Anatomy Drawing Drawing tips for Beginners
"Unlearn to Learn, Unify to Simplify. So poetic. Man your videos have done a number on my art recently. Thank you so much!!!
Hahahah! Thank you my friend! I'm glad you were able to find the videos useful! 👍🏾
Great video. My issue was finding a great trainer. I watched so many videos and looked up so many artists. I realized some people spend too much time talking, and by the time i finish watching a video or reading a chapter, I just don't want to draw anymore because i felt lost at the end. I recently found my trainers, and even though I'm only a couple days into drawing consistently, I actually want to get up and not only draw but learn. I loathe fundamentals, but learning from artists like Marco Bucci, Airi Pan, Michael Mattesi, Patrick J Jones and Steve Huston has been wonderful. I'm excited for the journey because I feel like i have the right guides now.
thanks for recommendations 🫶
another great teach is Patrick Jones he just did another video with Proko, he's absolutely one of my favorites for anatomy@@syerillreyes_
Bro this was so good! I’ve been practicing portraits and each time I go in and practice I have to slow myself down and really sit there and observe the reference before putting lines down. When I jump in straight to drawing, I feel like I’m sounding out every letter of a word and not know what word I’m even saying. Haha! Gotta unify to simplify. That was sick! Thank you for the wisdom! 🙏🏽
I love your line art style. I'm getting back into drawing after years of not doing it (was never any good at it). Your channel was part of what got recommended to me during my UA-cam searches. Your style is definitely stands out; and I've binged most of your channel so far
I definitely love Marc Brunet's course it definitely goes over all the fundamentals that I didn't want to do but found so helpful lol!
I've already watched 8 of your tuts from the beginning and ALREADY I'm learning a WHOLE lot from you. For someone who's been doing digital art for nearly 4 and a half years, I have to say, your teaching me more than almost ANY art teacher on UA-cam. And you're REALLY a amazing art teacher who keeps these tuts/advice simple and STRAIGHTFORWARDED. Hats off to you. 😌👍🏽
A Video on hair would be throughly appreciated. Much love. Keep up the good work.
Not only are you a great artist, you have an amazing voice and interesting narration style. Looking ahead for more videos from you!
you've got really structured points of views, and deliver it in a straight to the point and understandable way. i love how you break it down thoroughly and explain it through honestly while putting in your own experience, it makes it feel very relatable, relaxing and refreshing. there's a lot of, well.. questionable advice on art on these platforms. you're a real eye opener and you're really unique. i find it very easy to understand your advice, it makes a lot of sense and you're a really level headed person! thanks for the amazing advice, i wish you the best in this career of art and an enjoyable art journey. keep it up and happy new year!!
You are entirely too kind my friend for the comment! Thank you! I'm truly grateful that these videos have landed well. In another life I probably should have been an art teacher. Thank you Thank You Thank You 🙏🏾.
Happy New Years to you as well!
Hi! Im a young artist, looking to looking to sharpen my skills and learn as much as I can. I’ve pretty much drawn my whole life. And I knew at one point I would like to go into animation. But this past year i took this passion I had seriously and have managed to improve my art skills tremendously. The reason I want to do that this is for the same reason you do. Inspiration. All my life I’ve been so inspired by so many of my favorite movies, tv shows, and comic books, I look at those things, and I want that for myself. Your videos have been very helpful on my art journey. I just want to say thank you. I’m willing to put in the work to get to my destination. What helped you the most on your journey? What helped you the most with anatomy? I’m eager to know. :) Thanks so much!
Amazing bro!
I'm learning to enjoy the process of drawing, and training each day more!
It's like going to the gym, sometimes it sucks to just lift heavy stuff, and things like that, but after a week, after a month, you just turn the music loud and everything disappears!
Your approach about how you draw and about how you learn is incredible, i love to see smart artists like you simplifying everything so we can feel like it's possible too!
Thank you for sharing such amazing content
I love what you said, show up everyday, and "turn the music loud and everything disappears!"
That is exactly it!! I couldn't have said it better!
Show up and the habits will take care of themselves. BRILLIANT!
I honestly love the fundamentals.
