I love your style David!! Your drawing tutorials are IMO the best on RUclips. I've recently started buying up Batman the dark Knight comics because of your art. You're quickly becoming one of my all time favourite comic book artists!!!!
Thanks David! So much helpful information in this video! I first learned from Jim Lee & started practicing beginning my figure drawings with the torso, however this video helps immensely on what to do after the "vest shape". Thank you sir!
I can "stop-motion" my way through this video as often as I need and... voila! I copied my tutorial and learned a thing or two! Add a few times playing it whole for the narrative... Perfect! Thanks, mate.
I really needed this. My major problem with drawing is mentally I refuse to use form lines to define the shape of the figure. I can outline just fine it's just the inner structure to put in the details that's holding me back. It's the missing piece I need to reach my full potential. Thanx!
I just signed up for the Dynamite project. I really like your work and Jim Lee's. You and Jim Lee has helped me improve my art and plow through my artist block. Thank you Mr. Finch.
Sir, you clear all my all queries. How you see the world and make concepts and apply it are amazing . That's why you are my main inspiration sir thanks you
I've been struggling to draw women for a long time now. I tried the hip bone technique you show in the video and wow it made a major difference! Still struggling with breast but that will take practice.
Thank you for making this video, I've recently taken up drawing and it's difficult to find a working style. I usually get lost in details as well, your "mechanical" method keeps me focused. Great job 😊
This is so helpful I’ve been getting better at women but still just never got it “right” this explained things so much more clear than previous videos I’ve watched
Thank you for posting this i have struggled as an illustrator all my life. With drawing nothing but basic flat one dimensional drawings. I've learned so much just watching just a few of your videos now im excited to practice more :)
David Finch,did Batman#700 variant which is one of my favorite Batman covers along with Batman#251,the famous Neal Adams cover which has still gotta be one of the best Batman covers of all time.
Finch, I have been a huge fan of your work since 2010 and I usually collect everything you do, I am immensely grateful for being one of my inspirations and for providing such high quality material for free here on youtube, I wish you all the best. !
I still have your old Gnomon DVD and I go back to it everytime I need to review basic mannequin figures. That being said I noticed that the way you mannequinize the figure changed quite a bit from back then. Its honestly really cool to watch how even pros end up changing and optimizing their skills over time. Been really enjoying the content on your channel man!
Hi David, I have been a fan of yours since I read Moon Knight back in 2007/2008. The art in that run rocks and contains many of my favorite panels. Can't believe I get to watch your channel and learn from you now, thanks for making your content. You should draw MK in one of your Sunday streams!
Great video, good examples and a lot of explaining, thanks but I hardly have seen women with legs that long and hips that small (a little detail) but as I said. I can't draw like you and learned quite a bit thanks for sharing.
hello! I still really liked this vid and it was pretty helpful for me, but could we get a future video that covers thicker body types as well? Your really good at teaching and drawing thicker forms with different fat distributions is a whole different thing and I think that would be a really helpful vid.
I'm Having much trouble in Drawing Female torsos. I draw but sometimes my female torso ended up like a deformed Guitar shaped body. Thank you very much this is very Helpful.
I love when you talk about "my breasts" hehe - sorry! Love your work - immensely grateful for your time, energy, and attitude. You're a Legend for sharing your talents with us all!
I really like Your approach on explaining all this stuff! You do it in a way, that's so easy to understand! That's a rare Quality! 😊... This Episode =🔥!
Okay I've been studying art books and courses since the early 80s and this is the first time I see the basic male and female figures portrayed as the same height.
@@namelessjedi2242 I have literally hundreds of books on the subject, including a complete original set of the legendary Famous Artists course from the 60s (given to me by my father; I'm third generation professional artist), all of Hogarth's books, and many more modern ones, and NONE of those have ever portrayed a basic male and basic female fgure next to each other as the same height to show "how the relative human proportions are the same". This is political correct insanity sneaking into the craft of draftsmanship too. But, nice try, I guess. (Let me venture another guess: you love the Disney Star Wars "trilogy".)
@@kentjensen4504 I understand you’re a professional artist that’s been working for decades, but this isn’t politically correct or some shit. It’s just making it simpler. Why take several gaps in reference between the male and female body when learning to draw them. Keep them the same so you understand them in relation to each other then draw the heights differing once you understand the figure. Stop making it into a culture war.
My god this helps...this really really helps thank you so much! I haven't checked your other videos yet but is there or can there be a tutorial on arms and hands?? 😯
Thank you Mister Finch for this long list of beautiful tutorials and congratulations on your work and your style. However, I don't find the tutorials on the subject seemingly simpler: how to draw the regular male head.
Very cool! I'm starting to draw the second edition of a original comic book(written by the great @WEEB Art ), and I really wanted to know how to draw the female form, because I really such at it. Thanks again for all of these tutorials, they are really helpful in becoming a comic boook artist.
This is amazing. I tend to have a lot of trouble gauging the connection between the hips and the ribcage when in persepctive/when its foreshortened. I can never get that relationship right and the overlap always looks off. I hope you make a video on this in the future!
Watching this for a second time, would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on back muscles and drawing the back from multiple angles in particular? I find it really hard to connect the head to the torso from a back view specifically
amazing tutorial, i think if you start with the head first it would be easier to follow proportions you explained in the beginning of this tutorial. thank you David
Can you teach how to draw "weak" guys? All that I find is how to draw guys "bodybuilders" But I have a history that would be impossible to them be like that..
I was drawing a female character right now and I was actually struggling making the female torso realistic. Perfect timing! Thank you David!!
Same, coincidences
Alexavier Graulau we also know each other. Extra coincidence.
It's been a challenge for me for years. And there's always a better way, so I keep experimenting!
Ummm
For me male body come off easier for than female. But female body or faces is way difficult for me besides drawing buildings and etc.
I’ve been struggling with torsos my entire life
And now finally I found a tutorial with the style I want
