Started drawing two years ago and I still watch your gesture videos, probably the most invaluable resource I have. You're literally the one I look up to the most. Thank you!
Dear Micheal , I'm still reading your book since i bought it many years ago and find new aspects and understand your point of view in gesture drawing. Not to mention that your book and your method in this regard helped me a lot and it improved my ability and confidence to draw much better figures whether it's from the real life or from imagination. Well done master.
I started to watch you a week ago with your ''Gesture Lecture'' video and it opened my eyes and now i feel like im starting to improve and understand the things more
Thank you for this very informative video. I have your figure drawing book. As you say in the book, drawing the figure begins with the gesture. I have been having some difficulty with the gesture, and this video has provided multiple answers for questions that I have had with the gesture. Well done!
Your tutorial has been incredibly helpful in improving my skills as an artist, and I have already seen a significant improvement in my work. Your clear and concise instructions have made the learning process easy and enjoyable. you are the best anatomy teacher :)♥
Hi Mr. Michael Hampton i'm learning a lot from you i watch your videos and learn from your books thank you for your uploaded new video, i'm looking forward for your new content soon
Mr. Hampton, out of curiosity is there a chance you upload a video of your process on traditional? I've seen some of your sketches on prismacolor and I'd like to see more on how you'll approach a drawing if instead of using layers you're trying to draw lighter at first, using an eraser to erase the guidelines once the structure is defined or how's the refining in traditional. Also some tips on holding the pencil depending the direction of the stroke you're trying to do, is there a difference on the way to hold a stylus with the way you'll hold a prismacolor?
Something that i see from your multiple examples in gesture is that you generally don't draw frontal poses, is there a reason to it? do you consider them not interesting or hard to convey movement or asymmetry? Do you recommend doing gestures from frontal poses?
Do you have any shorthands for double checking if a boxy volume/plane orientation is "correct" in perspective? I've found constructing boxes via ellipses to be applicable but sometimes that process detracts from the original statement of the gesture. Thanks again for all the fantastic content!
Hello Mr Hampton! Your videos are amazing, these seems part from a bigger course, is that available? Or it’s just extracts/examples from your book? Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, is really helpful! 🎉
@@stevenmichaelhampton Would you say your biggest inspiration on the way you approach it was Vilppu, Huston, or someone else entirely?. I see so many influences on your book and classes, like Bridgman Loomis Hogarth and Goldfinger, and not in a bad way, more like it's incredible to see someone being so fluent with the teachings of so many great masters of the craft, I'm not even close to being able to apply most of them, my personal safezone has always been Loomis mannequins of simple building blocks, but the more anatomy I learn the more I take a liking to studying Bridgman sketches.
imagine the bible performed as a live-reading by jesus. this video is what it's kindda like for me, having copied The Book many times, and Hevangelized buncha my friends to Hamptonianity over the years.
Check out my course on Proko! proko.com/course/introduction-to-figure-construction/?af=543975

Good job, master hampton.

he doesn't do frontal poses because they're require straight lines, hence less dynamic
Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.

Wonderful lesson. I also enjoy learning from your book

Did Hampton came up with gesture drawing?
Haha. No. Not even close.
@@stevenmichaelhampton Would you say your biggest inspiration on the way you approach it was Vilppu, Huston, or someone else entirely?.

@@aoisekainouncensored4448 Thank you! I would definitely say Glen Vilppu and John Watkiss!
Thank you, good sir!
when you foreshortened the left leg it was like magic
Can your methods be used to draw comic books?
I don't draw comics, but I can't see how they would hurt.
@@stevenmichaelhampton Thank you.
Why there's no sound on your latest video?
GOOD
