but it seems i struggle in the basic forms a bit. But after seeing this tutorial it gave me hope to re try again. So thank you so much and you deserve at least a 10 M view to this great video. I wish if you get more figures or if possible you can do the same process in the video but different poses … i guess it will help a lot to practice more. Thanks ^_^
Thanks for joining and supporting channel! I struggled with the forms a lot when I was first starting too. It’s hard to understand how to draw spatially at first, but the good news is more you practice the more you train your brain and the easier it gets. It is a learnable skill! And thanks for your suggestion, I will put that in the list for future videos :)
@@DrawshStudio back again ^_^ hahahah i just drew my first LSF 😭😭😭😭 and I am extremely happy. All thanks to you and for your nice video and explanation!!
Hey Drawsh, for reference poses that have extreme foreshortening, (like a birds-eye view of the person or soemthing) how would you use the step 1 (line armature) to convey this? I'm struggling because lines dont have much depth.
The line armature is really the very first step in learning the mechanics and proportion of the figure. Once that lesson is absorbed, it is important to move to a more solid gesture like the line/shape combo, or what I use 90 percent of the time which is the beanshape. My video on the beanshape shows how to transition from the line/shape to bean.
Is it better to draw the limbs as curves or static lines during the line armature phase also should the hip line be longer or shorter than the shoulder line and how do you apply this method to a figure twisting
That’s a good question. Straight or static lines will lose the energy and flow of the figure, so gentle curves are good. However, it can be pushed too far if you want something solid to construct on top of. You will get a feel for solid but fluid lines. I hope that makes sense.
7:21 honestly. I tried drawing a girl kneeling yesterday (legs to her chest) and it honestly almost kicked my ass. While I achieved my objective for the session (which was to learn how to combine multiple references to create a unique pose/scene) I felt that familiar sense of frustration when drawing. Her clothes were baggy so I think that was a part of the problem. It was also hard because I was saying "after studying/practicing for so many months, why can't I do this?". It was really frustrating. I'll get back to it today though because as I always say, if I don't give up, I'll never fail. I just need to draw one line everyday at the very least
That is a familiar sense of frustration I have felt (and all artists have). A few things to keep in mind. Be kind to yourself, because drawing is a very hard discipline that takes an immense amount of time to get. But if you keep up the attitude of not giving up you will get there. Also, sometimes we practice a lot of one thing and feel confident, but then are thrown a curveball that throws it all out of the window. Finding the figure under clothing or combining references are completely separate skills that must be learned and practiced too. Don’t avoid these challenges but at the same time adjust your expectations when adding onto the difficulty. Keep it up!!
@@DrawshStudio facts. I suppose without challenges we never really develop. I have another question: do you know of any character Drawing website where I can see the figure In cubes, spheres and cylinders? Most of those resources have blocked in figures so I can't see the form so well . Sometimes I have trouble identifying the angles of cubes and how to place them. I think I need to continue practicing cubes
That a good topic for a future video. My friend has a wonderful channel with figure stuff m.ruclips.net/user/CarolinPeters. Also Everyday James and Proko are two excellent channels with info on solid forms :)
Quick question! Would you recommend that I draw over images with my tablet and try to break down the figure digitally or use a sketchbook instead, where I can't draw over the image? I realise that I have to return to watch this video to remember some stuff so that's what I'm doing now
Do both!! They are each going to teach you something different and are two things I did in my early practice. Try it from memory and then go back to the videos or drawsh handouts to check and correct. Rinse and repeat, this is the way to master the subject. :)
For this gesture approach the “spine” is really a center line showing the bend of the body, which 90% of the time can be represented as a C curve. But if you are drawing a literal spine on the figure, you should conform it to the ribcage and pelvis which will make it more S curved.
I have a question how does the bean and robo bean work on gesture,Do I have to think of the bean and robo bean when I draw gestures Or do I draw a gesture then overwrite it with the bean and overwrite it again with robo bean? Sorry if my English is bad
I have a video on the bean as well, but basically the bean IS the gesture. It is one of the early shapes you make to capture the figure torso in a natural pose. :)
@@DrawshStudio Thank you for the explanation, this really helps me because previously I was confused because of the various types of gesture techniques
