  • Thank you Karen!

  • thanks, very good. can you suggest a figure drawing text book?

  • thanks for the helpful video...the rude people commenting are morons.

  • Stupid people like to criticise talented people ...

    I bet u just criticism, because u are the idiot.

    Show what u do on canvas because in real life u are here to criticise, idiot!!!

    zz

  • iiiihhhaa

  • I understand. But at the same time I don't.

  • what kind of pencil is he using?

  • ey,whats upwith the rest of the body???

  • thank you for posting this video. It fully demonstrates the way to draw figures. Bravo.

    (not that you need my advice, but ignore these negative criticisms; they sound like blocked artists, and supremely jealous.

  • Are you kidding? Is this *really* how you execute a figure drawing, or are you just trying to draw students to your class by making this look like a far more techincal produre than it is?

    Your end results are of course accomplished, but I have a hard time believing you *really* begin with a skeletal structure and prodeed to painstakingly construct a figure like as though it were a skyskraper.

    No offense, but I'm laugjng my ass off at the thought of prospective students watching this.

  • @ChadSmith1452 - no offense but everything I've said here is profusely dickheaded and directed at you? makes sense.

    here's a hint. if he were just drawing for himself, it wouldn't be on youtube. therefor, it's intended to demonstrate concepts that are easy to understand and follow for a broad audience. derp.

  • @mudprimitive *chuckle* Not everything. I said the results were accomplished. I just don't that's how they wer acheived.

  • this is great, but is all of the guidelines necessary to do a life drawing or is it to just reinforce accuracy of the drawing?

  • @mo389 well its just a guideline. If we actually draw this out, maybe we can better understand why such guidelines are used. But i doubt he even uses such things to aid his drawing. This comes more for practice.

  • Hi, my name is Dandy and I'm specialty in miniature drawings and my question is there any particular job or career that would offer me that? Would Otis college take me in?

  • @skyboo2

    you need to be well rounded in all areas before you can totally master your mini drawings

  • For real, who is drawing like that? all the measurments?

  • @Meppr almost all artists!

  • The people who are saying he can't draw are missing the point. The exercise here is not in making a pretty picture, but in attaining a deeper understanding of the way the forms interact in space and the core of where the movement and structure come from.  Beginning artists learn to draw what they see. The next step is to see what you draw.

  • @MrAlvinDraper you are totally right in what you said there. this is a good video..i found barrington barbers tutorial books a big help when beginning with learning anatomy and proportion. i recently made my first video post on youtube, it's a time lapse life drawing, but and i am half afraid to mention it on any page as i don't want to be spamming, i really just need some opinions from people with mutual interest..pls visit my channel and have a look and comment, i would gladly reciprocate. thx

  • too many lines and measurements confusing

  • If it weren't for the video, I wouldn't understand a dam thing he said. I must learn!!

  • Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.

  • Honestly, This guy does not know how to draw, let alone to draw well.

  • i know right finally someone agrees! haha

  • @wjrmonkey lol i'd like to see you draw better

  • did DeKooning use this method?

  • You ever hearda line economy? Jeeezh!!

  • too much faffing about for my liking, the model would be fucking exhausted before you even get any detail down.

  • Great instructional video, love the structure. Check os out at Sheldon's Art Academy. com

  • I know its not the emphasis on the video but his compisition kinda boring imo.

  • nice work dude! but please please shut off the music! so much great music out there

    changed it!

  • Glenn Vilppu is amazing I started with him as well and Gary knows him as well. I have studied under Gary for 2 years now and he is awesome.

  • There are three videos that work best for this, they are:

    Secret Drawing Technique Revealed: Perfect Proportion Every Time.

    Drawing Secrets Revealed: How To Draw Proportion

    How To Draw The Nose and Features

  • definitely a solid technique, I love when people make this look effortless.

  • i didnt know so mutch goes into drawing i feel overwhelmed

  • @carlwal01 Doesn't have to. This is just how he does it.

