[@doctortaco6354]

hello, even though you do not have many views I hope u understand that your work n videos are greatly appreciated. You are a great teacher and very knowledgeable.

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you for the kind words :) I appreciate it and im glad i could help.

[@SC-yj7fc]

a million thanks, man. Reilly's abstraction are as difficult to find as they are helpful. Your channel is a goldmine.

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you :) yes its so hard to find every bit about his method, i needed 4-5 sources to get enough info to piece together a method. hope it worked :)

[@marikotambini1207]

I studied the Reilly Method with Thomas Fogarty Jr. at the Art Students League around 1986. He was an expert at it, and I learned a great deal from him. I believe his father was Thomas Fogarty, who was also an instructor at the Art Students League. In the early years of the 20th century. He and his colleague, George Brandt Bridgman, were popular and influential instructors at the Art Students' League in New York City. Norman Rockwell was one of Fogarty's pupils. I think that Mr. Thomas of Fogarty Jr. might be a great source of knowledge on the Reilly Method.

Just want to tell you that you did a fabulous job of constructing this video. The format is exactly what’s needed and each section is well done and placed correctly. And I think it’s comprehensive. Many thanks because I don’t think there’s anything like this. Anywhere.

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you, I'm really glad to hear it :)

[@cecilymorris6525]

I recently stumbled into art and wanted to try the Reilly method, but have found very few sources to learn from - and the ones I did find offered a page or about three minutes worth of explanation. This video was super helpful and something I will come back to!! Thank you for this amazing resource!

[@SalemShanouha]

Glad I could help :)

[@karlhopf1216]

Dover Art Books will soon be publishing two art instruction books by Jack Faragasso. Jack Faragasso ran the Reilly School after Frank Reilly died.

[@kindabad1383]

this is a blessing i was struggling with figure drawing it was a hit or miss for me i needed a method thanks for the info .

[@PrismCasillica]

Thank you for the video and all of you're work. You're keeping the Reilly method alive.

[@SalemShanouha]

The lack of videos on Reilly's method was concerning.. its a very important and amazingly helpful method. Looking for books or info on this method was like searching for a rare diamond. If it wasnt for one of Reilly's students making notes while Reilly's teaching the class we would have lost this method forever. I wish Mr. Reilly wrote a book about it, but he left us too soon at the age of 61.

[@terranceblakelyart]

bro, thank you so much for these tutorials, seriously

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you, Glad you found it helpful :)

[@systemcm6978]

Very intresting method. I think I'm probably going to practice the Loomis method for a while longer since it's a little more accessible. I think more advanced artists might find it useful, especially when it comes to maping out all the specific landmarks. You also did a great job at explaining it considering you only used notes and drawings from his students as a reference so good job!

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you :) I think Loomis is an easier method then Reilly but Reilly is more organic more in motion, Loomis is more stiff if done with guidelines. Im hoping to do a comparison video of all the methods once im done with them..

[@itdreamsme]

Seriously, fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much putting this together. Like you mentioned, it's hard to find much information about the Reilly method...so this is a godsend! This is a big help to get me started.

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you :) Im glad you found it useful. His method is very important and precious to be lost. Everyone should keep it alive by practicing it and posting it around. We lost Frank Reilly too soon, we should not let his method be lost as well.

[@Thollis1987]

This method is more easier for me to follow! Like this a lot better besides the Andrew Loomis method.

[@SalemShanouha]

Every artist would click with a certain method that fit his or her style.. thats why its good to try all of them and see what fits u the most. Sometimes you can even mix couple of methods together and make ur own style that artists will teach in the future :)

[@FunnyxFroggies]

Really great class! You broke down this method in a way that was easy to digest. I’m been looking for something to help me break down figure drawing and I feel like this is it 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this explanation! I use the reilly method for the head a while now and want to step up to improving whole body artworks. Will definitely try this one! 🙏🏼

[@Schizoid137]

Excellent video. The use of rhythm lines in this method had me thinking of gesture drawing.

[@SalemShanouha]

something like this :) 1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXjxCzN0BqQ/TLdQ5iBxGtI/AAAAAAAABVQ/opwhZs-uS8E/s1600/abstraction.jpg

firstly, i want to say THANK YOU!! your full on tutorials are of great inspiration and help. unlike many out there right now who just do a quick demo or time lapse without explanation and then tell you to buy the full video in gum road. you have kept the original purpose of posting in youtube. which was to help and share with others. thank you once again. i would also like to ask. do you have a video that shows the frank reilly method on how to draw the head front view, side view. very similar to how you did with the "

This is excellent. Thank you

[@PoPo-id4my]

Thank you so SO MUCH!

[@SabrielBlack]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had an intro figure class, where this was taught, but the instructors never explained where, or what this method was even called! They only did quick demos once, for each body angle, and we were somehow expected to memorize it immediately, just from taking quick notes. I felt so lost, to say the least lol.

[@SalemShanouha]

I'm not sure anyone is able to memorize a method from one demonstration.. I know I cant lol. At least a printed version of the method would help along with the demonstration.

[@SabrielBlack]

Man, look for the ''Mastering Drawing the Human Figure From Life, Memory, Imagination. By Jack Faragasso. His instructor at The Art Students League of New York. Jack studied with and worked under Reilly for many years, is the foremost authority on the Reilly system of drawing and painting. As a thoughtful and knowledgeable teacher, the author has carefully researched and practiced every phase of the subject. He spent much time in the great museums of Europe and America studying the works of the Old Masters. The author uses many of the drawing and painting principles of the Reilly system, and over the years, he has elaborated upon these principles, and added to them.

