Ethan I am not joking when you LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE WITH THIS VIDEO. Over a DECADE I have struggled to understand poses and formulate my own, no matter how many Proko videos, gesture studies or advice I've received from friends regarding lines of action and etc, I COULD NOT understand how to make my own poses, or at least draw the ones from my head. The concepts you explained in this video blew my MIND.
After watching, I went through some Disney videos and made the shape, and to my amazement, you weren't bullshitting and this wasn't some thing that only wrinkle-brained artists could understand. I made 2-4 new poses for each shape, including twisting and bending the body in dynamic angles - Holy DOGSHIT! Suddenly seeing the body basically broken down into this stupid pentagonal shape that I could make into whatever angle I wanted made everything click. It's like each thing I learned previously was a puzzle piece in my head, but there weren't enough pieces to finish the puzzle - this video was the missing piece. I'm so glad that you're proving this content for free, for all of us. Thank the LORD for Ethan.
Wrinkled brained artists 💀
Proko doesn't know how to teach, all he says is "practice"
Like practice FUCKING WHAT.
"We don't know how to read"
Finally, someone who gets it.
There go all my English classes my college made me take. I’m a fine arts major. We draw not write or read.
Everyone in the comments skimming over the fact that Ethan quit his anim job to do UA-cam... Ethan.. that's amazing! Congratulations
Ikr I’m so exited for more art vids 💖 his vids genuinely inspire me and helped me improve so much
im excited too but didn't he start an animation team not too long ago?
Yes yes yes yes
I initially thought “ is this a joke” but at the end of the video it was more clear
He what?!- that’s so nice that he’d rather teach us babies how to do art. I’m honestly so thankful. Because of him new people will have a better start and have a higher chance of getting into the industry.
I cried this was so simple. I was so happy. No one has ever explained it so well. In all my years of living and multiple figure/ anatomy videos that little teen me would bend over backwards to try and understand. NONE OF THEM!! And I mean NONE of them clicked as well as this one.
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!! the sheer GENIUS of this video is making me SO ESCTATIC!!!!!!!!
YES I AGREE!! I should've noticed it sooner but this is VERY VERY helpful :')) It drives me to do art much better and determined
"Try imagine if you were smart"
Thank you Ethan, this has changed my life. After decades of being dumb, now I can do what the pros do by imagining what I would do if I were smart.
I was extremely skeptical of this technique when I first saw this, but now I'm a month and a half in animation school and I use this 95% of the time when I draw people.

How to do that
true
Personally, I plan to go through Ethan's video Frame by frame and **practice** the concepts in my paper sketchbook. I fully expect to learn how to do it and I will. Art isn't a spectator sport. You have to get in there and **do** it.
@@eileenjohnston6835 I'm doing that too. I practised the torso shape. I'm trying to apply it in other action poses .It's a bit tough rn but with consistent practice I'll be able to do it ig :)
@@lilyw8721 Hows it been going with that? Just found this video and the torso being the same shape for any pose is a game changer for me but like op said, he didn't really teach us how to use it. What are some things that worked for you in applying it?
he literally explains how to do it here 5:08
I've been reading and studying drawing books and tutorials for decades. I think this is the most mind-blowing drawing tip (or lesson) I've ever came across.

