I feel totally ok that your videos might not be that teacher - student thing. Giving an insight in your learning process just works as well for a lot of us, I'm sure of it.
Continue with the coil technique if you feel comfortable with it. No need to mix it up unless you feel like you're not improving wit the technique you're using.
I don't use the coil technique anymore after I mastered perspective. No, I'm not here to show off or discourage you, just to let you know the importance of perspective.
Honestly this makes a lot of sense to me. I like to think I'm good with dynamic posing but the poses often frustrate me if I try to over complicate it by neck goes here, hands go here. I've had days where I just kind of scribbled and didn't fuss with things until the end and found it worked better. I know my proportions enough that I am going to give this a try, because I learned then for your videos, Proko and Andrew Loomis. Thanks again Sycra for saving my neck.
if you feel like a newb, you'll always feel like a newb. skill and practice are relative. and relative to basically everyone, you're amazing. I hope youre doing better, man
This has been suuuuper helpful man! I love it. It's just what I needed: a way to dumb down the figure to see the volumes while still having room to change it up when need be.
super coincidental that I stumbled onto this idea literally the same day this video was released. I actually was questioning whether it was a good practice or not as I struggle with dynamic poses as well. Thank you for the unexpected validation.
@@pezvonpez For sure, after 3 years of still drawing I ought to be better. I don't use this method always (I actually don't stick with any set method. It kinda depends on my mood) but this helps with adding and understanding volume.
Thanks this didn't really work for me, but I went to your older anatomy videos and practiced a lot and now I'm back here I was stagnating and wasn't really happy with my work but this really got me over that hump, thank you.
Glad to see your making tutorials again. I understand you are going through a learning process as of now but don't be afraid to share your journey even if you reverse your position on a certain method. I think I can confidently say we enjoy seeing your evolution, mishaps and all. It parallels our own development as artist and lets us know that it is okay to make mistakes or change your methods to continue to grow.
This video could not have come at a better time! as I am currently looking for ways to simplify the figure. I also just want to take opportunity to add that I have been watching a lot of your videos and they have really helped me get back into art again after not drawing for year! Thank you so much Sycra!Love, from South Africa.
Sycra, you are more than skilled enough to start your comic(s) you've been holding back on so long. Seriously. There are people with 10 years less experience than you who are publishing professionally. No matter what you're worried about - style changing during the course of the comic - art not being good enough to justify the great story - don't worry. You will always be dissatisfied with your current skill and you will always get better. If you don't start NOW, you never will.
I've probably been subscribed to you for around a decade at this point. Thanks to your vids, I've made significant strides as an artist. And this vid in particular is one I like to go back to every now and then, especially when I get lost in the weeds of details and anatomy, forgetting the fundamental flow of figure drawing and poses.
I needed to come back to say this is the single most important video to me in regards to drawing. After 2 years, this technique has helped me more than any other video on the internet.
This is the most helpful figure drawing tutorial for me; I've watched dozens in the last couple weeks. The magic of drawing the figure in this way, is that instead of first doing a gesture, then a stick figure, then blocking out volumes, this does the first three steps of a drawing all rolled into one. Therefore, the drawing retains it's rhythm lines and gestural movement qualities. I believe it feels and looks "fresher" and more animate for some artists to go about it this way. It is definitely suitable for my way of rendering as I'm sure it will be for many others. Perhaps, it is especially suitable for simpler, cartoon characters. There really is no need to divide the pelvis from the rib cage/upper torso. We have bodies which are essential bean shaped, or for skinnier people, sausage or hotdog shaped. As long as we know how we fold at the waist (mostly), these shapes will read well with the limbs attached to the sides. Very well done; excellent! BTW, I'd love it if you'd do one on simplifying drapery/cloth (apologies if you already have -- I shall look for it).
thank you! I've been painting nearly all my life (it's a family thing) but I never had the skill of drawing. I've been watching your tutorials for the last 5 months and I just completely filled a big sketch book -- this is a big deal for me because I've bought a lot of sketch books in my life but never once used the whole thing -- until now. I'm putting in the mileage, I'm working on faces and hands and bodies. I can, for the first time, draw stuff out of my head. All thanks to your tutorials! thank you so much! My favorite words are "hey everybody, Sycra Yasin here..."
I think combining the two methods would achieve the best of both worlds. Similar to that first sketch of the guy with his hands on his back. Drawing in the ribs and the pelvis shape seemed to lend for a more accurate figure while still being dynamic and interesting.
This is so helpful! I have always done the box/shapes method that people tell you to do and my pictures are so stiff and boring, I can't wait to try your technique!
