I did the entire "Copy Bridgman Twice" routine back in 2022, and it was one of the biggest turning points in my art learning journey. Not only did it strengthen my figure drawing, it also taught me the value of drawing what you saw from memory. Memory drawing is something I've incorporated in my practice ever since then. Thank you for your guidance, Finch-sensei

One of the best pieces of advice in this is doing something you did from reference, then doing the same thing from memory. This act reinforces what you learned and is what essentially transfers the knowledge from short term to long term memory.

David Finch, did you ever draw for a comic book before? I also want to say that Jesus is the Bridegroom and I (and the Church) are the Bride. Jesus is coming back and not a lot of people are ready because not a lot of people are living for Him. But God is living and merciful and it’s never too late to repent. Please, anyone who sees this, turn back to God. He loves you. Jesus Christ loves everyone and died for all of our sins. Jesus also rose again from the dead three days later, proving everything He said to be true (before He died He said He would rise again from the dead). Everyone has sin and the wages of sin is death. Sin leads to death and death leads to hell (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23) But Jesus died for our sins and paid our debt to sin, so anyone who chooses to believe in Him will be saved from hell and could go to heaven. If you want to make Him your Lord and Savior you could say this prayer: Lord Jesus, I confess You as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me for all of my sins, I repent and I turn to You. Please help me to live for You, and I love you. In Jesus name, Amen! If you prayed that, Glory be to God! Please get a Bible, read it every day, pray everyday and please go to church. Jesus loves you!

When I first got Bridgman I never understood him. I then I picked up Hogarth and he explained the circle swings then I understood proportion. I got a basic understanding of the muscles from him. But I kept talking to the image guys and they always told me Bridgman. Thanks for explaining this in more simple terms how I’m supposed to approach this. Sometimes I don’t get it if I look at it and draw it. I have to understand what and why I’m drawing it to sink in. I will give Bridgman a try again. Thank you for your simple explanations. Bless you and your family for this channel.

I had a very similar experience. Wish I had gotten more out of Bridgman in my early years because it would’ve helped my gestures and weighted balance, but Dynamic Anatomy from Hogarth really clicked something for me concerning the forms in depth and had a fast effect of helping me with muscle groupings and foreshortening, but I see why learning that way is criticized for good reason: it got me into bad habits of things being more stiff that I really exorcised out via doing a lot of bouncy cartooning. Guess there may have been a better route but I learned a lot of other things off the beaten path. Wish KZbin was happening in the 90s 😂 Oh well

⁠​⁠​⁠@@chasedwards9626 I like you was self taught doing this stuff and Hogarths way just made more sense to me how to figure out anatomy. It also enabled me to draw the figure faster. I looked at bridgemans stuff and was confused. I always questioned why are they asking me to copy this. Whereas Hogarth took the time to explain everything in his books. The Bridgeman books barely had that many words. But when Dave explained it. He broke it down simple.It’s making more sense. Yeah I too wish there was KZbin back in the 90’s.

GREAT video! I get super excited every time I see a new David Finch tutorial drop! I wonder if any other viewers have seen Jason Brubaker's 'Cognitive Drawing' books - they very much promote a similar method of repetition and drawing from memory that Mr Finch describes here, but are definitely a bit more basic than Bridgman - I'm working through his workbook on the male figure right now (there is also one on the female figure), and I think I will probably use that to ease myself in before tackling Bridgman next...

Finished the homework of redrawing every illustration in Bridgman's Complete Guide. It's crazy I started less than a month ago. Feels longer. The book is like the circular extraterrestrial language in Arrival: Not much at face value but it changes the way you think once you understand it. Instead of circles that instill an understanding of time, he draws blocks that teach the third dimension. After you redraw around 20 images the fact that every form is a structure tilted on all three axes starts to become clear. After 50, the drawings start laying down really fast because the underlying structure becomes instinctual. After hundreds you aren't thinking about it anymore. How the forms occupy space as well as how they weave and lock into one another becomes second nature. At this point I was doing a lot of side drawings and noticing that redrawing Bridgman's drawings at a different angle than he originally drew it was getting strangely easy. After I finished I went back to working on animations in Dreams and... You won't really notice it happening but when you go back to the style you're accustomed to drawing in, your ability to lay down volumes in space will have significantly improved. Animating difficult poses is effortless now it honestly feels odd. I recommend having a strong grasp on linear perspective before going into this. He expects you to know it the way a calculus book expects an understanding of algebra. If you aren't going to redraw the images there's no point in getting the book. I saw some bad reviews on Amazon from people who clearly thought reading would change something when honestly the book doesn't need text at all. The concepts are visual. I don't think a path of learning endorsed by David Finch needs anyone's validation but he is right, even if you were to skip the parts on head construction and limb specifics, just studying how he simplifies forms gives you an invisible framework that makes figure construction easier (if not easy). Thanks to David. I hope more people follow through. It's just a few hours a day

If you watch an old Robert Beverly Hale class here on KZbin you can see exactly the sort of classroom Bridgman was teaching in at the Art Students League, and how he's doing these big drawings with a piece of charcoal or conte on the end of a long stick. When you run across a Bridgman drawing that seems a little fuzzy or some detail was lost or whatever, there's a lot of drawings in the book that were taken from photos of those classroom drawings that were several feet tall and drawn with a 3 foot long stick! That's a real testament to his skill I think!

I have the Constructive Anatomy book, do studies from it, but what I struggle with a bit is, I can make the drawings look accurate, but my drawings get progressively bigger until they're much larger on my pages than on the Bridgman book pages

It's comforting knowing one of the most famous comic book artists in recent years also draws in a way that would've gotten them a scolding from my art teacher on chicken scratching.

Thanks so much for making these. It is really helping me. I am working on Bridgman now thanks to your recommendation. Also some people say use pen rather than pencil. It will be harder at first but in time you will make less mistakes and be more accurate. Do you agree with this? You use pencil a lot. I don’t want to hinder my progress by using pen when that may not be good advice? Love to hear your thoughts

When you messed up a little i was laughing for a whole minute and it gave me a moment of relief not because i was mocking or you something because i mess alot while doing things i work hard and i am trying to be a perfect in Drawing but more time i spend it doesn't seem i am getting " PERFECT " , i am improving but its like always i want some more of that, and on top of that papers and other things in different courses making it hard for me to concentrate only on Drawing and it sucks

I totally agree with that skeleton comment. If I need to draw a actual skeleton it would be when drawing a undead or necromancer. Maybe zombie. But more important to me is how body contorts and limbs connecting to body. Thanks David for your perspective. 💯💯👊
