How to Draw Fighting Scenes: Punch with Impact

[@koizu]

I think this is where I get the eraser technique from--- when you draw rough drawings in Photoshop, it's common to turn the opacity of the rough layer down to like 20% (creating a ghost image) then you make another layer on top of it and add your black line. So the technique with the kneaded eraser does the same thing.

[@koizu]

definitely. In high school, I only drew characters front view and ALL of my characters looked like that Da Vinci drawing of the guy with arms and legs out. It wasn't until college that I started to learn perspective in drawing. I could have learned earlier but there was no one to teach me.

[@Cl0wn_0f_th3_d3ad]

About two weeks ago. I wanted to try to draw a manga warrior so I got on KZbin for some tutorials. I've been watching your videos ever since. I wish I could show you my progress.

[@worsethanteenagepoetry1348]

i really like your way of teaching so like. make more videos. i will watch every single one.

[@koizu]

he was conflicted about punching himself :P

[@Sanjit_LV_The_Great]

🤣😂

[@koizu]

I'm still working on it :) trying to get the story nailed down. Hope to do some updates on it and show you guys the progress.

[@HughJainus69]

That beat was awesome, I had to restrain myself from dropping a freestyle while watching.

[@koizu]

it's really smooth

[@TonyKnight1208]

WOW!! Ur amazing! Who taught u how to draw like this. wow man this is great. I need to learn how to draw like this.

[@KrazyGamerTiger]

Had to retry cause i'm a beginner. I suck so bad but I won't give up.

[@supernovaedits14]

Black Venom same here

[@conosthegoat]

Me too lads

[@kingsize6612]

@Kevdawg Sutton III% Pro Gun-Rights Activist did you get better

[@bayliecribb.]

Goddaci, shoot, I will

[@jackieharrington9551]

That's the spirit

[@koizu]

that's exactly where I bought some of my pens from (and ink too)

[@dyrrick]

Exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it!!

[@LEGOJTguy1227]

your sketching and then drawing over the marks helped me ALOT and when i say alot i mean ALOT so i thank you for that. thank you

[@koizu]

for me, I thought it would be easier to see the ink if I erased most of the pencil. If I were doing this for a manga, I might consider doing the rough in blue or colored pencil. Then I wouldn't erase that. I would just draw on top of the blue and like you did, erase afterwards. I'm still trying to find out what works best. I guess everyone has their own method :)

[@12188185s]

Great video, you're one of the few people on youtube I've seen using a G-pen, and you definitely are the most skilled of any I've seen so far.

[@PennPensiveProd]

Some motion lines would have really brought this to life but your drawing process is inspiring

[@MrPupps903]

This is great work. It helps me get back to my drawings. keep it up. And I'm looking forward seeing more :-) thank you

[@Riker995]

Really great work man! Its awesome seeing you draw characters or something like that. Watching is make this drawing stuff so simply but its very hard to execute, for me its most times the proportions which i cant create correctly. But really great job man, more of this pls :)

[@f0REVERBESTIES]

This is hard

[@tejvirrox]

u explain things amaizingly ya know dat and plus your style of drawing is quite simple and grt

[@MaximumKreations]

Man U go and make a story you are such a great drawer

[@joshuastroud.7deadlysins941]

MaximumKreations that's what I do with my art

[@baselodr44]

I love your ghosting technique. It works r Really well for me.

[@ayolasiko9397]

Thank you so much bra I've been wanting to learn to draw fight scenes without Dragon Ball style thank you so much

[@sledgetable172]

why not learn fight scenes in jojo style

[@JerelyBrowne]

very cool. im loving them beats for real too

[@koizu]

oh, for this one I used Deleter A4 paper

[@Malaysianiboss123]

I had a competition with my friend, and this helped me so much 👍

[@shadowspadez313]

glad to see you back man another great video!!

[@MrThewookieman]

that...pen....is beautiful.....and nice video, also enjoyed the music

[@CloudzQueued]

Thanks for the assist! Now I know how to draw fighting scenes😌

[@minavasic8742]

You are awesome man I love you.

[@Imyab01]

This gives new meaning to the phrase "Beating yourself up".

