Video Transcript:
Hi, and welcome back to the second video in this lesson series on how to draw the human figure.
By the way, if you haven't watched the first video yet, I recommend that you do that right now and then come back to this one.
To watch the first video, just click on the link below...
Lesson #1: • Figure Drawing Lessons...
Just as a quick recap, in the last video, we talked about the big reason why so many artists struggle with learning figure drawing.
I told you about the story of my co-instructor Michael and how he really hurt his long term success by skipping over the fundamentals.
And I also hinted at what I believe to be a big secret to your success in figure drawing... which is a structured step-by-step approach to learning that's designed to teach you a number of critical skills, each one building on the last.
So in this video, we're going to dive deeper into this "structured approach" and I'm going to reveal the first ingredient in our figure drawing success formula.
And that is...
PROPORTION!
Not surprisingly, proportion is one of the most important skill to develop. Until you really understand how to draw human proportion, you drawings will never look right.
It's the core foundation that everything else we will learn will be based on.
But for some reason, this is also the biggest sticking points for most beginners. But today, we're going to fix that!
I'm going to show you a simple drawing exercise that will help you make sense of proportion and allow you to really lock in that knowledge and make it a part of you.
Let's go over to the drawing table and get to it!
So the key to this exercise to to construct a basic figure completely from scatch. By doing this, it's going to help you to understand the rules that governs how a human body is put together.
And it's going to help embed all those rules of proportion into your mind and make it second nature.
So let's begin.
[SEE VIDEO FOR DETAILS]
There you have it. We've just created our own human body from scratch, complete with it's own rules and measurements.
Congratulation! You now know more about drawing human proportion than 90% of beginner artists.
Now it's time to imprint what you just learned into your long term memory.
Research studies have shown that when we are first exposed to new information (lectures, articles, tutorials), the vast majority of that knowledge slips out of your short term memory within the first 30 minutes.
But there an easy way to remedy this problem and that's by employing a technique called, "Spaced Repetition"
It's basically the idea that reviewing a piece of new information over a period of time will cement it into your mind and dramatically increase retention.
So here's your homework for today:
Immediately after watching this tutorial, take out a clean piece of paper and repeat the exercise we just did.
Try remember as much on your own as you can. Even when you can't immediately recall something, try for a while.
By putting in effort to remember rather than just passively referring back the the lesson, you'll actually make the information stick much deeper.
And when you really can't remember, go ahead and refer back the this lesson.
Then repeat this again 30 minutes later. Then one more time 1 hour later. And finally once more the next day.
By doing this you will solidify everything you've learned and lock it into your long term memory.
Oh and by the way, you can apply this concept to anything you learned for maximum effectiveness.
Of course, there's a lot more to learn about human proportion, but this exercise should give you a nice head start.
In tomorrow's lesson, we'll learn about how to apply perspective your figure to make it look more 3 dimensional and interesting.
Step 1: Draw a line - 2:17
Step 2: Find the midpoint (crotch) - 2:46
Step 3: Divide top (top chest) - 3:08
Step 4: Divide top (chin) - 3:24
Step 5: Divide above mid (belly button) - 3:34
Step 6: Divide bottom (knees) - 3:44
Step 7: 1st quarter oval (head) - 5:23
Step 8: Dot headlength topchest (nipple) - 5:40
Step 9: Half chin & topchest with V (collar bone) - 6:18
Step 10: Half collarbone and chin - 6:40
Step 11: Intersect nipple to oval - 7:26
Step 12: Dot slight below headlength at belly button - 8:36
Step 13: 2/3 and bit below between belly and crotch, dot headlength (leg joints) - 10:17
Step 14: Extrapolate V Belly to nipples (arm joints) - 12:21
Step 15: Collar V to joints curve (arm) - 12:47
Of course, create some methods in your head to remember the steps. Practice without the video and soon it'll be second nature.
Hope this helps.
