    I've only watched 2 of your videos and I've already learned so much. Thank you and I can't wait to learn more.

    I love how realistic your bodies look! You explain anatomy so well, and how the body moves and the shapes. Simply amazing.

    I have been drawing and painting my whole life and I've never learned so much about figure drawing in such a short amount of time. Your videos are absolute gold. I can't believe you are providing this education for free and we are all so very grateful!

      It's all makes so much sense with his anatomy lessons combined with his excellent talent as an artist.

    I'm so happy I stumbled upon these videos! I only recently started seriously trying to learn how to draw (after almost a decade of feeling lost in my "realistic career" path, only to end up picking up a pencil again) and I was so overwhelmed with everything I have to learn. Your videos are so easy to understand, and I feel way more positive about this journey now. I can't wait to see where my art skills are by the end of this year! Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos and upload them on here for free!

    Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I have learned more about figure drawing in the first two videos than I have in months of watching Proko and books.

  • @fancyman974
    @fancyman974 2 роки тому +3

    These videos are the only ones that I am able to watch without judging. Most of the time people who are trying to teach are like "just draw it" and I am so full of it. Yet, you explain it amazingly and I am delighted to try and try again with these videos. Thank you so much.

  • @frankd4139
    @frankd4139 3 роки тому +17

    what makes this so amazing is that you actually explain in simple detail what you are doing, why and how you are doing it. Every other video ive watch of others just draw and talk over their videos but never "really" explain what is happening. Thank you very much. amazing.

    It is completely insane that we have access to this level of instruction on youtube! From having briefly looked through your homepage, I can see this channel is an amazing and fascinating art education resource. Thanks Richard!

  • @lizziedoesthings1450
    @lizziedoesthings1450 3 місяці тому +1

    it's so helpful to see someone start with the most important aspects of anatomy first, here I was thinking I'd have to look at a map of all the muscles and figure it out myself lol, so thanks!

  • @matthewalexander8752
    @matthewalexander8752 3 місяці тому +1

    Great to hear muscle /bone names and where these are attached…! You are one of the best on YTube!

  • @joshjparks
    @joshjparks 4 місяці тому +3

    Richard, these are seriously wonderful pieces of content. The way you speak as you're drawing and teach through the use of anatomical knowledge is astounding. You've quickly instilled so much wisdom that I actually feel a sense of pride in my work, I couldn't believe how much I learned in such a small amount of time. This might be my favourite series on this entire site, keep it up. Love from New Zealand.

    You make drawing so approachable. I’ve been following along with your videos and I’m shocked at how simple the process is. I’ve never drawn this realistic of a figure

  • @beagleboy4ever
    @beagleboy4ever 3 роки тому +8

    These are by far some of the best, most informative anatomy videos I've found on this site. I like that you explain what the muscles do rather than just telling me that they're there.

  • @xgracex3892
    @xgracex3892 2 місяці тому

    Your videos are just amazing and so helpful! I have learned so much of anatomy without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed and my drawings look so much structured than before, thank your for these helpful videos💖💖💖
    I would love to see in the future some arms and legs videos, they would be so helpful!

    This is my 2nd day of learning from your series. If I could only show you what I did 😁 I never tried figuring drawing seriously before because it intimidates me. But I gained the confidence to do it just by watching and learning from your videos 😊
    I hope there is a lesson 3.:)

    I was skeptical of watching these because they looked so advanced (rather than the cartoon style figure drawing thumbclips) but wow I'm so happy I clicked on your channel it definitely deserves millions of views. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

  • @johngeisler5574
    @johngeisler5574 Рік тому +2

    These lessons have been priceless, especially the narration. You unpack so much in 30 minutes, and every bit is gold. Following the landmarks you teach and focusing on where things attach has gotten me through a serious slump in my progress. I am so happy with what I learned. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

    I've been going to art school for several years and while I've learned a lot, I also realise I still didn't 't know how to represent proportion with a degree of certainty. I understand now that I have to spend a lot more hours practicing and your videos are helping me tremendously, Thanks so much.

    Such a simple way to put it! It’s clear that your level of knowledge on anatomy is very high but, still, you are able to show it in such simple words and smooth examples like the butterfly shape. I’ve never been properly trained but drawing for over forty years and still learning so much from great masters as yourself!
    Thank you so much!
