Why do you want to draw a person? Check out my newest drawing video next to learn more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3rFq2mwmt6LiZI

[@edpetty006]

I want to start my own comic work

[@spacepirate1696]

Its the only thing I can't seem to draw without it looking like a pile of noodles

[@narwhale632]

All my friends draw their own realistic looking human characters and all I can do is draw cartoony things

[@bearynice4340]

For a school project where I have to draw a important part of the book

[@orangjoos1037]

I am designing a character for dnd

[@hanstporter]

I'm quite good when I copy something but when I draw something by my self it doesn't always turns out niceXD

[@philiphartshorn]

+Zepequeno 30 that's ok! Keep working on it and being able to use references correctly is a keen skill too!

[@SITIHAJAR-ne6wo]

OMG. We are same!

[@aracelylomas5031]

Zepequeno 30 I'm the same

[@Drekko2]

Its just normal beceause its way harder...

[@mhhakimmhzdi2080]

like copying your classmates answers

[@MackBott]

Why I wanted to draw a person? Cause I could draw the head and face pretty good but then the body looks like I was taking a break and a 5 year old came in and drew the rest XD

[@philiphartshorn]

FireStarGamer Haha that's hilarious but hey I'm just glad that you're taking the steps to get even better Fire Star Gamer! Just keep at it and you'll become just as good at the body! Are you on twitch? I stream Minecraft all the time over there!

[@MackBott]

+Daily Fillup yeah I'm on twitch, what's your name on twitch?

[@philiphartshorn]

FireStarGamer Awesome Fire Star, my twitch channel is also DailyFillup, looking forward to seeing you there - what games do you play?

[@MackBott]

+Daily Fillup well my favorites are probably Minecraft, roblox, and the walking dead video game. Thanks!

[@philiphartshorn]

FireStarGamer Awesome! Thanks for the follow my friend! I'll be on later tonight!

[@femboy.fisticuffs]

this guy looks like a dance instructor

[@philiphartshorn]

+Dave strudel Thank you! What makes you say that?

[@femboy.fisticuffs]

Daily Fillup I think it's the muscles and the short beard

[@philiphartshorn]

Wow thanks, I'm honored!

[@MrGrimlocksmash]

He reminds of the one guy from “the chainsmokers”. Anyway, thanks for the pointers. I’ve always been decent but I’d get frustrated drawing people. Subscription up!

[@merricka5538]

ITS ALWAYS THE FINGERS, MAN. ALWAYS. THE FINGERS.

[@philiphartshorn]

They are terribly difficult - takes years of practice but you'll get it - keep working and experimenting with them.

[@lifeaslic]

[@floppy008]

Ikr, and its fraustraing AF

[@goldenuniverse5375]

I draw a lot and I HATE fingers XD

[@hamooda1893]

Same but he helped with that

[@miekedelange4963]

At the beginning i tought you were drawing a stickman

[@naomi1705]

Lol me too

[@lavonnepeduca7270]

Mieke De Lange lolz,I thought he was joking at first

[@otaku.trishiafujoshi7973]

pffftt same...

[@despectusfastidium5060]

At First i knew, he would draw stick guidelines

[@liloso19]

Mieke De Lange thought and me too (:

[@nostalgicgamer8048]

Well, it's been almost a year since I last commented on this life-changing video. Ever since 7th grade, you really jumpstarted me in drawing things I never thought possible. Some of those drawings are never finished, like the previous ideas I posted here, and some proved to be the best there was. Once I was introduced to Homestuck and the people I roleplay with to this day, my art has changed drastically. Thank you for helping me go from blocks to curves, and squares to ovals. Without you, I would have never been able to do the sketches I gradually get better at. Keep on inspiring people to follow their dreams Phil!

[@pawsomeproductions9422]

"Get your mind dirty!" I DIED OF LAUGHTER.

[@philiphartshorn]

+PawsomeProductions Haha thanks Pawesome glad I could make you laugh - that is a really cool name by the way! Thanks for stopping by the channel and being part of it.

