  • the better part started at 3:10

  • i want to draw like that!

  • great work!! with cintiq?

  • When i was growing up i saw guns and drugs and blood and shit every single day on tv but i rarely saw any boobs... Whats up with that?

  • I like when people say "self taught" when they look through every drawing book and look up videos on drawing...there is no such thing as "self taught"

  • @vivalaminion It was to my understanding that "self-taught" refers less to not being given any tips at all, and more to never having gone to a formal school for art-related purposes. Or something.

  • @vivalaminion you know what the hell she means.. she means she didnt spend $37021351 dollars on rip off schools. a teacher didn't teach her, she taught herSELF. It's something to admire

  • @yoooooooox3 she didn't teach herself because she is using similar techniques to what i've been taught...believe me...there is NO such thing as self-taught. Not trying to be mean, but I can't stand it when people say that without really knowing what it means.

  • Im curious about photoshop. Are you using a stylus for this?

  • Yeah for boobs! on a serious note-the world needs to progress. Figure drawing as a fine art is as much a science for those who honestly push themselves to become professional artists whether through collegiate/academic subscription or individual diligence, and perseverance. This type of material must be available to young students and even children alike-nudity is not perverse, people are. Nudity is the purest form of freedom.

  • could you please show a figure drawing on a paper ??

  • You do a great job at showing that nudity doesn't have to be nasty. And here it isn't. It is clearly an Art form and I thank you for showing how you draw the way you do.

  • Where do you get your model photos from?

  • @xandshescreamedi i saw this picture before on deviantart.

  • i came here because of the girl with the pink ball

  • dayum, that second girl is FINE

  • The second girl was FIT! 

  • (contains nudity) = *click*

    Seriously though, I really like these vids.

  • only titties ur ever goa find on youtube yo.haha yee

  • Surprised this hasn't been removed.

  • @Minsheme Why would it need to be removed?

  • Honestly i don't know what I'm doing with my life right now.

    I've always had good talent at drawing, but i haven't drawn probably in a year.

    I'm wasting my life playing video games when i can be making art :/

    Haven't seen any videos from you in a while

    Thank you Sycra for always inspiring me :)

  • please tell me where do you get this pictures from?

  • This is a great video. what kind of tablet and program are you using?

  • Comment removed

  • You should use separate layers for your light sketching and your darker "confident" lines.

  • Wow, it's not often you see a person who's better at drawing from thier mind than from a reference. That's really awesome! :)

  • omg i think i saw a whale.....

  • your study of the second life model is actually more engaging than the photo. watching the figure emerge is mezmerising here. fantastic. as for the flagging of a video like this, i can't imagine how someone might find it at all offensive.

  • You should try using Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro, you may enjoy it :)

  • I wonder how different the reaction would have been if the video showed a guy instead of girls...

  • I can draw with graphite, charcoal, pastel, colored pencils. Anything like that. Drawing on a screen is a huge peeve for me. I have tried it many times and it never turns out the way I plan. Although, I am still young at the age of 14 so I do imagine that I must practice. Amazing style of art. Realistic art is a bit out of my range at the moment.

  • @rockstar3541 Good Job continue doing that. :)

    good luck

  • very nice i must say. ;)

  • he's like using a hand-held pencil on a mouse. that's freakin' awesome!!!!

  • I like the way you use a center line and other guide lines and then attacking the subject's angles and creating volume first before applying finality. I don't know if you have it already but I want to say that VIRTUAL POSE is also a great help for people who wants to learn figure drawing. Thank you very much for the video.

  • OMG boobs on youtube... btw i you draw verry beautiful

  • B e a utyfull I love the music it is sad but beautyfull.

    I like the art too.

  • man i miss life drawing so much, is there like a site were these photo references are available?

  • @qgan Try posemaniacs com it has over 19k photos and has some really cool features. I think the guy deserves some credit for putting up a site like that

  • Beautiful work!! Love the music too!

  • Absolutely amazing.

    

  • Mad skills

  • I'm sorry, but the second picture of the women holding the workout ball made me happy inside, she's a complete hottie :D :D :D

    I love your vids Sycra, i've finally dedicated myself to working a bit more on my art, and finding methods of anatomy that will help me produce better works of art.