Thanx buddy
Thunderaga thank you so much 😊
THAANK YOUUUU
best comment ever, timestamping the greatest tutorial ever. thank you
As a more experienced artist than absolute begginer that wants to better learn how to draw the figure
The devide line thing makes is kinda hard for me , can we just use head proportions for everything?
also here are translation to head proprtions (might be wrong idk):
Mid point = 4 heads
top chest = 2 heads (we are counting up to down and we count the head itself as 1 head)
End of chin (end of head) = 1 head
Belly button= 3 heads
Knees= 6 heads
Who else is here to learn something new during quarantine ?
Love the video though
Keep going dude
Nieva Akemi more so to refine my skills as well☺️
Yup, my search history is now full of "how to draw perspective/hair/faces/etc"😂
Me lol ✌️
yuppp
im actually an art student but want a head start before I have this class next semester lol
I cant believe how many tutorials basically skip this part of drawing the figure. This basic simplification of proportions is the best thing I've seen on youtube so far. Not only this, you go on to explain to us HOW to actually practice and become better. This is a huge help. Thank You Very Much.
Exactly so.
agreed. The problem with being skilled is assuming everyone has the basic skills they do, and the same understanding. Newbies need it barney style please! lol
what a difficult game of connect-the-dots :0
meat sweats I See You Everywhere
true
lol
😅
I'm a musician and I'm trying to do art, too. This helps a lot, thank you.
+dagrimreaper93 Nice! I been wanting to learn music for a while.
+A Noble Waffle art for kid culb
dagrimreaper93 I'm trying to learn these both as well
dagrimreaper93 same here.
dagrimreaper93 but isn't music a form of art too?(ik this is a yr ago, but)
The proportion method u shared was really helpful and not too long or too short, thank you. Many, many thank yous for sharing the method to memorizing information / lessons! :)
I died when you said, Locate the nipples..!! xD
but yeah bro,....this is exactly what i was looking for,*not the nipples*....Clear and to the point ! #Thanks!
missed out the ellbows lool i had to google it and found out it lines up with belly button
Thanks i know this comment was four years ago but it helped a lot.
@Quick GIFSyeah the dot you use to join up the shoulders.
I am a disabled veteran that has a lot of memory issues. As much as I am enjoying the art of this. The memory part of the lesson will impact my life much more. Thank you for the videos and please keep them going. :)
Mind= blown. I always see these stick figures in tutorials, but they're always like "Now, draw your simple stick figure reference..." Like, how dafuq do I do that, what part of "beginner" do you not understand. YOU ON THE OTHER HAND. Gah, thanks so much. :3
Grayson Redwood LOL, thank you! Yes, I've always found that to be very frustrating too when I was trying to learn.
I'm lost... the dots you placed for the nipples are NOT a head length away from the spine.
Thanks so much. You made drawing so easy and fun.
Now I understand concepts that I struggle for some time.
+NoritaLinda Glad to hear that, Norita! I'll be coming out with an updated version of this series in the future.
wow, when i look at my sketchy drawing i feel like an artist. : )
After six minutes he drew a head and that is where I gave up.
Thanks for translating a right-brain skill into left-brain steps. Great teaching!
I think you might enjoy the book "the Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron, it might rattle that right brain of yours
Loving this and so helpful. for a guy who drew as a kid and cant afford to go to art school, and has a job that is not artful at all, this tutorial brings me so many smiles. Thanks so much for providing your tutorials. My stress levels are going down.
I alredy seen lots of ways to get the `stick figure` down, this seems to be the best so faar, trough its a bit slow, but proportions are correct, and are easy to remember. Trough it gets hard to measure these points when it gets to 3d and character moves araund.
I absolutely agree. Not only does throwing in figure drawing every once in a while helps keeps you sharp, but know how to draw the human body is essential to being a well rounded artist.