  • Gary's the best! he was my teacher when I was a student in the Ryman Program for Young artists. I'm so glad i found this online, i can still learn from his awesome skills!--Gary, if u read this, u rock!

  • It' nice to see some other people teaching art over You Tube. Check out some of my stuff (Sheldon Borenstein) on here or over the internet! You are very talented!

  • this was excellent Thank you so much. Am looking forward to my life drawing session tomorrow now even more. Am doing a fine art degree in UK THANKS

  • frick i didnt get accepted on my first try to otis but now im taking all art classes and gonna re apply for fall 2010 please accept me this time lol

  • Great video - very interesting. Even if you don't use these techniques you can learn quite a bit by seeing them being used.

    Maybe measuring up isn't always necessary but it can give you confidence in your proportions and can really help with foreshortening. Will check out other stuff by the artist.

  • Comment removed

  • technical.. but it's good and helped

  • It looks like a Sanguine Conte' Crayon....

  • with what kind of pencil or whatever is he drawing??

  • it looks like he's using conte pencil

  • That seemed complicated.....

  • you learn to do quite abit of it just by looking after a while. But its good to do it all in the beginning.

  • Well all I can say is wow! you have alot of knowledge on this stuff,but your Gary Geraths my long lost High School Buddy

    I always new you were a smart guy smile

    you haven't changed that much lol...

    Rita from our High School

  • great but jesus shut off that shitty music

  • LOL, I hope he doesn't play that music during the actual drawing workshop sessions.

  • Nude life drawing is the BEST! A real model is the best model, to really see muscle definition and the art form of a human body. 5 Stars. You will only understand this if you had a class.

  • A photograph cannot substitute for a live model when the artist is constructing rather than copying the model.

    There are several visual cues that our eyes use (such as stereoscopic vision) again three dimensional form that are destroyed by photographs.

  • After you've done a fair amount of life drawing you don't need all of that information though and can infer from past study things that aren't clear enough in a photo. It's perfectly possible to construct a figure with the same techniques you'd use from a live model with a photograph

  • @normanplumb Really? So If I took a photo of a box, it wouldn't look like a box? It would look like a square?? lol you're an idiot

  • @iDraw3G well, he is right. SOMEONE "NORMANPLUMB" didn't go to college. Maybe youtube isn't quite what you need, check out a more hands on approach.

  • @iDraw3G

    You're sooo wrong. It would not look like a box from real life -- photographs blow out values no matter what because photographs do not have the same value range they do in real life. And it isn't as easy to memorize a flat picture versus actually seeing it three dimensionally, so studying from life IS better in soo many ways. You can't copy the picture, so you have to translate it. Not that you would know, you're probably a horrible artist.

  • @iDraw3G No, clearly you have never even done life drawing. Drawing from a photo flattens the figure. You can't slightly shift and get a better idea of the dimension of the figure.

  • A photograph is only an illusion of what is present in the three dimensional world. Therefore, you cannot accurately draw a photograph to get the same effect of three dimensions because a drawing is also a two dimensional representation. It would be like tracing something and then tracing the second copy again. You would not get as quality results. Also, when an artist is drawing he does not stand in the same place the whole time. It is necessary to get other views to see it from all sides.

  • Ya know, Boris Vallejo has said that when it comes to photographs, which he uses all the thime as he is short sighted, one cannot ever say that the old masters would never have used a photograph. Concept artists and illustrators use photos alot as they are under tight deadlines and need to use photos to draw certain things.

    This method is alot more complicated compared to other techniques. I have seen better which don't nearly complicate the figure half as much as this.

  • @Adkit2 Sorry, I don't follow the logic. Because photographs exist, drawing things from real life is "stupid"? So it's stupid if I go to the beach and paint the landscape, but it's smart if I take a photo, bring it home, and draw from the photo?