I have been in a semi-artist block for years due to trying to make poses look dynamic and watching this I feel like it's finally starting to click. Thank you so much
I miss your tutorials. But most importantly. For long time now i've been thinking that i need to find my own method of learning that something might work someone else might not work for me. Now that artist who is better and doing this for living says the same thing gave me confidence that i was right to think so and don't have doubts about things im doing =) Thanks Sycra. Hopefully ill see your tutorials in near future again
This, man. This is the missing piece. This has helped me wrap my mind around conveying energy and motion. Thank you so, so much dude. Keep sharing what you know. Subscribed
Does Sycra teach anything else besides art? Whether he knows it or not, his style of teaching something leans toward mindful learning, which may be key to learning anything creative. Introducing a technique and then encouraging a student to customize, change, and adopt it to their style helps them learn faster than telling them, "this is how you do this". I'll be watching more videos from him; absolutely amazing teacher.
Learned a similar aspect in drawing and perspective, but was described as contour lines that implicated the volume of an object. Very good lesson to understand if you are trying to have more organic and fluent poses.
I found this video at the end of 2019 and began applying it and let me be honest it helped me both save time and get better with poses and anatomy. Thank you for this one Sycra.
One of the most useful and concise videos I have seen in a long time. I have been looking for information on getting started to make this transformation you talk about.
you are an huge inspiration, your videos are inspiring and motivating me and im really grateful you take your tme to make videos like this! ur videos give me somewhat like a path to try out new stuff in art and make me realize how many ways you can actually go with, thank you
I have always been in-awe of drawers/ painters artists, like the purist creative gift from god , watching you draw was amazing thank you, what a treat, bless you dear man xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I've always loved your approach to these tutorials. Not sure why but it seems like your way of teaching speaks directly to the way I think. Don't take it the wrong way but it almost feels like you are a constant beginner, trying to find the shortcuts to getting great results and writing them down, even giving them cool names. Coil technique, lightning bolt, pointy chins, simplified anatomy, ... Most great artists seem to be unable to really explain what they are doing without going into the ether. You on the other hand are like this guy sitting next to you in class who draws better than you and still you can easily copy from and learn a ton. Again, not sure if I'm making myself clear but basically, thanks.
I have been on and off with drawing for a really long time. Lots i want to do, and i'm suffering trying to think of poses and things to draw. In one really quick sloppy drawing, I felt SO much better using this method over trying to box in a stick figures. Great process and thank you so much. I'm really gonna play around with this to the max.
you kept repeating at the end i hope this helps and i can proudly say YES IT HELPS IT HELPS A LOT THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND GOOD LUCK WITH LEARNING AND WORKING ON THIS SORT OF NEW TEHNIQUE ITS AWESOME!
Thanks for the tutorial, I feel like I tried too hard to make other methods work for me when I should try to put more time into figuring out what actually works for me.
Years ago Ive been drawing with the same technique. 2 days ago Ive drawn with circles. 1 DAY ago i started practising boxes bodies. Now this appeared and I thought.... Damn. This is way easier than anything!
This was definitely a helpful tutorial on how to approach drawing dynamic poses! Your explanations connected to the drawings and the reasons why your method works for you had artistic logic behind it that I could follow. Thank you for the informative video!
You always have a tutorial out whenever I need help with something! I've been trying to break away from being too analytical with drawing, especially with figures. Thank you for your good timing since I started 5 years ago!
13:05, so profound. But it isn't really something to be worried about, right? Everyone once was that "someone, who can't do anything". And you are so inspiring. I was thinking that I'm not going to do anything else today, but now I wanna draw. Thank you so much, keep it up.
Hey Sycra, don't worry so much about knowing everything to teach us all. Just watching you draw helps certain things just click into place. Been curious for like a week why my art has been looking funny, than bam! I see you draw a neck in your initial sketch and I realized I started drawing short stumpy necks. Thanks for the great vids, don't be so hard on yourself.
hey sycra :) i dont think that you are going to read this but if you do, thank you. I learned from you how to draw 2 years ago. I am now attening an art school and I am really thankfull for all you have done. again, thanks have a nice day :)
Thank you so much for those videos man! No idea why you still sound so insecure about your stuff, but to me you're a god! Its insane how easily you can come up with those shapes, have correct perspective, etc... just wow.
Thank you for this. I've been struggling to simplify a dynamic pose and most artist used the stick figure method which never worked for me. This is method fits better for me. ❤
