DYNAMIC FIGURE DRAWING! - Comic Art Pose Tutorial (Feat. TheBoxOfficeArtist)

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Hi Everyone! Thanks again to my buddy Jazza for letting me overtake his channel once again! Please leave your comments and I'd love to answer each and every one of them :)

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

+xxmanuu thanks so much!

[@cnp-auto-1445]

really interesting, I have always loved comics and drawing like them and have been forever, love the style. Something i have been doing is putting a thick black edge around the sides to exaggerate them, do you recommend that? (ignore the name)

[@bafbaas1210]

Do you always sketch the entire skeleton or can you skip some of it when you are trained enough because you feel like it takes too much time

[@cnp-auto-1445]

thank you very much!

[@dramawind]

Is it pronounced "gif" or "jif"?

[@XxKINGxVIDSxX]

I actually adore how rough he actually began his drawing. I always see myself wanting to add very large details very early on. This helped a lot thanks !

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

thanks so much!

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

+Nicholas_ZAL3M hey!

[@Skeptic_pilgrim]

Haydn McChrystal the common mistakes we all do

[@h_curly6384]

I notice a lot of people who complain about not being able to draw suffer from this. like most people have never heard of a rough sketch and immediately try and fail to do a drawing like in the video.

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Note the finished drawing you can see on my channel :)

[@taliahayes5711]

Wow thanks. Subbing now. Your content is amazing!

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

+TomatoPotato Gaming thanks so so much! I appreciate it :)

[@shreyakduggirala6478]

+TheBoxOfficeArtist Your work is amazing!!!! I made a great choice by subbing to you!! Keep up the stellar work!!! Ps. The hardest part of this for me is always coming up with the pose. Any suggestions on how to create a pose?

[@pastforward5064]

Amazing video! I love that not only were you very thorough in explaining each step, but you also have been very active afterwords in the comments figuring out what people liked and what you can improve. Keep up the good work!

[@GCchanneled]

Hey man is that the host of sourcefed in justice league form in your back? If yes do you have a video of you drawing it?

[@jonahlstrom4753]

I discovered this video (as well as Jazza and James Raiz) and this is responsible for upping my game in shading and just was an awesome video aid. Thanks both of you, 7 years later and my art continues to improve and thank you guys for getting me back into drawing.

[@tommybro5313]

I've been trying to create poses on my characters roughly like 5-6 hours because i don't want their bodies look stiff. While watching this video, i was dumbfounded that this method make it more easier to draw. Thank you box office artist, I will subscribe at your channel.

[@GerardoGart]

**Sketches out in ink for a tutorial** I wish i had this mans confidence

[@suprintenterprises2678]

That confidence comes from 20 years of experience

[@sapnavora6834]

IKR

[@jerryang17]

His rough sketches of the hands are amazing! Hands are usually one of the few things that trouble me when drawing (especially on a small scale because of the difficulty in controlling line weight). James is crazy talented and crazy committed (see the Star Wars tribute he is currently working his ass off on for Comic Con)! Mad props!

[@esaartkoski4063]

it's so satisfying reading these productive and positive comments in tutorials rather than ppl fighting about whether biggie was better than tupac or sumthin

[@soundslikeawinner9538]

Esa Artkoski 🤣

He was tho

[@artmeatj6620]

Roshi F I agree

I can’t believe this was posted two years ago, I remember getting the notification and watching it like it was yesterday (these r like my favorite KZbinrs too)

[@tusenbensen334]

This is one of those that I have to wait for a good time to watch

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

hope it'll be worth the wait :)

[@josephjung6477]

+TheBoxOfficeArtist what pencil do you use and what led

[@tusenbensen334]

+TheBoxOfficeArtist It definitely was, new subbie for you :)

[@lucasandrescosta391]

Making the sounds of the character as you draw aaaaahh childhood memories!

[@ernodios]

James is the most skilled artist I've ever seen in KZbin, and Jazza is the one that has inspired me the most, I'm so glad they're doing things together I hope they collaborate more in the future

[@emilymorrell4444]

if this guy drew a scribble it would literally be a masterpiece- literal perfection

[@mitrooper]

I love traditional art, so much more impressive than all that digital stuff we see these days.

[@whoisyamasta]

I believe digital art is more complicated while more forgiving.

[@JustusLynetta]

I can do the skeleton but I can't imagine the form over it.

