I found that if you ignore the images, read what he says, imagine what he says, and THEN look at his drawings- and THEN draw them- you’ll understand his methods a lot better.
fuck I speak spanish...
@@buckyplace356 but why are you speaking english if you speak spanish dude

Except I don't understand what the man is saying half the time, his vocabularies are beyond me man. I have to search up each and every new word, feels like I'm learning english not anatomy. However, despite this I will keep going, because I actually have nothing else to do right now....
Man, everyone is saying how I should "practice figure by simplifying it into boxes" but you are the only person on youtube who actualy gave me a reason to, because obviously if I just draw boxes whole day I will only improve at primitive form and perspective (which I did) but I would never learn to draw what I actualy want: realistic looking people and animals, your more complex organic forms as a next step after boxes are EVERYTHING I ever wanted to learn abouf form and you explained it all perfectly, great job!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I think my latest figure drawing video is a good follow up to this one that integrates all these methods of figure drawing together. You're 100% right that if you only draw box people you'll get stuck there, but I think it has some valuable info when placing figures in perspective
@@ModernDayJames Can Bridgman's principles also be applied to animals?
@@renatashp It can but you’d have to adapt it for animal anatomy
PLEASE DONT STOP WITH THIS SERIES!
PLEEEEASE Don’t stop this series, your knowledge on his thought process is so valuable.
Your cps is on
Background music :
Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers
Thanks, now I notice the BGM.
Good man!
Thank you
It's difficult to go through this series because I'm 50% filled with enthusiasm and instantly want to apply all of this to drawings, 50% bursting with anticipation to find out what's taught in the next video (haha)
You should buy the books yourself and study them no doubt it would improve your drawing
@@taraishot100 They may not be able to, this series is free and helpful especially for beginner artists
Me: picks up brigdeman
Also me: gets utterly confused

@@bluebeetly8119 sorry to keep you waiting I had to do quite a lot of homework and I forgot. Enjoy it though!
woah woah woah this was ssooo helpful thanks
Ya helpful here too
hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about anatomy of the body parts try Laophiaa Cranial Blueprint (search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.
Hey wassup!
woah wait how did i not see this
How are you not verified yet
Oh by the way you dropped this 👑
i hear your voice in my dreams.
Ha, gae

Nooo. I think he meant that he watches this like midnight or every night so he was dreaming about it because he frequently watches his video before he sleeps. It happens to me sometimes
This video helped me so much, I always struggle with drawing the body, especially with making the body look 3 dimensional.
I should really pick up this book sometime.
Great video!
Really glad you're picking up Bridgeman and honing that gesture/form that Proko is known for teaching. The best of both worlds: constructional and gestural.
I love the nutcracker playing in the background. These figures have a great flow as if they are dancing.
When I started using the Bridgman CONSTRUCTIVE ANATOMY book many years ago to teach myself human anatomy, my drawings of the figure (out of my head) improved tremendously! (This is before I had ever done any life drawing.) I later had a drawing instructor whose father had studied with Bridgman.
I discovered your channel because of the Draftsman podcast on Proko and wow this is rich content! It feels very clear and concise and I really appreciate the structure the videos have. I really feel like I can follow along and study and as an artist that was raised as a homeschooler this is extremely valuable.
From time to time I come back here to refresh my Bridgman understanding. I have more than one of his books but I found your lessons a lot more pleasant and engaging than going back to the books themselves. It's a pity you're not doing this kind of lessons anymore
keep uploading videos like this one, James. They are really helpful
I worked through one of his books and really felt like I'd made some progress, must go back to that. Thanks present times Jim!
Congrats ! Very approacheable video. I remember drawing lessons the first year of fine arts being super confused trying to draw not very good copies of classic sculptures, and totally failing at looking at the strcutre over the detail. Drawing should start here. And bridgeman is insane.
