i love how you say "not guaranteed" very briefly 😂😂

[@RojinDrawsStuff]

Me a 16 year old wondering why I'm not as good as at drawing as a dude who's entire art career is longer than my entire life....

[@user-ms5oz7wf4j]

Same bro

[@BLACK_FORTYFIVE]

Exactly man don’t be discouraged about this stuff. Not everyone can even do the things this guy does so why should you be able to yet? Just practice take your time doing it and have fun. Also try new things and ways of drawing man it’s not always drawing in general but it’s art. It’s how you perceive an image and put it on a canvas or paper digitally or not. Nobody knows their limits unless they don’t try to get out of their comfort zone and break your limits

[@Inomi-support]

Unite!

[@limi1071]

The human body you draw is simply stunning, perhaps you could make it into a systematic course.

[@Lefthandlegion]

Wow method 2 is gold! The line up of the ellipses lets me see the flow of the figure naturally. Thanks Marc I can now draw a mannequin after months of trying and reading books lol. You don’t know how much this video has helped me. You the real MVP. 🙌

[@tylorianfan8873]

True! I've also found that it does a pretty good job of presenting the flow of a figure, like you said, as well as making it easier to visualize any foreshortening and overlap.

[@thaaboijay7162]

I LITERALLY NEEDED THIS. Like no bs for the last month figure drawing has been the bane of my existence. I’m decent at gesture and construction but moving past that point has been stressing me out like crazy. Thank you so much Marc ‼️‼️💯💯

[@digitalbrinjen3245]

I think I needed this. I'm not a beginner and my anatomy skills aren't exactly rubbish, but they definitely could be a lot better too.

[@ypesie]

I kinda miss the chroma island series. Really liked that one (: But the recent videos have been really good! So I can’t complain

[@ScientObject40]

I thought I was the only one.

[@yorutsumetai]

These are really neat. I use a mix of both~ I use the cylinder for the ribs, then the rhombus for the female hips and the box shape for the male characters’ hips (unless they’re more on the feminine side body-wise, then I just use a narrower soft rhombus). I am seeing realtime how (like facial guidelines) using a variation of them with different characters could change the structure of the character. For example, the first style makes more angular, “strong-looking” characters and the second makes more shapely, softer-looking ones. Ect ect. It’s pretty amazing.

[@AB-jt4rs]

The cylinder method has always been my method ever since I started learning anatomy, I feel very validated now

[@capt.darion]

thank you so much, i've just started drawing but it's been a childhood dream (already a 30 year). Your tips have been so helpfull!

[@JB-jt6oq]

Oh god thanks. I'm racking my brain to understand how to draw bodies straight away

[@darth_hylian]

Typically I will start with the chest. It is easier for me to visualize and follow through with the rest of the proportions. So I recommend it to whoever struggles with making the head first

[@johnmivule-novabow8143]

Finally made it just in time for Art School. Gonna use these tips later today while working on one of my OCs.

[@wolfmcknight3043]

Hey Mark I have got to say you're second method is easier for beginners in my opinion. The boxes make everything stiff. Although the method of your that's like Steve huston is really good. Do you have a video on that.

[@mattparsons433]

I’m loving the ellipse / cylinder method, will definitely try this out next time!

[@ub-4630]

It takes a very long time to be able to draw your own body from scratch. All that dexterity training and building up your visual library.

[@seatongrey315]

Awww COOL I came up with my own version of this last year. But yours has alot more definition and focus. YOU ARE THE BEST MARC! Thank you for your- OOHHH STICKMAN!!!!!

[@snowdragon9577]

I've missed the last couple uploads but this one is gonna be the game changer for me for sure!!

[@macchiatomon]

I've been working really hard this last half year to try and learn anatomy, proportions, etc, but I was really struggling to sort of put it all together into a cohesive and clean way. I did a stick figure like foundation similar to the third method just to pose and measure it out, then followed along with the second method on top of it here, and it all just clicked together so nicely all of the sudden. I mean, it didn't come together as well as the one in the video, and I haven't tried a lot of different poses yet, but it's still a very passable looking mannequin. Really appreciate these tutorials you're always posting. Thank you!

[@williamramos3350]

The box method is the one I absorbed the most. More versatile in my opinion.

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

I like to use different structuring methods for different characters and poses, like a big strong guy? Boxes. A more slim parkour runner? Circles. A complex pose? I'll probably try to work more off of a form line rather than a rigid mannequin to start off, then add structure things to help with proper proportions

[@classicmode6809]

Wow ill probably use this in the future

[@iced_coffee_21]

Ah! Oh no, I'm late for youtube art school!! 🏃 Always grateful for your content, Marc 🙏

[@countvampy]

this was one of the most helpful anatomy/structuring vids yet thank u so much! i’ve been stuck doing method 3 and i find 2 will be a lot easier for me since my struggle is getting my art to not look too flat

[@YTartschool]

hell yeah glad it helped!

[@CreativeSteve69]

Long time viewer marc, I truly enjoyed todays video on sharing with us three different ways on drawing the bodies for drawing practice. I am pretty decent with enviorment creation simplitic wise. I am liking the three methods ya shared with us today. I'll defently start my journey with the box method then slowly move on up to the third set. Thanks so much for sharing your tips with no fluff and bs just straihgt to the point as it should be as well. Also you've been motivating me to get back into physical drawing again slowly these past few years to.

[@flareanims9827]

Ahh a sip of Marc brunet’s class is always the best. I live to see the “Marc touch” on all his artworks keep it up Marc! ❤

[@_Minsii]

So long ago, i never knew how to draw bodies until i stumbled upon this channel and finally understood everything to now! You have been so helpful!