*Don't watch this series if you plan on actually learning something.*
Proportions can easily be learned elsewhere, and they're all you'll be aware of after this series is over, and you won't have anything near mastery of proportions either. The first few episodes are okay, but then everything changes and you end up being forced to just copy an arm and some shading for it (something this video or another of his advises AGAINST) without understanding how or why the lighting is the way it looks, except for a vague 2D representation of the light source for a 3D subject. A lot of questions are left to be asked (or answered in an expensive DVD set).
I was suspicious of this series pretty early when I saw the scam-like production, but I gave this man the benefit of the doubt, considering that he may not be an expert video developer. By the end of the series, you will want most of your time back. This is all just a long, drawn out (pun intended) advertisement for a DVD that I'm not sure will help. I don't care if the DVD does actually help, because I'd rather spend my money on something else instead of a product from someone who has attempted to build up false trust by wasting the time of the viewers with conflicting nonsense and then asking for money for the "real" product after *two hours* of content.
I'm glad I stuck with this series though, because now I can see what it is, and I can help you with your learning by advising you to *go elsewhere.* There are more resources here on RUclips--just do a search. You can even get some very cheap books (used and sometimes new) on different subjects of drawing like shading, anatomy, portraiture, etc. on Amazon, Ebay, or other sites. Just be sure to take reviews into consideration or just get the book and see for yourself. At least you'll have the actual product and not some advertisement that will just waste your time.
The Vicious Drifloon Google will find you _thousands_ of tutorials and books on drawing. I gave hints of where to go. It will take less than 5 minutes to find a nice book on Amazon for $1-$30 (Plus shipping).
I don't see a point in spending days looking through materials to see which I think is the best to post on RUclips. My comment was to warn people of this one bad tutorial because it's unethical. I'm not that great of an artist and my "collection" of drawing books is practically nil at the moment, so I don't have much expertise on what to get. Product reviews should be able to help (sorting by "negative" can be very helpful).
The Vicious Drifloon Ok, here's your prescription - Andrew Loomis "Figure Drawing For All It's Worth". One of the absolute best. Also, see drawingbooks.org for more books. You're welcome.
***** Yeah, spoon-feeding would be even better.
thanks you, was beginning to question this long ass video if i would actually learn anything.
I wanted to go back to basics but didn't really help.
Why is something as simple as drawing this still so hard for me, ARGH!
well, maybe you're feeling uncomfortable about the pose you're drawing in, try to sit properly so you can commit yourself to the drawing. This is pure geometry so you shouldn't have other problems, unless you can't draw a line.
Been practising all evening. Wasn't paying enough attention and was lining things up wrong. It still looks a bit shaky but I feel like I'm making progress!
Altaranalt Well, that means you're not on the dead spot :D if you can still keep doing better and better every time, that means you're progressing :D
Maybe you should start to learn to draw circles and ellipses first. That got rid of my shake lines. The way the circle for the head is drawn in this video is in my opinion not a good technique. (No offense meant). The quality of your lines decides the quality of your work as much as the proportions. And if you start out sketching for a serious attempt at a good and complete drawing, don't use a hard pencil (h1-h6) but use something soft which will erase easily like a b2. If you use a hard pencil and you start shading your character, then you will still see where your sketch was, because the hard pencil damaged the structure of the paper there.
i know right?
Can I just say thank you? This is the clearest video I have found on RUclips about proportions of the body. And the helpful tip at the end was also refreshing.
I always wanted to draw, and spent a couple years in middle school trying to learn, but it was from manga books and trying to copy anime. Now I'm 22 years old with an urge to draw again, but this time, I want to start back again and on to the right foot. You've helped me realize that I was going about it all wrong all those years ago, and I am very grateful for content like this, thank you so very much.
my art teacher would randomly draw human figures and tell us to copy it. It so hard to do that when the teacher doesn't explain it. THANK YOU so much for this drawing lesson. i have been struggling with human figures for a long time THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
This was actually the only time I got happy to hear homework. I feel like this full tutorial will help out a lot. Thanks ^_^
I love this tutorial. Can't wait until I finish the exercise. This has really given me a boost in confidence.
been a professional artist for 13 years and figure drawing has always veen a weak point for me, these will help ne improve tyat for sure. thank you.
i love it when he says nipple (nippool) xD
Yeah XD this is me,
Ethan: "then the next step is to locate the nippools"
Me: *giggles* heheheheh XD
Moonlight Glimmer lol
and if i want to draw kevin hart's teacher ?