  • a photograph would never have the same quality as looking at the object in real life. Photographs dont capture the different colors an object has in real life. A photograph is technically just flat :( 

  • it's gonna take him a long time to get rid of those construction lines

  • People that draw like that are really gifted and talented. As they can draw anything and everyting, that they set their minds too.

  • høw cøme everyøne is all stuck on drawing human bødies? i think it's much møre interesting to study letters or cheeze its.

  • im intrigued, plz upload some.

  • This is a great video, but way over my head, unfortunately. There's so much information in here, but he (you?) speaks really clearly the whole way through, and the voice-over is really well sync'd up with the visuals. Great job.

  • its just a life drawing, very simple.Hope that we go far from basic prespective which can be very cold and lacking inspiration. , yes your vedio is important ,but please show the true beauty of life to your students,- that is flesh ,spirit that makes us human and brings a true meaning to art.

  • I bet they call him Gary Giraffes at Otis.

  • I mean, I'm nobody and I'm just 24. I've been inside art 'cause art have search me and not the opposite, so... Boh?

    Maybe my pencil is not so fast or good but making drawing classes, for what I see this guy is not so bad.

    I don't understand why you guys are givin each other like, of course is always better let the work speaks than the mouth... something I've learned from martial arts. But I wish to see your works, of all of you.

    Bye!

    kim

    ps: sorry 4 my english, I'm italian so.. :)

  • This is so awesome ... Thanks so much . Glen Vilppu is another great teacher ... Cheers ....

  • That musta taken years to learn @_@

  • WOW why does everything have to be so comlicated and made into some scientific shit!!!!! its just drawing!!!!! god sake

  • thats amazing !didnt know there was so much maths in art. the shape of the woman looks more 4d !!

  • It is really cool. It's a good method for people to use. Especially when people are just starting out in Life Drawing. When I took Life Drawing I this is one of many methods my professor taught us, but he didn't require us to use it any longer then the week he taught it, measuring by heads and looking for your angles just became natural over time. It's truly amazing how my professor, with the use of one eye could see very minor things that I could not.

  • amen trylonperisphere and anyone else who disagrees with this idiot (who obviously has extreme paranoia that he's the only real person associated with the internet) lmao!

  • Yup, about the size of it. But I guerss your lesser ego cannot handle it that someone can see through your BS, too ficking bad for you.

    Now, have a nice time syble, lol

    Probably too fucking lame to even know what mean I bet LOL

  • I am an artist who is learning, and growing through education and great artists who have more knowledge than I, and are willing to share it. I've never claimed to be anything more or less.

  • This will be my lasy message to you so you will have to seek attention off of someone else, as you have become boring, plus that, I do not talk to liars or males who pose as women.

  • There is no depth. emotion or expression in your work, so to say you couldn't learn something from this man is ridiculous. I take from your work, a fat, middle aged man with a love for nascar and chevy trucks and mildly good computer skills, is that about accurate?

  • See, that proves you cannot read or you would have known, I did them pictures for my long time GF, lol

  • You're completely accurate. That guy is a fucking loser with an overinflated ego. Just let him keep masturbating to himself while the rest of us do something called "learn".

  • Picasso is over-rated, yet you who claims to be one of the best artists in the world, draws chevy emblems, and bad re-creations of the little mermaid. Picasso was an amazing artist and he wasn't over-rated to many many people, I don't have to show you how much better my art is than yours. I don't think I'm better than anyone has an artist. I think all artists are unique and have their own style and there's usually something different to appreciate in everyones work.

  • You do like to put words in people's mouth, huh ? No sweat from a troll who claims that are an artist, yet has jack shit to offer other than childish insults, hence, you are either a child, or have all the emotional instability of one.

  • By calling everyone fake online trolls you only make yourself look suspicious. My art is on my Myspace, but you would have to be a friend to view it, which would never happen. NOW, How about instead of talking down on professors who's videos you clearly come to watch and learn, why don't you take your little mermaid drawing ass to an actual school and learn what creating art is all about.

