Art Fundamentals: Shapes & Forms

[@123shinryuuji]

At first the loudness/audio quality of the video really turned me off. But then you explained things so simple and crystal clear, that I felt embarrassed about my initial reaction. Your videos are so, so great. Thank you very much.

[@PirateSkye]

I've watched plenty of videos, but this one actually explains everything thoroughly. Everyone always talks about breaking down subjects into simple shapes/forms but you actually demonstrated how to with simple subjects, complex subjects, and natural subjects. Thank you so much for making this video!!

[@KeithAurea]

I’m able to see all the spheres, cylinders, and cubes around me now 🤯

You are now Neo, able to see the code that constructs the world :)

thats odd all I hear are people in my head

[@ファン百合]

thanks clint, your videos helped me a lot through my journey as a complete beginner

[@Swatches]

Glad to help

[@zammiejones]

I really love the way you explain the fundamentals, there's always one little side note you put on. Which I haven't heard anywhere else. I know this is an old video, and you probably won't read this, but thank you 🙏🏼

[@Swatches]

Glad it was helpful!

[@quiteliterally400]

no joke, I actually started seeing things as 3D shapes too

[@woodfamily5229]

I just had three cylinders, two fried circles with smaller circles in the middle, each covered in shredded cube for breakfast.

[@sundaymourning_]

i’m so glad to have found a video that actually breaks these concepts down so a beginner can absorb it. this is the first series i’ve watched that actually makes SENSE to me, instead of just “study the fundamentals” and listing what they are without explaining how to do it

[@rovorovo9511]

This really did help me, I almost quit cause i could not understand what to do or where to start, until I saw this so thanks.

[@asmr_missdior]

@Rovo Rovo, I completely agree. This helped me so much, I now know where to begin with my sketches and paintings!

[@birdtheskatingdino]

i've been wanting to practice art for a long time, and i've watched a countless amount of videos and tutorials and i don't think any other video has helped me or given me a clear understanding of what i'm learning as much as this video has ! i know this video was posted years ago but it was genuinely helpful, thank you !

[@axelsyranopedemekuenzob1871]

I understood so many things. I dont know how you do that but cudos..you are really good at putting the process of drawing step by step in words so well

[@Swatches]

Thanks so much, glad you found it helpful!

[@gsdls]

Way to open my eyes even more and I've been drawing for years. Thank you

[@Redtady]

As a beginner, this video really helped me to realize what I need to focus on and find direction. Thanks so much.

[@blakes9992]

This is a gem. I hope more people find it

[@iamacatwholovesbread]

Thank you for this!!! I can't go to art school, so I learn as much as I can online. I'm working on my forms and shapes, and this is one of the videos that explained the topic so simply and clearly 💖

[@deannakent600]

So happy to have found your channel and this fundamental series. Well done! I'm an old fart who has always been interested in drawing but haven't taken the time to learn. It's tougher to learn now. My fingers are arthritic and my brain isn't as sharp and my eyes are shot but hey learning without judging the initial results is as fun as it ever was. I'm in. Thank you for sharing.

[@Swatches]

Thanks for watching! We have a number of "old farts" who are getting back into art in the Swatches group, come join in, www.swatches.group

[@ninja_tony]

I just found this channel yesterday, and I must say it's incredible. I've been an artist for over 20 years, but unfortunately stopped working on art for a long time. So most of this I do already know, but I felt like I should brush up on the fundamentals since it's been so long. Your videos have been fantastic at helping me knock off the rust and remember all the topics I learned years ago. Thank you!

[@Swatches]

Welcome aboard!

[@Koolee2]

Finally some good advice and exercises for drawing forms! I’ve been looking forever for something like this!

wow, this video helped me a lot as a beginner, thanks!!!

[@m.pravin4503]

thanks for the lesson. you saved me from getting stuck, where to improve myself to get better at character design. also watched the basic anatomy series. really awesome

[@ThatBlondExilus]

Glad I came across this series, you explain this stuff much better than other's that I have seen.

