- 🌮 here We discuss the BIG idea George Bridgman had that revolutionize the way we draw anatomy.
👉Enough Theory? Put this into practice: • Anatomy Method I Wish ...
We'll also talk about
🌮 how to draw anatomy from Bridgman's revolutionary mindset
🌮 I talk about how everything Bridgman taught in his books is a CONSEQUENCE of this key insight.
🌮 I talk about what we can learn from this key insight, and how this helps us draw better and more creatively.
George Bridgman was a Canadian American art educator who changed the way we all do art to this day. As a Canadian, he hid a non-confrontational secret rebellion against the established artistic dogma of the day in his teachings that spanned over the 6 decades. He changed the system as part of the system from within the system. His secret thesis was so effective and liberating that we all still practice his teachings today, even though we are not aware of it.
Have any tips or story from learning or reading Bridgeman? let us know in the comments! :D
Learning actual anatomy is what helped bridgman art click. How much skill and control on the body.
He thinks the body as planes and which direction they go too and it's mind blowing
oh totally agree, that's a super important point... it's not impossible to learn anatomy from Bridgeman, but there are much clearer sources for that. i feel like Bridgeman is a much better suited to to learn high level design of the anatomy! thanks for the tip.
Been looking for a video that explains bridgeman's anatomy and this is one of the best
yey thanks~ glad it was of interest :D
Interesting video. Bridgman is hard to study alone, especially if this is your first anatomy. Nonetheless I think his book are great gems and you could benefit so f much. I recommend not going through his books alone with a teacher. There is a great bootcamp in youtube from Marshall Vandruff in which he is deciphering all the essential drawings in Bridgmans Complete Guide to Drawing From Life. Strongly recommend, great teacher, amazing human being and it’s a hella fun bootcamp that’s like 16-17 hours. Hope this was helpful and sorry for my bad english (not a native speaker).
second this!! he's also super funny and chill
If you want boredom, watch how easily Marshall can make you yawn but, if you want to learn how to draw, watch Glenn Vilppu.
Which Vilppu would you recommend? he's got stuff spanning the last 30 years. Ionno for me i like watching Marshall he always make me chuckle 😂
Hiii i found this video randomly and loved it! I also checked out your ArtStation I really liked how you paint aswell. Awesome job!
yey, so glad to hear that dude! I had a lot of fun trying to be creative with this piece of art philosophy. Made it mostly for myself as practice, i'm glad other ppl get a kick out of it too :D
Amazing videos! Could you create more step-by-step tutorials on gesture drawing? Your videos on this topic are incredibly cool!
thanks for requesting this!! i've been buggin my friend to help me make more gesture videos (like the female figure one).
Real confusion is the one the spelling of his name left on me. It feels as though there should be an E but there isn't. Then you get used to it until you see someone misspell his name and you start doubting yourself. Then you run into the word "bridge" and your whole world starts to fall apart.
All that is somehow very reflective of my art journey.
haha that's SO true! to add to the irony is the fact that "e" is a silent one in "bridge"--- it's not like we pronounce "bridge" as "brijj-ee". When i type BridgEman, the "e" automatically comes out of my middle finger.... it's an erroneous overcompensation for my IQ insecurities to say "See!! i know that "E" is silent!!" when there's absolutely no "E" to begin with. 😔 It's the haunted phantom E.
this is a great video. Commenting to boost the engagement
hurra~ greatly appreciated! comments are huge for these small videos ^_^
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
thaanks, it was a super fun editing exercise :D
Wonderful video, I have a better appreciation of Bridgeman now 🙌
thaaanks!! 😂😂😂 but epic fail!! i just noticed there's no "E" in Bridgman (title should be corrected now but all the text in the video will stay for ETERNITY!!! hehehe
Bridgman stan here, you're spot on. Some other things, he asserts (correctly) that the juxtaposition of curves, straights and other forms is the genesis of style and his work is one of the clearest at showing the mechanical structure of anatomy as a working system, as opposed to a still lifeless diagram.
As an aside, in relation to the video itself, I think (in my personal taste) that the edits with clips from sitcoms was a bit overused/on the nose.
Thanks for the video.
thanks for the support :D
and thanks for the tip!! will definitely reduce number of (barely related) clips... i sorted forced them in cuz i's a fan xD
great video
thanks a bunch! trying for a fun philosophical take at bridgeman hehe
What ? French academy drawing technique breaks images into straights. Charles Bargue drawing course was published in 1866. Bridgman at that time was 2 years old. I think this is kind of click bait and the other people you mentioned did already good job at explaining the essence of his philosophy.
Absolutely agree with you, but it's also worth pointing out that both of those lines of teachings (Bargue and French Acad.) COMPLETELY embraced the traditional dogma in the final representations of the figure. Here is where our ideas diverged a bit: my point (which i explain poorly for sure) wasn't that "Bridgeman invented the straight line/ruler", but that he thought beyond the traditional dogma of the human form and wasn't afraid to mechanize it.
personally i feel there are much bigger, and glaring problems with my own thesis, but i love that your POV pointed out a clarity issue of mine. thanks for the diaglogue, it's my favorite part about making videos🙏
And good god i love the Moderndayjames' Bridgeman videos, so clear and succinct, and immediately practical. i'll try to get there with my writing one day i hope.
(edit: removed awkward double negative in first sentence)
You know ?
I’ve been reading that book for 50 years.
I’m pretty sure you aren’t the only one to figure his main idea.
But you’ve been prattling on for three minutes before you get to the shit he says in chapter one as you’re great insight of his work.
I get you gotta make content but get over your self
you made a true statement, yes.
But also i think my failure was to convey that my main thesis was an art-historic one --- an answer for students who often wondered why Bridgman is held in such high regard --- and about how Bridgman's philosophical differences as an art educator re-painted the landscape of how artists perceived the figure prior to Bridgman. That's why the beginning was dedicated to --- painting the landscape of how artists DID perceive the figure prior to Bridgman.
i.e. rephrasing the intro: New art students are often perplexed by the importance of this weird Bridgman guy. This perplexity comes from the fact that everything we see today is swimming in his influences. In particular, his influences had a huge resurgence in the last 20 years in the entertainment art. So much so that it's hard to imagine it could've evolved another way.
thanks for the writing exercise!! xD dont have the best handle on English, so this is great.
@@KuoSketch well, from what I can tell your english is better than mine. Thanks for the explanation
hot
🌶🌶 thaanks :D