  • You are a troll, obviously. You make claims you canot or will not back up. YOu resort to personal attacks, as well as come at me with multiple IDs, hence, if it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck....

  • Yeah, I seen the presentation for this Otis school of art, the chick that looks like she has brushed her hair in 20 years, and her spouting what equates to beatnik philosophy. Yeah, I will just jump on the firt plane there, lol

  • As for me reading vampire books, you must be referring to my blog on where I read Twlight on a single plane ride and gave it a fair rating and said I wouldn't be continuing the series anytime soon, I think you can clearly look at my Myspace and see that I am a real person.

  • I am a girl, and I didn't read your lame profile to find out your age, I went off how old you look to me, As for the hair statement that you've taken out of context and failed to see that I was clearly just making a point, , I clarified myself, and will again, there ARE people who try draw every hair in some way that is visible to THEIR EYES. My life drawing professor told our class many times, that he wanted to see every crack, hair and crevice that we could see through using our eyes.

  • You clearly said that all artists use eachother's work as benchmarks for their own, no Michealangelo did not use Da Vinci's work as a benchmark for his own, and just because two artists got competitive many years ago, does not make all art a contest, as you put so bluntly put.

  • Comment removed

  • I believe you are a male posing as a woman, as anyone can slap a pic of a woman on thier profile, but it is time to put up or shut up chelsa, or whoever you may be.

    Either put some of your art up to show me how much better yours is than mine or go slink back under whatever rock you crawled out from under.

  • Comment removed

  • Like you know what a " real man " is, as " real men " do not send messages through females, if in fact you are one, which I highly doubt.

    Oh, for your information, De Vinci & Michealangelo was constantly striving to outdo each other, a fact that is also well known.

    You keep saying you are an artist, but I see none of your art, even on your Myspace page, so could it be that you are nothing but a troll, & a lying troll at that ?

  • Comment removed

  • Not only can you not read, but I see you have trouble with numbers also, as it clearly says I am 50 on my profile, lol

    BTW, Picasso was way over-rated as a artist, as any 5 year old can do that type of work, & have. Some guy entered his 5 year old drawing as a joke into some art contest & she won, with all the critic raving about what depth she possessed.

    Talk about red-faced when they learned she was in preschool, lol

  • Lastly, again, no one can draw every hair on a human, as on the head alone, we are talking about well over 100,000 hairs, sometimes more, so your claim only shows your complete ignorance of artists.

    Even Rembrant, perhaps the greates of them all, never used real details, but rather gave the impression of detail, as did all the greats.

    I suggest you grow up, read up on art, stop reading vampire books, & dressing like a cat, as you are neither, lol

  • sphinx stfu, don't u have anything better to do than be an asshole to people on youtube, grow up and get a life

  • You should talk, considering you are either just another fake ID created by one of the trolls ( who have no life other than to go around slamming everyone ), or are one of the troll, take your pick.

    Most likely, the ame spazes that was commenting on Swiss pilots the other week, but that's alright, I do find you all very entertaining, lol

    Bring it on, I have a good ego :)

  • Your saying your better than any artist you know of, and if your so well versed in Art History, and have such a broad knowledge of the art world, you might as well be saying your the best artist there is. By the way, I'm ending this now, it's obvious that you are ignorant. I am 25 years old and no matter how much I disagreed with you, I did not result to name calling, no matter how distasteful I might have found your photo. Goodbye now.

  • I said I could either match or exceed them, still having trouble with your reading abilities I see, lol

    Fuck off fake roll, begone, poof, lol

  • They hated eachother, but they did not see eachother's work as benchmarks for their own.

  • I don't use fake i.d.s and as for my youtube profile, I feel no need to expand it, I am not a videographer and this is not my forum to show my work. As for "kicking my ass" in art. I will again say, I don't view art as a sport or a contest. If I compete in a show, yes it is technically competition, but the creation of my work comes from me, and only me, not out of any competitive nature or comparisons to other artists. Art is self expression. Pay attention to the word "self".