Good video, thanks for the help! I'm having trouble finding the motivation to draw because I'm a perfectionist that needs everything to be perfect the first time. I'm not sure how to get past this. Do you have any advice?
I found out a long time ago that blank sketch paper tends to make me want to be perfect. Try getting a regular subject notebook, you know, the ones with the sentence lines in it. For some reason, for me, I tend not to get so worked up about the drawings in those, since it doesn't seem to have the same anxiety of that perfectly clean sheet of drawing paper, it allows me to be more experimental and loose.
Thanks! That sounds like a great idea. I can totally see that because I have no problem doodling on some scraps but once I want to practice "actually" drawing, I take out my sketch book and never know where to start. I'll try that out and see if it works for me. :)
I just started and had the exact same concern. If I don't get it right the first time, I say to myself "whelp, I guess this isn't for me."
But I realize that is exactly what keeps me from trying. I have to keep fighting that inclination of downing myself because what i think should be good is not as good as what I am seeing amazing artists do. So I am inclined to quit. I now continue to bully my own brain to get out of the idea that if I don't get it right the first time its not that I am untalented, it just means I have to practice. Its the only way.
I have committed to drawing everyday (which is hard cause i have late meetings and come home exhausted) and to give myself some timeline benchmarks (if I am going to commit to this) I decided to write the date on my sketchbook at the top corner of each page so I have a timeline. I watch the same videos and do the tutorials and exercises, drawing circles and shading over and over, and every other day add a new tutorial to start getting my brain and muscles ready to practice a new skill.
I have been doing it for about 6 days now and I have smiled every time I look back at the first days sketches. My freehand circles are cleaner, my touch when it comes to shading is finer and more relaxed, and while its not perfect.... it is way better than when I started because I can flip over my sketchbook pages and see the progress.
Just keep at it, cause I am trying too, and am enjoying the results. :)
+Mike Murray
Thanks, this was really motivational :D
thanks for this
I have a problem with those "slightly above" or "slighty under" measurements. I always seem to get somewhat wrong.. Do you have any tips on this subject? Tks!
same
This helps alot mate. Deeply appreciate the help you've given me. Cheers
+Frank holm You're very welcome, Frank!
I write and am just now discovering how vast this art thing is...
I started using this method sense last night and have been practicing it tonight. My figure drawing skills have improved immensely! Thank you.
is anyone elses drawing turning out to have extremely long legs 😂😓
The body is 7 1/2 heads. The 1/2 it is the distance of the foots looking in front of. 7 it is just too short, and 8 will look like "El Greco" human body proportions. I'm Art teacher.
Thank you for this. I've looked at drawing books that give the 8-head figure and show how to do it and I've seen other proportion tutorials but none of them really spell it out like you do and you give a great way to keep practicing at it. I've been painting for years but never been able to do figures and I'm taking a step back Michael and going over the fundamentals. You've made it really easy, I look forward to going learning from your next lessons!
These videos are helpful and i appreciate you making them for everybody to learn from but you need to stop preaching the idea that these things are vital to an artists success. It's not about capturing life in the most literal sense it's about communicating your feelings in a way that others can understand. And that doesn't always mean following the same formula that's been done over and over. An artist needs to find themselves in their own process and thrive from that. Too many impersonal works have been created by the idea that art should only be done a certain way. And that's just not real.
