Thank you for the video

Thanks, Mark!

Tracing helps with accuracy and to study the figure better. You can learn from it and always add but it does help in tandom with using refference. In all, a useful tool with studying your subject. Hell, I trace my own work to tranfer to better illustration boards and canvas for painting❤ 🖌️

nice perspective!!!

Hey, I use the third method! And here I was thinking I was developing something all my own lol

This is really helpful! Thank you!⭐

Just tried the cylinder method is it's great, simply, time-saving, might use it as my main method as very, thank you

8:31 him saying no tools and I was not using them at all😎

I really liked the cylinder/ellipse method, definitely going to try it out, the other methods are really great too

Just here to remind you to unload the weekly streams on us... (all the puns intended)

I'm tryna focus on drawing poses..... Jk this helped alot Still....

"How tall are you?" *7 of your heads*

Great video, Marc! Do you have any tips on juggling projects and studies, for us semi-professionals in desperate needs of keeping our portfolios up to date while still doing studies to improve our skills?

Awww COOL I came up with my own version of this last year. But yours has alot more definition and focus. YOU ARE THE BEST MARC! Thank you for your- OOHHH STICKMAN!!!!!

As a beginner, this video is awesome! Thank you!

epistemological nihilism is stronger.

Tracing just for education is always be the recommendation to learn shape. stuff looks like that for a reason if you cannot logically figure it out how it does certain pattern, trace it to learn how it works.

this is very helpful because i am terrible with proportions

Haven't seen the video or comments at all and have zero experience in drawing anything but I think I know why it's good to trace By tracing you learn how to employ principles that the original artist used that you then get to use yourself as you familiarize yourself with which brush strokes to make and techniques to use. BOOM

I do a combination of all

These are really neat. I use a mix of both~ I use the cylinder for the ribs, then the rhombus for the female hips and the box shape for the male characters’ hips (unless they’re more on the feminine side body-wise, then I just use a narrower soft rhombus). I am seeing realtime how (like facial guidelines) using a variation of them with different characters could change the structure of the character. For example, the first style makes more angular, “strong-looking” characters and the second makes more shapely, softer-looking ones. Mixing it makes, well, a mixture of the two. Ect ect. It’s pretty amazing. ect. It’s pretty amazing.

3 different ways to make a body Me: 3 different ways to study what options are absolutely amazing to learn from Marc: And it's free! Me: alright I'm sold, I'm drawing ❤

Ta chido 😃👍

It must really suck for people to sit next to Marc, because a few minutes before class starts, the background begins exploding.

Man i bet its must be 50+ layers

Do you have any videos on shortcuts in painting programs to save time? That's what I thought this whole video would be.

What ive been doing is tracing… wow, im a criminal

hmm... you realy talk like bushier brow sensei

This jump is unfair 8:37.. i wanted to see how you got there but you skipped.

THANX! For the lesson 🙇

I have no trouble drawing figures. I am a bit too obsessed with drawing muscles. What I do have trouble is with foreshortening. I have no clue how those manga artists do it. And hands… we don’t talk about the hands 😂

It's sad that this style looks awfully like AI art now.. I'm really worried about my art career

Tracing to improve natural skill = good Tracing to cheat = bad A very Greg Land a very popular and famous Marvel artist is accused of this often because he can pump out 22 full pages a week. It is hard to not see how this may be true with all the comparisons, he is also accused of tracing real images from TV and pornogrophy.

Long time viewer marc, I truly enjoyed todays video on sharing with us three different ways on drawing the bodies for drawing practice. I am pretty decent with enviorment creation simplitic wise. I am liking the three methods ya shared with us today. I'll defently start my journey with the box method then slowly move on up to the third set. Thanks so much for sharing your tips with no fluff and bs just straihgt to the point as it should be as well. Also you've been motivating me to get back into physical drawing again slowly these past few years to.

What's sad is I saw the thumbnail and instinctively thought it was A.I. I'm glad I was wrong and clicked it.

I love this

Are all the explosions Deidara references?

Love this shit ❤️❤️ love your face

i did this ONCE on stream, and i got SO much negative feedback from random viewers. i only did it, because 1 viewer asked what method i would use to do it. which I never trace, but if i had to, i showed him the example. during the process, random people coming in, started talking sh*t about me and my art. This hurt me, even if it was just an example. i tried explaining , but it was too late by then. the chat was arguing back n forth with one another. Marc, how would you have handled it?

I've been working really hard this last half year to try and learn anatomy, proportions, etc, but I was really struggling to sort of put it all together into a cohesive and clean way. I did a stick figure like foundation similar to the third method just to pose and measure it out, then followed along with the second method on top of it here, and it all just clicked together so nicely all of the sudden. I mean, it didn't come together as well as the one in the video, and I haven't tried a lot of different poses yet, but it's still a very passable looking mannequin. Really appreciate these tutorials you're always posting. Thank you!

IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT A BOX METHOD HOLY COW glad to know eventually I can reach that point of a more detailed mannequin I needed this video so badly THANK YOU

Always great advice!

Good one

I like the methods you listed and have in the few times I have recently drawn anything. Trying to work out more the oval/egg like shape for the head, bigger for the ribs with the marker for where they come up to the center, the bowl for the hips and then the limbs. proportions are pretty good, after I drilled those into myself. I just need to take it to the next steps of fleshing out, and value rendering.

The cylinder method has always been my method ever since I started learning anatomy, I feel very validated now

Thank you mark! Right as I get home I will try this! You saved my art from art block
