FORCE Drawing - Part 1 - with Mike Mattesi

[@kumoblade]

Mike, I picked up your book about 4 years ago and skimmed over it a little bit and not really taking it seriously and it promptly went to my shelf. It seemed alien to me in its entirety as if I just didn't have the sense to see what you see. I wanted to get serious about my artwork about 9 months ago as my baby girl is starting to express interest in art. So I dusted off your book and for the first time, read it and more importantly, understood it and it changed everything for me. Thank you

[@HowardWimshurst]

I love this book - have recommended it to a lot of people, thanks Mike!

[@rlalrinsanga4499]

[@michaelgta6702]

Hey i know you

[@ZatchBell_ODD]

I don't know you ?

[@itsisha9762]

the first book changed my mindset completely when it comes to drawing. THANK YOU SO MUCH these books are gold. especially for animation.

[@AdNauseamart]

Seriously one of the most important lessons on drawing out there, thank you for this!

[@theartoftk1]

This book is amazing. I looked Michael up so I could see him drawing instead of just the book. So good!

[@maxinehyndman1505]

Amazing tutorial, one of the best so far on drawing that I've come across. I'm a serious beginner and this one tutorial has helped me more than you know! Thank you!

[@camerondegio8916]

its been 10 years and now force is a brand

[@kahnaemery7767]

Wow-what a great tutorial!! I noticed the ease in which you drew that 1st line-beautiful! I understand what you are saying about Force. I have realized my own fear and perfectionism and agonized over it. I am so grateful for what you are sharing to us artists. It is a a treasure!

[@Surgehero5136]

WOOOOOOOOOOW your blowin my mind. I feel like I'm learning so much from the videos and the book thanks so much for creating these

[@tidusyumemiru]

I have been trying to gesture draw for a while now and they looked lifeless, despite being posed or seeming reasonably anatomically correct. after seeing this I get what they're lacking and also the way in which I sketch (example 1) is doing me a disservice. Thank you so much.

[@FailingDarkness]

Having spent years learning about the scientific definition of force, this is a huge shift in thinking. I can FEEL everything your saying, but it hasn't really gotten to my head yet. :) It's such a new and amazing concept for me.

[@6Anger6]

Thank you so much for making these videos, Mike. Your way of explaining things have helped me immeasurably in my work.

[@UcanDraw]

This book is great! A must read for anyone learning to draw more and bettter... This book I really recommend!!

[@seaseawhisper499]

[@Zager-recap]

[@RafiaES]

Amazing concepts.. full of depth. Loved watching it.

[@g.gg.g4539]

4:31 what Is force 5:36 present ideas through line

[@wakeupuk3860]

Only my frst viewing of your style and straight away could relate it. Have an Engineering and teaching Physics where the concept plays a very important part also as a young man studied and taught Tae Kwon Do where tthe application, thinking, and direction of Force play a veru important part. I too also developed a sytem for students to understand and learn Maths by what I called 'TECHNIQUE' in breaking down the strikes and kicks thinking 'What do I know', 'Pick the right technique (ie formulae , tool), 'Apply it' and practise it so often it stops being a series of steps and becomes a natural fluid action. For 15years worked very well for many of my students. Thus from what I have just seen and having tried out contour drawing, many very loose light lines where by luck you get one ood one which you darken - your FORCE style I can very much see what you are getting at. I shall watch your other videos with great interest. Thank you.

[@othmaneeljacfi3747]

well mike you did change someone's perception, my drawing went from "how i draw a good line" to "ok i can see what the model do and feel"

[@strongindependentblackwoma1887]

He also has a video in Proko's channel, go check out that too.

[@vikrant555]

Did you read the book ? I got it and I don't get what he is trying to say besides drawing in gesture style... Can you help ?

