Figure Drawing Exercises!
In this video I go over the basics of drawing your character from different angles. With high camera angle and low camera angles.
I also show how these same techniques can be used for stylised characters that don't have human anatomy (right at the end).
Learning to master these skills takes a long time. And there are many ancillary skills tied up in figure drawing. Perspective, Form Drawing, and your ability to visualise the three dimensional space are key.
But it's not just a matter of learning all the basics first and then at some distant point in the future becoming amazing... the process involves back and forth. Spending time applying your skills... Drawing fun/interesting things... and then going back to the well of technical drawing to improve your foundation.
Hopefully these demonstrations and exercises can help you with the basics of drawing figures from different angles. And inspire you to brush up on your perspective foundation.
Once you get good at these basic manipulations of the perspective and camera angle... you can play more and more with the camera angle and extreme nature of the distortion.
If you want to learn about the techniques I am using based on the Loomis Method you can check out these videos:

With most types of stylised types of art - There is often a mix of structure and perspective and technical drawing.... combined with symbols and abstract features.
Once you get good at blocking in proportion and posing with the Loomis Method you can use it to suit your own style.
It's just a tool you can use to help you draw cool stuff!
Happy Drawing!

Dude how this can be FREE. Amazing content.
I just got the Loomis books to learn more closely from your teachings :) Later I'm also looking into getting into your line & color academy.
I'm learning from different sources like Proko, Drawabox, Marco Bucci, Peter Han, etc. Your style is a very nice change of pace and a reminder that all these technical lessons are just a means to get back to drawing cooler stuff. So thank you very much for all your content, I really appreciate them! 🙏
Awesome!! Thanks effo!
Just dropping some characters for the Algorithm! Praise Lord Algorous! Thanks a lot for all your videos, Tim. They're a spectacular addition to my drawing education
Exactly the lesson I needed. Your videos are amazing. You explain things I already knew or seen before in a new perspective, or things I was learning through practice without having the words for them yet. A much more practical drawing lesson than most things I've seen in years. Thank you so much for this.
Glad it was helpful!
Easily worth the same value as some masterclass on Udemy. I cannot pay but I offer my like and sub and gratitude.
This video came JUST when i need it. Thank you so much! I've been working really hard on my perspective foundation and I've reached the point where I want to learn how to put full bodies into perspective. Thank you so much again!
i know my youtube algorithm is good when it showed me your videos. this is such great lesson that i can't believe i have it for free. keep up the incredible works!
Finding it hard to believe your lessons are for free. This is so useful. :)
Bro I wanted to say I like your thumbnails.
I only discovered you like a week ago but i am so excited to binge your content, your stuff is so good.
Exactly what I needed. Stumbled across your videos while reading loomis books. And picked up everything much faster than from the books. Not saying the books were bad just your way of explaining made the process of consuming of loomis methods much easier.
Thank you 😊
Nice one Tim.
Love your teaching techniques, you make it look so simple, and easy to understand, 👍
I really love the way you explain things without rushing and without leaving key details or even minor details out. This has been very helpful on my journey of learning art as we all are. I appreciate what your doing and have a lot to catch up on! Keep it up
Thanks!! :)
I was training yesterday, and it was complicated and it took time Great job Thank you 👍♥️
Awesome video. Thanks so much for this!
Awesome, just what I was looking for 😊good lesson,I just subscribed.
great video.. thank you.
You are a top notch talent and teacher. Thank you!
Gosh thank you so much for these amazing videos! So helpful
thank you so much my drawing is improving 🎉🎉🎉
Can you do a video about drawing clothes? I always find them particularly hard to make, they always looks kind of stiff.
Can you put all of these in a playlist?
Thank you so much thhese videos have been very helpful to me
Just go to the playlist section of the channel, it's there
Yeah there is a basic playlist for the drawing lessons. But I can make one for all of these recent ones for sure too.
@@TheDrawingCodex thank you! making a playlist just for the figures lessons.
You’re an amazing teacher!
That's god sent
Amazing
Hi.. thanks Codex..
Yes
9:01 Hope I knew this when I was starting learning how to draw stuffs... And also, extensive dynamic angle shots are not necessarily more difficult than "fairly simple" shots because you can get away with more drastically exaggerated posing while simples shots usually require more precision due to its needs of clarity over dynamic flow of the shot.
That’s a great point and totally true from my experience! Dynamic poses can be extremely forgiving. I feel one of the hardest things to do is just draw standard characters sitting or standing next to each other in a scene while keeping everything accurate. There is very little wriggle room… You have to get everything just right.
so is 3d scultping somewhat the same in these techniques
When I save some money ima buy the loomis book because honestly the system is still confusing to me.
Question, is the loomis mannequin better or the boxy boi mannequin (which is made of boxes, cylinders, spheres) better?
Whatever works for you is best in my opinion. For me the Loomis one is quicker to draw because most of it are simple lines.
can you make a tutorial for values, color theory and light?
Yeah for sure! I need to do some on that subject
But this technique is just to draw "still" manequins from different angles or could we draw for action poses too? Thx
I love that little skeleton model. Where did you get that from?
It’s from anatomytools.com
Hey do you know any good book on baby language that you would recommend?👀
Do you have a perspective video? I don't see how to make these angles.
Anyone know where to get the grey cube he had
I got them on Amazon many years ago. I don't think they have this set there anymore that I could find. They are made of foam. Try searching for Foam geometric solids. Or something similar. Normally used as a teaching aid for basic shape learning etc (for younger kids I imagine).
@@TheDrawingCodex thank you!