Thanks for the new video! I've really missed seeing your tutorials in my sub box. After going so long without watching your videos I've found even my digital sketching has become different. for so many years I took inspiration from you by having a really thin sketching brush in a lower opacity so that it darkens in the places I add more refinement but now I've taken to thicker brushes where I erase to add details. In regards to the poses thing, I still can't quite come up with my own poses that have strong foreshortening or that twist the body a lot, but I did end up coming across the more bubble like armatures rather than the stick figure ones, same as you. I'm excited for you to continue to discover this sort of thing and I always manage to find something useful in any of your videos. I have to say I miss the critiques the most though.
Reminds me of fashion illustration! At the start of the video I thought I had tried something like it shapes wise but it messed w my perspective making it flat and uneven, you're very right about the importance of knowing anatomy... It definitely is a good laying down technique, I suppose it's something you have to get comfortable with
omg this is amazingly helpful sycra! it's basically what I see all the big name cartoonists do, but you broke it down in a way that just clicked for me automatically! need to really buckle down and learn anatomy tho.🐸
This technique is pretty much awesome! Thanks for making this tutorial dude! Until now i have a trouble in making such a dynamic pose and by trying your trick it become much more simpler! Once again thanks for your guidance dude, this trick certainly works pretty well for me!
thank you so much for this tutorial! i have been trying to make more dynamic poses for the last month and this video made it easy for me to sketch out ideas and put movement and interest into my characters! thank you.
I am planning to learn how to draw and I really enjoy watching your videos and I can't wait to grow up so I can support you ! And by the way I downloaded your videos to watch them on my way back from school :D and I'm glad that I found your channel 😻
I haven't drawn in a while, but I really liked the moment of 3:52 when you showed that quick fun spiral perspective sketch out.. I found it really exciting :) I'll have to pick up the pen!
really, really great tutorial, love it, art can be such a struggle to define what I want to say to the viewer, but really when it comes down to it , I think of it I guess it's what am I trying to see, and explore myself, which at times seems endless.
I love your channel and videos, as a fellow analytical artist. while I try to figure it out myself, your knowledge is very helpful in addition to my own. (you also made me decide to do some basic anatomy research and practice.)
Yooooo, it is good to hear your voice again - even if it sounds a little bit different. Also, it is cool how you came up with that new technic. I must say, I have been doing something similar for some time already, but it is cool to see other people's take on it too! That head torso relationship thing, though, yep, that surely will help - I would usually go for head > shoulders > arms, and only then, torso. Thanks Sycra! We all really missed you! - but really, yeah, don't worry about making videos, do what you think is the best and focus in improving yourself /o/
This is very helpful!! My figures would generally be decently proportioned, but pretty stiff :/ tested this method and it's definitely going somewhere for me! I'm glad you're figuring stuff out & I'm excited to see what comes out of it.
I've learned this from a other artist b4 but didn't rly work out because he didn't teach us to put the circles in the shape. Glad u talked Abt that. Thx as always
Actually an intresting way of thinking : "I need to let my brain to not bothering that much with details to make it as ditalized as I wanted" . That was hell of a genius .
oh man, this is fucking weird, a couple of days before I was searching for this video, I swear I did seen it in my sleep when dreaming, but I couldn't find it in your channel, now this pops out? holy crap, anyway, this does feel like a complete dinamic posing tutorial, nice and simple, good job as always dude.
Sharing your way to do the things is always a good way to teach us a new thing. I use the stick figure method to draw, but now I will start with more of those loose lines too ^^ maybe using both lol idk.. Let's see if it will work for me ^^ thanks for the tutorial!
![My Full Sketching Process! ✒️How I draw Poses for my Anime Work [Clip Studio Paint]](/img/n.gif)
I feel totally ok that your videos might not be that teacher - student thing. Giving an insight in your learning process just works as well for a lot of us, I'm sure of it.
CharlesBr0ns0n sure as hell works for me
FINALLY. DUDE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CHECKED YOUR CHANNEL TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T MISS A TUTORIAL?!
mae? its that you?
Turn yer notifs on
Waited for a tutorial for ages and my prayers have been answered
yussss
his tutorials r the best
dosent fel to complex
dosent feel super simplified and shortned and limited
just when I finally mastered the coil technique, this comes out..
Continue with the coil technique if you feel comfortable with it. No need to mix it up unless you feel like you're not improving wit the technique you're using.
Carol Goerge yeah like he said do what works for you
I do a mixture and I recommend doing that. :)
I know it's late but still xD
I don't use the coil technique anymore after I mastered perspective. No, I'm not here to show off or discourage you, just to let you know the importance of perspective.
Honestly this makes a lot of sense to me. I like to think I'm good with dynamic posing but the poses often frustrate me if I try to over complicate it by neck goes here, hands go here.

