Thank you for your reply Pat, I'm glad you liked it

Thank you for your comment @purplewarriors3333 it means a lot

Wow, the artist you’ve chosen are just a treat. Tonal values really bring the drawing to life by adding mystery and contrasts. I also noticed these artist were not afraid of black. Thank you for our new assignment and sharing your love of drawing, Lindsay

Thank you foe your nice comment @Dhika it means a lot

Thank you for your reply, Good on you just keep trying you will get there and you will succeed. Try try again!

Thank you for your nice comment. It's very encouraging

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your reply. As an art teacher let me just say that there is no nicer feeling than to have an influence on a student's improvement in their art. That's how I know I'm getting it right. My dream is that when my channel grows a bit more That we can have a community where we can share our work and help each other. When you are ready you can show me some of your work. (several examples would be good) Don't be nervous, it's not a competition.

Hi Lindsay, I just received an email from Lindsay Weirich. I wanted to confirm is that you? Please let me know as I'd love to know how you are progressing in your art.

Thank you for your helpful comment Lindsay. I'll be making more of this kind of lesson where we look at the various reference points and landmarks on the figure. Keep up your practice, persistence and patience!

Thank you lilybay. It means a lot

Thanks for that it means a lot

Thank you Lindsay. I thought I'd start to include some elements of "my story" I was very lucky that day I saw the painting when I was 12. It gave me direction, But some people don't find their purpose. I hope I can Inspire them that "it's never too late to find and follow your dream". WE've been married for 45 years and I am grateful every day. Thank you.

Thank you for your comment Lindsay. The beauty of drawing stick figures it's almost like scribbling. It keeps you loose. It's a bit like when you are learning to drive you're all over the place and stiff. But later driving is easy. That's how your drawing will become, free and loose.

Many thanks for your comment

Thanks for your comment @benzene_sandwhich

Thank you for your comment Lindsay. I'll keep working to make video lessons which I hope are helpful and valuable.

Hi there Lindsay. Please accept my apology the Intro video you commented on was the wrong video. I uploaded it by mistake. I'm sorry for that. I'm still trying to get used to this UA-cam thing (I'm a bit analog!) The proper video is now up if you want to check it out.

Thank you Ganapathym ( I hope I got that right) for your comment. I will make further video lessons on how to draw the head at any angle. At the moment I'm working on drawing the same figure from different viewpoints

@@michaelcoxontokyo Very helpful for me for 3D modeling. Thank you for giving heed to my plead.

Thanks for your warm and encouraging comment. I'll try my best

Hi there @lilybay, I'm not sure if you saw my "Channel Intro" video the other day. It was the wrong video, I uploaded it by mistake . Deleted it as soon as I saw my error. The Correct video is now uploaded. Thanks

Thank you for your helpful comment. I will continue to make video lessons about figure drawing. At the moment I am in the process of making a fifteen part series "Back to Basics: Drawing for Beginners" this will include lessons on anatomy, figures and faces, and hands and feet, as well as all basic drawing topics including perspective and landscape. I was a High school and technical college art teacher before I came to live in Japan. I'll do my best to help you.

Hi lilybay 1, Just letting you know I haven't forgotten you. I will try my best to get those lessons about figure drawing and landscape up as soon as I can. In the meantime keep drawing!

Thank you for your comment. I'm publishing Lesson 2 of this "Back to Basics" tomorrowIn lessons 11, 12, and 13 I'll be covering Human anatomy including figure, head including features, hands and feet, and drapery (clothing). Because you've made a request I'll do my best to make a supplementary lesson on the head (front and profile). I'll try for the weekend. In the mean time keep drawing. Practice makes perfect!

@@michaelcoxontokyo thank you for the reply

@@michaelcoxontokyo Oh Nice Thank you for considering my request

Sorry That's "Lesson 1"

Hi ganapathym, Sorry I haven't completed the video yet, I'll do my best to post it by the weekend

Thank you for your comment. I'm so happy that you were able to identify with the girl. Did you feel that there is a sense of hesitation in her expression. Wow! that shows me that you thought about her , That you projected yourself into the story. Your comments are so helpful and give me the energy to keep doing this. I'm going to do a series on back to basics drawing for complete beginners. Really fundamental subject matter but I'll be interested in your opinion and any advice you might have.

Thank you for your warm comment Lindsay. Todays lesson is an introduction to plane breaks. I'll make more in depth lessons soon. Regarding Andrew Loomis. One of his books "Successful Drawing" 1951 Titan Books is very good. It covers The Fundamentals, Perspective (maybe a bit lengthy but thorough), and light. It might be a good book to start with. happy reading!