[@cmdrhatchy9611]

I do the stickman to get the proper line of action, then measure head height, then start blocking in to get angles right and then I start on fleshing out the character. I go with cylinders because when you dress the character, it's easier to wrap the clothes around the body parts.

[@mundozeo]

Good video as usual Marc! I usually go for a combination of 1 and 2, depending on what I'm working on, seem to be the most standard methods in general. I really like the effort put into the videos to make them not only educational, but also entretaining. I can only imagine how long it takes to plan, write, edit and so on. Always appreciate the constintently good content.

[@antsu9858]

The artstyle looks amazing!

[@scott_idun]

raise your hand if your body's built that well

[@aizukinoshita.123]

I think for me ellipse one worked the best... as you said for different pose study stick figure helped me to understand the depth... now i use ellipse and foreshortening for the poses which i was skeptical about... This really helped me out🤠🤠🤠

[@rustumlaattoe]

I arrived at the stick figure method on my own. I just use a line for the shoulders and the hips, not triangles like you do here, but otherwise its basically the same. Its a great way to establish a pose without wasting time. If your stick figure doesn't look right you've only wasted a few lines. If you spend a while constructing boxes trying to get the pose and it isn't working you're more likely to keep trying to save it, when really you should just start again.

[@Iniqui-tous]

Just, marc is like a god, and just generously shares his craft unlike others

[@Nymi4793]

Oml thank you so much for this i could cry. I was following along for the first technique and tried a different position and found it way easier to imagine more positions for the body dynamically and it is the best anatomy drawing i had ever done, I had been struggling with this for so long as well as picking an art style since i have a lot of favorites. 😭😭💚💚

[@vialacteadsg]

Marc please make more content about clip studio paint🙏🏻

[@CyberValeth]

I like the methods you listed and have in the few times I have recently drawn anything. Trying to work out more the oval/egg like shape for the head, bigger for the ribs with the marker for where they come up to the center, the bowl for the hips and then the limbs. proportions are pretty good, after I drilled those into myself. I just need to take it to the next steps of fleshing out, and value rendering.

[@agfsdgjsdj]

alternative name for the cylinder / ellipse method: Egg method

You got me in the thumbnail and yes I will learn how to draw now

Art daddy finally uploaded! Though i kinda miss the old cold opens

[@3up3rn0va]

I have no trouble drawing figures. I am a bit too obsessed with drawing muscles. What I do have trouble is with foreshortening. I have no clue how those manga artists do it. And hands… we don’t talk about the hands 😂

[@CarlMakesVideos]

We ought to talk about the hands more! This video seems pretty helpful to me on the topic, maybe you'll find it useful as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXPak2Wqg7ilpMk it's like breaking it down into comprehensible parts, but not so many discrete parts that you lose sight of what a hand even looks like.

[@highcaliber350]

​@@3up3rn0va i just did a sketch today where the hands weren't visible in the reference material, so i took pictures of my two hands in the angle i wanted. super helpful compared to scouring hundreds of internet images only to find an imperfect solution.

You could use the coil method, it’s really easy, and how to find it, just search ‘coil method Sycra’ and you’ll find it, it helped me REALLY well when it comes to foreshortening

[@Lucas-zq7ii]

O método que eu uso consiste na mistura dos dois primeiros métodos que você mostrou, eu mesclo quadrados com elipses, formando retângulos com pontas orgânicas, isso me ajuda a deixar o desenho orgânico e ao mesmo tempo ajuda a identificar a tridimensionalidade total do desenho😅😮

[@rakedos9057]

In my "experience" method 1 and 2 (and variant of them) are the best, because while the method 3 is simple, it might give some bad habits (and for fore shorting as mentioned). So if you use it, be sure to move on to the others methods.

[@Music_Lover31343]

Your styles didn’t fit mine, so ı decided to mix the three of them, now ı can draw better, but it needs really practicing, ı’ll keep drawing and hoping to become a mangaka one day : )

[@imagominus]

Man, 3 good ways to draw human bodies? This will definitely help with future drawings! (long text warning) There is one thing i've been thinking about when it comes to drawing from imagination.... two things actually. Not only is our imagination actually far worse than we think it is because we actually imagine parts of the whole at a time instead of the whole picture (sth like that), but also that our imagination tends to be absurdly fleeting, unless you manage to ground it in notes and sketches, and i'm speaking from experience. I have been considering trying a *_made-up_* method of drawing (or sketching?) from imagination, which basically goes as follows: - ground your idea by taking notes and sketching the most important parts of it, because you will forget a lot. The only exception is artwork of existing things, where you can use references along with it. - plan your art by sketching the practical bits of your imagined idea, like the positions of objects, rotations, directions, light sources and colors. That will be the basis of your artwork. The reason why i add the colors to this step is because it will set the "vibe" of the drawing (e.g. bright and colorful may be cartoony, while dim and desaturated could be dark fantasy-esque). Keep every object's layers in its own folder, so you won't mix them up. - procedurally add details to the objects step by step. As an example, for characters, you'll want to start with their proportions, poses and such, and proceed to the separate limbs, facial features etc. You'll want to work your way from the biggest details to the smallest ones. Btw, that's how i imagine i'd do shading if i tried. It may sound tedious, and it probably is, but not only could you get plenty of practice from all that, but you would also get a better sense for details and proportions and such things.... i think. I haven't tried it yet, and i'm not a great artist, but i wanted to share this idea anyways. What do you think?

[@harrietjameson]

the reason your imagination sucks so bad is because usually your mind simplifies everything before storing it it helps you see and recognize faster, and also helps you remember more stuff but details and nuances get lost, often you even remember things innacurrately because of it