  • chelseannn6, dont even bother arguing with this idiot sphinxter or whatever...he doesnt know what hes talking about, claiming that he can draw better than gary over here..I had gary as a teacher..and im not gonna lie i didnt really like his class, but i cant argue with the fact that he knows what hes talking about

    Yes, you dont need to go through all these steps to make a drawing, but it sure will make it one darn good picture, especially if you dont have previous life figure drawing experience

  • Yeah, you make sure you are paying attention to what you are telling Chelsa since you and she are one & the same, some little online spaz LOL

  • I'd be more than happy to show you my work, not as a competition or challenge, but from artist to artist, all you have to do is ask in a civilized manner. I've never made claims that I'm the "best artist in the world"....so there's nothing for me to be afriad of ;)

  • Never said I was the best, learn to read why don't you ? Give it a try, or have someone read it to you, lol

  • Your style encompasses none of that for me, so rather than saying that shows you I know "nothing:....it SHOULD show you that you have work to do. When I look at your work, I do not see a skilled photographer, or painter, so if that's something your trying to convey, I definitely did not get it, AND MY POINT WAS....Nowhere in your artwork is their an example of life drawing, Life drawing done with an actual pencil on actual paper, which is what this video is about

  • in your eyes and your eyes only. I happen to think your art is quite terrible, and that's something you must account for before making such grand statements, unless you just enjoy looking like an ass.

  • Easy for you to say chelsea ann, or whatever the hell your real name is considering your profile has absolutely nothing on it save for some fake ID, one of many you most likely have, lol

    I would kick your ass in art any day of the week with my eyes shut & you know it for a fact, lol Fake, troll, lol

  • Like I said, art is competitve for you, and for that I am sorry...Many of my professors would disagree with eveything you're saying, including me not knowing anything about the art world....but you're a lost cause.. To be confident is to say I am a good artist....To be arrogant is to say I am the best artist, that is a narrow minded and pathetic statement to make as an artist, because as an artist you would know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...therefore you are only the best...

  • Listen, you little online troll, again, I ever said I was best, learn to read. I said I could match or beat any artist I know about, or do you have trouble in comprehension ?

    Oh, and for you saying art is not a contest, two of the world's most famus artists, Di Vinci & Michealangelo, they hated each otehr's guts, well known history, lol

    Upi know jack shit about art or it's history.

  • So you could match or beat them in wrestling?

  • Yes people have, and I'm talking about the hair that's visual to the eye. Die hard "life drawers" do strive for perfection and exactness and that means capturing every ounce of the human body perfectly. I didn't see any of your art to prove it, I saw extremely trite "bling" chevrolet emblems, and lots of graphics. That long winded professor is probably ten times the artist you are...and if anyone is full of shit, it is you my friend. Step out of your little box in Ohio, and take a look around.

  • LOL, Now that I'm done with that, let me say that I enjoyed the video and would be honored to take any class at Otis by any professor, considering it is one of the best art schools in our nation!! I hope to teach art one day, far away in a school as worthy and reputable as Otis!

  • When I see work that's great, I say okay..they have an amazing style that they've obviously mastered, and I enjoy the art for what it is. I don't say, I have to beat this person?! That's crazy. If you don't have your own individual style, your not an artist, and if you would abandon your style to compete against someone else's individual style, well again, you're not a real artist.

  • My style encompasses all styles, both drawn, painting, and even photography, & yes, art is very competative so again, you are showing me you know nothing about the art world LOL

  • Let me also say, art doesn't have to be a contest, you can better yourself through education, practice, and through your mentors. To constantly compare yourself to other artists is tiring and frankly quite lame. I would never look at another artist and see their work as a benchmark for me to reach. I would take from their work, their individual style, and skill and if it happened to inspire me to do better, great. I wouldn't run home to re-create their work. That's not what real artists do.

