I love your methods

[@brastix2051]

I’ll be drawing my first full-body drawing using this guideline. Thank you!

[@EngySoups]

I now know how to art and that makes me happy.

[@melody_songbird9818]

Helped me so much. I've been struggling a lot with proportions and not actually working on it because I thought everything would fall into place at some point. Now I have a better understanding.

[@larryglatt2548]

Your video is the first I've seen that shows the proportion & figure guidelines; Thank you ++++++

[@hinasobee]

Great Mary ,you helped me learn guidelines.It really changed my life.

[@christineschmidt1025]

So far, this is my favorite how-to on drawing human proportions-easy to understand! THANK YOU!!!

[@kaiexists2729]

THANK YOU! With your guidelines (and a little of my own touch) I was able to make ACTUALLY GOOD art! 10/10 would watch again.

[@stephenwilson7865]

Thank you, a great intro for a total newbie like me. I think you must be a Loomis fan? Great stuff, you know how to maintain the audience interest.

[@pcg1276]

Thanks Mary.A lot of these art videos don't explain the rules of drawing figures,they just take off leaving you behind Thanks for taking the time to carefully explain and describe the actual process of drawing figures with humour.

[@MrSirFluffy]

You're tutorial was PERFECT for me. I've seen so many by some big youtube artists like Jazza and Sycra, but this method fits me like a glove. It's very math based, and shape based. But not weird shapes, plus it's not so restrained by other measurements. It's a perfect balance of proportion and style play.

[@abbystanley452]

Who else wishes Mary continued this series

[@moonshine9422]

thank you mary for what you do you never stop inspiring me!!! please never stop drawing!!

[@freakazoidddd]

this helped a bunch the supportive community is really supportive but your supportive and funny!

[@angelofmusic997]

This is the most helpful video I've found so far about guidelines!! :)

[@Attysin]

Nice video! You should draw a raccoon finding a human, going through their garbage, like reverse roles. The raccoon shining a light on them and the human "deer in headlights" kind of look.

[@angelaliu7918]

Hello Mary! You should draw your first friendship! What I mean by that is like how you met your first BFF or some really memorable times you spent together. This would let your viewers get to know you a little better, and be just a really great drawing.

[@IanBeingPLAYS]

Every time i hit an artist block i watch one of your videos and get some awesome inspiration or reassurance that my skill is only growing! Thanks Mary yu da real MVP.

[@delaneycooper173]

Hey Mary I'm a thirteen year old abstract artist as I like to call myself. I draw tons of different abstract drawings and sketches and I am trying out KZbin to show everyone my talents and how to easily draw the things that I draw. I was wondering if you ever felt like this when you started your channel? Anyway I just got a pack of drawing pens and have been using them everyday. You have been such an inspiration to me I love watching your videos and showing them to my dad (who is also an artist) we both love your work. Thanks for being an inspiration to me and many others. P.s love you

[@taylor.ashleyyy]

I am a beginning artist and your HTA videos have helped me SO MUCH!!! I wanted to thank you for making them. PLEASE MAKE MORE!

[@sahramanutasna722]

Thank you for the tips! Practice practice practice!

[@GuineaPigLuna]

This was so helpful! Before watching this I had no idea of the measurements: where to place the hips, how long the legs should be, ect. I love this video and will forever use your technique! Thank you so much for sharing! Also, you’re REALLY good at drawing!

[@brendanbush2174]

Wow this really helped, I followed so many tutorials but they were too complicated and they made be draw weird crotch bowl shapes and drawing the ribcage. Your method is the most effective and easy to follow method I have found so far. Not to mention I can remember what the proportions are (unlike this other video where they are telling me to use invisible lines from the crotch, through the nipples, and that's where the shoulders are?). I love your art, keep up the great work!

[@amanoyukiteru1080]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I keep rewatching the video, putting the proportions in the right place, i studied the body, and now I'm getting everything right, I always dreamed of being and artist and I'm one step closer! LOVE IT MARY

[@TimothyRobert93]

Your Amazing! Thank you SO MUCH! I've been obsessed with trying to draw people. I did a lot of observation and sketching during my classes this last semester. I'm so excited to have a foundation now, making it more accessible for me to create my own characters, and be proud of them. I'm starting my beginning drawing class this monday, and we'll more be concentrating on objects, but it still should be good, and I'll learn some great things to further my progress with technique. But in my free time I can practice my people.

[@martinlawlor2520]

Great! Amazingly generous. Thank you.

[@FrostFinn123]

Mary, can you do a tutorial on perspective of drawings? Like your view from a particular angle and how things get bigger or smaller depending on the perspective the drawer is trying to represent. It would help a lot in my drawings 😊

[@epicsuace]

You made it so much easier To draw anatomy. I spent my whole Freshman year doodling different anatomy techniques and yours was the easiest to understand. :)

[@sophierondy5256]

thanks for the guidless mary doodles i love your art

[@celial.4379]

Hey Mary! This tutorial helped me out *a lot*, and I'm really happy that I understand the proportions and guidelines now. Love your vids, keep up the good work!

[@susanLihasidentityissues]

Thanks so much Mary! I knew how to draw human bodies before but this tutorial really helped me understand how to draw figures even more, and you really help me through my problem areas, in an entertaining way.

[@mrsstyles4evs]

That was an awesome video! Really helpful at the end when your showed how the body types differ, that's soomething I struggle with but that made it much clearer.

