LIVE Todd Tips: Twisting the Body.

[@grownmangamer942]

Whats crazy is he makes some of the most difficult drawing techniques look like its nothing. Perspective, dynamic poses and that webbing. Todd is such an OG

[@prismstar438]

From watching Matt's video documentary on McFarlane, he practiced A LOT in art, even before he got a job in Marvel/DC, and even when he got in, he still took those chances to keep improving his art.

[@bournedevinesupreme]

​@@prismstar438Correct. This comes from an ungodly amount of hours worth of practice. Still crazy that he didn't have any formal training though.

[@cerethpainting6606]

As a 42 year old man who grew up collecting comics and dreaming of drawing comics, thank you for literally years of enjoyment. You are Spider-Man.

[@jozefserf2024]

Different artists, different styles. 100% dynamic.

[@BlueEyesWhiteCinnamonRoll]

Todd’s art style: let’s slap this here and figure out how it connects later. I fw that

[@bleepboop]

I swear to god, even his scetches looks more alive than anything i've ever put down on paper!

[@macorte1972]

Gard Guldhav I know. Been drawing all my life and can't compare to the King!

[@cginclude]

If you think you can, you can ;)

[@russiangravy3870]

El Diablo Blanco Elvis draws?

[@jakkdlaw]

I know the feeling.

[@Blinksalott]

His Stick men are masterpieces compared to anything I drew 😭

[@ledbowman]

the way he talks about it is so practical and accessible

[@BOUTTAMAKEAHNAME4MYSELF]

Anyone else getting these gems years later in their feed ?

[@dpcquak]

I love these. Todd is a great teacher. But can someone tell the camera man to film horizontaly?

[@omarzayas95]

Douglas Cardoso agreed

[@wasiahmed9891]

this was originally posted for facebook. hence it was recorded vertically but yeah. it is bummer watching it like this.

[@kunai8566]

Don’t blame camera man?

[@StreamerGuy_]

Todd is good teacher, and so is davod finch :D

[@AkaiKnight]

wow this actually really clicked with me on how to draw dynamic poses. He broke it down so simply.

[@FAYMprod]

Jim Lee has a vid that's helpful for dynamic poses too. The key concept is to shift and turn the pelvis away from the torso

[@fluffycarrot42]

@@FAYMprod I remember that video, it was a turning point in my early drawings. So far back I had very little knowledge of figure or anatomy. Just trying to get a pose to not look stiff. It was revolutionary at the time, still struggle with dynamic poses though. Perspective is so hard to learn. Hoping to get some good progress this year, but everything is so slow...

[@kobrakiller726]

I would love to see Todd McFarlane to make his own cameos like Stan Lee!

[@zaidahmad2018]

Good Idea. 😎👍💜💚❤💛💙

[@elamodelmerol]

he appears for a sec in the 90's Spawn Movie

[@abghaneedulla5049]

Making twists and turns to d body adds to d dynamics.. that sounds very interesting. To me and all budding artists, it's an invaluable lesson on d art of foreshortening and perspectives which is what gives life or animation to a static body drawn on a flat surface. This is what gives d visuals it's dramatic effects and comic artist have been employing this technique over generations.. making fans coming back for more and more.

[@haydenneumann641]

As im creating my own comics and preparing to release them, I'm thankful that I've found these videos, theyre very helpful

[@abghaneedulla5049]

Looking forward to more of such lessons from you Todd! It's never boring to see you draw multiple variations of super heroes twisting and turning their bodies esp spidey moving from building to building wth d aid of his web or while engaging in combat wth his enemies. Wth d mastery of foreshortening techniques and perspectives which makes d figures come to life, we fans will never have a dull day just watching d figures perform their gymnastic and acrobatic acts virtually jumping out from d printed page! Your fertile imagination and that of Stan's too help fertilise our imagination as well. Your creative innovation to spideys web of shooting it towards d camera gives an added dimension to d dynamics of comic book art! Thanks Todd, kindly churn out more of such exciting and lively artwork which both entertains and teaches your fans.

[@80swickedhorror]

growing up you were my favorite artist, 80s & 90 kid here!!! Now with the Internet it is a real treat just to get a mini art lesson from you Sr.

[@emgraphicdesigns]

You are truly amazing Todd. I can watch you draw all day long. Thank you so much for these short tutorials. Thank you again Todd.

[@6012reasol]

these live drawing videos are so good, can’t believe ive just found them

[@roysalvador2126]

Hey Todd I appreciate all that you've shared. Wish you continued success and longevity. Great drawing and insight on drawing

[@heinzyketchupy4175]

Todd and Jim are awesome artists

[@LoDGuitarist1]

I’ve really been enjoying these videos. Very helpful

[@Devilsblood]

There was a reason why he was so valuable to Marvel in the past. I hear the issues of spider-man that he worked on are still the fan favorites.

[@dougtaylor420]

IMHO, he was the best at updating Spider Man.

[@azndoodle1]

Thank you Todd! Your direction and describing your steps as you go is really amazing. So much better than many of my instructors here!

[@Harvey2k]

This video jus made ma Spider-Man artwork so much more better because I didn’t know how to draw proper poses now I can draw him in so many different poses McFarlane inspired a lot man

[@haritzruiz653]

No one can draw Spider-Man as BEST as this man bro

[@TheMeanArena]

I really would like to see Todd do another issue of Spider-Man with his style and talent he has today that he puts into Spawn. Would definitely be awesome!

[@danielmilliken8903]

Your dream came true. Now looking back at this lol

[@supersonico9364]

Sound effects are particularly important otherwise it won’t look as dynamic! 😂

His Spider-Man actually still is my favorite one.

I always loved spiderman man but I was never at the point of drawing human or like animalistic body's with like a different type of shadowing,but this video helped a lot, thank's

[@philliestuntz7214]

I just noticed Todd was left handed. Like they say, lefties tend to bring something different to the table, from artists to even athletes

Great. Thanks a lot Scot

As a artist, I truly enjoy the tutorials of drawing and learning new skills with this digital media for comics, especially from the legend and creator of Spawn, Todd Mcfarlane, may i ask what kind of brush do you use during these tutorials?

[@turdferguson8322]

Hey Todd! Just got a Wacom Cintiq 13hd pro. Been watching your videos like crazy, but I was wondering if maybe you had any about using the device itself? Any shortcuts you may utilize often, or hot keys your may have set? Brush preference? Drawing program you use? Blah blah blah. I know your busy and have spawn coming out, but I’m a huge fan and am finally getting back into drawing to share with my son who is 5 and now loves comics. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 have a great day. Thanks for these.

[@kairus1]