The next step is to build the surface either through line or value or both. :) I’m glad you like my teaching, please support me on patreon and I can begin to make more content!
Yes! Practicing both is a great way to learn. From reference allows you to analyze while learning the forms and construction of the figure. From imagination challenges your brain to draw from those observations to invent which accesses our memory and creativity to help us learn :)
Thanks for the interest in my teaching. Balance is a topic I have material planned for. When I am able to produce more teaching material it will be on there. Keep following the channel for more updates!
Yes! Measure, measure, measure. First do a gesture, then check the points from the drawsh video in proportion. Start with the head size to the midpoint, and then from the mid point to the heels and adjust as you construct. It takes a lot of practice of drawing, measuring, and adjusting to get proportions correct. But the more you do the faster you improve. :)
The bean is a great lay-in, but don’t give up on the boxes. They put the figure in 3D space and will make constructing anatomy easier later. Often I will put the boxes into the bean to help construct. It’s a learned skill, the more you do it the better you will get!
@@DrawshStudio ah no,, u suggested before about that playlist but i didnt find by that name n ends found this playlist... so this might be the playlist that u've suggested before?... i've asked in the past about how to draw ANYTHING, especially the human anatomy in ANY ANGLE.. u may remember about my comment before ? n u told me to watch ur 3 playlists in order to do what i wanna do which is to draw ANYTHING IN ANY ANGLE so yeah tq for ur suggestions about my problems.. i appreciated it n btw i've screenshoted ur reply to my problem in the comment section.. tq before
@@DrawshStudio if those playlists didnt change over time.. i'd like to learning them offlinely, i mean saving all of them for the learning purpose.. btw i already know about what is perspective, n any other art fundamentals before.. but huft, i still struggle to draw ANYTHING in ANY ANGLE.. especially COMPLEX FORMS/OBJECTS like scapula it self.. n then drawing it with its neighbour like ribs, spine, humerus, etc in ANY ANGLE.. draw scapula in any angle, then draw it with the ribs, arms, spine, etc in any angle also
Hello, the how to draw the human figure is my figure drawing playlist, if that is what you mean. Overtime the playlists will grow and and change, especially the figure content. However, I am balancing many topics on my channel as well as my full time job so it will take me some time.
To draw anything in any angle you must master the ability to draw basic forms from your imagination, then understand how to break down complex objects into those simple forms. The human figure is one of the most complex forms, but must still be drawn as boxes, cylinders, etc. then you must learn proportion and anatomy to be able to draw from imagination anything you want. :)
It absolutely is! Which is why this is where I start my students but not where we stop. This process really effectively teaches the mechanics, proportion, and structure of the figure. But once students in my class are comfortable drawing these simple armatures quickly and accurately we discuss more complex gesture methods like the besnshape method which is what I generally use. I have a handout on my Patreon that talks about my first moves in gesture, and the book I wrote on the topic (gesture drawing: foundation of the figure) takes you step by step through the whole process and beyond. You can find that on gumroad or Amazon. The reality is no single approach will work for every pose in every position, which is why we need to expand our drawing vocabulary beyond lsf. As I said, the beanshape to me is the most effective and My video on the beanshape shows how to transition from the line/shape to bean.
Yes! The box forms are a valuable tool to aid in construction not more complex forms like the ribcage and pelvis. Although it isn’t necessary to build the figure to get more complex than a box. I discuss this in depth in the book I wrote on this subject: drawshstudio.gumroad.com/l/hwGubK
"It may be challenging, and It's okay to struggle, but if you don't give up, you will get it". Solid advice. Thank you Josh.
My pleasure Dave! Its important to remember that everyone struggles, that just makes you one of those real human beings :)

the box is hard... really hard, i think ill stick with the bean since its just one go while the box needs perspective.

To draw anything in any angle you must master the ability to draw basic forms from your imagination, then understand how to break down complex objects into those simple forms. The human figure is one of the most complex forms, but must still be drawn as boxes, cylinders, etc. then you must learn proportion and anatomy to be able to draw from imagination anything you want. :)

Can I draw the pelvis and ribcage inside a box? To draw a pose?
Yes! The box forms are a valuable tool to aid in construction not more complex forms like the ribcage and pelvis. Although it isn’t necessary to build the figure to get more complex than a box. I discuss this in depth in the book I wrote on this subject:
