@@moderndayjames haha true, i also like that you use trigger stuff as examples, yoshinari is one of my favs when it comes to gesture and implementing energetic and well designed shapes
This video came at the perfect time for me. Just realized I needed to simplify my sketches and avoid trying to draw all the outlines/full figure from the start. But I had no idea how to do that. Simply combining the skeleton and basic forms is such an obvious solution. But I was trying to do both separately on individual layers. This will save both time and frustration.
Oh my god this video is a lifesaver! Ive been struggling with drawing the figure for so long, i did not know what method was best for me, and i still do. but, this video helps a lot. Thank you so much man.
Thank you for everything. You have a very nice way of explaining sometimes complex concepts. We really feel the work you put into these videos. And a little hello from France :)
Got a question for you James - I know this is "for animation" but capturing gesture and personality seems important for any sort of character drawing, including things like illustration. Is there a point where you start to hit diminishing returns if you want to improve your character drawing but don't want to be an animator? For example, learning about traditional painting might improve your digital brush work and colour theory but after a point you should stop following that thread if you don't actually want to be a traditional painter.
Where do you go about finding your references? I don’t know if you’ve made a video on that but I try to use Pinterest and get distracted easy with all the other kinds of photos
So sorry to ask you this, you've probably answered it a million times, but I went through all your animation videos and some of the comments even, and I couldn't find out what software you use for animation...

All this applies to any form of character drawing. I don't think you'll hit a point of diminishing returns on improving your character's gesture!
Fantastic!
My animation class sketchbook thanks you
thanks bae, couldn't have done it with out you.
The muscle boy returns!
God bless, thank you for this!
Also prayer here when wanted!
god bless u james, keep doing what cha do!!
Ta chido 😃👍
Sooo good wow
Perfect timing you have no idea
Can this method be used to stylize the sketch and/or figures and/or the anatomy, or do you have video for stylization?
it can be used to stylize, Ill make a video about that as well
YESSSSS
Nice!
If Im wanting to go into concept art, would your course be good for that as well?
Nice
Do you think this course would be useful for people who want to improve their figure drawing for illustration?
100% it is. It's all about simplifying your mannequins, and gesture
I remember u had an awesome video about construction of skull, but can't find it anymore. Did u delete it?🥺
Where do you go about finding your references? I don’t know if you’ve made a video on that but I try to use Pinterest and get distracted easy with all the other kinds of photos
I just used pinterest for the fashion photo reference, but when I'm animating I try to go in with as little reference as possible
Third, also great vid james. really helpful.
I'd don't if your gonna respond but what video should I start on for a beginner?
So sorry to ask you this, you've probably answered it a million times, but I went through all your animation videos and some of the comments even, and I couldn't find out what software you use for animation...
Damn, you’re really good, and damn, I’m broke
how do you rate the Mike Mattesi's Force method sir? Can you someday do a video on it?
I've never read it but Mike Mattesi is a beast so I'd imagine it's great. Unfortunately I wont be doing a video on it though
What software is this?
where do i get the free content???
you're watching it?
Woo-hoo, first like!!!!! And comment!!!
