- UPDATE: "Draw Better Portraits Through the Study of Anatomy" my new full portrait anatomy course is finally here! app.gumroad.co...
Here is an example of a great exercise for getting better at figure drawing using the Reilly Abstraction (aka Reilly Method) for the figure. I learned this in art school at Watts Atelier a few years ago.

**THANK YOU** all for watching and subscribing!!! We made it to 70K today this morning!! I'm so crazy excited and I appreciate you guys SO MUCH. Thank you
I will be making more finished figure drawing videos soon but most won't be able to be post on TH-cam as they usually block, or in my case, demonetize nude drawing videos. I will be starting up a Patreon page soon to post these videos and give access to these types of drawing videos and photo references for cheap. I've been super busy with day job lately and been rethinking my life. I'm working towards a goal of doing this channel and Patreon full time one day. Oh man it's going to be so AWESOME when I quit my j-o-b

Love your method, especially the fact that you make mistakes and correct them. Makes for great instruction and easier to learn.
Thank you! I think it’s important not to edit it out. Trying to draw is like stumbling towards beauty

This is very helpful. Thank you so much. I was just starting to get into figure drawing too. Also, can you please make some more videos on head lay-ins and take them up to 2 value stage? And focus more on teaching how to map the shadows, please? I am currently following jeff watts videos and I don't understand 70 % on how he is mapping the shadows. So can you please do a tutorial on that one?
Great idea! Thank you! Jeff is super fast and probably the best draftsman on earth lol. I had the same issue and I think it’s because my anatomy knowledge is far less than his. He has built up such a vast store of anatomy knowledge that he can fly through the mapping process hitting all the muscle insertion points, bone prominences and muscle shapes. I’m much much slower lol but I will try my best to explain what I’m doing when mapping in shadows next time. Thanks again for checking out the video! I really appreciate it!
I'm crossing over from photography so understand 0% of what your saying.

Man you really made this whole concept so approachable, so grateful for your work.
Excellent video. I struggle a lot when it comes to drawing figures particularly around the hip area - really nice to see an in-depth reilly method video for figures.
Those hips are so difficult I agree! Drawing them can drive me 🥜🥜🥜

the riley abstraction seems to neglect lines of motion and spacial position in favor of relative position of stuff
The head length measurement. Is one part of life drawing I learned. I would go about the same way in life drawing classes when I drew of a real life model.
I don't normally comment on things, I'm quiet. However. I really feel the need to express how helpful this is for me. Thank you so so so so so so much for taking the time to make this and putting it up for free!!!! Your commentary and explaination while calculating the figure is exactly what I've been looking for and struggling to find. I'll look into this method more, it fits me much better than Bridgman (no offense to his fans of course). You are amazing and I love you!!!! :)
You start a Patreon, I'm there. I enjoy watching you draw and explain your thinking. I can also tell you really enjoy drawing which is a huge plus!
Hell yah! Lol thanks man! 😃

A very helpful video, thank you! But you might want to clean up your audio a little. Its not hard to do, but makes a huge difference for those of us using high quality headsets. You'll help even more people then :)
You are the best channel on yt right now! Keep posting, brother :D
Aw man that’s so nice Thank you! I’ll keep going! You guys keep me posting... I seriously appreciate you guys!

This video is great. I have been doodling my whole life but for the last few weeks every day I've spent a few hours focusing on videos to improve, this is a channel that has helped a lot thank you.
This tutorial was so helpful! Can you please do a video on male figures with this method too? I really wanna learn figure drawing, thanks for these 1 hour long videos again!!

Brad, thank you so much for sharing the Reilly method on these practical examples, long time expected, really. Btw, a mistake makes it more difficult to forget, so even thank you for the confusion on the angle of the knee hehe. Take care!
HAHAHA, in my face! (Ignore my last comment on your prior upload! 🤘🤣)
23:20 "so feet are... pain in the ass" true word is spoken
Very. Fine. Useful. Videos. Thanks. 👌☝
Me @28:00 : Wait... what?
Me @28:15 : Ahh... (feeling less of a noob than I really am) =D
Thanks for a great video.
as always the art and advice is amazing, but my friend, PLEASE STRAIGHEN THOSE PAINTINGS IN THE BG D:]
Everything is excellent except the sound the pencil. It's just me, I can feel it in my teeth. Nevertheless thank you for sharing this.
Oh man thanks for letting me know. I’m going to try a different mic on the next video.
Oh no! I loved the pencil sounds D: so rough and scratchy I can feel him dragging that pencil it's so satisfying! :)
I love the sound of the pencil. It's so relaxing.
I loved the scratching pencil sounds... it's like ASMR and education on the same time :)