nobody tell him of the right triangle painter head
I know, ive been doing the bean bags alot, but i often get screwed abit, but with this, im able to read better at what im doing
And it gives a bit of action or personalty in figures
@@NameIsDoc Tell me more....?
@@gforce3999 there is a way to use a right triangle to position the head from 3/4s behind to profile to 3/4ths forward facing. Just draw a loose downward pointing right triangle with the horizontal line being 2 units to the verticals 3. now if you put any line about 1 unit long vertically into the triangle you can imagine that as a line that connects your ear to your skull and the long side of the triangle then becomes a general the "jaw line". Because the ear more or less always divides the head you can use it as a guide you to form a face. If you put the "Ear" dead center you have a head in profile, move it towards the top of the triangle you tilt the head away from you. If you put the ear line towards the "jaw line" you tilt the top of the head towards you. If you put the ear closer to the "face line" you turn the face away from you, if you move it opposite the face turns toward you.
It doesn't do all the steps for you but it does help to set everything up much like this technique
Look up "How to Draw the Head / Face / Portrait with Steve Huston" he breaks it down far better then i can without visuals
I m a sucker for Ethan's anatomy and storytelling videos
-amazing-
@@LavenBisc indeed🗿
aren't we all
same 🗿
I've learned people in the animation industry really are brutal... I appreciate ethan for being direct but funny and a good teacher
I feel like I'm not far enough into things to fully understand and utilize this but this is the most fun I've had being stupid.
I love that Ethan is starting to post more
I am so mad and I also had my brain blown clean out of my skull that this works. I had been so close on a similar base form and the answer was just. right there in front of me all this time.
Thank you, and congrats on taking work on your channel full time! Your videos have been enormously insightful and helpful and I hope that it works out.
This is literally ground breaking for me!!! I’ve been down the over complicated path before with my art journey and I’ve attempted to simplify stuff but THIS was by far the most valuable video I have EVER seen AND put into action I sincerely THANK YOU
Ethan is like the only UA-cam artist who will continuously and consistently insult the living sh*t out of his viewers...and we thank him for it.

"arms and legs are just tubes"
I...i thought you said they were triangles...
Logic doesn't apply here, i guess.
they are,,,, but that's only when you actually get to drawing them. Ethan's just putting tubes in their places bc he snot focusing on thrm
tubes are combined triangles.
Did you understant what Im trying to say?
well I did not understand what Im saying.
Thats what I want to say...!
Damn didn't knew people understood jokes but ok
@@kaizu8326 homie you didn't use /j 🤨🤨
Very grateful for ethans videos honestly. He makes a lot of things easier. I was in the slumps days ago, I haven't been drawing for months due to the number of tasks I have for school, and when I finally had the time to, it just didn't look right. I had studied anatomy before, but I had come to forget what they were. It was a dumb mistake I did. It's better to memorise a form through muscle memory first. Because formal knowledge such as anatomy only stays in the brain, it is only potential knowledge, but if unused for months you start to forget. Muscle memory on the other hand, I have found, stays. I thank this channel. Made me hopeful that I could become better than I was before :D
Although I’ve been drawing for roughly a decade now, I’ve never mastered the art of poses. This was very entertaining, useful, and informative! Thanks, man! I’ll be sure to remember these steps next time I draw something, it worked wonders!
I was wondering why there are so many spelling errors then realised artists can't actually read so I wouldn't know.
Or cant math

I would have paid so much more attention in class if my teacher said I had infant crayon brain and asked me to imagine if I could think, that's normally what I told myself. Feels better when someone else says it.
Thanks for making the understanding of anatomy super simple. Getting straight to the point. No fluff or bs...greatly appreciate it.
In hindsight a lot of my more recent drawings use this basic body shape technique and thats so cool! And the using a single body shape to make multiple poses just blew my mind, I am so excited to try that out
HAHA ETHAN YOU'RE LATE I ALREADY STARTED DRAWING WITH A BIG DECISIVE SHAPE

Ive been feeling miserable about my art lately, but your video gave me the "art shock", the inspiration (if that makes sense) to draw again and feeling happy about it.
Ethan always manages to push me off the edge and keeps reminding me how close minded my liddol artist sponge brain is. I've been painting realism and hyper realism for like 10 years now and I still have absolutely no fkn idea how to do sketches, characters or even proper poses. But you my bro? BOOM mind blown. It's so easy but yet so hard to even come up with it.

i really wish your videos existed when i was a kid because I was following all kinds of tutorals to learn how to draw anatomy and drawing in general and i never improved. I never practiced the right way because following tutorials is not the way to practice, to practice you have to study, you have to find short cuts...

