For years I've wanted to start my own manga, but what always held me back was "I don't have the right tools" or "I'm just not high enough in skill for something complex like that". But ever since I found this drawlikeasir RU-vid channel with all it's incredible tips and tricks, I've been given new hope to try again with this new manga knowledge. Thank you Marcel, don't stop drawing 😎
I made a story a few years ago, and I wanted to become a better artist so that I could bring it to life instead of just on a google doc, this seriously helps out a lot in just 10 minutes! Thanks a bunch for the tips! Hopefully I can see my idea come true in the coming future!
I was thinking about starting a comic series for myself, and a full pose video would be awesome, thanks for making these awesome videos, and helping all us lost artists improve!
I’m creating one atm but I haven’t got to serious action so I’m trying to include dynamic and complicated poses to challenge myself as well but because I want variety of dynamics in it…
@@DrawlikeaSir the way i start my drawing is to make a blank body in the correct angle then change its pose and then work on the details Is it worse than the method you showed? For details i divide the body into 6 segments both arms,both legs,head and torso/middle body I struggle to fit everything in the desired angle and often make the body disproportionate And it's very hard to make the eyes,nose,mouth and forehead+hair fit in a small face any tips?(except making the face bigger)
This video changed EVERYTHING for me! My drawing skills have improved exponentially over the past few years, and it's all thanks to this video that clarified everything for me.
I cant belive how good this channel is. I mean it explains so well and it makes you intrested in drawing. It doesn't make you feel like you are doing homework or anything. Truly exceptional my good sir
Conclusion: Thumbnail sketches + planning your poses/where the body will be facing will make your drawings less awkward and references are your best friend! Easy-to-understand, simple and great explanation! Keep up the good work! :D
I've never been good at drawing anything, but I wanted to do something creative since I've recently had some more free time and this was the first video I turned to. The video helps a lot, thanks! Your channel seems very beginner friendly, and I like that.
legit 3 minutes in i just practiced poses with the thumbnail sketch... tell me why it actually helped me with my biggest issue bro you're not just a life saver you are a dream saver i took a lot away from this thank you
Your tutorial is probably one of the reason that keep me drawing and learning! Your voice aren't too monotone and your tutorial is also easy to understand,making it easy to keep up!
Dude, it’s like I’m getting a lesson from a spunky Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is excellent! Thank you so much! I’ve always been okay at drawing, but it was a nightmare getting the pose. Erasing...starting over again and again...A thumbnail sketch has totally changed the game for me. Thank you! May you have a successful artistic career doing what you love. This was great!👍 God Bless you!
A little tip for everyone who reads this : when you're doing a rough sketch, upper body = face x 2 , thigh = face x 2, shin = face x 2, foot = face/2. This will give you 7 1/2 porpotion of body. Don't count pelvis in the first step to make it easier, because it can be counted with thighs
@@donalgrump69yrsago9 okay my bad 😅: shin is same length as the thighs, which are same length as the upper body which is as twice as the length of the face. Feet being half of the face. This all gives 7 and a half of the face (standard body length)
I rly rly like your guides and bow you explain these stuff I've watching all of your guides and they have helped me improve so much thanks so much marcel 💞👍🏻✨
Me too :D! And now when i draw a person i dont instantly lose motivation when im done because of how "ugly" it looks. Now i think they look amazing :).
Thanks for actually teaching me instead of saying "just draw a circle and... boom moba lisa" its really helpful especially when you mention that needing a reference is okay too many people give up on art because they think using a reference is for noobs and its not nothing wrong with getting help
I started watching your videos since around April of 2021 and i gotta say thanks. You were one of the artist who really kick-started my art journey and taught me the basics of art. I went from drawing like a toddler trying to redraw what i see from reference to drawing the figure in all sorts of poses with anatomical precision from memory. Its because of you i have progressed farther than i ever thought i'd be so once again. Thanks!