I always appreciate when somebody finds the time and energy to make a tutorial like this, so thank you. However, speaking for myself, this approach was the thing that was holding my drawing back for a long time. It was good to know where the important body parts were supposed to be, but it always came up unnatural. I guess (again, at least for me) at the beginning the most important thing is compactness of the figure, so I almost always start without measuring the proportions. I just pick a part of body I already know how I want it to look like, eg. the angle of pelvis and the hip-to-chest line, and start the drawing from that point. This, of course, needs a lot of practice and an equal amount of motivation. It's very helpful to redraw a photos from time to time. I can recommend the pin-up pictures for this. It's usually somewhere on the way between photography and drawing, so both the lines and shading are clearly visible.
am i the only one whose legs seemed wildly disproportionate to the rest of the body?? i did all the measurements right, and they looked fine when it was just a the foundation, but as soon as i tried to draw pants on them they looked absolutely awful. any suggestions??
You know now more than 90% of artists. That's bollocks.
Sharing on my Google Plus Page part 2 of 8 for beginners to drawing..
why cant you do it by eye yourself? i thought you knew how to do this your using a reference piece behind it 11:56 if you think i'm seeing stuff look towards the bottom of the screen notice a small triangle left and right of his line he drew at the start
Thank you! In the very early stages of developing my own comic book characters and story and this helped a lot! I learned this in drawing classes I took in highschool but forgot nearly all of it. Thank you for re teaching me! :)
+Primm Echo You're very welcome, Primm! Thanks for the comment.
would the placement of the nipples be different when drawing women?
I got so anxious seeing the thumbnail with all the detailed figures! But I decided to trust you on the previous video and I thought, "Hey, I can do this. Let's give it a chance." Sooo glad I did! Thank you so much! I'll be practicing as breaks between studying for my classes :)
+Brithany Marbun Thank you, Brithany. I'm very glad you watched the video too :-)
Thanku so much I had no idea about how to do this
+Pratit Todkar You're welcome, Pratit! I'm glad it helped.
I kind of just drift off halfway...
Also, I'm curious as to why hands always end at the crotch's tip (never thought I'd say that) when in reality they usually end at the middle of the femur :L
Vivian Lee Interesting... You're right. The finger tips does go a bit past the end of the crotch when you extend them. So I was a bit off.
Proportions does vary from person to person and artist do change the real proportions of the figure in order to suit the style that they are drawing in (comic books and manga are two good examples). So unless you are drawing a super realistic style, the proportions are rarely exact.
In this case, I think my measurements were slightly off. In any case, I will be doing more research in the this subject in the future. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hmm, that's a very good question. I don't have much experience with drawing cartoon, so please take this answer for what it's worth. But I think cartoon proportions follows a different set of rules. So if you are interested in drawing cartoons, you need to practice with those types of proportions.
Hopefully in the future I can add some cartoon drawing tutorials to this channel.
Hope that helps.
VERY nice sir. and even the non drawing tips like the memory one at the end are battling my bad habits and helping me learn what i can only imagine is as fast as i could hope
Really helpful thankyou! I was doing the chest cavity too wide the first few practices and then realised my mistake and why my figures were looking very stocky! Thankyou!
Stephanie Peake That's fantastic. Noticing and correcting your mistakes is the best way to improve.
Thank you so much! I'm a massage therapist so I'm happy that I'm working from a pretty solid anatomical understanding. This really helps me with the proportions and symmetry! And yes, I'm learning a new skill while quarantining lol
THANK YOU!! im planning to draw a very beautiful woman with perfect average body with pencil but shes bind with ropes. actually im planning to draw a beautiful bdsm
I draw a short stocky character for myy assessment front 3/4 side and back I drew the character of a pump man but failed my assessment because in the line up the head of one was to small and the nose height differs lacks construction under the arms width differs had a bad day The tutors comment was try to avoid direct front on not natural tricky to get looking good confuses silhouette, never heard of silhouette before I was a learner I looked it up could do with a big helping hand,
penny
Penny Mitchell Hi Penny, thank you for the question. It's a bit hard for me to visualized what is going on from the words. I think a picture of your drawing would help a lot. If you'd like to post your question and drawing on the facebook page, I would love to help :-)
I know I'm commenting too soon, but how would I use this in dynamic poses? It's pretty good for a neutral standing charcter, but what about when a character is in posed, some feature would appear different due to foreshortening
+Epsio0 Yes, you are absolutely right. This video was meant as a foundation set up. I will make a tutorial on the subject of dynamic poses in the future.