Great video! It has been so long since I've read Bridgman's constructive drawing, I got a copy when I decided that I wanted to pursue art as a career, back then the book was a bit on the overwhelming side for a self taught beginner like me, now seeing this video the content makes a lot of sense! Thanks for putting this tutorial together! : )
Dude you're skills and style and everything is like my biggest inspiration. Obviously this comment is outside of the actual focus of the study of bridgeman but just having gone through many of your videos and how you have adopted many of the skills of the masters and able to apply it with absolute precision in your own way, just blows my mind and what I have always aspired to achieve from many of those same masters. You are a true moderndaymaster James. Thanks for what you provide I'm always astonished in amazement.
it's nice to see someone explain Bridgman. I stumbled across his "Constructive Anatomy" years ago and asap got my hands on "Drawing from Life". All of my peers would always suggest Loomis, which is a good resource too, but I was always more drawn to Bridgman. And as far as getting this info from a college, fuh gedah a 'bout it...
Bridgman's book is amazing. I still refer to it more than twenty years after and I still learn from it. Thanks for this video, it's a great commentary!
I got this book from my local bookstore a few weeks ago. Was utterly confused but at least this video cleared some parts up for me. Really Helpful!
Thanks for rekindling my motivation to continue with bridgman. You're killing it in this one mdj.
damn I whish English was my first language. I mean learning to draw is already hard bur reading and try to understand this book is nightmare.. So thanks for deciphering it for me!
Same bro
I feel you bro...but for me its more difficult coz I can't even speak good Englinsh in normal convo. I'm doomed
Twiskus der Große You type English well.
yeah bruh
English is my first language and it still makes no sense
this was a very insightful video, i've owned this book for a long time, but I've never been able to interpret bridgman's style. as a person still learning, bridgman was super confusing, but this video did help with how to look at his work. Thank you!
Coming to this video as a student that once took art classes. I’ve had some past experience studying anatomy, doing live drawings of models and still lifes, even using bones and other objects for reference. But as someone who hasn’t drawn human anatomy in a long time, this purchase, and videos related to the subject, are a great refresher. I’m no Leonardo, but as someone who considers themselves an experienced intermediate, I always appreciate videos as a visual aid, especially if paired with books and other materials.
Brilliant - I've seen quite a few vids on Bridgman, many seem to make it more, not less, complex. I love your take on his work. Bravo.
Ive been looking for this video!
This is simply amazing, I got the grasp of muscle position and their interactions and I can get nice drawings of individual limbs or similar single body parts but still it's a struggle with combining them in a complete drawing, it helps so much when you have a method to follow for improving. Tanks a lot
This is probably one of the most helpful video's i've seen on YT for artists thank you
my fav art youtuber and my fav artistic anatomy book!! mind blown
Wow! You are an incredible artist! Sincerely, my brother, you've put the effort in to practice and it really shows. Absolutely superb. Liked and favourited. Great stuff thank you for making this video.
I've been struggling for a while with adding a sense of form to the body and I've been unsure how to remedy that, I think Bridgman might be the answer I was looking for.
This is the first vid I’ve seen of yours, definitely subscribing, this was really helpful and informative. Definitely seeing about buying that book
Why do your drawings look so nice? I really can't describe it, but the lines have such a pleasing quality about them.
Gracias a ti por grabar el video, siempre es bueno facilitar la idea de como hacer las cosas, más para un artita, suerte en todo.
I think the book 'bridgeman drawing from life' is really useful and James explains the principles well. I previously had the bridgemen constructive anatomy and although a helpful reference it misses the vital information that helped me tie it all together.
your channel is a gemstone bro, thanks for all this content, will be checking out your gumroad series soon.
Nice really love that textured background behind the sketch it looks so appealing as compared to the plain white one
Ufff mucha inspiración en un vídeo, necesito mas gracias hermano!
Your drawings are better than many artists I love your channel, teaching method and approach to drawings.
Awesome, thank you.
Thanks for this video! I've been studying Bridgeman for years and I still find him a bit confusing at times.
Thank you!
asking yourself why every single line is there is a good way to study these drawings. beautiful line work.
Really good stuff you got here, simple, direct, to the point, no fluff, substantial content. Thanks.
This is exactly the video I needed right now! Thank you so much!!