[@koizu]

I've actually been sick for a little while but feeling much better now :)

[@TigerAlif]

You and Mark Crilley are my heros. Crilley's videos are clear and helpful, but I don't think I'm looking for quite his drawing style. His is more in-depth and harder than some drawing videos, such as yours. Yours are VERY simple, but it comes out looking great! THAT'S the way I want to draw. ;)

[@ArabKatib]

I like your style! Greetings from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. P.S: I don't have the guts to erase ANY pencil originals.. wither to to ink or not! I make photocopies and other tricks. A light box is useful too.

[@TheRedFoxMcCloud]

wow this is awesome im learning something new from this guy

[@bright2639]

thank you man nice drawing and ahh it did help

[@jackidiots54]

Thanks koizu. It help me a bit

[@emmalarkin7589]

Road to something I love how your profile pick reflects you comment 😂

[@rockymontana1]

I really like that yellow pen! Maybe you can tell me what it is and where it came from?Ohh excellent drawing, and gOOd teaching again..This is the 3rd video of yours I watched and you still amaze me with your teaching.If your not making money working for someone ,you need to work for yourself teaching art.Your very gOOd.

[@skrolikowski]

That's a really interesting technique (light sketch then erase). Makes sense. My drawings always end up messy due to my thick lines, trying to get the contours correct.

[@NicoTown]

Once again, thank you for making videos.

[@scottfarnan187]

I like your chanel man short and simple👍

[@EnigmaKage]

Awesome video Mike, I will definitely be using that erase method..You made it look so easy!! I'm about to follow you on Twitter. Do you tweet often?

[@BlackAmimationStudios]

Yo I just started watching these videos enigma kage....also love your videos

[@SourCrumpets]

Brings a new meaning to Stop Hitting Yourself!

[@killyah4fun]

Koizu, I really love all your videos. You're a great teacher. You also give alot of good tips en information. Keep up the good work!

[@nedsrandom]

man that's beast

[@duelblader500]

yo, I see it now, this would make a epic youtube anime series! it's alot of work but its worth it!

[@miksaa9905]

Thank you, it helped me a lot. Also good drawing.

[@ItsMeRuffles]

THANK YOU! I have to do a fight scene drawing for school and this is exactly what I needed!

[@luwiar1]

Your the best at anime tutorials!!!!! I LOVE your drawings man. U R probably busy but, try to make as many videos as u can. WE WANT KOIZU!!!!! ;)

[@just9933]

The inking process is so satisfying can you make a video of inking process with relaxing music?? I hope you read this ive been you your fan for long time ☺☺ and i love you videos

[@kanachiaki]

a tutorial on jeans and folds in general would be fantastic, hope you'll do one in the future XD

[@nobarhussein9220]

This helped me so much thanks 😊 😃 😊

[@koizu]

It's 0.5 :)

[@haso323]

I like you. Most manga artist drive me insane with their one-stance drawing..ooof idk they don't draw their characters moving a lot. You do can't wait for your book. :)

[@pixeldev7894]

Thank you so much! I used this for my school homework ^

[@SkarnerLol]

yo koizu have you been in a art school or something?

[@MuffinsBubblez]

David Batista WAT

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

My head canon for this picture is the guy punching is a Target employee who organized a strike and the guy getting punched is his twin brother who crossed the picket line.

[@xxcrds1xx]

Man. I realy like the way who you draw, Certainly I'll read your mangá

[@LJMadrigalMusic]

great video man! it's so amazing! you should create your own manga.... or maybe a classic comic as well... heehe... my problem in drawing a character in motion is that, i don't get the right proportion of the head and body... congrats man!.. keep it up!

[@koizu]

just visited Montreal where they speak French. I'm from US :)

[@LiFeLeSsBoOdOoDoLl]

i loves your style, mon cher!

[@Toniwing]

Awesome! gotta watch this once i get home! stupid work is interfering with my hobbies. :D

[@Pein474]

Ahh.. You make it look so easy! Nice lines and stuff...When i try to draw it looks like I've smashed my forehead on a potato.

[@Shininku]

Dear Koizu, can you do a how to draw sweat video sometime in the future? Like not chibi-styled sweat, but like, if someone just got finished fighting/ working out, etc.

[@koizu]

@Luis Marin You can buy G-pens at jetpens (dot) com. You can even buy ink. I got Pilot ink for drawing.

[@LiFeLeSsBoOdOoDoLl]

wb, mon cher! thanks for the vid! it truly helped me xD i hopes you are feeling better! -Love, Lily!

