    recently I started drawing the torso first instead of the head and I could immediately see the improvement, I always had a problem with proportions so their heads looked way too big compared to the rest of the body

      @@knowjack404 I have also found that it helps my poses feel less stiff, when I start with the torso I already have a pose in mind and I just need to make the head follow the motion while when I start with the head I usually don't know how to follow up

      I mean there are things to help you with that most people start with the head and put everything based on the head
      I think it's a general knowledge due to fact this was the first thing my sis taught me but
      if your head is 2 cm go 2 cm lower and that is the lower part of the waist 2cm lower belly button 2cm lower the place 2 legs connect 2 cm lower end of the knee 2 cm lower wrist 1 cm lower en of the foot
      İt's like that it kinda makes things easier to put the person in the weird perspectives and it makes it a lot easier to draw an irl model you can use your pen to get the measure of the head these proportions have changes with the that person's height the proportions I gave is avarage person's height (165~180 ish)

    when i first started seriously drawing, i used to be extremely rigid in how i drew my anatomy and would often make rules for myself on how to draw specific body parts, such as torsos or arms. like, what, four years later, i'm mostly out of that mindset and i've been seeing massive improvement of my art, and i recommend younger/less experienced artists do the same :)

    For drawing feet you can continue using triangular shapes like you already displayed. It's the same idea with hands. It's all in the shapes. As well as repetition. But you are clearly on the right track so my advice may or may not be helpful?? idk lol! But you got this! 💪Gestures helped me so much in my own drawings too. They truly are a game changer.

    Yknow, seeking reference on social media is difficult bc everyone takes a different approach, for example someone's choice of basic shapes always confuses me; "Should I use this or that?"
    Then comes applying anatomy to gesture drawings and applying anatomy on a figure built with basic shapes and alllll of that. You're going into this so well please keep it up man. My sub is yours

    Gesture drawing, as important as it is, is THE most difficult thing for me (I hyper fixate and miss the point of the exercise, also have a death grip on my pen). I can see how it can train your eye to catch the important shapes and to learn to improvise, which is both difficult and helpful. 😅Good tips, and your studies look really good. I have subscribbled.

    a method that they taught me at fashion school is to make the head and then repeat it 7/8 or even 9 times so if your head is 3 centimeters long make 3 centimeters 9 times and divide everything into sectors and then in the first sector there will be the shoulders and then in the third there will be the hips and then in the middle of the remaining sectors there will be the knees then in the last sector the feet.
    this is a method that the ancient Greeks also used to proportion their bodies

      @AnimeCharlie  5 місяців тому +1

      Hahaha literally the next video I'm working on now.
      But to give you the sneak peak. My opinion is...
      Either is great to start with. My preference is gesture BUT..... Understanding how to use simple shapes will improve your gesture. And understanding how to use gesture will improve how to position those shapes. So to make a long answer even longer!! Hahah
      It depends on what you struggle with...
      Shapes will help with proportions and understanding how the human body should look. While gesture will make your drawings feel/look less stiff. So if your drawings are stiff focus on gesture. If your proportions are off focus on structure. Hope that helps, but look out for the next video (hopefully on Sunday).🙂

      😊No not yet! Planning on putting up an instagram in the next few days to store all of my artwork. So definitely be on the look out.

      I use both a Wacom cintiq + iPad. Honestly I think the iPad is absolutely better for a beginner. It was what I first got after my Wacom pen tablet.