  • AND, I must add, until you've drawn every bone, crevice, hair, and body part of a 6', 320 pound man perfectly, don't even begin to challenge the 2734882338128038 artists that create art across the world. Go to many classes of this nature, at a reputable school and you will quickly learn where your shortcomings are.

  • You are so full of shit, I cannot even begin to state in words, as no one has ever drawn every little hair, so you have no idea what a artist is obviously, lol

    I do not need to pay some long winded professor in order to learn how to draw, as like I said, I can match or exceeep any artist I know of, & I have the art to prove it LOL

  • Like a nude drawn on actual paper, with actual pencils.....I'm not knocking those who say they can look at something and draw it perfectly....but to be a well-rounded, educated artist, a class like this is necessary, not to mention beneficial.

  • ..to believe your art conquers all, you are making an extremely arrogant statement.. It reminds me of the people on American Idol who think they can sing, and then they meet the real judges and get sent home crying. What you believe about your skills is not always "truth" The drawing this man is doing does not relate to Digital Art in any way sphinxrising, and since you challenge others to your type of art, why not show us something of yours that's actually relevant to this type of drawing.

  • Not arragant, just confident, too bad you lack the ability to see the difference, lol

    Look at my profile, check out the mermainds, which would be about as close I a example as I have to the human form.

    Let's see some of your art since you consider yourself such a " expert ", lol

  • Hmmm I just happened to run across this blog, and somehow I found myself interested in the comments more than the video itself. I agree that if you plan to draw figures you should invest some time into learning at least basic anatomy, and everyone can benefit from a life drawing class like the one that this man is demonstrating. No artist can beat everyone. It's not possible, and if you believe that, I suggest you open your eyes. There are many artists, many judges, and way too many eyes....

  • FYI, most artists are vain creatures, as look at many that grand stand on YouTube, & elsewhere in the world FFS.

    You obviously know little about art, or you would know art is a contest, it's a contest about contantly bettering yourself by comparing your abilities to others, using them as a benchmark to reach, then surpass, duh.

    OH, I know my art does not suck at all, but nice try at taking a shot at it, would like to see you either match or do better, but doubt you can, lol

  • YOU sir, are incredibly full of yourself. Don't make comments suggesting that others cannot match or surpass your artistic skills.

    I have to agree with the art is a contest comment though, that is very true. Artists are constantly comparing theirselves to other artists and trying to better themselves.

  • OK, MR. Jumbo Jet, first of all, if you are going to try to qoute me, at least get it right.

    I said, " Never seen anyone who I cannot equal or outright beat in art yet ".

    FYI, I can sculpt, paint, draw, do computer art ( obviously ), write, was a former professional commercial artist ( who did quite nicely ), among other things.

  • Had you bothered to look at all the drawings, you would have seen the mermaids 7 centuar I did, variations of the " human figure " you seem to place so much importance on, lol

  • I suppose it depends on the art movement type you are into. Realist, classical etc. The man is portraying classical (I like both equally). The ideal proportions of the human body (8 heads), that he shows is not real, not anatomically correct; its just what the Greeks portrayed as ideal beauty. Good video though. I'm in love with renaissance period art.

  • those fingers are way too small

  • I guess youtube is where failed artists wind up commenting on videos of accomplished artists with jobs.

  • I never saw the need for it, as like I said before, I can draw anything I see or am able to imagine.

    This guy is drawing a woman, not exmaining some skeltal remains to determine age, race, or gender, hence, all the steps he is taking could be used to just draw her.

  • I never failed at anything I ever put my mind too, I quit because it ( commercial art ) killed my love of art for a while, FYI.

    Never seen anyone who I cannot equal or outright beat in art yet.

  • "Never seen anyone who I cannot equal or outright beat in art yet."

    Oh really? Ever compete on an art site like worth1000 or penciljack? I'd love to see how you'd do in competition. 'Put your art where your mouth is,' so to speak.