[@jdomaoa7468]

OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU MAKE A CIRCLE?!

[@philiphartshorn]

Very carefully, with magic!!

[@thememeguy2135]

First you draw the head, then erase some of the more detailed features, and 1 2 3, a circle! uh.. thingy.

[@otakucon]

I want my DND characters to be seen by my friends at the table, 1 humanoid shape can cover most if not all of them

[@philiphartshorn]

That’s such a cool reason! Thanks for sharing and have fun showcasing your character, I hope this helped!

[@aedan3295]

Dear Daily Fillup, WILL YOU BE MY ART TEACHER? seriously, you are the most chill, end easy going person ever.

[@philiphartshorn]

+mustacheman117 Thank you so much Mustache man, that made my day, teaching is one of my favorite things to do, lots of new art videos on the way my friend, I really appreciate the support!

[@aedan3295]

You helped me way more than any other artist channel and you didn't need it to be perfect first time. Thanks!

[@philiphartshorn]

mustacheman117 Awesome - totally just keep playing around and having fun with it, keep it fun and chill, you'll be much better than me in no time!

[@aedan3295]

Thanks!

[@TippyIsCool]

aedan。 it’s a positive love story Aedan and Phil lol

[@katelyn3141]

thank you so much for putting effort into making this a fun and easy atmosphere for learning!! It's a mammoth struggle for me to give my bodies a more natural form when I'm posing them for a drawing. I dug through 30 minutes of KZbin videos before this one ;;-;;. Keep up the great work!

[@philiphartshorn]

Wow I really appreciate the kindness, thank you so much for stopping through to visit and I hope it allowed you to draw an amazing person! I always try to make it an inviting atmosphere so I appreciate it!

[@MulrxiYT]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH IT REALLY HELPS ME

[@philiphartshorn]

+Rania J. Tuabdjil my pleasure!

[@kinoarcilla1125]

Rania J. Tuabdjil

[@sorensouthard927]

I wanted to draw a person because it's impressive and cool.

[@Hrmkratusa]

I learned that when you're an artist, one of the best ways to really begin to know yourself is to draw yourself as you see yourself. I haven't drawn in almost fifteen years, but it's nice to have found your video to stretch my imagination once again. Thank you.

[@kaytlyngreen982]

This is exactly what I needed! It’s not too detailed but perfect for costume design!! Thank you so much!

[@savin0279]

what is with that static noise?

[@sidla6989]

He has an old radio somewhere. The waves of the radio are interupting the audio, same happens when you are calling a person.

[@jamesmurphy2961]

Hey could you do a tutorials on hair, cloths,fingers, and eyes you video has really helped me so far thanks

[@philiphartshorn]

+James murphy Thanks so much James, absolutely I'll add those to the list, I've got a sort of "Season 2" on it's way, shooting lots of new drawing videos for you guys!

[@girlztiger1772]

hi, I'm curious. what are your thoughts for how to find your style ?

[@costume35]

hello phill what is the best book or software ect that i can use for body figure drawing for step by step beginners for someone like me that cant draw at all at all i am in to carnival costume design so i really want to learn asap

[@asmaaalsaqri8190]

Hey your grate at drawing, I am very into all types of art and I was just wondering KZbin and typed in how to draw a body and when I saw your video I was over joyed bc I could draw the person and I was very excited! So thank you my good sir and keep up with the videos bc you got another subscriber.

[@frostbreath3297]

can you show us how to draw a person that is bending over about half-way and in the perspective of in front of the drawing i cant seem to figure out how do draw a person drawling their sword from their holster but in a parshly crouched position in front of me

[@philiphartshorn]

+FrostBreath that's a tough position for sure - I'll add it to the drawings list - in the mean time try using this technique in this video for that pose and experiment, it may come in handy!

