BRIDGMAN's KEY insight to ANATOMY drawings

[@KuoSketch]

Have any tips or story from learning or reading Bridgeman? let us know in the comments! :D

Learning actual anatomy is what helped bridgman art click. How much skill and control on the body.

[@gooblymcfarts]

He thinks the body as planes and which direction they go too and it's mind blowing

[@KuoSketch]

oh totally agree, that's a super important point... it's not impossible to learn anatomy from Bridgeman, but there are much clearer sources for that. i feel like Bridgeman is a much better suited to to learn high level design of the anatomy! thanks for the tip.

Been looking for a video that explains bridgeman's anatomy and this is one of the best

[@KuoSketch]

yey thanks~ glad it was of interest :D

[@wstpkhlwer1311]

Hiii i found this video randomly and loved it! I also checked out your ArtStation I really liked how you paint aswell. Awesome job!

[@KuoSketch]

yey, so glad to hear that dude! I had a lot of fun trying to be creative with this piece of art philosophy. Made it mostly for myself as practice, i'm glad other ppl get a kick out of it too :D

Interesting video. Bridgman is hard to study alone, especially if this is your first anatomy. Nonetheless I think his book are great gems and you could benefit so f much. I recommend not going through his books alone with a teacher. There is a great bootcamp in youtube from Marshall Vandruff in which he is deciphering all the essential drawings in Bridgmans Complete Guide to Drawing From Life. Strongly recommend, great teacher, amazing human being and it’s a hella fun bootcamp that’s like 16-17 hours. Hope this was helpful and sorry for my bad english (not a native speaker).

[@KuoSketch]

second this!! he's also super funny and chill

[@ronkempke6673]

If you want boredom, watch how easily Marshall can make you yawn but, if you want to learn how to draw, watch Glenn Vilppu.

[@KuoSketch]

Which Vilppu would you recommend? he's got stuff spanning the last 30 years. Ionno for me i like watching Marshall he always make me chuckle 😂

[@laisbatini]

great video

[@KuoSketch]

thanks a bunch! trying for a fun philosophical take at bridgeman hehe

[@wulfgang]

Great video!! Thank you for sharing

[@KuoSketch]

thaanks, it was a super fun editing exercise :D

[@itshel2677]

Real confusion is the one the spelling of his name left on me. It feels as though there should be an E but there isn't. Then you get used to it until you see someone misspell his name and you start doubting yourself. Then you run into the word "bridge" and your whole world starts to fall apart. All that is somehow very reflective of my art journey.

[@KuoSketch]

haha that's SO true! to add to the irony is the fact that "e" is a silent one in "bridge"--- it's not like we pronounce "bridge" as "brijj-ee". When i type BridgEman, the "e" automatically comes out of my middle finger.... it's an erroneous overcompensation for my IQ insecurities to say "See!! i know that "E" is silent!!" when there's absolutely no "E" to begin with. 😔 It's the haunted phantom E.

[@aberwood]

I LIKE ALWAYS SUNNY IT MAKES ME LAUGH

[@KuoSketch]

saaame!! watched it 8 times by now. i think this video is just an excuse to make an Always Sunny video-collage xD

[@MaiTai16]

Wonderful video, I have a better appreciation of Bridgeman now 🙌

[@KuoSketch]

thaaanks!! 😂😂😂 but epic fail!! i just noticed there's no "E" in Bridgman (title should be corrected now but all the text in the video will stay for ETERNITY!!! hehehe

[@nailbomb420]

Bridgman stan here, you're spot on. Some other things, he asserts (correctly) that the juxtaposition of curves, straights and other forms is the genesis of style and his work is one of the clearest at showing the mechanical structure of anatomy as a working system, as opposed to a still lifeless diagram. As an aside, in relation to the video itself, I think (in my personal taste) that the edits with clips from sitcoms was a bit overused/on the nose. Thanks for the video.

[@KuoSketch]

thanks for the support :D and thanks for the tip!! will definitely reduce number of (barely related) clips... i sorted forced them in cuz i's a fan xD

[@hugoboch3098]

What ? French academy drawing technique breaks images into straights. Charles Bargue drawing course was published in 1866. Bridgman at that time was 2 years old. I think this is kind of click bait and the other people you mentioned did already good job at explaining the essence of his philosophy.

[@KuoSketch]

Absolutely agree with you completely, but Also, both of those lines of teaching COMPLETELY embraced the traditional dogma in the final representations. Here is where our ideas diverged a bit: my point (which i explain poorly for sure) wasnt that "Bridgeman invented the straight line", but that he thought beyond the traditional dogma of the human form. personally i feel there are much bigger and glaring problems with my own thesis, but i love that your POV pointed out a clarity issue for sure. thanks for the diaglogue, it's my favorite part about making videos🙏 and good god i love the Moderndayjames one, so clear and succinct, and immediately practical. i'll try to get there with my writing one day i hope. (edit: removed awkward double negative in first sentence)