[@sharllingjheff]

For me this is the most complete book ever, I'm studying hard with him.

[@SalemShanouha]

I was trying to choose between this book and the one i got by another student of Reilly "values for pictures worth a thousand words by apollo dorian" and i ended up with the second book. I read some bad review on the first book on amazon and i was discouraged to get the book. Its sad that Reilly himself didnt leave a book behind and all we have is the books by his students.

[@sharllingjheff]

The Apollo Dorian books is PDF? Can you send for e-mail please ''[e-mail]''? If it is pdf and in case you can send to me! If you cant, its ok man! I researched it and loved knowing about it. I'd love to take a closer look, because it seems to be the most complete, right? There is very little information about it, this is sad indeed!

[@hektor6766]

@@SalemShanouha I'd say ignore that review. I've looked through the book and it's a very well developed exposition of the Reilly method; in fact, a few reviews saw it as too complicated. But that's only due to the extent the author delves into the method. Female hips are not too full, as one review I saw claimed, but well-proportioned or perhaps even a little slim on the proportional diagram, and it has enough illustration of action poses to grasp the ideas. It's a very worthwhile text.

[@Thollis1987]

Oh I'm purchasing that book!

[@cole2953]

I just don't understand how to practice the loomis so I'll try this one, hopefully this method is compatible with my brain 😂😭

[@SalemShanouha]

Try them all.. you dont have to stick to just one. If this didnt work out go with the peanut method, its even easier. Eventually you will feel that one of them fits your style the best, or maybe even mashing 2 of them together and creating your own method :)

[@cole2953]

@@SalemShanouha thanks for tip man :))

[@Enju-hs5df]

Whats the range of poses can i do with this method? Im interested in trying this out but i want to know is this only limited to front, side and back figures or can i use this method for basically any pose i want? I want to try this pose and use it to draw anime so pose in anime are pretty dynamic.

[@SalemShanouha]

All these methods can be used to draw any pose. It just depends on how comfortable you are with it. My recommendation is to learn all of them, try drawing the same pose using each method and observe which one gave you the best result and without too much headache. Eventually with practice, you will be able to use parts of each methods to create your own method to draw the figure. Which is eventually what you want to do in order to master your own style.

[@Enju-hs5df]

@@SalemShanouha thank you

[@georghasenohrl2311]

Thanks for your video.. Which method would you recommend for a hobby draftsman that works for all poses? For drawing the head I like the the loomis method because it works from any angle. Is there a method which works also for the body for any angle or pose to get an accurate result? I like more a sketchy style than a foto realistic style. Many thanks :-)

[@SalemShanouha]

Have you tried the peanut method? Either that or the 5 methods. But the Peanut method is a bot more dynamic. It does produce realistic images but it also can be used for sketching quick poses. My personal advice is always try all of them.. just to get the feel for each one and see which one fits ur style the most. It doesnt have to be one method you can mesh up multiple methods together and make your own as well..

[@georghasenohrl2311]

Ey man i dunno if ur still online or not, but you really teach me well. I once learn loomis and the other but none of them worked. Only Reilly that work well ,maybe because i learn anatomical first then drawing, but nevertheless your lecture help me a lot thank you very much

hello salem awesome tutorial as usual! i am loving your effort i really do i hope you blow up soon so you can get more support in every platform! i i am honored to be a patreon:) by the way salem i am really struggling with light and shadow i have been studying it for months but i can not get it figured out, its my weakest point, i was wondering since i love your tutorials can you do one on light and shadow it would be awesome if not its okay keep up the great work i have special trouble with the cube figure i think the edges i dont know how to shade them

[@SalemShanouha]

Thank you for being a patreon :) and yes i have a big series planned for light and shadow. Im still thinking of the structure of the series though. There are so many titles that goes under the light and shadow like colors, materials, reflections, types of bodies like basic shapes, mechanical objects, human bodies and so on. Its coming it just need a bit of time to plan it in a good systematic and logical way.

[@anjalishaw637]

Can we use this method for 10 head figure drawing

[@SalemShanouha]

You mean 10 heads tall figures? sure you only need to adjust the proportions accordingly. As long as the rhythm lines stay the same, the scale of the figure can be adjusted however you want

[@sevynsyx2574]

Is it possible to use this method for Sitting, laying down poses too or just a wide variety of poses in general or is this method only good for standing poses? Overall how far can i use this method to draw the body in different angles/views

[@SalemShanouha]

No of course you can use it for any pose you want, it is a method to draw the figure no matter what pose it is in. I actually did few examples here with sitting down figures if you wana check them out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJecm4aMns5jZrM&ab_channel=SalemShanouha

[@sevynsyx2574]

@@SalemShanouha thank you

[@eunlee5416]

Your tutorials are really helpful but i think you missed the point of the Reilly method... For example if you watch the example drawings of this method by tim gula, the whole point is observe your model or reference and do gestures with rythm lines. not necessarily accurate to anatomy since it's gesture first. Then accoeding to the gesture or rythm lines you structure and draw detailed anatomy. What i mean is that the point is design the figure with gesture using (beautiful) rythm lines of your choice. But actually seeing this rythm lines are HARD since it can vary depending on the pose, gender and body type

just draw instead of trying to decrypt a method you know nothing about. You read from wikipedia. it is sad. Also, if you read further, you'd know that Bridgman was teaching anatomy, not a method to draw a figure.