[@viliandrayabeachvolleyball9053]

Have you ever though of using action lines (like those on manga). I find them to be very effective in many situations. It's enough to even add some small lines on the arm itself and you would feel the action a lot more. Even though it as end sequence some lines could be added. Anyways good perspective and everything though the right arm looks a bit short. It may be your style but I would either make it a bit smaller or move it in a different position.

[@880User088]

btw, you've got a bright future with these videos, keep it up :D

[@alexanderhansen6523]

I really love your videos, they are full of knowledge, so i would ask if you please could draw something fantasy kinda, i will really love to see something like that, and i now you could inspire me to keep on drawing and keep expand my skills.

[@YSManga]

Man that looks nice! Wish I can draw action scene like you. I'm getting there...though. You should've give the guy punching an expression it would've felt "stronger" :)

[@frxyfn7247]

Ur the best help I can need to draw

[@ateezpresent594]

your an epic drawer

[@lindaisabella12]

Thank you so much Koizu for these videos !!!

[@KinggDC]

im 12 and i am trying to draw but i cant get it down like u can and i also like these vids because they acually show you how to draw insteadof just drawing it

[@Shininku]

He has a how to draw proportions for both male and female from back in January. Not sure if that's defined enough or if you need more precise, but hopefully this helps. /watch?v=jkTcIUmz7uc&feature=relmfu (Female) /watch?v=liOwj5A2Fcg&list=UU0WfxkE12_UFucF6NU28A9A&index=18&feature=plcp (Male)

[@phichau90]

U should make ur own manga (I think that what's called) ur artwork and how u draw them is stunning

[@StarTreksFollower98]

You my friend, are the NEXT Mark Crilley

[@MoBallin]

Lol i rewatched thsi guys vids i remember back in the day i was sucky af now im just average, i came back here to see his punch blows are same as mine btw quick tip, the way i learned how to make Punches look powerful is because i inspecked Hirohiko arakis stand style punching or drawing of Star platinum also Crazy diamond i guess and also this vid thats how i learnt how to, do powerful blows its pretty easy tho ngl

[@GonzPaoli]

This is awesome man. Thank you!

[@chinyereamuka6715]

You act as if everyone can follow your pace and draw as you draw

[@MidgieWoogle]

U know what i would like to see? Can u do some tutorials on different vehicles cause I'm having problems with drawing vehicles. Thanks;)

[@danielrobinson984]

that's cool

[@Jh-bx7vo]

that's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time, its amazing how skilled some people are, I guess we each have our own skillset, that's really cool. Do you draw logos for hire? I need a logo drawn for my brand.

[@attachiify487]

That's soooooo good nice job

[@champion3433]

My god I'm glad you said that, im in 8th grade and I draw all my characters from a front view.

[@shadowface3771]

Thank you for this video it was really helpful

[@tysonthegamer6136]

THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! I JUST FINISHED IT AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

[@MattDeanART]

Great job with the G pen!!!

[@anthos332]

hey i really love your art and was wondering if you could recommend some good collages for art that would help a manga artist in their career im still in highschool but i wanted to have an idea of some places that a great artist like yourself would recommend. i would appreciate it if you would reply and thank you for all of your videos :)

[@Partypgk]

GOD, THAT WAS SO COOL :D

[@lucasvincent662]

Do you draw the same boy in your videos?

[@ivy_carlos9597]

no

[@gitoalcantara9359]

I think he does

[@dankymemegecko2009]

The guy gettting punched’ smart style remind me of The Amulet series by kizu kibushi

[@whiteligra]

you make wonderful tutorials I love the action in them and the fact that you used two people and made them proportionate to each other and the step by step is very useful. I'm sure its a grate place to start- I use your videos for refreshers and inspiration. I was wondering what tip or head did you use for the inking in this video it seems to work in more directions than the ones I have.

[@drewdown2091]

Man your charecters are so dope

[@DenzelAJackson]

nice work, keep it up. what kind of set up do you have for recording your paper?

[@artjoe112899]

Dude this is awesome

[@ruiisuorozco5458]

thanks so much I'm having trouble with the manga I'm making :0

[@champion3433]

Thank you for saying that. I have trouble with perspectives and a lot of other thing for that matter so I thought I was falling behind.

[@lesorcistanera1662]

Fantastic. Thank you for this video,it helps me very much.

[@itsginn]

the technique with the eraser is awesome i use it for my drawing vidoes coz i can't draw very well when recording

[@chinyereamuka6715]

I can't draw it because you didn't show the guidelines