  • Look son, I was making money with my art while you was still beating off to your mom's PlayGirl magazines.

    You people are pathetic.

  • That's interesting, "dad."

    Let's see, at 50 you are 4 years older than me. I sold my first artwork at age 6. You would have been about 10. I don't think either one of us would have been beating off to anything, "dad."

    But I can understand your defensive stance when asked to actually back up your statements. I mean, what was I thinking? LOL

    Now, I've actually competed on art sites. Sometimes I've won, sometimes I've lost. It's a humbling experience. Try it sometime if you got the guts, "dad."

  • Sure you was, I just bet. What is closer to the truth is you spend all day online telling lies. Sad really.

  • Your "digital art" is a joke. Any moron could go in Photoshop and do any of that stuff in like 2 minutes. Don't kid yourself, you are no artist so stfu.

  • I love this video!

    I learned about anatomy from George Bridgeman's "Constructive Anatomy", but I never met an artist that actually constructed this way. Apparently, many artists do a lot of this in their heads to avoid a lot of erasing, but seeing it in practice shows us the value of understanding the "mechanical" or "mathematical" aspect of structures. I'm on the wrong coast, though, I'd run to your class if I was in LA!

    P.S. I'd like more info on what you were doing with her knees!

  • What's all this disrespect for drawing what you see? Only people who can't do it slag it off.

  • Learning how to draw structurally isn't a waste of time.

    Nobody cares about your method.

    It doesn't have to look like the chick, he's trying to explain to your shallow head how to draw form, not copy what he sees exactly.

  • gheemunnie: Your English grammar shows your limited intelligence! Anatomical drawing is the foundation for medical illustrations, reconstructing of extinct animals like dinosaurs, and for forensic reconstruction to help police ID a murder victim and determine what happened. How do you take a picture if you've only got bone fragments? There are situations where photographs are impossible, but you need an illustration to understand the concept. A picture is worth a 1000 words!

  • I can see what you mean now, but even so, half the time these " experts " still manage to get things wrong, like instances in which:

    They identified the remains of a pig as a ancient ancestor to man.

    Swore by the Pilt Down Man.

    Assembled a skeleton of a T-Rex wrong, their mistake only being known when a visiting 11 year old pointed their mistake out.

    Raved over the majesty of some unknown artists, only to learn later that 1 artist was a elephant & the other a 5 year old girl.

  • Besides that, what you said has no bearing on this video, in that she looks pretty fleshy to me.

  • sphyinxrising58: The amount of flesh influences the size and of the bone.  If a bone fragment is discovered, it can be reverse analyzed to determine the animal's size and girth.

  • Yes, I am well aware of the proportions of one part of the human skeleton to another, as unlike some, I did not learn about forensic medicine from CSI, lol

  • you have no clue what the hell youre talking about.

  • Otis design colledge FTW!

    I wanna go there... xD

  • Why do all that ? Just draw what you see.

  • You can't draw what you just see. If you have the mind of a supernatural and can get every single point right as well as curves, then bravo; sadly, the human species has errors, that is why artists usually do sketches & anatomy first before getting in depth.

  • Maybe people who go to school od it that way, but I never felt the need to doo all that stuff he was talking about, which frankly, most artists who are professionally trained seem a bit full of themselves.

    I can draw anything I see or can imagine without going through all them steps.

  • You probably can, but your drawings probably look like shit too.

  • haha.

  • I dont think you've ever done any life drawing. if you have you would understand why the sketching is helpful

  • I usually spend a few hours positioning my model before I start drawing. It keeps the model from fidgeting and I am relaxed enough to either draw or smoke.

  • oh my gosh how can i draw like that...

  • What do you think that video is about

  • It was a quick draw.

  • My ears!!! My ears!!!

  • i could never draw like this. i would just start drawing the detail in the beginning and guesstimate (i know its not a real word) were all the lines need to be

  • very good tutorial but the music has got to go