  • wut song is this:))

  • The naked human body is beautiful....well to me women cause I am a man, but some people just make WAY TO BIG OF A DEAL ABOUT IT! One time in my class a class mate looked at what I was drawing and he was said " OH WOW! why are you drawing that?!" ( I was life drawing a woman) and so I told him and he just kept saying "wow". Even though we are in art class he still did that, some people just are annoying and don't understand.

  • i love life drawing, i used to hate it. but now i always look forward to the class.

    Thanks for the vid!

  • Hm I think you have quite solid knowledge of form and structure, but to improve your skill you should focus more on what you see, than what you know about figure construction. The mainproblem is that your drawings are not really matching the figures shown in the picture. That is causing that your figures have neither real connection to the ground nor a real statics. You can see that on your drawing of the woman with the ball. She seems to carry nothing in your drawing.

    kind regards

  • Comment removed

  • Very good. I used to do quite a bit of figure studies and have gotten out of it due to lack of a common network and expense. You are a true inspiration. Thank you.

  • Sliiiick, am sure the model feels complimented

  • that last chick was UGLY!!

  • @xxnickpricexx and you are five years old

  • hey u lack movements in ur figure drawing. dont concentrate to much on the postures. but overall good :D and also draw on paper.

  • Well if they can allow this video then youtube should allow all nude videos no exceptions

  • Is it different drawing on a computer than on paper? I see alot of the stuff drawn on the computer but I only draw on paper. I guess it is the same line work?

  • @zekehooper It is mainly an adjustment of hand-eye coordination. You have to look at a screen while drawing on another surface. Can be tough for some.

  • For real, woman ain't got tit's to shame theirself of it.

    Neither YouTube or anything else have the right to flag it!

    THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE THAT BOOBS SHOULD BE PUBLIC AND WISH IF YOU GO TO SCHOOL YOU SEE DOZENS OF BOOBS

  • @S1lence696 is a very stupid comment..... let me ask u something do u go topless to school showing ur manboobs?

  • @DARKENDER17 Well, since I go to the gym I got a muscle body, including my pec's.

    So, yeah :3

  • @S1lence696 LOL!

  • @S1lence696 thumbs up to that

  • @jayhawk184 Haha :D

  • @S1lence696 Legalize boobs! xD

  • @S1lence696

    It's not about the boobs themself, it's about way the "kids" are looking at them :) I don't agree with you

  • @charpencil So what?XD

    Girls will also look at my muscles. Do I seem to care? XD

  • The human body is a work of art. Its beauty should be celebrated.

  • i was wondering what program and what type of tablet you use ?

  • @dialonn software:Photoshop...tablet:I guess....wacom..

  • boobies yay

  • This is a sweet video. The music goes well.  Keep up the good work.

  • This is some good stuff man!! (for the kids, I mean the drawing) Good music as well. I usually just do some gestures and bang into the circular form, I'll try to integrate the collar bone and hip angle into my drawing. Thanks for the info

  • Great example of drawing from a photo. Watching a drawing in progress like this is much more helpful than looking at a four or five step example in most books.

    Thank you for posting this.

  • where did you get the reference photos?

  • @andrewdaslayer2

    The photos are from DeviantArt. Check out the "Resources & Stock Images"-section.

  • @Luukuu

    Thank you, I did not know that. I am always on the prowl for useful nudes for practice. A lot of sites charge for nudes.  I'll hop over to Deviant to see what they offer the community.

  • its always hard for me to do these computer sketches. u have a very steady hand.

  • Thank you! I learn more from you than my drawing class!

  • r using photoshop...? what kind brushes you used...? can give me a download link ...?

  • Ah, having a little trouble with the fingers at 7:52 I see...well don't we all.

    But no matter, after all this is a video on figure not fingers.

    So nice job my man...and don't worry I liked the shading at the end of the video.I always get disappointed when the shading gets choppy like that, but one of these days i'll make it work like some of these other guys on youtube do.

  • where did you get these stock photos? did you pay for them?

