These videos are literally the most amazing ones i've found for trying to learn to draw figures. So clear and detailed and your voice is so calming and easy to listen to, thank you so much!!
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 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!
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.
Thank you so much for these excellent explanations on figure drawing. I am looking forward to watching all that you have available. You are a wonderful teacher.
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.
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.
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.
I only read the first two comments at the top. Liked them both and 100% agree. Thank you thank you thank you I think I’ve found the perfect teacher for me. You! I don’t have a lot of time, but I want to include you in my daily goals. Thankful and grateful, Susan
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!
How I wish to thank you from Taiwan. I am limited in words of how wonderful you are as a Teacher for anyone to learn all about figure drawing and all forms of art. W🔆ith warm regards and gratitude.
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.
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
Ive started drawing again, after a long break, and decided to follow along your series. Im astounded at whats in front of me right now. Shocked that I drew this!! All that to say, Thank you very much for making these lessons!!
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.
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've been learning so much by following your youtube lessons, things that I have never learnt in 5 years at my art school. Thank you so so so so much !
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
i've been scouring youtube for some good information on figure drawing, and there is a lot out there, but your series is among the most useful i've found so far, i've realy learned a lot about anatomy in a very short time because of this, ofcourse i still have a long way to go, and a lot of hours to put into practise, but youve set me on the right path, thank you for that
I really appreciate how easy to understand the videos are. I wish I could see the reference photo as you go along so we know what to look for on real models.
i have to say i just love to way you explain the flow of the human body. its wonderful... like a fine cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. just like the one I have in my hand.
Thankyou. I was just sketching some women their backs to be specific in order to draw on a larger canvas and paint them. I searched and came upon this video. It's so informative and how you explain the basics. It's awesome. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.❤❤❤❤❤
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.
The was you explain things is just amazing. I can’t explain but 4 of your videos have helped me learn more than years of studying. Not to mention how good I feel about my ability to draw now. Thank you!
Just from your explanation I can tell that you have an immense wealth of knowledge and experience to share. Thank you for sharing, its a great pleasure listening and watching you work.
Thank you, just brilliant! Easy to follow, simplified in a way which gives me the oportunety to follow and repeat on my own! I’m much looking forward to follow your next lesson!
He is a rare master of drawing. Something dificulta to find. His LINE It is a mix of contemporary and classical at the same way. It swichs momentaniusly.
Thankyou for taking the time to make these videos. I also LOVE that you film your face as well as what you are drawing. It really helps me to focus/pay attention. which is something I really struggle with and why I never bothered going to art school myself 😂.
Dear Teacher, thank you so much for helping with this, i am art student who struggle really hard with getting things right those videos are life saving, love the way you explain complex ideas to simple forms thanks you
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos,So clear and detailed and your voice is so calming and easy to listen to, thank you so much!! really enjoying learning about your process! love u!
Thanks so much Richard you are the professor. I have a Leonardo da Vinci bio and have enjoyed his dialogue on his techniques , he was quite meticulous in thought. To read how he processed the images in his head , truly mind boggling at first. You are so good at defining your techniques . I believe artists are philosophers first . 🖖
Thank you SO much!!!! I have been struggling how to get started with anatomy and you make it easy to understand and to apply. I love your videos and have donated to you via PayPal. I hope a lot of people do that. Amazing work Richard!!!! Thanks.
Thank you for talking me through this! I can't believe the outcome i've got on my paper, just from following along. This is a very rare time I've actually felt encouraged by the outcome of a drawing and it makes me want to pursue it more.
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise in such a digestible way. I learned a lot and had fun following along. Much appreciated 🙏
Such wonderful, clearly explained and easy to follow lessons. No nonsense (like many UA-cam videos), just awesome teaching. I’ve learnt so much in just the first 2 lessons. Thankyou

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.