[@frostbreath3297]

ok thank you

[@lukesloyan4439]

what kind of pencil are you using in the video

[@Nikolia01]

I've been obsessed with the character I play in my dnd game, but ai art wasn't doing it for me. So I decided to sit down and learn to draw them myself. Thanks for all the help

[@plushie1019]

I wanted to draw because I'm great when it comes to items, animals, and other things like that. But then when wanting to draw people such as myself, original characters, or friends. I couldn't draw it without visually looking at something. Such as a picture or other drawing online. Well I was sick of that and wanted to draw people from my ideas instead of looking up other people draw thing and then copying their work. So that's why I'm here. ^^

[@philiphartshorn]

+Plushie Martin That's awesome my friend! I really appreciate the comment, and if you're already that good at drawing other things than you'll skyrocket to the top in no time! Keep it up and practice will pay you back 100 fold.

[@plushie1019]

Daily Fillup Thank you for replying. It means a lot! ^^

[@philiphartshorn]

Anytime thanks for being a part of the channel!

[@plushie1019]

no problem dude!

[@proudtobeafeminist8391]

Can someone amateur like me learn how to draw like you or is it a born given gift?

[@philiphartshorn]

+Proud To Be A Feminist Anyone can learn! If you put in some practice you’ll be better than me in no time. It’s just time put in, that’s all. In my case it was passion, I️ used to draw all day to cleanse my imagination, and still do.

[@philiphartshorn]

+Proud To Be A Feminist but I️ have no natural talent.

[@maithasmith1068]

talent is 1% and Hardwork is 99% so you can do anything you want if you have the well to do so

[@kai9234]

its a gift... And i have it :D. But i guess you can always learn

[@sizlax]

I kinda question this point tbh. I've seen a lot of bad art out there from people that have drawn a lot of art. Not to get down on anyone, you should never give up on something that you enjoy but I think that having a good eye for perspective and proportions helps big-time.

[@SirAcidFate]

since I started watching your videos my drawings have inproved from just free hand. everything is more accurate. it's helping me a comic a friend and I are working on!

[@philiphartshorn]

+AcidFateGP That jus made my day my friend - many more videos on the way so stay tuned, I'm so glad I can help you out!

[@Abs0lut3Cyner]

What kind of pencil and paper do you use?

[@kaitlynwheeler5057]

Percentage of comments : 70% I wanted to learn how to draw because a book I'm doing for school . . . 20% I wanted to learn because I have never really been good at drawing and stuff . . . 9.08% I want to learn how to draw so I could draw my friends and family . . . 0.01% I wanted to learn because a kid in my class was really good and I wanted to learn like them . . . 0.01% This comment

[@philiphartshorn]

This is way too accurate 🧐😂

[@JadenL1fe]

@just my name guusje I guess i'm a part of the 70%

[@consueloamortegui3099]

Omg I remember an old friend I used to have in 6th grade and he was legitimately so good at drawing like his drawings were ZHC and Gawx Art level of art and he made me really into drawing

[@eggsytablecloth0302]

THANK YOU. GRACIAS. GRAZIE. FA'AFETAI.

[@philiphartshorn]

+KittenWith aRPG you're welcome!

[@letsbehonesthoney.1038]

The Phil Up HERES A TIP GO SLOWER THIS IS FOR BEGINNERS YOU SACK OF LUMPS

[@imawkward9525]

This is amazing and really useful! I'm used to drawing anime, and I'm interested in anatomy, so that made me want to learn about realistic proportions. Thanks for the video!

[@danielkwaku3976]

What measurement do you use when doing the skeleton form of the body

[@thegorls]

3:08 HOW CAN SOMETHING LOOK SO SLOPPY AND THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN AT THE SAME TIME?!?! (sloppy in a good way xD)

[@andriusbeliauskas2720]

Thx! Į like drawing and drawing a body was always a problem for me. I put this in my Favourites THX AGAIN

[@philiphartshorn]

My pleasure! I’m so honored that you enjoyed it!!

[@kloolisw820]

How long did it take you to achieve/draw different poses

[@philiphartshorn]

+kedric williams not very long, but it took years to make them very believable as opposed to just decent. Practice makes perfect my friend, keep drawing and enjoy the journey.

[@troym514]

I need to learn to draw to plan projects for sculpting, drawing poses from different angles to help set the armature in a more permanent state early on.