  • i want to be an artist but i have many other skills but not to do with sports i mostly want to be a cartoon artist or a artist for sketches and pastel art but i do not know but i do know one thing i can draw futurama and american dad and family really really well it really looks like them unlike most people who draw a kinda bootlegged version but i still support them for it is art and art is whatever your imagination wants you to put on paper :)

  • Do you know where I could find pictures like these that are allowed to be used for drawing? I would like to use some of their poses but I do not want to draw them without their permission. Anyone? Please. Like, where did these pictures come from?

  • I saw the word "nudity" and I was here. lol

  • The last model is yucky!

  • That is a very good video! The pacing, the music and watching the drawings develop was beautiful. But more than that, you offered common sense instruction. I hope people will watch this and begin to realize that drawing isn't a mystery, they can learn to do it too.

  • simply wonderful.

  • This has a much more organic approach to digital rendering than most tutorials using drawing/paint software. Thank you for the solid foundational steps as well as the well-chosen music to highlight the lesson. Excellent techniques and range of poses.

  • im not going to lie i came here for the boobs

  • fapfapfap lol jk

  • AHHHHHH OMFG thats my teacher at 5:50 omg im ill never get that outta my head!

  • Fantastic! I remember also seeing a few of these lovely photos from photographers on DeviantART. especially, the first photo you drew from was one of my favorite figure photos on the website.

  • very creative.. like it..

  • I didnt come here for the art xD

  • oh no nudity !!!!! breasts are so offensive oh wow thank god sarcasm is not overrated this days oh my GODNESS!!!!

    nOWadAys people think nudity = to sexual, tabu, erotic-sin aaand forbidden!!!

  • So i love to draw, and i was sitting here watching this video on full screen and while eating my cookies my dad all of a sudden walks in and goes, wtf are you watching?

    i couldn't of looked more of a creeper with cookies in my hands leaning back watching this video in full screen. fml lol

  • @jayhawk184 lol i think that can go on fml.com

  • @jayhawk184 LOL

  • o boi titties

  • for everyone who don't get it... He's NOT using a mouse , he's using a tablet, nobody can draw good with a mouse.

  • This king of art is just shit...!!!

    Can this artist use his mother or sister instead of this model..?

    Watch The Arrivals...

  • I'm in art school learning this format of drawing. I know how to draw but with this professional educated style is harder than it looks and they are using a computer so awesome......WOW

  • i like how you start off with the spine first.. i'm going to start using that.. your really good with proportion..

  • nice work what program are you using? i am a student artist and i'm new to the digital side so i was just wondering

  • I think doing it by hand (like with pencils) are more of a talent than using a mouse. Kind of takes the fun out of it by not doing it by traditional pencil & paper

  • I think doing it by hand (ie: pencils) are more of a talent than using a mouse. Kind of takes the fun out of it by not doing it by traditional pencil & paper

  • How are you so accurate with a mouse?

  • @markmansion I think its a tablet not mouse...hope that helps.

  • just a girl who gives a damn i am trying to draw here

  • Sycra, you're quite good at figure drawing. Well, better than I am, anyway. ;)

    Could somebody tell me the name of the music from this? I really like it.

  • it would be cool if i could draw like that

    why did you choose to draw the third ew

  • Luck of the draw.  Sometimes when you show up the model is like #2...SCORE!!!! and sometimes #3....ew. and sometimes a guy...ultimate waste of trip.

  • k..the 2nd girl is hot ^^

    Well at least i learn alot!

  • I do not know why people make such a big deal out of nudity! It should not be banned!!!

  • hahaha how has this not been flagged yet

  • "Definitely no expert", you say?

    Well, I *am* an expert, and I assure you; you're far too modest.

  • its pretty hard 4 me to draw hands and feet. Everything else i do ok. But usually i draw the heads bigger lol

  • The second chick is so hot!

  • i enjoyed the video, and realized i don't have the talent this requires lol . but hey this track is nice whats it called?

  • The piece name is vocalice

  • secound girl has nice boobs

  • z0mg! bewmbs!!

  • in the video info it says it's your self-taught method.... can you please explain it??? i would love to know how's the process of drawing for you.