[@studiot7480]

LOVE your work! I have one of your books and have just ordered the other two through amazon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in tutorials like this :)

[@noahwillett5925]

I subscribed for this material, and Michael Matessi

[@jessicaveeno]

when he flicked the pencil over the paper ever so lightly...masterful🥰

[@kumoblade]

I'm in the same rut because I try to draw what I think I see or what I think I know about the subject. Just keep finding reference pictures and try to exaggerate the poses. Do lots of gesture drawings. I find them to be the best thing in the world for capturing force and energy. Also, something else that helped is holding my pencil in an overhand grip between my thumb and forefinger and draw with the arm and shoulder.

[@YukyDoodle]

Oh snap I just looked back at my sketchbook and I have your sketchbook! Man thats trippy I was also looking at your books.

[@kamimesa8443]

Respect 💯

[@LucyMorningstarArt]

LOVE IT! Thanks. Getting the book.

[@refry101]

Great video, I already feel a leap in my understanding

[@iveno_]

LOVE IT THANKS

[@mcmthug]

one word, revolutionary!

[@artistb2]

Thanks mike

[@ravenshadowz2343]

Was that a Conté à Paris Crayon that you showed?

[@jmagness5946]

Hey Mike, long time no see. Great video! I bought your first edition book when you came and taught at Nick on a recommendation from Derek D and Sherm C. Its always nice to go back and revisit this info! Take care

[@subkons]

Nice video. What happened to the videos in the force drawing app? I can't access them.

[@THUNGUNS]

Went through it... Now for the force anatomy book 😎

[@colinreid325]

Watching your videos Mike to fill in the bits I don't seem to follow in yours books.

[@ifollettidelbosco]

Dove posso trovare la traduzione in italiano?

[@srinath993]

in love!!!

[@SuperAndroid2]

I got your two of your books, and after watching this video, i kinda understand it, but it's still hard for me to draw those force lines. i keep drawing stiff, i tried to just be loose but it's hard to get rip of the habit. do you recommend any thing that i can try? thank you

[@motzolala6869]

wow!!!!!

[@paladin590]

my advise is to watch the video on x1.5 speed

[@stevenmahoney1796]

Definitely. Lol i saw ur comment & did it 1.5

[@thefuckingprince6127]

Subtitles spanish pls

[@yvettesosa2462]

what medium are you drawing with? it looks like a charcoal or pastel crayon? great vid

[@DesertCentipede]

but i will try to buy , beacuse i heard this is an amazing book

[@seriousmax]

Why did you say karandash? It is a Russian word for pencil.

[@seriousmax]

+caio oliveira Ah I see. Wikipedia confirms: "Caran d'Ache" comes from the Russian word karandash (карандаш), meaning pencil, which in turn comes from the Turkish words kara taş, meaning black stone."

[@hafiz2664]

+The Max funny enough in 'malay' a language common in southeast asia, Kertas means paper.

[@mtnsaray]

@@seriousmax Hah good one. Kara Tas indeed means Black Stone but I'd never guess the link between Caran d'Ache!

[@JonnyRocketfingers7]

7:39 Fear will lead you, to the dark side of the force.

[@vladimirjohnson4650]

谁可以翻译翻译？ 师爷，翻译翻译！

[@verb9602]

I've been a person that draws like both 1 and 2 lol

[@tiagodagostini]

Unfortunately amazon Brazil is playing a hard joke on that book... its price is listed as roughly 300 DOLLARS .. no one going to buy it with a mistake/joke price like that in Brazil.

[@ipotatosenpai7002]

Wait wtf

[@brucenunn3268]

I thought that guy towards the End was Fishing..lol 🎣

[@elsagrace3893]

14 minutes to get to what you’ll be covering today, then video ends. Oh well. Better than so fast it slips right by viewer attention.

[@BreinGames]

Mike announces modern physics is dead. Declares Force as next big thing.

[@beckocin]

dat line o_o

[@AngieNg1994]

"Like" + 10000000000000 !!!!!! thanks !!!!!