[@mariisnugget8406]

My reasons are cause I love to draw (mostly i like to draw people) but i suck at it so I'm learning how to learn to draw

[@mariisnugget8406]

And so i can draw fan art

[@shitocodone8940]

Me too I pretty bad but I've slowly seen progression just watch a bunch of videos like this to see different techniques

[@philiphartshorn]

That's awesome - that passion will bring you through to greatness !

[@rowel9785]

Mine didn't turn out to be close to a human being. I am so fucked!

[@rowel9785]

I need to be a good drawer for my current course. I am really fucked.

[@AJtheBlue18]

Rowel Capulong Don't rush. Practice makes perfect.

[@lavonnepeduca7270]

Drawing isn't a hot chili that immediately spices,it takes time man ;) don't worry XD my drawing is shit too xD

[@toheedmalik2238]

Rowel Capulong saitama is that you?

[@arainnajackson5705]

Nice

[@zadoxreo4394]

The Phil Up+ I'm an artist my self but I have been out of practice drawing pictures for a long time, I need someone like you and others to sharpen my skills again thank you.

[@philiphartshorn]

+Zadox reo no problem you're welcome!

[@yorkiepimp6592]

I was always pretty fair at drawing except people!! I've practiced and have become quite good at faces. But I can't seem to take a picture and make it look like that person! How do I do that?

[@davinaflores1970]

the reason why i wanna learn to draw a person is because my therapist told me to make up an imaginary friend in order to cope with feelings of loneliness and depression so i’m trying to make a person basically. i also wanna use this technique for fashion and draw my own outfits and designs… uhhh kinda funny tbh.

[@lilaninjanarvidsson336]

Sad😢

[@selfdestructivecat4922]

The reason I want to draw a person.Because I can't draw SHIT

[@philiphartshorn]

+Catsrawesome 😂😂😂 well then I'm glad I can help!

[@selfdestructivecat4922]

The Phil Up you really did!

[@auroraotero61]

Catsrawesome me to sadly I only know how to draw animals

[@cheesecake4446]

😭

[@dominikarynkiewicz891]

Thank you, this gave me a great general understanding of how to draw a person! I'm planning to major in fashion product development and design so this will help a lot when I do sketches!!

[@Mukula96]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I actually love to draw and I drew a bit during school, but never really got that good at it. And now I'm soon going back to school and have some free time so I figured I would draw a bit. Thank you :)

[@philiphartshorn]

+Mukula96 My pleasure Mukula, always glad to share what I've learned to help you guys out. Keep practicing and you'll be much better than I.

[@yzasmine1441]

I saw that too but idk what it is... ;/

[@mrbadfox5193]

Projectcrossfire 0u0 / I saw the too, idk what it was for, but I guess it meant something was bad? maybe.

[@philiphartshorn]

+Heartlessman 315 guys most people can't handle the truth... Only those with special powers can see the X, it's kind of like being a wizard at Hogwarts.

[@yzasmine1441]

YOU ARE A WIZARD HARRY~

[@mrbadfox5193]

Yasmine C , but I don't want be a wizard.(ToT)

[@Hotel_hus]

I have have been doing are for around 6-8 years im 12 right now and i suck at it normally it should take a concentrated person 2 years to be good at art but i am still horrible at it should i quit?

[@asociallyineptstranger409]

So I wanted to draw a person because I like drawing anime, but I can only do things like eyes, and I find it difficult to draw a body shape. This tutorial was extremely helpful and deserves more credit than it gets, so thank you very much!

[@angelalam4997]

"she does have organs, guys"

[@philiphartshorn]

+Angela Lam So many people dehumanize women when they draw them haha, and actually men too...

I’m ok with head to shoulder profiles but horrible at bodies. And I wanted to draw some characters for the story i’m Working on, so I seemed your help. Thx!

[@delaneydunn4526]

What a helpful video! I always get slogged down with fixing details while I'm first drawing, and focusing on speed has helped me a lot. To answer your question, the reason I want to be able to draw a person (or multiple people) is because I have an idea for a webcomic and while I'm fairly confident in my writing skills, my drawing is absolutely abysmal.

