Measure Lines

[Ophiuchus94]

this video was really helpful! thanks!

[PerpetualJoy]

proportion is what i have the most trouble with, at least thats why i think all my faces and poses look wonky. or just extremely ugly.

[Antgirl89]

When I draw I do almost the exact same thing. Plus measure with my fingers.

[EustonFilms]

Can you draw us a figure from scratch? All your videos show half finished drawings that we never see progress.

[MsSamain]

Dont understand what u try to teach, my english is so poor, but the stekth have hard proportions errors.

el traslado de puntos de una fotografia es mas parecido a calcar que a dibujar.

Es en la comprencion de las estructuras geometricas mas simples que estan planteadas en el dibujo que aparece en el video, no hablo ingles por lo que esto no es una critica, solo es un comentario.

comprender esas estructuras y el conocimiento de la anatomia es lo que los puede llevar a ser buenos dibujantes.

[ericyabadabadoo]

he can draw a fucking straight line! FUCKING STRAIGHT!

[LE0NSKA]

i don't get the point of this video...

[SuperElmoHunter]

@LE0NSKA Its getting proportions right when copying pictures.

[LE0NSKA]

@SuperElmoHunter yeah i get that, but...isn't it ovbious?! it seems pointless.. it's like making a tutorial video about walking "how to walk, step by step"

actually almost all tutorial vidoes about drawing are pointless (i'm not saying this only for you..actually i'd like to say it to all)

a drawer knows most of those things and not because he learned it somewhere...it's because is logical or because he discovered it

and non drawer don't need it because...well they can't draw!

[SuperElmoHunter]

@LE0NSKA But some people find this video helpful. It helped me. And you say 'a drawer knows most of these things because they learnt it somewhere', well this is where I learnt it.

[LE0NSKA]

@SuperElmoHunter yes! people who can't draw! and the world don't need more of those...

oh..ups.. i actually meant learned by himself not somewhere...was little late so i just used the wrong word..sry for that

[SuperElmoHunter]

@LE0NSKA This is a technique that he learned himself and wants to show to others to try and improve their skills. Whats wrong with that?

[risskygambit]

@LE0NSKA Neither does it need more people who can't be bothered to use proper grammar when they're trying to make themselves sound smart.

What you are saying is that real artists don't have to be taught their skills. Is that right? Because if that's what you're saying then you probably are not that great of an artist yourself. Imagine if you had to teach yourself to do algebra or how to spell. Nobody just magically knows these things from birth and the same applies to art.

[LE0NSKA]

@risskygambit yeah im sorry for my horrible english..but i never learned it properly .. (i dont live in england or usa or whatever) and it's certainly not my birthlanguage

hmm no not realy... i'd say they do have to learn some techniques BUT not this kind of technique...its not even a real technique...it's all logical... you would do this by yoursel if you would think about it for two seconds

oh and your algebra comparison is stupid ...those things are controlled by different parts of the brain

[LE0NSKA]

@risskygambit @risskygambit so it's not the same

and no.. i'm not a good artist... i never said otherwise ..im just "eh" ...but still i managed to figure that linethingytutorial all by myself out when i was at the age of 8 or maybe 10

so if you're ...let's say 16+ and you haven't figured that out or at least something similar...then you should just stop drawing and painting and stuff...do something else

[SuperElmoHunter]

@LE0NSKA You dont have to learn everything by yourself for you to be a proper artist, learning by other people is part of life and art.

eww

[djsean12]

Fucking perv

[666crackhure666]

reported for porn!

[razzuberry]

@666crackhure666 for porn? Are you fucking stupid? Holy shit grow up!! Its called nude studies, you can only see her breasts and part of her butt, shes not fucking spread eagle. What are you 12?

[666crackhure666]

@razzuberry and you're fucking stupid for not seeing i was joking..

[razzuberry]

@666crackhure666 excuse me but sarcasm doesn't translate good over text since there are people who actually think like this. a just kidding would've been acceptable

[666crackhure666]

@razzuberry implying u didnt use swear words before me.

[mudprimitive]

@razzuberry - ironic that you told someone to grow up by throwing a tantrum

[razzuberry]

@mudprimitive hows that dead horse you're beating?

[killkill120]

I use the pencil to measure proportions! It is vital to my drarwings!

[de8struction]

Were can I find a bunch of these kind of pictures Please reply i need them for practice

[serajstyle]

dude it's easy to draw same picture size, teach us how you can draw small picture on big paper it'll be more pro lessons.

[Tag0Tronne]

@serajstyle the same idea applies, that's not really the subject of the lesson but even when you're making things big, if you don't know how to find your alignments you could be messing up your proportions if you're searching specifically for how to make things larger then try youtubing the graph style.

[pavkey88]

great tip... do you just carbon trace over the rough draft when you move to the final version or do you start from scratch?

[PeacefulParadox]

also, the back is arched too much outward in the drawing

[abo100ful]

one silly question .. why do all models has pubic hair ...

[PeacefulParadox]

@abo100ful the more "natural" look

[abo100ful]

@PeacefulParadox oh i got it now :))

[Viol3ntSolution]

thanks for posting i just watched about 8 of these tutorials and you are amazing! Hands down the best ive seen

[joshuaisaac99]

i hope a woman thrusts a frozen fruit up your drawing.

الصوره حلوه

[raver2007]

how much do you sond like owen wilson!

[CorpusChristi83]

not at all...Owen wilson sounds southern, not NY

[redheadelf]

it's much more valid to use guidelines when you draw a model LARGER than it's original size. when the dimensions are different it really becomes important to have some guidelines so resizing the image in your mind becomes more clear.

when it's the same size you can place the image very very close, or even underneath the paper for general guidelines.

it's not cheating by any means. People use projectors as their guidelines. but if you use methods as you show here, it's more valid in large.

[Evilmilhouse]

amazing work!!!! but, what kind of paper you used?

[vale90LCLC]

thank you, thank you and...thank you!!! :D

[KORNISMYPROBLEM]

i love ur tutorial.....it helps alot.....i was wondering where did u get the model photos....i can never find good ones like these

[KwonBoArocks]

you are amazying o.0... great turorial!

[gerardrondeau]

développement pédagogique,bravo.

[miguelpa6]

your tips are simply amazingly useful, so sad i don't have enough money to buy your DVDs :(

[puppeli]

thanks for the vids.

When you introduced the "containment system" a couple vids back, i was like wtf?!? But now im seeing the benefit of it. Thanks. I'll try this technique the next time i draw from a ref photo! :D

[MitRetsillac]

did you take the refernce photohraph yourself? or is there a site with thumbnails of these?

[thatdeaddude3212]

how do u make straight lines like those in the vid w/o a ruler?

[DarkVolvagia]

These tutorials are great and it feels like I really could benefit from using these techniques. There's a lot of drawing "turorials" on the net, and sometimes I watch them to see what they teach (or sometimes they do the opposit, so that's fun too), but these are some of those that I really feel I get something out of. Will definitely try it out. Thank you!