I probably watched this 5 times It really helps!! Like you said i drew along with you and while I was doing the homework after I watched I mostly forgot everything xD whoops but I watched it again I will try to draw it on my own Thank you for this video series!!
Great tutorial. Loved the extra bit of information you gave that applies to other aspects of life as well. That knowledge alone is invaluable! Thanks a lot!
I figured out from the drawing grid and drawing the character 7 to 8 heads tall. Each space rather 7 or 8 heads tall is basically 1" between each line. So basically if your figure is 7 heads tall the space between each line is 1". I learned this from school.
Please help, I don’t know where to put the elbows...
That was actually what I was thinking about doing. I am planning on making the next course on perspective drawing and how to draw cities and scenes. Thanks for the questions.
do you really NEED to watch the first vid tho?
too many empty words, hardly any actual tips
This is one of the most absolute helpful tutorials I've ever seen. I'm so sick of stuck up artists out there going out of their way to try and mislead their students simply because they're afraid that they're going to surpass them someday.
Thank you so much for this. c:
bellisimo .....semplice e efficace.....mille Grazie ....
very nice boss. A big like from my side
is it a way we can upload our art to show what kind of progress we made or to even show you so we can see where we made mistakes?
lynell wesley Yes, absolutely! Please post your art work to the My Drawing Tutorials Facebook page here: facebook.com/MyDrawingTutorials and I'll be very happy to comment on it.
If you can, can you please do some more written with pictures tutorials.
Thanx Stephen
+Stephen Patterson Hi Stephen, do you mean like the format of this video? So make more videos like this one? Thanks!
Yes please, the more the better. I've just started to draw & I find it very relaxing & interesting. I've just turned 50 so I decided to take up drawing as well as photography, But when I draw something like a skull or a ornate cross, I can't seem to get the proportions right. Please can you help with this problem.
Thanks
Stephen
how do you draw super hero with great shading
how do girl proportions compare to this? would we make the crotch higher?
i1ov3Ram3n make the hips wider, waist skinnier add breasts and make the thighs slightly bigger.
You should put your paid course on www.udemy.com I've wanted to buy your course for years but honestly man the payment process makes me nervous. Not that you're a scammer. but the payment process im pretty sure made people nervous. Just my two cents
+shininguri1 Thank you very much for that feedback. I had no idea. I will look into udemy and also try to make the payment process easier in the future. Thanks for your support!
no problem glad that I could help.
I have always had problems with drawing the body and now that i found you, i am sure i'll succeed in no time. That's was a great lesson! Thanks so much!
The approach seems a tad mechanical, at first, but becomes feasible. Especially when using the memory reinforcement exercises he recommends. I like this. :)
I've been drawing animals all my life and decided to start drawing humans. This is really helpful! Each month, I'll come back to this comment and share my progress as an artist for a year. By that time, I'll be 16 years old and hopefully better than I am now.
Edit:
First of March (Day I started): I made an extra figure and drew a character with it. The character looked really manly, but that's probably because I've been doing my proportions wrong, and I used a more cartoon-like style before. The figure was really useful and helped eliminate issues I had previously. I'm pretty happy with it~
You sound like kripke from the big bang theory
reply to John Meisenheimer: you're just jalous cause u cant draw. all you gotta do is watch and learn, idiot.