[@tinaabdul-rahim1673]

Helps a lot thanks

[@lc4979q]

this is amazing to do your art homework with.

[@DMG5146]

thx for this vid, it helped me improve in art by ALOT

[@SeraphEmpath]

I love to draw but I also enjoy writing and I wanted to learn to draw a person so I can work on a cover to go with the book in writing. And this video really helped me, so thank you.

[@philiphartshorn]

+YinAngel15 I'm so happy I could help you out! I really appreciate the comment!

[@rtchow3000]

i am trying to draw two people baptizing, half submerged in water standing apart at closed arm's length. my problem is the body proportion to each segment from the neck on down. i know each individual doesn't have the same body proportion due to their birth. i saw you used circle larger than the head. my drawing on legs and arm's length also not in proportion looks awkward. you drew fast but missed some hint on those two areas i mention. other than that it gave me some idea. thanks. bob

[@peopledrawing648]

Thank you for the great tutorial!!

[@elaynelennox5791]

This was honestly *The Best* tutorial. It just clicked so well for me. My proportions have never looked better and I'm impatient af so the speed drawing technique was bomb!! I'm looking to go into special effects makeup for film so I need to be able to nail humanoid figures to turn them into concept art for zombies, monsters, and aliens.

[@philiphartshorn]

+Elayne Lennox thank you so much Elayne, and that is such an awesome goal! I'm honored it helped and I've got many more tutorials on the way to help you be the best special effects makeup artist out there haha well at least from a drawing perspective! Welcome to the channel!

[@cavemansam9608]

You said the key is speed. But as a beginner should I focus on more the fundamentals rather then the speed? Also im alot better at more of straight on view but I have a hard time with profile or angled views. Any suggestions or tips on how to try and correct this? I keep practicing but I feel like I'm not seeing something or my fundamentals are lacking. Thanks for the video man great stuff!

[@currentheck2864]

I know this was made along time ago, but thanks! The first sketch you did was exactly what I was looking for!

[@dynamicdarkwolf8590]

appreciate the help,I tried over multiple times to do the body and this made it a lot easier.

[@ayushdas3094]

Thank you this has helped improve my scratches of people

[@A_Jel]

Much appreciated. This was helpful-covered a lot in brief time. Why draw people? I’m reworking three assignments, each with people, and now I see the feet and hands were way off. Practicing different angles is key! Thanks

[@jesslowe5404]

This video help me so much! Thank you!

[@isabellarachelhope3319]

Thank you for your helpful tips, I came here today so I can draw a character for a dnd campaign :)

[@albooksnmore]

thank u so much for this it really helped!!

[@jeannieatkins6357]

Hello there. I have just begun a visual diary and loving it. My drawing of people is like a person with a sheet over their body lol. I love to paint but I think its time I learnt to draw properly. You are very fast which is hard for absolute beginner like me but I love what you are teaching and I rewind constantly for now. Thanks and love your humour.

[@courtneymckeown4017]

This is perfect for an art project im working on ;; Thank you so much for actually making an understandable tutorial! It took me so long to find one but now I'm here :D

[@philiphartshorn]

You’re welcome! So glad to help you guys out!

[@michaelrichardson7263]

I haven't drawn for many years, and I want to get back into it! Great tutoriel.

[@debbie9964]

I loved the way that you demonstrated that. Would you consider doing one or two more videos with more detail and instructions. The reason that I'm interested in you doing more people is because you showed it to me in a way that I think I may actually be able to master the human body. thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@getgoodgetserious7699]

Thank you my friend It worked!

[@nupurvartak2862]

[@SweetKleis1119]

Hi! I am an avid reader and with the movie industry casting ALL the wrong folks for characters in my beloved books I decided to start drawing so that my mental image of a character remains pure even after seeing the movie. Thanks for your help. it's crazy how you can see the full end even though your lines start off as simple stick figures. As someone that doesn't know how to draw I'm hoping practice makes perfect and it's something learnable.
