    These were great tips! When I was younger I would try to draw buildings/stores from a street view, so I used a bit of the perspective method you mentioned.

    Loving the edits and sounds you've added to the video really makes your points pop! Great breakdown of the details regarding shapes as that is a major focal point when it comes to being an artist. Also love how you go into great detail regarding how exactly you can practice drawing styles by using different colors as well as on different grids.
    All new and upcoming artists need to follow your page as its really a crash course on how to become elite in the craft!

    The shapes thing is super helpful and a great way to breakdown things into smaller chunks. Also, why are hands so hard to draw!! 😂

    • @the_artistic_avenger
      @the_artistic_avenger  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hands are complex due to their short ligaments between joints! So many moving parts in such a small window!

    How long do you suggest we stay on shapes and should we incorporate foreshortening or would that come with persoective

      Hey there! Great question! When it comes to following "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," it's all about finding your own pace and what works best for you. As for how long to stick with shapes, it really depends on your comfort level and how confident you feel with them. As mentioned in the best practices at the end of the video, I recommend spending 2 to 5 minutes each day warming up and practicing them or anything you don't feel quite comfortable with. Some artists find it helpful to spend a good amount of time mastering shapes before moving on, while others prefer to integrate shape practice throughout their learning process.
      I'll cover foreshortening exercises in the next video on chapters 7 - 12. I recommend practicing drawing the grids for perspective and placing shapes on those grids for the time being!

      You literally cannot practice them enough. The level of complexity involved in drawing cubes, cylinders, and spheres is mind boggling. Here's what I'd say...if you even _ask_ that question, you don't understand them or what they're used for in drawing. Check out the "drawabox" course, it's great.

    As an aspiring comic book artist, not only am I using the book to help me out, but I’m also copying from John Buscema and his Brother Sal, along with Ron Frenz too. Just to get the experience on how they’re able to do it, plus not only am I using “How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way” as my helper and guide. But I’m also using using the books “Figure Drawing: Design And Invention by Michael Hampton”, and “The Drawing Lesson by Mark Crilley”. Those are the three main books that I’m using to help me out that, and a couple of lessons from the proko website, right about now I’m learning how to do the shapes, and I’m enjoying this process very much.

      Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear you're a fellow True Believer and enjoying the process of learning shapes. These are fantastic books and great recommendations. Which lessons on proko have you been utilizing?

    • @CharlieMonkeh
      @CharlieMonkeh 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@the_artistic_avenger I’m glad you asked the lessons on The Proko Sites lessons I’m learning from are “Drawing Basics”, and “Figure Drawing Fundamentals”, while Michael Hampton has his own course on there called “Introduction To Figure Construction”. I’m basically looking at each course just to take some parts that I could challenge myself and improve some of my skills too. That’s also where I’m getting my ideas at drawing shapes from also.
      Another thing I wanna mention, is I also happen to have another book called “How To Draw Superheroes And Supervillians by Scott Booth” and another one from John Byrne and John Romita Sr. Called “The How To Draw Comics Comic”. Plus I happen to have a set of books from Christopher Hart Called “Figure It Out”, “How To Draw Comic Book Heroes and Villians”, “Drawing Cutting Edge Comics, and “Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy”. I know his books I heard aren’t the best, and people give them a lot of flack, I thought these could be the ones that could help me along the way of at least getting better with my raw skills tho. Also I’m sorry if wrote too much of a response for you.

      It sounds like you've got an arsenal of resources! I'm excited to hear that you're exploring courses on The Proko Sites, especially "Drawing Basics" and "Figure Drawing Fundamentals." Those are fantastic places to refine your skills and push your creative boundaries. And it's awesome that you're not just sticking to one course but picking and choosing bits to challenge yourself-flexibility is key in learning!
      Your book collection sounds like a goldmine too! "How To Draw Superheroes And Supervillains" by Scott Booth and the ones by John Byrne and John Romita Sr. offer some incredible insights into the world of comic art. And hey, don't worry about what others say about Christopher Hart's books-every resource has its value, and if they're helping you grow and improve, then that's what matters most.
      No need to apologize for sharing-I love hearing about your journey and the passion you have for honing your craft. Keep exploring, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep having fun with it!

    You are very helpful and definitely on the money by suggesting the Stan Lee book 'How to Draw Comics the Marvel way'! I found it an excellent book regarding setting up panels.

    Is it weird that I find shapes hard to draw, at times. I guess it’s due to me being a beginner but you would expect shapes being easy to draw.. oh well

    • @the_artistic_avenger
      @the_artistic_avenger  8 месяцев назад +5

      Hey there!
      First off, let me assure you that finding shapes hard to draw, especially as a beginner, is completely normal! Drawing may seem straightforward in theory, but mastering shapes and forms takes practice and patience.
      It's common for beginners to encounter challenges with shapes. That’s why it is critical to take the time to practice becoming more comfortable and confident before moving forward.
      When practicing try to eliminate the thought of perfection. Learn to be comfortable with sketching loose lines, then go back to define the shape. For example, when drawing a cylinder, your first oval might not be angled enough to match the rest of its body. But you then go back and draw it to match perspective.
      Remember, every artist starts somewhere, and it's all about enjoying the learning process and celebrating your progress along the way. If you ever need tips or encouragement with your drawing journey, feel free to reach out through our discord community! Link in channel description.

      Maybe they arent hard to draw but rather not turning out what you want them to look like. Try getting a rock from outside and drawing it. Dont make it perfect because even if you mess up it will still look like a rock. Anyone who looks at the drawing wont know if you messed up or not. Plus it is a good way to get your mind out of copying a subject and to start using the subject as reference and allowing you to create from it.
