Everything You need to know about Drawing Fundamentals

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Check out my drawing course on Proko: www.proko.com/s/FLC2?af=543975

[@rivsany0291]

Precisely yesterday i was going back into the fundamentals because I’m very rusty with that. How surprising to see that one of my favorite artists just uploaded this! Thank you so much!! 💖💖💖

[@Amik.444]

I am so mind blown. I’m trying to work on my drawing and become a tattoo apprentice. People keep telling me to WORK ON THE FUNDAMENTALS. And I didn’t understand. But THIS almost makes me want to cry. I didn’t get a good education and books and art have been my only passions. I subscribed and will definitely be using your videos. Thank you!

[@JessicaChave-wk2tm]

Definitely my interest in different mediums has expanded the more I’ve learnt.

[@InfiniJade]

Though stated, this is not the most technically advanced video on shape fundamentals; it does serve to make these topics amazingly approachable, less intimidating to focus on, and motivating to expand on. It's hard to find a video that doesn't make you feel like you're not even capable of *beginner* level stuff or feel like it's safe to go back to the basics. Thank you for making this video

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Thank you! So glad you found it helpful!

[@dwagin6315]

This is why I love Michael Hampton, he breaks it down into more digestible and understandable pieces. Compare this to other art channels, which can feel a bit disheartening since they always make it seem so easy and simple.

[@Ferdouse]

Nice take on perspective, I find drawing landscapes helps with perspective drawing, although buildings can be a bit more dificult. cheers.

[@Paintology]

Couldn't agree more, understanding tonal drawing helps me to improve as well!

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

Pretty much every day for four years. It feels impossible to achieve anything close to consistent perfection. Scott Robertson said he met a guy that never used guides and he was near perfect so I'm going to spend my life trying 😁

[@katm8128]

Recently purchased your figure drawing book and it’s been such a great help already. Thanks for uploading here too so we can watch this in real time and learn

[@aboudaymane8195]

Thank you i also have the book its really healpful the way you simplify the chape / May god (Allah) gide us and bless you

[@thanatos454]

Just a heads up to anybody practicing placing ellipses on a turned plane (10:23) The major axis of the ellipse will not go through the center of the x on the plane. Don't stress yourself out trying to force it. MH's major axis wasn't placed properly in this demonstration. It is too far to the right.

I am so glad to have found your youtube channel. Thank you for sharing this!

[@xtanpx]

Mr. Hampton has a KZbin channel!? Thankyou internet for leading me towards this.

[@Ben-bg2lp]

This video is the best thing that has happened to me during the past year.

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video Mr Hampton, thanks so much for sharing as always

[@3cc290]

this is a great addition to your book. thank you!

[@Peter-wl3tm]

I’ve been taking Brent eviston drawing course, It’s just part of the stuff that one must practice in the course. I struggle too when I draw the ellipse thinner to the left

[@alextimilehin9255]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I look forward to watching the form intersection. I really have problems understanding that concept

[@Anwah]

a friend and I needed this information, thank you.

[@aliyutube]

wow didn't know u have yt now! may the yt algorithm god bless your channel.

[@Trid3nt861]

I have the book next to me on a book holder stand referencing the hands and fingers for study purposes.

[@seokinchung]

lots of time, I saw students being fascinated in making perspective very "wide angle lens"-like. It usually makes lines converging to vanishing point in very steep angles. Combined with extreme yoga-ish pose figures. it makes things extremely hard to figure out and usually ends up with very obscure unsatisfying results.

[@Peter-wl3tm]

When making a box to put a head or body in perspective do you use linear perspective (converging lines) or do use isometric perspective (parallel lines)?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Parallel lines unless I'm drawing something that is in 1pt.

[@Peter-wl3tm]

@@stevenmichaelhampton so would you say that whenever you draw figures in perspective you use parallels and not converging lines? if so is it because the converging lines will throw off the figures?

[@terrystrong9787]

Thank you for a great class

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@allisongrimaldo1502]

I plan on doing the drawabox course then taking your figure construction course right after. Is that a good idea? Or should I do gesture before the construction?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Up to you. I'd go with whatever you're most interested in.

[@bharat5194]

Really appreciate it

[@richardhall4318]

What is your color mix for the pencil you for gesture drawing? I would like to replicate that color on my iPad. I enjoy your videos. Thank you in advance.

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

I'm using a warm black. So basically a red in the bottom right corner of the color square.

[@theen.d.5353]

Are forms and connections necessary for a quick form of figure drawing

[@theen.d.5353]

Ur book is the best art book I have ever bought

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Maybe not for gesture but they definitely help for any stage past that.

[@mudassar84]

If i am correct you are the author of drawing and design book

[@IDontKnowYouWhoAreYou]

How many times do I need to practice this ?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Only when you want. I still practice these and always find something to work on.

[@rudyrmn3043]

I guess you recommend to follow the course + the book for from scratch beginner 😅

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

There's also tons of content for free on yt that you could use.

[@voltjmgaming2119]

How do you go about costume design?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Here's a lecture on drapery from my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoC5Z3qmarOEd68

[@voyager161]

Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching. Warm up.

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Peter is awesome! These are also in a ton of other books too! Scott Robertson's perspective guide is one.

[@tiendrebeogor63]

Sorry how can i begin on paper or digitally

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Either. I don't think it matters to much

[@tiendrebeogor63]

@@stevenmichaelhampton sorry can you help me with a beguinner program can help me to be better

[@davidfilho1232]

Nice!

[@Erdadola]

Is this video part of your proko course ?

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

Yes, it is. The Figure Construction course.

[@danony_ya]

Oookay, conteúdo.

[@EnziuYT]

This made me even more convinced that I should go through drawabox course.

[@yourfatboy5359]

I am 18 years old, suddenly i want to become an artist and draw but i have absolutely zero experience what so ever, never touched a pencil and drew with it, my knowledge on drawing is lesser than that of a 4 year old, is there any advice on what to do? there's just so much things to learn and its overwhelming. The only advice i found is "just keep drawing" this isn't helpful in the slightest for me, saying this to me is like saying "just keep doing 1 + 1 and one day you'll be an expert on advanced mathematics" Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@stevenmichaelhampton]

It's all very subjective, there isn't a direct route to all of this. I know that's frustrating. I'd start with something basic and with an emphasis on foundational skills. Maybe consider a dynamic sketching course, they're perfect for developing basic mechanics and a broad appreciation of subject.

[@yourfatboy5359]

@stevenmichaelhampton thanks for the advice!
