My teachers would always tell me to either just reposition something("You'll learn that next year/in college/etc..."...which I never did), or to just try something else. It was infuriating. And at 27 years old, with YEARS of experience, FINALLY I have my answers!!!! Seriously, why can't art teachers be like you...?

The technique he's explaining, in coils, is actually called a "mesh". Meshes are 3D objects on a 2D surface that have the basic 3D wire-frame or skeleton of the object and yes, they help a LOT.

[@partymetroid]

Involvement with 3D modeling software also helps one to grasp the concept of foreshortening even with objects very close to the "camera".

[@genorpg20]

I'm going to be honest, this entire video legit blew my mind. the technique sounds super interesting, but I was actually left gawking at the part where you just drew a gridnplane under the figure xD

[@GarbledReverie]

That's really interesting. It's almost like there's a kind of "conservation of mass" happening where if a hand gets bigger the rest of the arm has to get smaller. This is exactly the sort of stuff I wish I'd had in my drawing classes. "Just practice" is of course essential, but it doesn't give guidance like this.

[@belicto7743]

I think the reason this is so helpful is because the coiling creates almost perfect cross-contour lines that make the figure look much more convincing and thus easier for the mind to rotate as a 3d object instead of 2d.

And never really explain HOW. They never explain how to think or what to watch out for so you don't absorb anything. This, however, was flipping amazing and I can't wait to try it! I've always felt like I've sucked at foreshortening and as a result I've fallen into the habit of drawing mundane poses so I wouldn't have to worry about it, because all I ever was otherwise was frustrated. This video just rocks. Bless you :3 Subscribed.

I think the reason why coiling is easier than just drawing the line you see is, that you don't only draw the final outline that you see, but also the whole way until then. This makes it way easier to stay consistent with the size and imagine the line you needed at the end.

I am an artist in the game industry and this is a technique we use all the time - flip it horizontally often, can't stress how important it is to keep flipping the image as you work on it. I am sure Sycra has likely covered this before, but flipping an image (within photoshop or by using a mirror) lets you see everything wrong with your work.