Whenever I draw female figures I fear that I make the hips too wide and I always mess up so this is very helpful.
Hi Brad. Nice to meet you.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how you work. You are absolutely GREAT! I draw for a simple passion but I am learning small, big things about how to approach a portrait or more commonly a face. This is thanks to you. I am truly grateful to you for the great videos you share, as well as your experience. I don't speak English very well and I apologize, but I believe that in this kind of thing, as in many others, it is not necessary to know the language but the approach that an artist like you is able to convey even to the layman. Thank you so much. P. S. I bought Loomis's book and, I'm sure, I will benefit from it. My goal is to make portraits of all my wonderful family. Sorry if I disturbed. Thank you again. A fraternal hug.
This revolutionized my art.
I would've thought shadow's would've come first to help find angles.
really cool method and all but I feel like you can do the same thing way faster with a more simplistic method and some experience. Seems overboard like architecture drawing methods or something like it, a little overkill.
Brother saludos desde Venezuela, hermano ese manera que usted tiene de dibujar es todo un fenómeno he aprendido mucho de usted, gracias por su paciencia y la manera de dar a entender los trazos al dibujar.
Oh, really cool to find a Venezuelan here. Greetings from Barinas. jajaj
@@Tcrafta Saludos mi pana.

Great vid!
But it's hard to find tutorials/demos of finished figure drawings. I wonder why that is.
初手、達人の顔
Thank you. Excellent
This reilly thing is useless. You never can not draw a figurette with reilly method make no sense. A little better is loomis figure.
Nice
99% of adult human females are a even 7 head spaces in height including tall women...8 heads are male
Very helpful,thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And thanks for checking it out!!

You are tha best🤟🤟🤟👌👌give a side figure drawing video
Can you please do a video on how you get accurate measurements from measurements from references?
Yeah goes back to religion first they create a problem and how lucky we are that they can fix it
That was great to follow. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Your flub with the construction lines in the leg was funny to me because after all these years after learning that same thing same in multiple classes, I still can't remember the orientation. Take care.
Yo It is already some time since I have been in Watts Atelier but man, your videos are great! Keep it up man :)
Thanks Adam! Did we sit next to each other on head drawing class?
@@bradwynn Ye man and we had one painting class together on Zorn palette with Erik. Great times and your work was always really good! Your videos are very cool how you can explain stuff man, pretty sure Jeff would be proud :)
draw body th-cam.com/video/_03tN94oMsA/w-d-xo.html
This is great but if anyone is seeing this comment he is not pushing the figure enough and it comes off as stiff. study the negative space and flip the canvas early please
Please anybody give me, reilly method book pdf ?
Really cool, thanks. Will follow along to train up!
Body proportions and measurements please and measurements of the papers please...
I love this method! Seems super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Brad, I watch your channel and other portrait artist channels.
I'm a portrait/ human body artist too. I've also did the human body in sculptures.
I'm 77 years old and I've done a lot of bone structures over my years.
Your drawing of girl with flower on her body. It bothers me. . . left breast is to high for the shape of her right b cage. Blessings.
As the photographer and gluer of flowers, I can assure you the model was symmetrical! 🤣 (I hope you like the image.)
Brother you people r doing extraordinary effort. Em not like you
Never seen the construction so clearly, can't wait to exercise by my own, thanks, very helpful.
u look like the Harvey Dent girlfriend in batman the dark knight
This is asmr. Wanted to focus but it just made me more sleepy
Cool, man. Love your tutorials, Brad. yOU ARE AN EXCELLANT ARTIST. 😊
i use pencil measure for everything i swear its so useful for stuff tho i almost never think in terms of heads i go by pencil lengths reletive to my first few reference lines i draw at like the shoulder and hips so its proportional regardless
First ten minutes into the video and i am like dammnnn where were you sir !!
thanks for leaving your mistake in - good way for us all to remember it
So embarrassing 😂

Is there any book for the Reilly method??? Dude your videos have the best content for the practice of drawing human figure! You rock bro
There’s a great book by awesome artist Kan Muftic called Figure Drawing for Concept Artists. You can find on Amazon. Great book on using Reilly method and other important figure drawing concepts