[@artofrom9424]

Thanks for the video Clint! This was very helpful. I often have to take a step back and remind myself about the basic shapes, so having a refresher like this really helps. Also I'm glad to see you back on youtube!

[@humaira7420]

Can't thank you enough for these free lessons.

[@SpaceZombie]

This series is pure gold. Thank you very much.

[@liljerky9670]

I was so shocked watching this video :0 it made things in my mind finally click :D I was so shocked that I had to go take a break :D I'm going to work on this every single day!!! I never knew about it! Thank you so much this video was perfect! You seriously deserve more credit than you you seriously deserve more likes and views!! Thank you so much for explaining everything clearly I'm starting to love this video series!!

[@bonquva]

you are. the best. art teacher. on youtube. PERIOD

[@tranthitieunhi110]

It's so helpful. Thank you a lots. I was given a assignment by my teacher but don't ever know how to do forms and shape. But I think I get better now.

[@blue36719]

this video is super helpful for beginners 😍

[@piotrc3718]

It was really brilliant. Breaking up the art basics into a few chapters is really amazingly helpful. I'm a total beginner and didn't know where to start. I was so lucky to watch this is my first video on the subject.

[@akarial2713]

Finally found a good explaination for these ! Thank you ! I have been drawing for years, all self-taught, and now I'm stuck feeling like I don't progress anymore... So i guess I'm doing it in the wrong order XD but time to learn the basics ! Thank you for it !

[@thesleepyblueberry]

this is really helpful! ive been trying to get into drawing for years but everything was really challenging or scary to start but this really helped me understand the concept better :)

[@ductive]

you can not imagine what happened to me after just 10 minutes of doing what you said i felt that i improved a lot

[@abcdefghijklmnop2492]

wow dude. you just blew my mind with that idea. cool video. thank you. Many blessings to you kind sir

[@andrii21]

A high quality art video. Now, I think I can simplify complex things since you gave an example on how to simplify complex things in simple forms (since details overwhelmed me a lot). Thank you for uploading this vid and I'll keep drawing until I improve my art!

[@Swatches]

You're welcome, glad you found it helpful!

[@laurewinkelmans9501]

It sounds like a given, but I've never thought of nature's elements like forms. This actually simplifies landscape drawing for me. Thank you.

[@SandroCrystalColor]

This video helped me out a lot! Thank you for opening my eyes to shapes & forms.

[@sabahatsaleem1199]

[@NekoSmash]

Thanks Clint. The entire video was very useful, especially the exercises given at the end and the mindset (for recognizing basic shapes in the real world). If anyone happens to have other such useful exercises, please do share :)

[@laneminor6240]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am an art major in college, and I have never gotten a lesson on the art fundamentals. My first drawing instructor was always hungover and my second was pressured by the class to provide assignment based work rather than instruction based work. Your tutorials have been a major help to me. The only item you have not covered/don't plan to cover is line, but I have been using the instructional on drawabox.com for that, so no worries. Thanks for your work.

[@Swatches]

Glad you've found the videos helpful Lane! That's true, I haven't covered lines, I need to consider that. Drawabox is an excellent resource, good mention.

[@KC-zm5lg]

This was SO useful u have no idea. Thanks man!!!

[@lunexbot8437]

Drawing the contour lines first really helps with grasping the form in 3D.

Just what I am looking for! As a beginner artist, I wanted to learn to draw but was stuck on what to focus on and I want to draw so much. Thank you for this video and giving me the direction I need to continue in my art journey.

[@abracadabra866]

I heard of the phrase "think in form not in line" something like that, but it was for realistic drawing meaning we shouldn't see lines in the drawing. This could be "think in form not in shape" it is really helpful, thanks ! Just notice that eyes and lips from the side looks more like a cone to me ^^

[@solinsiam81]