A lot of art teachers will just say “draw what you see,” but this stuff is necessary for most people first. I think artists forget that they struggled through learning basics to get to the point where they can draw what they see. Thanks. I needed the “for dummies” version 😊
Thank you! I'm trying to write a comic and I think this is a good start :)
Kill the Ignorance You're welcome! Good luck with your project. I love comic books!
this opened up a part of my brain, i swear... thank you! i know this video is old, but still, youre helping the newer generations of artists as well :) hopefully more people my age can find this
Thankyou for this clear lesson,Hope I can find more of your lessons.This was done 8 years ago.Thanks again
Thank You so Much....you're a great teacher... it help me a lot... im now mastering it... thank you again... =)
Thank you so much!!! My school doesn't have any art class or program, so everything I know I just sort of figured out for myself. Thank you so much for uploading these videos!! They really help me learn the technical skills that I otherwise wouldn't be able to learn!❤️
Superb vedio..! :) Really helpful Thanks bro.. (y) :P
I already knew about the memory thing :3 I'm the type of person who, if I really like a movie I'll watch it again and again. You'll be surprised at some of the things you miss the first time round! As a child, I could quote movies like Watership Down and Jurassic Park verbatim, every single scene! That ability is now lost, but it goes to show what the human brain is truly capable of if you give it enough exercise.
I'm rewinding it again and again but only getting "6 heads in the line"...?
hahah really nice tutorial, only missed the elbows... but everything else was really useful!
anyways now I know how to draw humans without elbows :P (just kidding) I'll be following the next episodes!
3:05 He says to eyeball it but he has dots to show where they are
+BananaDraw He meant to eyeball where to place the dots; meaning approximate measurements. The dots will help with reference later.
Based on these vids I purchased PERSPECTIVE MADE SIMPLE 1/2 FIGURE DRAWING 1/2 and REALISTIC PORTRAITS 1/2 and I have to say I found these dvd's VERY VERY disappointing. I doubt if these so called artists are professionaly trained. Also they need training in how to speak English. Sorry to be so negative guys but I think if you are going to charge us you need to go back to Art School.
This seems an AWFUL lot like 'The Structure of Man' drawing series from Riven Phoenix/Alienthink.com...and by like, I mean pretty much exactly....
Thank you I love learning and your videos certainly are well thought out and easy to follow. I appreciate your effort and talent, can't wait to view more of your lessons!
Hi Missy!,it was fun taking the class with you yesterday. i know your co teacher! please tell her I said hello. Loved my first lesson here. You make drawing enjoyable....and "doable!" Signed, your Group 3 Partner - "Adventurous Ada." LOL
Very good tutorial. Thanks.
You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment :-)
thank you soooooo much, my friend kept texting me to go to your channel, so i did and ive been doing my homework and stuff you did, now i can draw human beings!. thanks man, youre awesome :)
You are very generous with your time and skills, and are a very good and pleasant instructor. Hope you are a very successful artist.
1 minute into this lesson after the first video "JUST F****N TEACH US SOMETHING ALREADY JESUS"
Pretty cool. Nice to see more drawing instructors on RUclips.
thank you soooooo much! I'm doing my GCSE in art soon and part of it is drawing humans! you have no idea how much you are helping me!
Did he just draw a human skeleton!? OoO!
Wow! That's an Amazing Drawing! :D
You are a wonderful person, and I am happy and grateful to you
Video is very useful explains in a simple,
Greetings to you My teacher

You are wonderful man. I've seen tutorial 1 and 2 so far but what you say in the end of the second one was really important. Thank you!
isn't the arms supposed to reach to the mid thighs? my art teach in school taught me it that way. other then that this is a really helpful video thanks for the sessions.
how do you draw super hero with great shading
David Hines Well, learning figure drawing is a big part of that. I love to draw comic book super heroes myself so I'll definitely be doing a bunch of videos on that in the future.