[@Greerbowski]

I hear ya. Maybe try posing in the mirror and see how your muscles twist. Pay attention to the lines, aka perspective. If you are really struggling, maybe try some 2d /3D perspective drawing.

[@Greerbowski]

When I was little I traced a whole bunch. I think that really helps to train your brain on how the body should be positioned when posing.

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

+Ian Greer I totally agree and I did the same when I was young too :)

[@Elderahn]

What you need to do, is to gather up a bunch of good bodyrefs that you are curious about.. and then start to do it the other way around. Find the joints, make the skeleton on top of the full form. Reverse engineering is how you figure out a ton of stuff.

[@balls261]

Start taking life drawing classes or looking for equivalent resources.

[@TheBlackRhino007]

It's always enjoyable to see how other artists work. Much to learn. Thanks.

[@ricbulow]

Been a fan of this guy since his second ever video. Really a man worth watching, as he have talent for days and is such a kind and humble person. Good job once again, James :)

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Thank you buddy for the kind words - you've been a loyal follower for a long time - I really appreciate it - thanks so much :)

[@ahmedshaikh7662]

His skeleton poses make me soooo uncomfortable, like i dont understand where hes going with them until he puts the meat on the bones and then im like ohhhh shit!

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

lol! Glad the meat helped! Thanks for watching!

[@ahmedshaikh7662]

TheBoxOfficeArtist No problem! I love how it turned out!

that wingblade in the back was phenomenal ...and I've never could use the stick skeleton I go straight to the rough meat sketch

[@SpiffyJack]

This is a favorite of mine! It outlines sooOO much that leads leads to a great free style of drawing... for so many other realms of expression!! Thanks James...

[@madhavdnair7737]

Thank you so much! 'Cause of you now I can draw comics much better I feel much confident now!

[@ailurii]

Haiii, Jazza! You should make a forum on your website, that way people can share their artwork and have it critiqued. It's kind of like Sycra's forum, but I noticed on there everything is more professional and realistic and most of his audience is way different from yours, so it isn't that good a forum for people like me... Hope you like the idea, I think it could really be a great idea but if it's too much work you don't really have to.

[@mayfirerose]

something like this please!

[@KeshArt]

That's a Great Idea!

[@TeamTNTunicorn]

would be awesome! newgrounds has an art forum that would work as well

[@NoName-nz5xd]

It would be cool if their be 3 like subreddits (just the idea of a subreddit) for beginners , good, and profesonals. Im really sry for my english hope you understand what i posted

[@TXFDA]

Hell yeah. I'd join.

[@TommFoolery]

I Literally just found TheBoxOfficeArtist like 10 minutes ago, which inspired me to want to draw again, making me come back here (Ive been a loyal draw with jazza viewer for a bit over a year by the way)

[@NothingIsWrongToday]

watching you draw the poses actually made me see lots of things. since im no good with posing. I always stand my characters straight up if I ever Draw them whole. so This Kinda helped alot and will absolutely study more anatomy. :3 this was awesome

[@lovisaaxner437]

Can you please do a character session again? I Love those☺️☺️

[@Jazza]

+Lovisa Axner definitely!

[@wizbros2286]

I struggle with dynamic poses, thanks for the help

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@itsvipervenom2467]

2 favorite comic style artists in 1 video

[@drewgoff652]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a drawing tutorial full of comments that say this was helpful lol thanks James!

[@abhijeetjadhav2961]

he starts like some garbage and somehow in few mins turns out it into a finished piece....... fan of the style

[@fernando3061]

Your art ROCKS!!! The way you stretch your characters till it looks like their very last muscle fibers are about to split at the seams is amazing! I've been watching your vids and I'm trying to combine your style with this artist Yoji Shinkawa, the dude that does the metal gear solid art. His art is very fluid yet the muscles he draws have a little edge to them, like the lines are somehow more jagged but yet fluid. If I can get your dynamics with his edgier definition I will be super satisfied. Keep doing your thing man great stuff!!

[@JanaKrejciOfficial]

THANK YOU JAZZA! thanks for introducing us this amazing artist James ! I am amazed ! Thats what i apreciate about you, that you true artist in your heart ! will there be any interview with this guy ? i would love it !

[@RealMelodyBlue]

I know this is from 5 years ago, I have been wanting to learn to draw android type human, this video has given me more perspective on how to do it.

