How to Draw Form: Basics for Drawing Characters in 3D

[@koizu]

Thanks everyone, sorry for the late upload :) This week, I'm going to practice drawing simple forms, trying different ones and get warmed up! I'll post them on Instagram. If you feel like doing the same, join in!

[@dingosan702]

I dont understand

[@saturn2377]

@@00smash69 its hard for some people to draw circles

[@isaacngjunhan2180]

Thx for making a part series instead of a 30 mins vid cuz this rly saves my time a lot and its more easier understand by explaining one by one instead of giving the whole. Hope I can learn a lot from ur tutorials

[@foalingirlorfoal222]

Anatomy is literally the only thing I cannot master. Everything I've tried doesn't help. I'm really hoping this will get me somewhere

[@koizu]

With the next set of videos, I really want to make anatomy a little easier to learn and not so intimidating-- so hopefully I can share some tips that'll help. Will give it my best shot! :)

alien think is a good course on steam, for the human figure.

[@hanako-kun5966]

[@oshaqsha9826]

Not grinding up smarties and sucking them into your nose through the wrapper? Bruh

[@blackblack1167]

"If the Earth was a cube." No, no, no. There is no *IF.* Earth is a cube.

Yeah wtf this dude never played Galacticraft

[@oshaqsha9826]

Imagine not knowing that earth is really just an inside out doughnut shape

[@carnage8958]

[@courtneyprince5130]

Yall are so stupid everyone knows the earth is a triangular prism that is why we are all illuminati

[@courtneyprince5130]

Duh-

[@olubunmiolumuyiwa]

Wow, I remember when I was 9 or 10 and used to watch your videos a long time ago. Now I'm 15 and looking forward to seeing more videos :)

[@Zhinoi]

You coming back has rekindled my passion for drawing. Thank you very much friend

[@JeffyProduction]

I'm so glad your back to KZbin bro. I remember watching you as a kid and learning so much. I've learned a lot from you and I'm excited for the future

[@caraadler7051]

Its awesome to see your videos again! When I started watching ur vids 4 years ago in high school it helped me to grow and learn as an artist. Now that I am in Art School, its always nice to come back and have practice on forms and shapes. Thank you for returning and making time in ur life to make these videos we all appreciate you!

[@cookiepvp6200]

Welcome back you really inspired me to do some fight scenes animations and u have th best drawing channel ever keep doing utube please!!

[@an_ordinary_goose]

Welcome back! 😀 - I've been having serious creative block the last month and I'm super stressed about it since I need to have digital drawings as part of a portfolio for a creative arts course. I'm absolutely rubbish with using my drawing tablet to the extent it's almost paralyzing so these look like a great warmup exercise to get back into it!

[@koizu]

Thanks Meta4z! Have fun with it! Ursula K. Le Guin is a famous american novelist who wrote the Tales of Earthsea series. In her book about writing, she talked about getting warmed up by writing free form, listening to how words sound and having a playful spirit about it. I always remember what she said when I'm trying to get unstuck-- not thinking of any pressure, just enjoying making lines, shapes, and forms-- feeling the joy in it. I'm sure you will find your stride!

[@tofu1888]

its been a while, your videos thought me a lot, in a few years my art went from a 4 to a .....8, maybe 7.5 ish.. babysteps

[@drawologyy]

I found your channel three days ago and I love it!!! I’ve been doing a 30 day drawing challenge for the human figure since I want to study animation. This was very helpful, hope to see more videos soon! (Btw I watched your Character Design video and tried it! Tons of fun with watercolor, which I never do 😄)

[@beingWantable]

Still here after years, Im happy you're back. You're really good at making things easier! ^^

[@ramirocruz1521]

Hello koizu. Man, I watched you when I was 12 or 13. Now I am almost 17. Cant believe you are back. Keep it up.

[@motyfokol5392]

[@OmenHill]

[@alphawookiee2006]

"Some one wearing a long sleeve t-shirt with a map on it." NO YOU MEAN LIKE SPIDERMAN. TAKE IT BACK, KOIZU. TAKE IT BACK. But legit, it's really great to have you back. Just going back to the basics got me excited for your content again :O

[@benck4519]

OMG I am so glad that you're back on KZbin!

