A Very Helpful Video! Personally, I've heard of some of this stuff before, but I think all of the stuff you said is very important and helpful . . . Thanks! :D
I personally draw people in irregular poses, not just becuase it makes for a more interesting pose but as it's a challenge and It furthers my skills much quickier...
=S I think this is a disease, how the people in the drawing is always skinnier than the ones appear from the picture. =P I have the same attempt when drawing people.
Nightsinger. Mark Crilley isn't even CLOSE to Matt in drawing ability. And learning to draw folds starts here, based on the real. Only once you have drawn folds from life 100000 times, then what you end up producing from imagination may be actually worth looking at.
Honestly though, how could you even say Mark Crilley is better? Awesome stuff Matt, wish you would post more.
I say say it very easily. Mark is far more genuine, and is a better teacher.
All matt seems to do is copy from a photo reference. That isn't drawing ability, its the ability to copy. Drawing from real life is all well and good, but it alone isn't art or expression. Its actually a very cheap attempt at skill, copying a drawing line for line from a photo is easy, very easy. If he used live models, then i'd have a different opinion.
are u dumb? its true that mark crilly draws good but his art is different hes A MANGA ARTIST!!!!! and regular art from manga art is DIFFERENT!!!!!!!! first of all manga characters r not REAL!!! if u look at their eyes they're not even close to a humans!! and there r many ways to draw manga.....also many sites and schools to learn manga art..also if mark crilly sometimes does his art in black and wite...but still saying that mark is better then matthew for such a stupid reason is pathetic..
They have the same roots in life drawing (you need to know the rules before you can deform them), so its a moot point, its also an irrelavent one. As i'm not comparing manga to life drawing.
I'm critical of matthew's teaching style and his ability to draw from anything other than a photograph. Anyone can draw from a photograph, anyone, and this is guy is trying to sell me a teaching DVD. Teaching someone to do something easy doesn't interest me.
@Nightsinger i cant believe u just tried to compare Mark Criley and Mathew they are completely different styles of drawing, hahaha i laugh at your stupidity. Manga and life drawing are not the same both artist are very good at what they do so please keep negative comments to yourself unless you know what your talking about.
@Kamikuru77 nightsinger is kinda right tho, i wouldn't say it soo rudely, but wat he said holds truth later on in an artists career.pictures are ok sometimes but live models are far better to work with, and the references would need to stop to truly become an accomplished artist. if u follow these lessons, it would be wise to only do it for a little while. then do it on your own.
@Nightsinger basics are needed, to form a m,emory bank, mark crill is amazing, i do prefer him, only because i prefer anime, but markcrilly his drawing are worse in some ways and better in others, he has really sharp edges and uses many straight lines, this is a diffrent tehcniq, if you can only do mark crilly style you are pathetic to say that, he is trying to help you so watch learn adapt overcome and them you dont like it? improvise! magic is it not?
Matt is effectively teaching a method that depends greatly on outlining and extenuating specific details, overall it makes for a poor and shallow technique. Construction lines, expression of form and actual life reference are missing from most of his stuff, this is a valid criticism of someone selling you something.
For the record, I draw in several different styles, most prominently life drawing, but also comics.
@Nightsinger It's just drawing from life, but easier, because the photo doesn't move and is always available to use. It's not unoriginal, it's how most people draw -_-
If you want to have a robust technique, then you need to actually go out and draw something. Photo's are definitely important as references but they aren't very useful for actually understanding how a persons body is formed and constructed, and its this knowledge that makes for good technique. Like it or not, their wouldn't be any life drawing if photos are just as good.
Jebus, I made most of these comments years ago. Sheesh...
@Nightsinger Mark Crilley has mentioned that he uses references! I watch ALL of his videos, and when he does realism, he mentions that he uses a reference photo! And btw, Mark Crilley is centered around drawing MANGA. MANGA ISN'T REALISM.
The skirt looks kinda transparent since the line of the hip is the same as the skirt "sewing" (i dunno) ^^ Your videos helps alot and they are really kickass
hey that sounds great. Maybe it help me on my shading and how to draw real people. I don't have much experience drawing clothes nor real people. So I need lots of help and advice and I quite a few questions as well.
"regular girls" pfft yeah. regular girls like that on my road XD

Can you only draw directly from a reference.
Are you unable to draw clothing from your imagination.
Because your effectively teaching people to do what a camera can do. Only worse, and in black and white.
Mark Crilley is far more informative and useful than you are.