  • Do you proportion the torso by eye or are you measuring it as twice the size of the head?

  • Bet you guys that most people HERE are just perverts...

  • Some people are, and somes not. Some people are looking at art's method and some is just looking at the naked picture instead of the watching the art. Well I am not a pervert here. i am also learning to be a perfessional artist.

    to all people: THIS IS ART! BE MATURE.

    x3

  • @CrystalLove2468 You are so right. The kids at my school make fun of the art teacher because she drew a picture of a naked woman. The kids at my school are so immature. I am not a perv either. I also want to learn how to be a perfessional artist.

  • Are you serious your amazing, I wish my figure drawins was half that good.

  • who the fuck flagged this? freaking immature people

  • @Alansr10 Probably a Baptist. Immature prudes. 

  • Comment removed

  • @Alansr10

    The person probably flagged it because he got mad that he had to go put on a new pair of underwear.

    Relax little kids, it's not that exciting...well, it's great art, so yes it is very exciting...but it's just not THAT kind of exciting.

  • @Alansr10 - your reaction is more immature honestly

  • BOOBIES!

  • Great job. What program do you use to record your videos? I'd like to start doing the same for my drawings as well.

  • thanks!! I needed to get better drawng the bodies. I'm really having a hard time with hands though.

  • Nice variance in models for this demo! Great music and sub narration. Overall presentation 5/5! Thanks! XD

  • why is she bald?

  • Yeah, good video. I just wish that the people viewing it were actually interested in drawing.

  • hmmm is it difficult to draw with a tablet?

    cuz i think so.... does it need a lot of practice to draw with a tablet?

  • Yeah it takes some getting use too..but its a cool little tool!

  • could you send me the first and the second picture that you drew? i just want to practise.

  • Cute little alien fingers on the last one :)

    Very nice "Tutorial".Keep posting! It was a long time since you last did.

  • haha. Chrono trigger music

  • I lvoe the linework you do to indicacte the shading, i think youve inspired me to want a tablet :P

  • I want to have a wacon

  • really promising talent - kind of stuff which makes me feel like grabbing my own wacom

  • Lol I'm 13 but I'm still nervous to watch this in the open with my parents home even if I'm a growing artist =.=

  • Haha, same here. ^^

  • This could be of use to me. I've been trying to do some figure drawing myself. Hopefully I can improve my figure drawing with this.

  • chrono trigger frog theme

  • Desiman:

    "1. Your models are 2D. It is always more difficult working with 3D, that is, live models."

    uh..Just read that over, fail mate

  • my sister is the 3rd chick

  • for real? no joke?

  • my mom is the secound lady in the video.

  • when you switch from light to dark brushes, I was wondering, if you could tell me what your brush settings are, if you don't mind?

  • HA!

  • WTF... are you kidding me? I can't believe the comments below. I'd hope that they are not serious because this shows entirely the lack of insight into the study of art. If you don't have a clear understanding of the human anatomical structure, you CAN'T replicate or even approximate that structure in anything you create, in whatever medium. There will always be those that think this is lewd or crass... whatever. These youtube presentations are not only instructive but usually inspirational.

  • Art is not defined, many people learn, teach and draw in entirely different ways. For example some people start in the center, some don't, you don't have to follow every line, and you could never know whether someone has a sense of anatomy or not. People have moods and could freestyle whenever they feel need be, art doesn't have a set way to draw something, just because sycra didn't define every tiny detail in the woman's anatomy, doesn't mean s/he doesn't know anatomy..

  • I never could figure out people draw nudes.

    enlightenment please.

  • this is done with a mouse?

  • Your weird...

  • nice, woman in the 2nd photo is gorgeous

  • the girl in the last photo, her leg looks dislocated..

  • brilliant video, 5/5

    i have always loved drawing but never had the time to do it, your videos have inspired me to pick up a pencil again :)

  • Some people are so prude, I've been visiting the art school since I was 9 and we were drawing naked statues...I mean, the statue of David from Michelangelo is naked, is it supposed to be grose now?

  • I have not picked up a drawing pencil in 5 years.....thanks for the inspiration.

  • well done!! ^_^