Hey Charlie, this is truly one of the best video series I've ever seen. As an artist myself and also please for other aspiring artists out there. Please listen.. first of all thank you Charlie. Second, I was always so sensitive about my art and when I went to Ringling everyone knows that they tear your stuff apart sometimes literally. Many alumni can vouch for that! First we can't expect to be amazing artists without those fundamentals and we need to put the legwork in. I did the same thing that Charlie was doing. My stuff which I haven't uploaded yet IS getting better and he's right! Like everyone has their own style. Everyone. And everyone is at their own level. For one thing I am such a dick to myself to my own art and I know that! So many of us who are struggling are not beginners! We are people who already in this stage right now. And we want to make comics, books, cartoons etc. also fuck the companies . Fuck them. Work for yourself believe me! That way you won't have a dead line and depending on who it is they will NOT care about you.. they will work your ass to the bone. Commissions? I do them! But also learn background art perspective and everything and don't give up like charlie and I and all the other artists out there all have strengths and weaknesses... Let's keep going and show that world what we can do with our imagination! It's supposed to be fun it's not supposed to feel like work... Anyway yeah I rambled but I totally know the feeling! The feeling of how and where to put that body on the page! Have fun guys and love you all every aspiring artist out there! You can do it.
Youre growing fast, because your videos provide alot value. These are helpful tips
Recently, I subscribed to your channel, and man, your vids are so hypnotic. Great approach to teaching art. It's so different. It's a mix of art knowledge and skills with philosophy.
I found your channel around December and as someone who fell out of art for a while, this has really brought me inspiration. Your advise has seriously upped my drawing skills and my motivation to keep drawing. Thank you for what you do man!! :D
I recently started drawing like a month ago. Im glad i saw your videos as guide. I even downloaded this because i have a memory of a goldfish.
How is the process going?! Any breakthroughs while learning?
Just wanted to say thanks for the great content. Your videos are super inspiring and you have a great voice for this kind of thing, very soothing. I look forward to seeing more of your content and where you are in another year!
Charlie and CHAD are synonymous. I have never seen such poetic and beautiful lessons that would really explain the topic clearly to me. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I really appreciate it
Hahahahah! I need to change my name to "Anime Chad" hahahah. I'm glad you like them! 🙏🏾👍🏾
You're great 👍🏽 I just got inspired 🎉
Your a great artist imagine how good you’ll be next year even !
Imagine how great we both will be😆.
@@AnimeCharlie Best answer ever given
Very good video! Keep going it really motivated me 💪🏽
this video is really helpful. may i ask where you get your references and keywords you use to search them ? i have a hard time finding them and your references are really good.
What brush do you use majority of the time for your figure drawings? How are your lines so good and controlled? Where did you learn line confidence? What settings do you use for that particular brush if any? Does the brush make the artist or can i get the same results with practice? SO MANY QUESTIONS
Share with me how you grew your channel so fast!! lol Thats amazing. Also I love your art and videos. You had me binge watching. great work
Great and insightful advice.
"We have to see the world 🌎 using an artist eye , we have to stop seeing and we start looking ."2:40 really hit 🎯
Learn so much in matter of a few minutes. Thank you for this amazing video. Would you ever make a discord for your viewer's one day?
Definitely! Just gotta set up a few things!😉
Just a question, where can we find art “trainers” or tutors to help you with your art?
I started in December.
How much time do you put in every day do u recon? I find it hard to keep my motivation up with the fundamentals. Helps when I try and draw a “project”. Any specific artists u learned from to get from 0 to 1?Appreciate the effort you put in every video. Great voice as well. Almost 30k! Keep it up.
Is 'recon' referring to researching drawing techniques? If so (apologies if I misunderstood), I invested time in grasping the fundamentals.
Breaking down concepts in an understandable way helped me learn.
I suggest placing your fundamental practice into your warm-ups, spending 15-20 minutes on shapes, gesture, and structure. Balancing what you enjoy drawing with growth-focused exercises is key.
Steve Houston was the artist that got me from 0 - 1 , he is a charcoal/traditional artist, and he simplified concepts, and changed how I view drawing.
Thank you for joining me on this journey - we shall see where 2024 takes us and this channel!
@@AnimeCharlie I think they meant 'reckon'.
Ok gotcha.