[@crownedoll]

This was one of the videos that got me interested in cartoons! I studied a lot and was accepted to many universities that I really liked. Thank you Mary!

[@jonathanwasden3692]

this helped so much i have searched for a very long time to find something to help me this helped me thanks so much!

[@karolinecelis1372]

I am very experienced, whereas this does not hurt when going back to basics. Because I want to get out my comfort zone, and draw different hairstyles, drawing full bodies sizes, especially in motion and etcetera. =)

[@hanamunton2609]

This is so helpful! I always get so confused as to where your hands stop because its so different on everyone. But this was great to really help me! Thank you so much Mary!

[@bookdreamer8297]

Wish I had you as my art teacher!!

[@gracemiller5744]

Mary, thank you for all of these HTA videos! They've helped me so much and have inspired some wickedly amazing characters if I do say so myself, so thank you!!

[@MiriamGallacher]

this was super helpful thank you! i find it really relaxing watching you drawing it out as well i have no idea why

[@ebeemel]

Is it weird that I think you might be the human embodiment of everything sweet and lovable? It almost definitely is, but still. Not to mention your amazingly talented and your creativity is unbelievable! Your channel is super underrated and you totally deserve a ton more subscribers! Much love!

[@ninajoob9253]

[@JACKALTOOTH100]

Holy shit thanks alot. It's been like a full year since I've sat down and drawn people and I really needed help with proportions more than anything.

[@EightbitHart]

Hey Mary! I LOVE these videos. They have helped me out so much with basic drawing and watercolor techniques. For the next one could you talk about how to draw hair or other small details like that. Thanks!

[@arthuravagyan4568]

OMG BEST TUTORIAAALS. LIVE U SO SO MUCH. Also the way you talk and explain things make your videos even better. And also I'm from Armenia. HI

Thank you. You are very talented and helpful.

[@SpunkyGecko]

I find your "how to" videos so helpful! Could you perhaps do one on hair? I can never get hair to look like anything but a bowl cut lol

[@moreand2699]

Thank you very much, As for me, A very seriously dummy for art, This was the only tutorial about proportion that I could follow.

[@jojotheawesome7268]

This has helped me so much! I always failed at drawing people and I tried using this and I feel amazingly artistic, so excited for drawing!!

Great explanation - very much appreciated 😊

[@cinnamonsim5023]

This is just what i needed!! Thank you so much!

[@427Arbok]

Really helpful stuff. I'm not looking to become a professional, by any means, but I'm trying to learn at least to put some basic forms to paper, and this is a huge boon to that end. Thanks!

[@rhperson0901]

Mary, I think you are awesome! Thank you vids👍🏾

[@joseesparza4970]

Does anyone have any tips on drawing clothes and clothing wrinkles and Mary you are really talented

[@WhaleTank]

Jose Esparza I second this notion

[@Seshomarufan32]

So clothing sis pretty simple if you can understand how the wrinkles work. Usually just starting out with wrinkles at bends helps you understand the shape to where you can develop it and see "hey let's try adding more wrinkles" and being able to produce different fabrics. But starting with simple bends and also splaying he stitching on the sketch sometimes tends to help me. I think I'll probably do a stream for this actually. Well just try not to go overboard with wrinkles. That's really what makes clothes stand out.

[@joseesparza4970]

Thanks

[@Seshomarufan32]

Yeah if you have any specific questions I'm glad to help. I like to play around with the clothing a wrinkles most of the time but really the amount you place depends on what you think looks nice with how you draw.

[@JaySiggz]

The best way to learn that is to do studies from life. This is the real way to learn to draw to a professional level. Get a cloth draw it in like 4 different angles and while you do that you must analyse the wrinkles and how different parts of the cloth overlap and twist. After that, go out and draw people in libraries, markets, cafés. Make sure you focus on their clothing. Do this a lot and I promise you will find drawing clothes easy. It worked for me so it can work for you. There is no other better way. Don't try to find an easy set of instructions on the Internet. You will search in vain.

[@hanallapashtica7871]

Thank you for the tutorial! I have the wooden human figure, but it's nice to do the guidelines if I don't have my mannequin close-by.

[@KaosCreations]

Love this video, and the way you go over how to do things in tutorials. I've been drawing and practicing for years but I always love watching different videos on how people approach drawing different things, I can always learn more. Actually, you inspired me to try out dip pens and India ink which should arrive soon and I can't wait to try out!

[@crazyethan4230]

Omg, this helped me so much!

[@sermon_draws_sometimes8934]

Could you maybe make another video fleshing this topic out more? This time talking more about muscles and how to make your shape skeleton look like a person rather than just guidelines. That being said, this video was *super* helpful, so I thank you for that!

[@marydoodles]

Sermon Gill Absolutely! The full process is kind of a big topic and can easily be a 40 min. video. I'm wanting to make videos that really focus on specific elements and ways to approach drawing. :)

[@sermon_draws_sometimes8934]

***** That's great to hear! Can't wait until you post again, and once again - thank you for this video.

[@dobbyq1]

***** Could you please do a series about humans like different shapes, different face expression and those stuff? :) Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeee! :) Pleeeeaseee :D PLease with cherry on top? :D

[@xdunn]

The only thing I had trouble with art is... You guessed it proportions I always got the head to big, or arms to short, you get the idea, so this video did help a lot thanks. :D

[@Sveivegrammofon]

Thank you for these tutorials, Mary, they have helped me a lot, and your art is amazing:) Could you maybe do a video on how to draw hair and fabric?