Thats so cool that you worked on Voltron...also your sacrifice of being an animator to being a full time youtuber is greatly appreciated 👏🤚
Holy crap! This makes posing so much easier! My professor and highchool art teacher explained things so complicated. Thanks for the tips!!
This is literally THE most useful on drawing bodies I have ever seen in my life. I’m using this everywhere from now on
I'm taking figure classes and this honestly has cleared up soooo much that my professor was talking about! You are my favorite art teacher lol
Bro this may be one of the most important videos I've found on practicing figures and training your eye. I've had a similar concept but it was incomplete because I didn't know what I know now. Thank you thank you thank you 😊

Awesome tip 😂😂
Read the title for maximum IQ
"we're not rockets"
I like his assertive comedic energy it makes me learn and smile :3
i hope someday i can afford ethan’s course bc honestly his videos are so engaging and brilliant. i was actually flipping through my legend of korra art book and sought out ki-hyun ryu’s channel to try and study his work and animatics, so i’m super excited to hear his name here. i’ve been studying anatomy, of course, but developing a strong spatial understanding by using simple shapes like this is, indeed, the most powerful tool for artists. (like proko mentions, you cannot add secondary or tertiary details on a drawing without having the primary form down even in anatomy studies.) i am going to practice the heck out of this
I have just been brilliantly educated and insulted...
what a day
But for real thank you for this!
These shapes are for understanding shape language and are used for "outside-in" anatomy studies (including bean), different artists have different ways of simplifying anatomy, to show gesture and motion. What Ethan explains here is good for animators, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have understanding of bones and muscle groups. Sometimes we see artists simplify anatomy and we think that it's easy, cause it's just a simple shapes, right? No! You don't start your studies with final result, especially when you are a beginner. You must be aware of bones, because of the landmark points, you must be aware of origins and insertions of the muscles and how muscles change shape. Otherwise you are going to draw same characters over and over again and maybe you will even be avoiding to draw characters topless, or muscular. All I want to say is that foundation is important, that's what old masters used to do, I recommend to look up "Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters" they had same methods of simplifying shapes but they were aware of how bones and muscles work.
TOO COMPLICATED
Your understanding is beyond my comprehension.
My little infant brain can't understand this, TOO COMPLICATED AJRGHHHH
What matters is how the 3d form looks and how to light it....shape is always going to be more important unless you want to go full michelangelo
@@damianogiolitti3416 It's about forms. If your interesting shapes wont have a 3d look you will be drawing just with contours.
Dude, your humor is so great. A perfect way to keep folks interested in what can be a dry subject.
June is such a cool doggo and what you said about deciseiveness is really helping my sketches look cleaner
Last night I dreamed I was not stupid and I could draw like the pros but then I woke up and remembered I still have a tiny infant brain that won't even learn from his own dreams.
Ethan literally made drawing so much easier and funner for me. Thanks, bro. You're an baby eye-opener.
I just came back to this video because I'm having trouble still with dynamic poses bc I'm a little shit that forgets things they learn.
Anyway what I actually wanted to say though is how grateful I am for these videos. I've become pretty fast at drawing basic anatomy and it's all thanks to these videos. I'm really lucky this channel happened when it did. I hope it and its videos never disappear
This is the best time to be an artist. So much resources to boost your learning
I hope he makes more videos, his tips are GOLD
I like to call the shape (as of exactly the moment I'm writing this) the "punching bag" or cushion, it's more angular but still has a bit of fluidity, essentially a middle ground between the indecisive curving of the " B E A N " and the boring box of the rectangle/hourglass
I really am Happy i found your channel I feel like you made things more clear
Thank you for this info. I'll start my practice with those shapes.
STAN PROKOPENKO WOULD NEVER LEAD ME ASTRAY I'M LITERALLY SHAKING AND CRYING RN
Wow my baby brain just EXPLODED 🤯 thank you Ethan, this video was exactly what I needed right now; struggling with poses and how to practice them 🙏
Of all your videos, this might be your best one yet.