Brain: *creates a master tier idea for a drawing that reflects beauty it self*

Stephen Clark same. Started working this way about a week ago, and it's kinda cool to see that it's not such a weird practice.
@@pezvonpez For sure, after 3 years of still drawing I ought to be better. I don't use this method always (I actually don't stick with any set method. It kinda depends on my mood) but this helps with adding and understanding volume.
its very interesting to see how you're getting better with your intuition
Thanks this didn't really work for me, but I went to your older anatomy videos and practiced a lot and now I'm back here I was stagnating and wasn't really happy with my work but this really got me over that hump, thank you.

If you have trouble dealing with volumes when it comes to drawing forms instead of shapes, I still prefer gesture and 3D shapes combined

Dynamic poses are something I've been struggling with for ages. This helps me SO MUCH
**when you’re actually a beginner and use the stick figure method**
...
Lol
Ikr
I’m so glad that I’ve gotten better, the stick figure method made my poses so stiff
@@jemberlou What did you do to get better? Im at the stick gesture level and its so frustrating stiff
I have always been in-awe of drawers/ painters artists, like the purist creative gift from god , watching you draw was amazing thank you, what a treat, bless you dear man xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I've tried this so many times but I've never really understood how to take it and make it useful, thanks for this demonstration!

So glad to hear you're working on improving yourself!! It's great to see a new tutorial from you. :)
you are a godsend holy cow *-* this technique feels so much more natural than what I used to do!!!!
even if your vids were small tidbits as you learn yourself like this, it's immeasurably helpful!

This video helped my artistic spirit more than anything, and I mean that in the best way possible. Many thanks, Sycra!
what a nice thing to have you... it makes me improve a lot, you are a great teacher my man
This has expanded my thoughts on drawing and how i should look at poses,
Thank you very much Sycra!
OMG
FINALLY
AN EASIER WAY OF DRAWING DYNAMIC POSES
THANK YOU
Thank you for this. I've been struggling to simplify a dynamic pose and most artist used the stick figure method which never worked for me. This is method fits better for me. ❤

Glad to see you are back! I was super surprised when I saw your notification :D Great tutorial, I have been struggling with dynamic poses lately
you are perfectly right. it helps me a lot too; i use this to solve the problem of proportions i have when drawing poses; that really good.
That did help! Just being able to see your process gives me ideas

I love your channel and videos, as a fellow analytical artist. while I try to figure it out myself, your knowledge is very helpful in addition to my own. (you also made me decide to do some basic anatomy research and practice.)
THANK YOU! I missed your videos soooo much! Love your channel, it helps me in many ways. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are awesome!
Yooooo, it is good to hear your voice again - even if it sounds a little bit different. Also, it is cool how you came up with that new technic. I must say, I have been doing something similar for some time already, but it is cool to see other people's take on it too! That head torso relationship thing, though, yep, that surely will help - I would usually go for head > shoulders > arms, and only then, torso. Thanks Sycra! We all really missed you! - but really, yeah, don't worry about making videos, do what you think is the best and focus in improving yourself /o/
U are a blessing I swear ur anatomy videos are Extremely helpful! Thank u so much for ur explanation !!❤❤
This is very helpful!! My figures would generally be decently proportioned, but pretty stiff :/ tested this method and it's definitely going somewhere for me! I'm glad you're figuring stuff out & I'm excited to see what comes out of it.
This is actually REALLY COOL! Imma try this new stuff you teach!
Oh my God I've missed these so much
HE'S ALIVE
Sycra you helped me so much,I'm really grateful for your tutorials!
I've learned this from a other artist b4 but didn't rly work out because he didn't teach us to put the circles in the shape. Glad u talked Abt that. Thx as always
This technique is by far the best for form/poses drawing. It actually make drawing more simpler that stick figure or coil...for me anyway.
Missed your art videos, nice to have them again! :D
I really like using the triangle shapes so much better thanks for the tips
Welcome back my good fellow! Keep it up! You are The Man
Actually an intresting way of thinking : "I need to let my brain to not bothering that much with details to make it as ditalized as I wanted" . That was hell of a genius .
oh man, this is fucking weird, a couple of days before I was searching for this video, I swear I did seen it in my sleep when dreaming, but I couldn't find it in your channel, now this pops out? holy crap, anyway, this does feel like a complete dinamic posing tutorial, nice and simple, good job as always dude.
I remember i would do something similar to this. Blocking in the general shape of the pose helped position things.
Sharing your way to do the things is always a good way to teach us a new thing. I use the stick figure method to draw, but now I will start with more of those loose lines too ^^ maybe using both lol idk.. Let's see if it will work for me ^^ thanks for the tutorial!
needed this one. nice man.
