  • This video is all about drawing female hips. I've been using a Loomis hip structure for a while, but I wanted to find a method that works in a more practical and direct way. I hope you find this useful!
    Be sure to check out my website for in depth tutorials and courses! davidfinchart.com
    Some of my structure breakdown is taken from MikeyMegaMega, and you can find his very informative, and entertaining channel here: / mikeymegamega

    I found this really helpful! I've been struggling a lot lately, hitting a plateau, tried a bunch of different videos but not making much progress. But I tried to quickly follow along with your examples, and actually felt like I got better with each one. By the time I did the last one, I was pretty happy with how it looked! Even gave her arms, with the left one doing a hitchhiker thumb down by her hip, right mostly tucked in front of the torso, and an outline of her head peeking over her left shoulder.
    The hardest part for me has always been visualizing a pose in my head. But I think I need to get better at basic anatomy and figure drawing before I can really focus on that. The "bowl" shape helped a lot as a starting point to build around. I've been absolutely confounded with how to construct all of those shapes around the hips. Thank you, I think I finally found an instructor that meshes well with my learning style, and the style of art I want to do.

    Perfect technique!! I always had a problem with the standard methods because you have to draw forms right through other forms and I find that hard to do. But this is brilliant!!! Getting the bottom edge of that bowl shape places everything perfectly. It's one of those lines that once you discover it you wonder how you ever got along without it, and it gets everything shifted into position properly (at last). Must watch several times and then draw along, like with Bob Ross.

    That one detail about the leg cylinder hinge really opened my mind.
    I always used the anatomically accurate method, using the femur and the pelvis as the hinge, but always got confused of why my leg was always up so high in a "legs up" pose.
    This method (where the quads, sartorius and TFL approximately join) is a very simple and excellent way of displaying the external form of the figure without having to worry too much about underlying details.
    I guess I always over-thought things and ended up being stupid in the end. XD

    This tutorial is great, and it's become my new method for drawings hips. But if I may offer one bit of criticism, it's a bit fast and makes it a bit hard to follow along. I find often that I draw something quick and the video is already a few steps ahead and I have to go back multiple times as to not get left behind. And while slowing the playback speed myself is an option, I find it butchers the audio quality to where it becomes hard to listen to.
