I didn't know how to draw them so I created the manliest female character ever XD
Classic :D
For me it’s the opposite as when I started in my younger years I started with drawing females and then branch off to draw males. My males at first get mistaken for females because it is essentially that but modified
Same
would u say she's rock solid
@@JOE-lq1vs Yeah. It's a badass wrestler now ;)
I was drawing a female character right now and I was actually struggling making the female torso realistic. Perfect timing! Thank you David!!
Same, coincidences
Alexavier Graulau we also know each other. Extra coincidence.
It's been a challenge for me for years. And there's always a better way, so I keep experimenting!
Ummm
For me male body come off easier for than female. But female body or faces is way difficult for me besides drawing buildings and etc.
My roommate: why you want to draw female torsos?
Me: my goals are beyond your understanding.
No god NOooo
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hen-
😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
ey, flash ref
I’ve been struggling with torsos my entire life
And now finally I found a tutorial with the style I want
Thank you man

Your work is amazing, David. I've learned more legit drawing skills from your youtube channel than I have from a decade of art school.

When they do it, its "a tutorial" but when I do it, its "inappropriate"
when kim jung gi does it he's a "master" and a "genius of his craft", but when i do it i am "lonely" and "a creep". this is fallacy >:(

Single handed my the most helpful body tutorial I’ve ever seen so far. Clean, with some extra steps for muscle groups, but not overly complicated. This is fantastic, bless ✨

I know right
This is wonderful. Love that you are a lefty, makes seeing how you draw the lines easier to follow since I'm one as well.
Idk why, but I read the title as "how to David Finch the torso" lol.
I'd probably look a bit strange with that torso...
I do that all the time 🤪
That's illegal in 42 states and possibly Puerto Rico.
@@DavidFinchartist Yeah, you mean you're not that tall?

Sorry with the danganronpa jokes i just had to
I always struggled drawing bodies, espescially Women ones and I decided to search a video that would help me and you helped me so muuuuuch, I'm redrawing something I made 5 days ago and damn it looks so much better! ty man I rlly appreciate the help
I have to say you gave few good tips. Like having few points where a lines go no matter what pose or angle.
as i draw with you i realized the mistakes that i've been doing all the time and so i improved, thankyou!

i learned how to draw guys first, i was STRUGGLING trying to get the female figure down, my chests were too wide and my hips not wide enough i can't express to you how much this video has helped me, thank you so muchhh 🙏🙏

Hey Dave, Jason Pitre here. Glad to see you are still doing what you love. Say hi to Leslie for me.
I love your style David!! Your drawing tutorials are IMO the best on UA-cam. I've recently started buying up Batman the dark Knight comics because of your art. You're quickly becoming one of my all time favourite comic book artists!!!!

Okay I've been studying art books and courses since the early 80s and this is the first time I see the basic male and female figures portrayed as the same height.
ART DRAW messiii ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
@@hoadinhcong3341 You're a good artist. Can you draw the head from different angles?
He wasn’t illustrating height proportionate to each other, he was showing how the relative human proportions are the same.
@@namelessjedi2242 I have literally hundreds of books on the subject, including a complete original set of the legendary Famous Artists course from the 60s (given to me by my father; I'm third generation professional artist), all of Hogarth's books, and many more modern ones, and NONE of those have ever portrayed a basic male and basic female fgure next to each other as the same height to show "how the relative human proportions are the same". This is political correct insanity sneaking into the craft of draftsmanship too. But, nice try, I guess. (Let me venture another guess: you love the Disney Star Wars "trilogy".)
@@kentjensen4504 I understand you’re a professional artist that’s been working for decades, but this isn’t politically correct or some shit. It’s just making it simpler. Why take several gaps in reference between the male and female body when learning to draw them. Keep them the same so you understand them in relation to each other then draw the heights differing once you understand the figure. Stop making it into a culture war.
I really needed this. My major problem with drawing is mentally I refuse to use form lines to define the shape of the figure. I can outline just fine it's just the inner structure to put in the details that's holding me back. It's the missing piece I need to reach my full potential. Thanx!
It's such a vital part of figure drawing! I'm glad you're willing to give it a try.

Wow, thanks!
Thanks David! So much helpful information in this video!
I first learned from Jim Lee & started practicing beginning my figure drawings with the torso, however this video helps immensely on what to do after the "vest shape". Thank you sir!

I still have your old Gnomon DVD and I go back to it everytime I need to review basic mannequin figures. That being said I noticed that the way you mannequinize the figure changed quite a bit from back then. Its honestly really cool to watch how even pros end up changing and optimizing their skills over time. Been really enjoying the content on your channel man!

Great video, good examples and a lot of explaining, thanks but I hardly have seen women with legs that long and hips that small (a little detail) but as I said. I can't draw like you and learned quite a bit thanks for sharing.
Me: * draws a female or male *
My mum: INAPPROPRIATE!
Also me: I’m not drawing the private parts IM DRAWING THEY HEADS AND NECK AND SHOULDERS-
I'm Having much trouble in Drawing Female torsos. I draw but sometimes my female torso ended up like a deformed Guitar shaped body.
Thank you very much this is very Helpful.
Incredible breakdown David! The strapping on the chest construction is going to be incredibly helpful. I'll be trying this out for sure.

Wanted to give a shoutout for being helpful and adding the right amount of details to my own characters. You rock!
Thank you for making this video, I've recently taken up drawing and it's difficult to find a working style. I usually get lost in details as well, your "mechanical" method keeps me focused. Great job 😊

thank you for another great video!!! I have been drawing my female figure in this similar setup and it's nice to that I'm in the right direction.

Somehow at the moment, I got so much more problems drawing female bodies in comparison to male bodies. But this video helps, so thx!
Your female's are beautiful you have such a good understanding of the basic shapes and anatomy man I need to practice more.
This is so helpful I’ve been getting better at women but still just never got it “right” this explained things so much more clear than previous videos I’ve watched

Since I started watching your lessons my draw has completely changed for the better thank you for Hard work and help.
Hi David, I have been a fan of yours since I read Moon Knight back in 2007/2008. The art in that run rocks and contains many of my favorite panels. Can't believe I get to watch your channel and learn from you now, thanks for making your content. You should draw MK in one of your Sunday streams!

hello! I still really liked this vid and it was pretty helpful for me, but could we get a future video that covers thicker body types as well?