[@eternia-reginleif]

this step is simple yet so important for people who trying to improve their prespective drawing.

[@arseni4472]

He just described how the 3D drawing works in 6 minute video. In school they would take whole semester just to explain it. Bravo 👌

[@Xsilver455]

Welcome back koizu. Your drawing tutorials helped me back in middle school when I was really invested in drawing and it still helps me even today in high school. Glad you're back and here to help others become better artists

[@ghos7124]

it looked so simple and kinda boring at start but then he put all the pieces together and made it worth it

[@V.U.4six]

Ghost Blade not everything is fun in drawing XD

[@calvincham2918]

who else is so grateful that he is back?

[@MidoriDad]

Definitely love in depth vids like this

[@luigiluis3d482]

Wow! I can't believe you're back, I'm exited about this!!! You feel really natural when drawing, I hope I can learn something from you

[@littlemayo7136]

I'm sorry I'm late for your long time awaited arrival but my 2018 sucked I've known you since 2016 which was a good year until it ended in 2017 was terrible you really helped me learn how to do hands and I still watch some of your old videos especially that one where you draw that cool dragon slayer

[@paranoidfurry58]

In all honesty, I'm a new subscriber and I'm SO glad I found your channel! I have a hard time drawing things correctly and your vids are so helpful! Hopefully when I improve more, I can draw some of the scenes from the stories I write.

[@novastorm9328]

Dude I'm new here, watched your videos on body proportions about a 2 years ago. I decided I wanted to get back into teaching myself to draw and finally found your channel again (yours is my favourite) and am so keen to see that your making more videos! Looking forward to keeping up with the new videos your doing!

[@user-xh5mu9sg4k]

I just found your channel... and it really is helpful in many ways. The way you spoke and explained things in a very simple way yet with depth... very insightful. I can't believe myself when i started grabbing my art tools to follow your order here... i found it fun. Well, I know things would get harder as the time I move forward, honing my skills. But seriously, thank you. It feels like I found light in my darkness.

[@koizu]

Hi Integra, thank you for sharing that. Really glad to hear that the video has been helpful and simple to understand. Have fun as you continue your art journey!

[@Kentumatsu_skk]

I'm really glad to see you back!

[@ZettPolesworth]

Yeah! Koizu is back! Missed you so much dude.

[@hyrusinirku6062]

this has helped me alot to transition from not being able to draw lots of things with more complex sketches, thankyou koizu

[@TheSqueakerNerd]

This is great! I'm in the middle of a character project right now but at times I do have a hard time with getting my mind in tune with how an object is supposed to connect or look like. This will be a great start for me!

[@donnyteeth]

I'm sooo glad ur back!!!

[@CoronaWolle]

Great video koizo, nice to see you putting basic concepts to work. This will be a great series!

[@liamgleason3416]

This would be a great video to show to beginner 3d artists as well to demonstrate principles of modelling

[@ChairWithScoliosis]

Welcome back koizu!!! Great video!

[@frylockjacques4899]

This the tutorial I needed will be following this series!

[@Bells32998]

This was really simple to follow! Hopefully through the use of these guides I’ll be able to draw my own characters from scratch in the future

[@xiao9250]

Your boys back

[@warker6186]

well u helped alot am never using this kind of line before

[@aymenkta]

Yaaaay ur back!

[@woeguh2645]

Are the perspective lines/coloring and shading the only way to give the form more dimension?

[@koizu]

Hi Bendy, those are the usual ways to get more dimension. I'm trying to think of if there's any other simple ways. You can draw with just using lines (for example, with clothing) and the way you draw them can show dimension.

[@Rose-ye6cj]

Bro i missed you sooooo much

[@suprememagnetic4850]

Awesome video, thank you so much

[@unsort2451]

Wait for next video 🔥

[@Tech-bagmash24]

[@Punkrocket8]

I heard about this all the time but is adding shading make the image not look flat because isn't it a pain to have to draw lines on every part of the body

[@zeedart2382]

KOIZU welcome back omg it's been soooo long where have u been

[@malahamavet]

I can't wait!
