In your humble opinion, what is the best figure drawing book / course / teacher? Please pyw to back up your claim, even if its just a quick doodle

nigga heil hitler

hmm, that opinion is not very humble, sir

Drawabox. Perspective is the fundamental you should learn the most, it helps with literally everything and is instrumental in solid draftsmanship, you can use in any style, any aesthetic, any subject and it will only improve.It unlocks the simple 2D paper in to 3D space that can be fully filled with anything you want, in a way is like "unlocking the camera" of your artwork, giving you much more choice and dynamic composition in anything you do, plus giving a complete full understanding of shape and form, needless to sya how beneficial that would be to any illustration.

Drawabox teaches you how to fundamentally use this tool in other to understand drawing in a deeper level that can be only achieved trough study.is simple, intuitive, effective and it provides exercises that I still do this day to polish some of my skills and is something an beginner as an experienced artist can benefit. is free, easy to find and I'm always shilling to anyone who asks me how to draw.

You can study anything perspective related and get good results, but draw a box teaches you how to internalize this sorta of thing without relying so much on guide lines and alikes.

interesting advice, not something you hear a lot on /ic/. Thank you for posting your work, though it's also interesting you didn't post a drawing with perspective. maybe you were making a point here?

>>7573850
Just a recent one I picked at random. and my main point is that by understanding perspective you can add depth to your drawing, it doesn't need to have a particularly blown out perspective to have an effect.

Figure drawing, Michael Hampton's book.
Course, Krenz+Drawabox.
Teacher, Marc Brunet though only his rendering vids

> good figure drawing
> posts digital slop
> transform tool on the hotkey
god i hate you all

>>7573796
>>7573923

>>7573964
I admire your rendering a lot, so I will give Marc Brunet a chance. Thank you anon

also, blog?

Sinix and ahmed aldoori also have nice rendering vids, I heard a lot of great stuff about aldoori's digital painting course medsmap, didn't try it myself but the 100 apple painting challenge is a pretty good idea to try out. Kinda similar to Drawabox and the 250 cubes challenge.

>>7573672 (OP)
The thing is, there's no magic bullet teacher or course that will give you insta gains. You will study many different sources and learn a few new things from each one.

Some material that I recommend for figure drawing and anatomy:
Teacher: Vilppu(the old VHS videos), he was the first instructor that I watch and was game changing for me drawing full body figures.
Book: Hampton, Morpho and Stonehouse anatomy's notes(dense but fun to read).
Course: Proko YouTube, Scott Eaton(best one for anatomy), Will Weston class about proportion and basic anatomy and Marco Bucci YouTube(colour and values)
Also, I learn a lot from many random anatomy notes that I find on Twitter

redline it bro

>>7574003
you are a grand master of titties

thank youy for your advice

>>7574003
Thanks. Are the Scott Eaton and Will Weston courses buried in the /ic/ torrent?

>>7576742
I got them from the video course thread ages ago
I don't have them anymore but maybe someone in that thread can help you
I remember the will weston videos got leaked from a circlejerk discord server at the time and caused a huge meltdown, it was funny

You're sinix sensei don't you? I know it is you. I love your work sinx

All of Junichi Hayama's figure drawing books are top tier imo. For better or for worse I learned to draw solely by copying them

>>7587206
>Junichi Hayama
i see a lot of jojos when i typed his name in, did he work on the anime?

>>7587206
what book did u look at ?

>>7587206
>>7587247
>>7587244

i cant find any of his books in english on any of my usual sites ;_;

>>7587244
idk about the dp anime but he worked on the ova
>>7587247

>>7587280
google translate is your friend

>>7587710
>google translate is your friend
no its not, that shit is not as accurate as it clairns

>>7587206
i can totally see the jojo reference

>>7574003
I save your pictures every time I come across them amawu anon

>>7587206
Impressive. I would totally believe it if someone says these were drawn by Togashi or another pro mangaka.
>>7574003
Impressive. How did you translate western resources to manga/anime-style?
>Also, I learn a lot from many random anatomy notes that I find on Twitter
Any recommendations?

Fun With a Pencil :)

You are my competition. I'm not telling you shit. Find out by yourself.

>>7591113
>How did you translate western resources to manga
you need to find an artist who draws in a manga style and study their work
preferably for an artist who posts anatomy studies for you to see how he simplifies the figure in a manga-ish way
I recommend studying this guy's work

Also check his facebook acc and youtube videos

lol

>>7591126
why wouldn't you want more non-trannoid artists in the world?

>>7591861
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so fucking bad at measurements and ratios and proportions even with a reference.

Honest to god I don't see how people can even draw stuff like this.

>>7594842
seems ite 2 me?

>>7574003
cheers fellow birdfag

>>7573672 (OP)
in my humble opinion
- stevie (michael) hampton
- erik olson (perspective is king)
- some of moderndayjames' videos
- johnny hardesty

>>7597249
I like your birds.

>>7597255
thank you anon; i only put the drawings because OP seems to be asking about lineart and drawing, i have a few painted ones i like more but didnt want to add to the first post to not "contaminate" the recommendation

amazing thread. truly blind leading the blind.

>>7573796
>>7573923
every time i see someone emphatically recommend drawabox, they draw like a clueless child. really makes you think about the quality of the course if this is the artists it produces. absolutely repellent.

>>7587199
I’m not, just a prebeg anon. Sinix vids are pretty good though, very great rendering advice especially the triangle trick to put down shades

>>7597325
>truly blind leading the blind.
Every time I see this comment it’s another schizo kvetching without being helpful. If you have nothing useful to add go back to tracing toilets.

>>7594842
I like to simplify the body with the rule of halves, see picrel.
Once I learned the basic proportions and where everything is supposed to be, it clicked better for me. I obviously do a lot of mistakes, but you can always correct everything afterwards. These were supposed to be fast gestures drawings.
Continue with references, don't give up.
What helped me was :
Life Drawing for Artists (Chris Legaspi) and Hide Channel (for the simplification)
Figure Drawing for all it's worth (Andrew Loomis) (for hammering basics proportions in my head)
Stonehouse Anatomy (Junghyun Seok) to understand how basics things works.

>>7597581
its funny too because these measurements can change based off of what proportions ur going with be it super hero, fashion etc

GOD hips are so fucking hard to draw

>>7598124
Yea, it's difficult. Plus you have to consider the fact that a lot of these parts like the pelvis are tilted, and you have to actually bend the limbs and stuff in perspective

>>7598281
>Yea, it's difficult.
at first it is yes indeed!

>>7598124
I'm just saying that you can work with a basic mannequin and then adjust from there with the help of references. If you know where things are in relation to each others, use references (measuring roughly by eyes, taking in consideration the negative space) and simplify everything, you will have a solid base.

>>7598371
yeah i got that, i just didnt want any /beg/s reading to think that each character's proportions has to be the same

>>7591118
what a fun artstyle!

>>7598354
Still not easy for me, unfortunately. I've been drawing a bit every day for half a year, and I keep having trouble with hips.

I struggle with everything really, though. Another big thing is bending limbs correctly

>>7600982
what have you tried in terms of getting them hips down?

>>7574003
Is this AI assisted? Looks a bit odd

>>7605788
You needed AI to keep your rotting brain from melting away while typing out this bs.

>>7605788
what makes you think that
