I was just scrolling through your streams to understand how you draw negative spaces and backgrounds, and now this video shows up,you're literally a legendary teacher
Jesus died for our salvation and he loves you so much and he wants the best for you but we have to accept his help and read his word which is the bible
3:43 is exactly what I needed to see, I always wondered why my backgrounds were "flat" going to do this trick. I'd love to see more background drawings in the future.
This was the most enjoyable and visually pleasing breakdown of an Asaro head I have ever seen without actually even using an Asaro head. Great content as always.
I've been watching and following David Finch for 7 months or so. Since then I've learned so many things from him that i can't describe and i don't have words. He is my inspiration and everything in my art world.
What a useful tutorial! I never really thought about this, and it's really important and great to learn! And another thing that these tutorials have helped me with is being more patient with my pencil drawings, which is something I never had time to practice, and these tutorials give me that practice! Thanks so much Dave!
I love your point about being able to create en edge of a face with another shape. This is basically just painting! Starting out with the big shapes and then going in and adding the details and softening transitions from dark to light.
A couple of weeks ago I was looking on You Tube for a tutorial on this topic and could not find one that helped. Now there is one for whoever looks in the future from one of the very best. Thank you for this.
I used to help Mark Pajarillo with some commission work and he taught me this concept and he mentioned you told him how to do this (along with other concepts). Really cool how you are still passing your knowledge along to everyone now.
David, I really liked how you broke the flow of negative space shading. This concept is still a struggle for me. But this video helped me start getting my head wrapped around this method!!!
Solid foundation teaching. I go for form and shape definition to define contour then add line in my work approach. Have you had a chance to sketch the horses yet? Fun practice is to observe and draw animals as the move.
Not too be a stickler, but drawing the window in just shadow, it looked off because of the same line weight was used in the process. But I DO LOVE watching, and learning new ideas snd techniques to use.
Hey David, i really enjoy ur tutorials and really inspire me! Current I wan't go be a comic illustrator but I'm having a bad time with male head, like where to put stuff and how to do somethings. Can you make a video about it? It's really hard. Loves the video :).
Very good video Mr. Finch. Could you please add to you list of future tutorials something about torso in forshortening? For example the classic Wolverine pose jumping to attack, a person running towards to the front of the page or a flying superhero. It will be nice. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for your content! If you could, I would love for you to make a video on how to draw perspective grids when the vanishing points are off the page, I always have a really hard time figuring it out. :)
How would you draw long curly hair in negative space? Or would that get too muddy? Braides I can do but not sure how to start long curly hair that is down and free flowing
David, can you do a tutorial on drawing small characters? Drawing foreground and mid ground characters feels intuitive when it comes to detail. For some reason I try to add too much detail for small scale figures (background, small panels, etc). Then they start to get muddy. If I try to be minimal they turn out looking cheap and unfinished. Seems like every line counts more the smaller the figure.
I realized I tend to do this but in a bad way, I use it as a crutch to make up for mistakes in my perspective and shape. I love the style but I really need to learn to draw my shapes the right way from the start and not just fill in everything when It doesn't work out. (I am a very new artist, so when I say shape I mean the "Rock" that you might mistake for a slime in a video game)
Thanks for the great video! Focusing on shadow shape gives a very beautiful effect, but I am a bit confused by the focus on shadows for negative space - I thought negative space was, for example, focusing on the triangles between the pieces of wood rather than the pieces of wood themselves. For example in a landscape rendering the gaps of light between leaves instead of the leaves themselves. Or the triangle or diamond shape one often sees between an arm and a figure’s torso. Is focusing on shadows a mental trick to get you to pay attention to the gaps?
Negative space is I think a broad term and has many meanings attached to it. I think negative space in essence is: What you put down/draw = positive space, what you leave out/don't touch = negative space.

That’s a master. Shows the student. Then explains their process to them.
Jesus died for our salvation and he loves you so much and he wants the best for you but we have to accept his help and read his word which is the bible
It's like everytime I'm stuck with something, you realease a 15-60 minute, comprehensive, detailed explanation that solves all of my problems haha
Very important concept, and one that John Paul Leon used a lot. thanks for the video Dave!
RIP
I’ve just realised that this is my style.. hatching to create shapes and shading to create detail. Thank you so much for this.

I liked this video before it even started because i knew it was going to be gooooood.

You're a drawing God! You're awesome!

I just read Frank Miller's The Hard Goodbye for the first time recently. His use of negative space is awesome! Thanks for this!
Mr. Miller is the king of negative space
Thank you so much for this!!!!
My favourite UA-cam channel by far!! Thanks again Dave.

This will help a lot :>
great video
That one was really cool
That's bomb as he'll, I wish I had the skill to do this.

Could you consider drawing a spell being casted?
Great video!!
Hi.. Doctor F, thanks
How would you draw long curly hair in negative space? Or would that get too muddy? Braides I can do but not sure how to start long curly hair that is down and free flowing
I know, i am a bit late to the party. But i have to say, this was really helpful :) And its so flexible in terms of usage, if you think about it :D
Do you draw with HB pencils mostly?
damn this guy is good take it from me, you could not find nothing like this easy in the 90s
This video is awesome!
What size is your Pencil lead?
🙏💞 Thanks

Plz make a video how to draw believer shadows like humans
I realized I tend to do this but in a bad way, I use it as a crutch to make up for mistakes in my perspective and shape. I love the style but I really need to learn to draw my shapes the right way from the start and not just fill in everything when It doesn't work out. (I am a very new artist, so when I say shape I mean the "Rock" that you might mistake for a slime in a video game)
Amazing and very informative but please make another one with a different subject like a human face or eyes or anything organic.
Thanks for the great video! Focusing on shadow shape gives a very beautiful effect, but I am a bit confused by the focus on shadows for negative space - I thought negative space was, for example, focusing on the triangles between the pieces of wood rather than the pieces of wood themselves.

Amazing could you do a ballpoint pen drawing face and how to use lines
He had the same pencil with zhc. Is it really that good?
Interesting
This would be really fun to do with a a skull reference.👍🏼
Did you use negative space in your silver surfer drawing
How you sharpening this pencil?
Воу, прекрасно! Спасибо!
what type of pencil are you using?
what pencil is used ?
Custom pencil I think
Can you do a vedio on drawing transforming sequences tutorioul like how beast boy transforming into animals draw in comics
actually it's more accurate to draw from negative. because the way light hits object in reality. People tend to counture everything all the time
What is this drawing device?