GREAT choice of music, perfect for the figure drawing! Excellent video
Good vid! Bridgeman is godsent when I start overthinking anatomy.
at first i thought this series is too complicated for my smol brain but after studying the book myself and going through a lot of confusion then going back to this, my mind is blown how good this series explained it
Thanks for this video! You're inspiring me
I love your use of music. Thanks for abridging this book for us
This is literally what I needed after purchasing bridgman’s book, PLEASE keep up with the series
FINALLY SOMEONE TRIES TO BREAKDOWN AND EXPLAIN BRIDGMAN! THANK YOU MDJ. THANK YOU... *tears of joy*
God bless, Thank you!!! Prayer here when needed loves!
Him: draws so beautifully
Me: can't even draw a perfect square
wow... cant believe I missed this video of yours (being subbed fro quite a while now)
Anyways the first part about lines continuation is such an "aha" moment! For a while now I cant understand
why my gesture drawing looks so flat. Now I get it! Thank you thank you thank you
Your channel is gold, cant even describe this video benefit...
Cant wait to get to a paper and a pen and try it out!
Thank you (again)
that song at 7:13 is literally my trigger since that bath scene from What Remains of Edith Finch
Awesome video! I just wish you put the facial details as well because we sometimes tend to draw the head a bit differently when it's linked to a body or not
thank you for sharing. it's really helpful
Great video, AND with one of my favorite songs. Big win.
Thanks for understanding.
I find the aesthetic of Bridgeman’s figures and heads amazing. Emulating his technique is very challenging to me though. Takes a solid understanding of the anatomy to get Bridgeman IMO
I have ordered the book. But after seeing this and another TH-cam video I feel like I'm going to be scared to open it when it comes. To advanced! But I'm gonna get through it. Your video will be helpful! :)
Lordy this is extremely helpful! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi James! thank you for the video. How do you study this kind of books?
Thank you James. Is there any chance you have more related material and commentary you could put into a longer video? I’d happily pay for such.
Awesome. Exactly what I need right now.
One of my favorite of your videos! Keep it up!
George bridgemans book
was also my first book it took me 5 months to finish the book because i barely understood anything and the I dint even know what some words meant...
thaksfor that man!!! love this one
I always tell myself that I just need two anatomies for the artist: Bammes' "Gestalt des Menschen" for the technique and Bridgman for the rythm. With his techniques you get really nice and flowing gestures. Reminds me to look into the books once again ;)
Thanks to this video I buyed those books of Bridgman. Very useful
IMPRESIONANTE VIDEO!! Hace muchos años que estudio a Bridgman y este video me hubiera ahorrado 2 años XD!! LIKE + SHARE!!
Thank you moderndayjames! 🥺🥺
His book is only a dollar in Kindle format
OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH WOAHHH
Amazing series !!
this is very helpful!.. thank you. i will apply it!
Good video 👍🏼
Really cool and instructive video as always, I will buy the book too! Love the classic music ;)
i like classical music on background) thanks for lessons))
Hey, James thank you so much for this video. My question is, did you learn to draw these forms from the “George B Bridgman” book?
Wow you mentioned Sinix! You 2 are some of my favorite artubers
Cool video, the book is great.
This is a great series
Just out of curiousity, have you ever read Burne Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy or any of his other books? I have it and I was wondering what you thought.
I find Hogarths Approach in figure drawing and anatomy somewhat much more difficult. And all the text in his books are really what intimidates me the most. But the way he distribute and illustrates the muscle forms is quite interesting specially for comic book illustration. Its just you have to be somewhat a little bit advance in drawing im order to absord all the knowledges the book provides
Very relevant. Thanks.
Cool intro to what looks like a great book! Thanks :)
thanks for this.
i loved the tutorial, thank you
Thank you so much. Its just impossible to not order that book after watching this :D
Looking for a video like this for a while, TH-cam recommendations are sooooo late
This was Awesome!
Nice lesson, thank you, Bridgman's books are the best!
so nice...great presentation
mm helped me a lot, thanks🥺
I may be extremely frustrated but I’ll keep practicing!
Bridgeman can be a bit hard to digest... Thanks for this video, it helps!!
From 3:17 and onward I am sitting here going, "Wait... no stop... It's so beautiful I can't... wait what is that... IS THAT A LEG! It looks so good!"
I watched one video and immeadietly subscribed to him