When first starting out. I put in anywhere from 2 - 4 hours Monday - Friday... I will say the more time you can put in the quicker you will learn. So do what you can however don't burn yourself out. For me I can get a bit obsessive so I was willing to wake up early and get after it.
however once I moved past 0 -1 I don't put in as much time.
However I try to do more focused learning. So now it might be an hour a day.sometimes more sometimes less. But really focused on some aspect of drawing.
This year the focus learning will be on coloring and animation.
Hope that helps!
@@AnimeCharlie yeah I meant reckon, thanks for the replies. They were helpful :)
You're gonna make us a 0 to 1 course RIGHT!?!?!
😉 Say no more! When the homies call you gotta answer.
try draw a box
Excellent video!
Do you have a book or beyond the Videos on how you draw your style or tutorials, even Ebook sketchbooks?
Not yet, but I'll be doing some deep dives in the future + a patreon. So be on the lookout soon😊
fam i love your content and overall genuine character. You knew you were bad and own it knowing you took the challenge to become better and this isn't even your final form. Hopefully you can to grow in your following and you reach more people. #Charlians **
If I wanted to learn to draw, would it be best to begin with pen/pencil and paper or should I begin digitally?
I can probably learn best on paper, but it seems like the future of illustrations will be digital. Conversely, software like adobe illustrator/photoshop/etc, clip art studio, and many others seem overwhelming for a beginner like myself. Can someone offer some good advice to take here?
Where can I find reference photos. I want to give things like what you are doing a shot but I don’t know where to look.
Wait. The left side of the thumbnail is the after right?
Would you have any tips for getting started, even with my limited drawing skills? Any advice at all would be hugely appreciated!
Sorry for the slightly long message, but I'm so excited about this and wanted to ask my animator brother.
Yes of course!
Ok depends on goals.
If you are looking to animate I'm going to give you the mistake I made. I haven't started animating. lol.
So when I fist started, I figured it would be better for me to learn drawing first. I'm glad I did as it has definitely grown my abilities. But now I'm realizing that animating is an entirely new skill set that leans on drawing abilities but does not require it.
So oddly enough I would learn more about timing, spacing, frame rates, and all that first. Because I've seen some incredible sticking figure animations lately....
Ok now to the drawing. If I were just starting out I would find an in depth course. Proko, Marc Burnet, etc.... maybe one day I'll have one 😉. However find someone whose style you like and have them teach you. Don't try to cherry pick your lesson from multiple teachers. I promise you it will add months to your journey. If you can focus on one teacher slow walking you thru the process it's like getting direct information downloaded into your mind. I wish I had done it sooner.
Everything else I share in the video, so definitely rewatch to see how I approach learning now.
Best of luck my friend.
@AnimeCharlie thanks, I recently paid $60 for 21draw. Do you think it is worth it? I'm not sure who to follow. Oh, btw I want to be creating my own anime movie/shows Afro style.
If that makes sense.
Ok just looked at them! They have some great stuff! So much that I purchased it. I think it can and will definitely work. Only issue I could possibly see is that it is all different artist. But besides that I think it's a great resource at a great price!
Where do you find those references?
Pinterest! Definitely one of the best places to find references!!
See you in 10 years 💪🫵🤝
Why 10 years?!?
@@AnimeCharlie i picked that random number because I believe Its enough time to become a professional but i might be wrong. Not with the time period but with the overall sense of picking art as a profession. I type things before i think too
@@AnimeCharlie and i thought in 10 years, we definitely will be appreciated, glad artists
Ohhhh ok! I don't believe you've picked wrong. In 10 years who knows what the art field will look like.
However I will state that no matter how it may change and evolve with Ai Art and other things on the horizon the one things human beings have always been is creative.
So I say stick with art as a profession. It may look different by the time we've arrived however creativity will always be needed for human beings. So yes my friend, I'll see you in 10😉...
@@AnimeCharlie there’s so much wisdom and mindfulness in your words. Not a surprise you’re an youtube art coach. Thank you
STOP PLAYING MINDGAMES WITH MEE ( IM DUMB ) 😭
I refuse to believe that! If you have any question please feel free to ask! I gotcha 😆!
@@AnimeCharlie I was jk tho i really like your channel alot tho :)
Hahaha! Say no more! 😆