Hi, just for you to know that I started drawing only a few months ago after years telling myself that I wasn't made for it. I have some attention issues and I've been trying to learn multiple of times in my life but I always ended up giving up because I wasn't able to keep focused. BUT since I discovered your channel, I have been feeling much more motivated ! Your methods are really clear for me and they reassured me a LOT because many tutorials are quite scary, even those made for beginners lmao. So I wanted to thank you for all those useful tutorials, they played a big part in my learning process and kept me truly motivated !! I feel that I progress so much everytime I watch one of your vids, so again : thank you very, very much for sharing your knowledge ♥
thanks for this simple but helpful video. i just started drawing and was told to do figure drawing. wasnt interested in it but realised it was important and thought it was hard, this video proved otherwise.. im hoping to make a manga so im working on drawing faces and figure drawing at the moment.
I've also found that drawing lines of actions make poses way more dynamic. Foreshortening is also a useful tool to learn. I would definitely recommend them along with all the advice given here.
Something I noticed is that he's one of the few pros out there who consistently use guidelines in order to perfectly get the perspective in his art right. That's why I like to use him as an example quite often.
Thanks for teaching me! I've been drawing for years now but still i don't know how to draw any poses but when i found this video it helped me alot, Thanks!
Convenient. I'm trying to draw a little girl pulling her friend along happily, while he tries to pull away, and have problems trying to angle the second arm. Liked how the boots turned out though.
4:57 - I sometimes used to do smaller drawings. This helps with complicated drawings if you don't have a clear view of the overall picture. But rather than do that, I just started doing very, VERY light sketchs, and oval multiple lines of a drawing to size it all up and in, until I can determine where the strongest lines go, as I find the shape of the line with my pencil before the ink in. How people fix this usually in programs is they select an area and resize it or make it smaller (As I've seen you and Stanley lau (Artgerm) and other professional artist do.)
Watching this video on my tv rn and I’m only 3 minutes in and I’m 3 things, entertained, learning, and happy. This is already helping me out a lot, especially because it’s my dream to be a full time artist. This is my second channel so no it’s not my dream to be a professional gamer lol I just play games and actually I enjoy drawing some video game art and characters, but lately I’ve wanted to improve and try and use references less (I know there’s nothing wrong with references, I just want to have skill without using references) so I can expand. I also want to expand with drawing females because all I draw are males, which this helps because I know females are drawn in lots of poses (same with males of course). So thank you this helped a lot.
1+ subscriber, I learned a lot of new things with this. For an example: the line for the cage rib is for the shoulders, you should use cilinders for the arms instead of circles, and a lot of other things. It’s awesome that this video is still extremely expendable, and useful with 2y of being uploaded
Cool, I’m currently building my skills so I can draw my manga. I’ve been binging all your videos, since I found your channel the other day, and it’s helped a lot.
Thank you SO SO MUCH!! You don't understand, how this helped me!! whenever i just see a pose and sketch it out like in this video, it comes out SO EXTEMELY GOOD!! THANK YOUU!! 😄😄
I just started back drawing this month from taking a 6-7 yr hiatus (life, depression etc) so I’m literally starting back all over again. I absolutely love this video and will be subscribing and watch your other videos as well. I’m guilty of using a mixture of just drawing by sight and using the “stick figure” method.
I love this comment because I took like a 2 yr break and thought it was too late for me to come back again… just need to stop comparing myself to others and start practicing!
This video is super helpful! Since watching and learning from what you've been showing us, posing had become a heck of a lot easier! 🤗 Thank you again Marcel! 🥰 Wonderful work as always!
I didn't realise how important is to draw a non too detailed body BEFORE all of the details, i've been drawing Sonics all of my life, and some of them were really bad and just because of not doing that simple step, wow. I drew one today the thing i did first was the body. The whole drawing took me like an hour, maybe a bit more, but i can still say that it's my best Sonic ever made. Thank you for the video!
Even though this isn't my style of art. I'm gonna try it with my style since I still struggle with poses after years of drawing, I can only draw about two or three poses and this helped so much.