Thank you for your comment Lindsay. Yes, I will be making a video about the planes of the face thank you for requesting. As I said in the video every subject is a challenge for the artist. In this case, how to get the mass, the form, and the pattern of the model's beautiful hair. I started to get it when I went into right brain mode. It's hard to explain but you kind of forget about the anxieties (intimidation) and just "fall in". I would have loved to have spent a couple of hours on this but the video would have been way too long. Cheers, and just keep drawing!

Thank you for your encouraging comment Lindsay, It's my absolute pleasure to help art students like you to improve in their work. Please feel free to post some of your work on my Facebook or Instagram accounts if you like earlier work and more recent. I'd love to see how you are progressing. Bye for now.

Thanks for your comment Lindsay. It was hard at first coming up with a cone as part of the human body then suddenly it hit me. Why not the nose? I think the secret to drawing the nose front on is to make the lighting come from the side. Also, don't be too preoccupied with nostrils just suggest them.

Thank you for your comment Gene. it's encouraging.

Avec plaisir

Mr. Coxon you made drawing these figures look so easy but I’ve taken your advice to heart, practice, practice, practice. I now have 32 of your tutorials recorded in my jumbo drawing pad. One thing you said today that will be helpful for me was to try and put yourself in the same pose to see if it works properly. Thank you once again, Lindsay

@@thelavenderlatch Thank you Lindsay for your comment. Wow! 32 of my tutorials! You're such a dedicated art student. Keep it up. With students like you I'm inspired to keep improving my video lessons.

Thank you for your very encouraging comment.

Wow! your channel is amazing.

@@michaelcoxontokyo Appreciate it alot !

Thank you for your comment Lindsay. The whole point about "basic Shapes" is that what ever we look at in our environment can truly be simplified, The problem with your lopsided bird can sometimes be solved by putting a square around it (like a cardboard view finder) over the image, raise it up and down slowly, it might help you to see the image in a new way. Happy drawing.

Thank you Lindsay for your, as always, informative and helpful comment. Your comments, and others, are helping me to design my channel. Sometimes us art teachers need to be reminded about what the student needs. For example, your reference to light and dark accent is very helpful.

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your excellent comment. It's very helpful to me. The human figure is so subtle and complex that we have to find ways to simplify it. Using letters of the alphabet and many other ways of simplifying the form and shape of not just the figure but all subject matter (a tree, a horse etc.) is a way to "get our heads around" the subject. That's what I'm getting at with my Basic Shapes series. Bye for now. Keep working!

Thank you for your comment Felix. It's great to hear what people want advice about. I'll make more videos on getting the proportions right. There are many techniques on this topic.

Hi Fabienne, Thank you for your comment. I'm very happy to hear that my lesson is helping you. The magic ingredient to become an artist is really quite simple "Love" and "Dedication". Draw every day!

Thank you, I hope you got something from it. This is part of series I'making about "Basic Shapes and Form.

Thank you for the very helpful comment Lindsay. Mastering perspective is easy Time and Practice. Ernest R. Norling Perspective made easy (Dover) is an excellent book for starters.Bye for now

Thank you Lindsay for your comment. I'm working very hard to get this channel fully operational for you guys. I'll make a lesson soon about those four basic shapes I mentioned the other day. I like to plan carefully in order to give you a comprehensive lesson

Hi Lindsay, Eventually the grid and all the other techniques of drawing and painting will become second nature and instinctive. You will be able to look at any subject and confidently be able to draw it. Regarding "difficult" subjects just simplify them There are four basic shapes I'll make a lesson about that soon. Happy drawing and practice every day., Michael

Thank you Dani. Great to read your comment. Saludos!

Hi Lindsay, I'm glad it was helpful to you. I will post more videos on drawing faces (Lots more!) Faces from every angle, adult, teens and children, male and female. The position of the eyes is very important for determining age. I'll make a video about that soon. This video was about a basic face. I am always fascinated by the fact that faces are all quite similar and yet we are all different. Likeness comes from the overall shape not the particulars of the eyes mouth etc. That's why you can instantly see your friend at night way in the distance, Nature is amazing. A new born giraffe or zebra can instantly recognize it's mother's particular pattern. Bye for now, Michael

Thank you for answering my comment, I am very excited to hear your plans for future tutorials. All the best, Lindsay

@@thelavenderlatch Thank you Lindsay. I'm posting every Friday (Japan time) and will try to post on another day as well. Soon I will change the playlists according to my curriculum plan. Keep up your good work. Bye for now. Michael

Thanks for your comment much appreciated. There is a color version on my channel. How to Color Wild Pigs.