[@troyleecruz9495]

This video and drawing technique fits well in my art class at high school :) THANKS A LOT JAMES!! I hope my teacher will be surprised!! LOL

[@officerM1911]

Im in my Junior year earning my BFA in illustration. This has been a a GREAT block of instruction. Its going hand and hand with my anatomy class! I cant wait to draw some covers pages and panels.... using this new knowledge!

[@animal123crazy]

I am going to have to follow this guy. I adore the style and the teaching in this video. Plus, ITS BLACK PANTHER *cue fangirl face*

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!

Very talented!, after watching this video i realized i want my style to be in a comic style, but more conformed to my personality , thank you for helping me with construction as well!

[@Dura_kson]

i like your drawing style!!!!

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

Thank you so much!

[@dashingrex007]

[@caelschwark6477]

What is the best way to learn comic art? Drawing already created characters, studying anatomy, or designing characters, etc. Awesome video by the way. Love your channel!

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

all of it lol! I actually have a series on my channel where I talk about becoming a comic artist - check it out when you get the chance :)

[@caelschwark6477]

+TheBoxOfficeArtist I definitely will. Thank you for replying! Great artwork.

[@asdadd6304]

you have no idea how helpful this video was...much appreciated

[@maracamarauder3901]

His rough sketches that take 5 min are already better than my 3 hour drawings that look like a 3 year old drew them.

[@erikschreiber4671]

Well so get better bitch

[@thomassmartphone7125]

Then you are a beginner, of course your drawings are bad. You could spent days and it wouldn't be better

[@ssh635]

Such a helpful video! Nice Jazza, I know you are in France and you still make videos for this channel while you are on vacation. Thanks, JAZZA :D

Hey jazza ,can you make a video on shading dynamic poses

[@MF_ZORO]

This has really helped me out a ton. Starting to understand that having a strong fundamental, skeletal piece usually means that the developed piece will be that much better. Perhaps there is hope for me after all :P

[@Hylleberq]

Perfect! I was just looking to improve my body proportions in art further! I'm happy to have stumbled upon this!

You just make it look so easy. I've always wanted to draw a comic book.

[@BoxOfficeArtist]

thanks so much!

[@xandercorsaj5691]

All very good, but how do you make the decision for how big/small etc when foreshortening? I realise experience is indispensable, but is there, like, procedure?

[@MA-di2tt]

Finally someone who knows how to draw in this channel!

[@friendlyneighborhoodasianm912]

thank you so much! everytime tboa says claws, andy serkis makes a demonic laugh.

[@austinmunson5034]

You have to be pretty familiar with anatomy from the skeleton on to the muscles and finer details in order to take this process through to the finish. Always be working on your life drawing skills (figure drawing). The best advice I've been given throughout my college career is to move from general concepts of what you are drawing/painting to specific. Your knowledge of the subject can carry you through it afterwards.

[@exosquelette]

In France! Welcome Jazza! I'm a french fan😁

[@offworldcomix]

Let’s all appreciate how the box office artist is doing rough sketches with a pen

[@myrkflinn4331]

I saw the thumbnail and yeah, thought it was strange Jazza could be so similar to This guy's style xD (I keep forgetting his name). Now I know why, Jazza doesn't go about them inks XD but very nice! More teachings of TheBoxOfficeArtist, why not!

[@linadeligianni9512]

I like big knees and I can not lie😂

[@robinlehner8269]

[@hotlinepeep57]

Lol i just starred at the bird behind him in the beginning xD

[@mythdusterds]

This was my introduction to James Raiz and I have been subscribed ever since. Thanks Jazza. It means A lot that you helped share and introduce other artist on your KZbin channel. This was a collaboration where James always references and credits you for helping to build his community and the Community James has created insist when are we going to see James Collaborate with you in some sort of project. Thanks so much.

Dispite the overload on "ok?" and "right?", still a good video :)

Different styles to make a video, but he, Jazza and Mikeymegamega are my mentors in drawing for years now and I never felt bored or underinformed during a video...

[@hemlockolympic]

Thank you for the video! I got really into comics and such after deciding to go back to the mmo DC Universe Online. Before the only superhero stuff I liked were Deadpool and My Hero Academia. Afterwards though, I watched Venom, just saw Into the Spiderverse aaaand now I’m hooked. Going to be hitting up the local comic shop after school tomorrow. 🤗 So I figured, might as well learn the basics of drawing the style! 👌