Thank you for this. Thumbnailing is something I definitely don’t do enough of. Also it’s nice to finally hear you tube artists pushing back against this weird notion about reference. I don’t know when it started but there’s this pernicious belief that’s crept into the wider art community that you can only draw from imagination in order to be a “good” artist. I’ve seen it in comments all over in many different art forums and it’s just weird and wrong. Good artists use reference. Professional artists use reference. Even Kim Jung Gi uses reference (though I suspect most people only know him from his art demonstrations where he draws from imagination though there’s a lot more going on there than people realise).
I didn't had anything to do as the gap b/w the lecture was 20 minute so i just started doodling from anything I remembered from ur thumbnail and guide u gave, and omg I was surprised what I drew wasn't really as gud as yours but it was really best thing I ever drew
This entire video is a life saver. I've been trying to do really complicated poses and my brains been bleeding from all the redoing and from the fact that my construction is really bad
This is so well explained and extremely helpful. Even though you had a video already about how to draw poses, this was still needed. What can I say, we all need to be told twice every once in awhile! Thank you for making great videos to teach and inspire us 💚
What I learned from this video is the following If you draw a small stick figure first, the rest of the work will be easier. And at the end of the video, he says it is important to use reference materials. I am Japanese and I use the translation function while watching. Thanks for the great video!
I’m trying my best to draw and all your videos really helped out even if I don’t know jack about how to draw muscles I have improved a lot so thanks for the video and advice ❤
This is wonderful for the mannequin stage of figure drawing! I highly highly recommend people learn just basic gesture drawing it really gives more life to your drawings and is quite relaxing
I’ve been drawing entirely self taught for so long. But as I got more advanced I needed others help. Thank you for this now I can finally break the barrier I found myself in.
Cara, você é incrível!! Mesmo sem entender muito de inglês, eu consigo pegar todas as informações que você passa! Muito obrigado!!! Sou seu fã!😁 Um abraço do Brasil!!🇧🇷
I LOVE your sense of humor. As an autistic person I don’t really get jokes and stuff like that, so I don’t really laugh that often. But your jokes are HILARIOUS and make me laugh every time.
thank you so much- ive had no motivation to draw lately and poses make things so much more difficult and ive been drawing for most of my life, im mostly self taught but this is one of the most helpful videos ive watched yet!! while watching i was drawing and i actually got a few harder poses that ive been having trouble with cause of the perspective!! this has changed so much- like im usually really bad with anatomy and poses but this video has actually help with that alot- so thank you so much for making this, all of the other videos ive seen are really hard to follow along!! your an amazing artist and im so happy i found your channel!! thanks again!!
Im having a little too much fun drawing poses haha. Thanks for all these drawing tutorials!! Im someone who just used to copy what they saw in the reference but didnt know about the building blocks. So sometimes they looked stiff or not realistic,but now they have some more flavor, better seasoning. Thanks!!!
POV: its summer now and you got nothing to do, so you want to improve your drawing skills and make your own manga but you suck Thats me rn, This was really helpful for a beginner like me. Thanks a lot
its been a long time since i last draw, and i found this tutorial very helpful and entertaining as well, im looking forward for more tutorials from you
You absolute madman, sir, I could barely draw a cube yet here I am half way through the video and I can basically draw a mannequin in any pose I want, you work magic. Thank you so much.
I don't know how to draw very well, but this has helped me so much in terms of parts of the body since I had literally no idea how to make my drawings don't look deformed 💥💥
I have a problem that I call “same pose syndrome” all my bipedal characters in the exact same pose, all of the quadrupedal characters n the same pose, no matter what species anyone is or what they’re wearing….
Marcel I have been having an issue for a long time that I can't draw anatomy from imagination, I have been struggling with creating my own character. Even if I was capable of doing the anatomy the muscle and ghe clothes etc.
i also had the same problem but, after i tried using my self reference and did a lot of practice(1month life drawing) now i can draw some poses without reference of my older knowledge of different poses