Dude, you are good looking. You're a good looking man...
This is so helpful. It really has made my life so much easier. I need loads of practice but it's great I have this base. Thank you so much for sharing these. Don't stop! I lived in San Diego for three years and I was living in Carlsbad right next to Encinitas. I wish I knew Watts existed back then I would of gone religiously!
Luv your carpet bc it looks like iranian carpet
Pretty elaborate preparatory sketch; it Works, but I simply
use ovals for the arms, and legs, and basic egg shapes for
the head. But a very good technique you use, none the less.
Good work.
Do you have something on "Anatomical Perspective?"
More reilly method exercises plss🙏🙏🙏
I really liked the last woman pic, the anatomy, beauty and rhythm were amazing. Great tutorial!
Hello, mr. artist!!! Thanck you for this fine video and you are very nise person!!!🤗
You ruined my mind when you did the legs the opposite. I thought I had lost my mind, then I stared and waited. Lol for the turnaround.
hi ..you are amazing your videos helped me a lot your face drawings and this figure drawings..thank u so much for uploading the videos. please make videos on sitting poses on different angles thank u.😍😍😍
It's very interesting to watch, and I enjoy the explanations because the popular books on Reilly (and lets face it, most Art text books) are pretty awful. I'm wondering if you kind of develop a shorthand for this, because working this way is too slow to produce art on a deadline -- or is the point just to reinforce base structure, form, etc?
Even more beautiful than the reallity
fantastic, realy fantastic, everything seen so far was good, but this explanation has helped massively, no matter if your knees are looking in the wrong direction ;-)
Wondering what class did you have to learn all the locations of the muscles Origin and insertions, bones, joints? Your the first person I had come across with an art and muscle bone background.
I had heard from one of my teacher she had to with her advanced degree. Though she also pointed out what use to be required is much higher than it is now days.
I learned mine in my Kinesiology, Biology, Physical Therapy Assistance and several Personal Trainer certifications. Each at varying degrees. The lower arms and lower legs being the most detailed of classes.
It's nice to see others who know the body as such.
It was very interesting to see your way of drawing.
However you draw the lower legs very elongated, it looks more like a comic/manga character rather than the actual model. Her calves are thicker/more muscular in the reference photo, too.
The chest of the first and third model are both thicker, the shoulders wider. Since you drew smaller shoulders, the arms look manga-like with the elbows facing unnaturally inwards.
And the second and third models' boobs are not on the same level, the right one is way too high up there. (use the shoulder's line, they should match)
Also the knees on the third model. Ok this one really bothers me because in your drawings each thigh should be the same length, so the knees shouldn't be on the same line. The right one is supposed to be lower.
That said... you can still draw much, much, much better than I can, and I enjoyed the video. It just... bothered me because you were so serious about the thigh muscles, and then fudged the boobs. (But it was still leagues better than what I can do.)
I want to learn the upper body anatomy of male and female
Nice
knees down ankles up, gotcha
Very useful vedio. But little confusion about measurement. If you don't mind Pl mention measurement of full length separately
He underestimated the gesture building in the mistakes to pack on masses after. He puts himself out there tho. So no judgement. I’m getting a refresher from him anyway.
Cómo siempre Genialllll gracias
I suppose i have nothing new to add here other than i concur with all the best comments! I think i have drawn through all of your videos with the exception of your pops and Jimi Hendrix
Ur using a Persian carpet, right? Anyway good job
never saw any of your videos before. start of the video:
- zoom in on booba
- massive scar
- looks like Cable from Deadpool
my body is ready
I just have to laugh. I try to draw I guess and it was pretty good I thought till I watched you dude lol your absolutely amazing man and its great fun watching you work 😊
On the first photo, you put the hip in a wrong position with the overlay photo. You can clearly see on the reference photo the iliac crest line and oblique above it. You place it above the said oblique. :(
It's really helpful,
It's awesome rythym line practice
Thanks for all your help...
every artist I listened says acromion wrong, there are two structures with similar names, one is acromion and the other is coracoid process. Acromion comes from the spine of scapula, on the lateral end. Coracoid process comes from the ventral part (frontal) and placed more medially.
These figures were very helpful. One small comment. The shoulders in the three figures seem to be too narrow. Thanks for the help.
It's really helpful. I have never watch tutorial that interested before. Your video is amazing. Thank you so much.
the 7 heads for porpotion is awesome - great trick - probley a common saying but first ive heard it
This is the fun arts bring us...you just gonna laugh even if it doesn't go right sometimes...
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! You are really generous for sharing your knowledge. This is very helpful, i really love and apreciate all of your videos, it really help me ♡
holy crap why was i not taught this way
yeah man maybe work some more normal gesture drawing would probably help you out get some of the dynamic poses more curvy and accurate
Great lesson. Thx!
Thanks sir for continuing for sharing knowledge
This was my favorite method to do quick sketch about 4 years ago, before life got in the way and I stopped creating art, I started drawing and painting again and needed a refresher on the Reilly method, hands down you have done the best job reminding me the correct way to do it. Thank you.
It seems that most artists I notice are into drawing women but I'm into the male anatomy from head to toe! Please, if you can help me in this area, I would be indebted to you! Women seem easier to draw!
Hi could you maybe do a video someday about how you would approach a male or female face if you had a really specific design in mind?
As in character designs, normal people, slightly stylized, the way you do your reilli-ish faces?
I would love to see someone like you draw character designs, with an emphasis on the face and charisma, rather than generic bland people drawn in a concept art style where the hook is the cool space armour,and not the face...
I don't think i phrased the question very well, but anyways, thanks so much for all your videos, I'm learning a lot watching these!
Thanks man, really enjoyed the practice. Never tried the Riley method before - really cool.
Awesome instructional video and easy to follow along while you were talking. You are a great teacher.
