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 didn't know how to draw them so I created the manliest female character ever XD
Classic :D
For me it’s the opposite as when I started in my younger years I started with drawing females and then branch off to draw males. My males at first get mistaken for females because it is essentially that but modified
Same
would u say she's rock solid
@@JOE-lq1vs Yeah. It's a badass wrestler now ;)
I’ve been struggling with torsos my entire life
And now finally I found a tutorial with the style I want
Thank you man

Your tutorials are pure gold. So easy to understand, my drawings improve immediately after following along with your vids. Thank you!

Your work is amazing, David. I've learned more legit drawing skills from your youtube channel than I have from a decade of art school.
Thanks! I try to cram as much into them as I can!

This was actually very helpful and following along, I saw my sketches looking way better than the sketches I normally do.

David. .. I absolutely love your work and approach. I've been at this for 45 yrs or so, and I'm still learning so much from your videos. Thx!😊
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!!!!

I always struggled drawing bodies, espescially Women ones and I decided to search a video that would help me and you helped me so muuuuuch, I'm redrawing something I made 5 days ago and damn it looks so much better! ty man I rlly appreciate the help

Thanks!

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.

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'm glad, Chauncey!

David you give the best anatomical tutorial on RUclips.So generous of you:) thank you so much for sharing your insights:)
Wow, thanks!
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 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!

Wanted to give a shoutout for being helpful and adding the right amount of details to my own characters. You rock!
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 😊

Idk why, but I read the title as "how to David Finch the torso" lol.
I'd probably look a bit strange with that torso...
I do that all the time 🤪
That's illegal in 42 states and possibly Puerto Rico.
@@DavidFinchartist Yeah, you mean you're not that tall?
@@DavidFinchartist nah guhdam can pull it off you can too!
Sorry with the danganronpa jokes i just had to
Beautiful and great sharing friend😃❤️.
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!
It's such a vital part of figure drawing! I'm glad you're willing to give it a try.
ruclips.net/video/LeqeZfCFeOs/видео.html
I know this is very old now but I am an art baby and this is exactly what i needed theres so many styles and ways people try and simplify things but none of them work like this (seriously why on earth do so many people suggest always using boxes and sure i get it for perspective but so many weird ways) this just clicked everything together for me i have spent like the past couple weeks breaking my brain but anyways thanks
David please do one on male torsos because I really want to draw those, because this really helped me a lot! x

Even doodles look cool 👍
İ love draw that dynamic drawings and always try to draw that dynamic.
You re awesome david 👏
You really make it look easy. Love the tutorial

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.
ruclips.net/video/0oYubp7sDvA/видео.html
Advice for this video: slow it down, mute it and follow along!
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
ruclips.net/video/fSHAzb0iXKM/видео.html
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
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 =🔥!
ruclips.net/video/0oYubp7sDvA/видео.html
Dude this is beyond helpful really helps to break down how to draw the entire body. Thanks man really good keep at it 👍🏻
When they do it, its "a tutorial" but when I do it, its "inappropriate"
when kim jung gi does it he's a "master" and a "genius of his craft", but when i do it i am "lonely" and "a creep". this is fallacy >:(

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.
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!

ruclips.net/video/LeqeZfCFeOs/видео.html
this is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen on this topic! It was so easy for me to see the forms you were putting down in 3 dimensions and really understand how they sit in space. I will certainly try to replicate that next time I'm studying anatomy to some extent!

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.
Awesome! I was so inspired when I saw your art firsthand in the Philippines before! Here I am now studying to be an animator!

Love the idea of modeling after the action figure with joint sockets
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.
ART DRAW messiii ruclips.net/video/0oYubp7sDvA/видео.html
@@hoadinhcong3341 You're a good artist. Can you draw the head from different angles?
He wasn’t illustrating height proportionate to each other, he was showing how the relative human proportions are the same.
@@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.
Just found your tutorials,exactly what I want,you leave me in no doubt,Thank You😂❤😂

So Mr., David Finch.
You are thee amazing artist in your own right, yes, no??
Number ONE 1): YOU are making amazing art in thee contemporary form.

And last but not thee least . . .

Ya, ya, dis is goot. very very moocho grande goot
Carry on Mr., Doctor of artology, Finch, carry on!!
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!
Awesome video! That’s a great idea having the lines run down the torso to keep track of things! ✍️
