i just graduated high school actually, but i dont know it just feels like theres always something to improve apon, and yeah ive been through many sketchbooks, its rough, but yeah, you are right there is a ton of practice involved

[@Glomsy]

1:02 I started laughing when he mentioned the two & a half heads. I'm taking a Life Drawing class, but I need 2 get better w/ proportions & values ='(

[@Mrsmacpickle]

You're dating a cartoon character?!!! Ha ha ha.. Loved this video! Thanks heaps x

[@Portfolioartschool]

@Shinozka Haha. Thanks so much for the comment!

[@gustavofigueroa95]

I have that same pencil!

[@frederikwolfe965]

Wow this is really great I really like your content

[@onceonly1111]

You explain that you are using heads, but the first thing you do after the first head is draw a line for the figure to follow, but dont really explain what it is for, then after drawing 7 heads for normal human proportion, you end up drawing mickey mouse, so we don't really get to see (though it would probably be in another of your videos) how to go from the heads to the human actual form.

Its been proven that people that critisize and dwell on negativity have a hard time learning anything...especially manners and gratuity...this teacher probably didnt even have to go through the effort to post this video that good hearted folk enjoy...just an oppinion...not just mine though...

[@bbrown1985]

Great tutorial... however? You say a human figure is 7.5 heads tall.. (1 for the head from the start) 1 head down to sternum 1 head down to naval 1 head down to pubic arch 1.5 to the knee 1.5 to the bottom of the foot. That's 7, not 7 and a half. =P

[@onewhitepony]

your really informative.. but funny too! I like this video. I'm trying to learn how to do figure drawing myself, as all I mostly can do is "xerox eye drawing" I can draw what I see haha.. anyways, i'm checking out the rest of your vids!

[@Krondelo]

@Keemera No that would be Mickey... you weren't a 90's kid were you?

[@gt_kenny]

your videos are not just very useful, but funny and entertaining. your voice sounds a bit like pixar's john lasseter :)

[@iddycool]

[@lalajiism]

[@7uncover]

[@Krondelo]

@Keemera oh, I really didn't think you were being sarcastic. Anywho, I'm glad you know the difference. lol

[@sobekflakmonkey]

i really enjoy these videos, kinda sucks though cause it makes me feel unaccomplished as an artist :(

[@PencilsandPancakes]

Could you explain about the porportions of the arms as well? I love your videos /subscrib'd

[@Keemera]

@Krondelo it was pretty clear to me that i was being sarcastic, see the lol at the end? ^_-

[@Krondelo]

@jklolbrbjk There are 7 1/2, the half head is before the knee.

[@gustavofigueroa95]

IT SHOULD MOTIVATE YOU TO GET BETTER, THOUGH.
