In this video I discuss drawing big heroic figures from imagination, especially when we need to draw them from different angles.
I also cover how this type of skill building relates to the type of art you want to do... not everyone uses their anatomy and figure drawing the same way.
A big part of the art journey is figuring out how you apply these concepts into your own work and style!
If you want to learn about the techniques I am using based on the Loomis Method you can check out these videos:

With most types of stylised types of art - There is often a mix of structure and perspective and technical drawing.... combined with symbols and abstract features.
Once you get good at blocking in proportion and posing with the Loomis Method you can use it to suit your own style.
It's just a tool you can use to help you draw cool stuff!
Happy Drawing!

thank you so much for all the tips and tutorials!
Glad you like them!
sorry but there are big mistakes on your anatomy proportions!!!
Thank you!
Wow
Codex.. got to thinking about a comment someone had made, about a lessons pay for tutorials.. I think you'll be better off just starting a patreon account, with different level of tears for your fans..
Codex..Gil Kane,love his style,he draws anatomy and proportions more realistic, meaning you could see that on an average person, also I love your videos I always learn something from them.. how's bout, someone spear fishing, the fish is speared and you're looking at the person spear fishing from underneath the water.. bye'eeee..
Which brand do you buy of artistic models of the skeleton/ecorche stuff? There's a lot of 3D printed stuff out there and I can't find what you have.
have you found good ones yet?
Would interest me too ;=)
I struggle with dark scenes. I often make it so dark you can't see the lineart anymore. But looking at your drawing at 3:40, you're able to convey darkness without actually making it dark, or atleast your lines are still visible. Basically, I'm wondering if you have any tutorial about mood/atmosphere/lighting?
it's all about contrast. dont use hella dark blacks n stuff, just choose a pallet that has tonal variety and have contrast in ur paintings. In the drawing u mentioned, the blue/teal colors in the background arent actually dark colors, but when it surrounds the bright n light oranges in the house and the characters who are being lit up w orange tones it creates contrast and makes the rest of the painting look darker than it actually is
When you pulled out that BoF4 artbook, I recognized a fellow of my own kidney. Very cool channel to discover, subscribed!
Haha! :) right on!
Hey tim could you do more character design tutorials... thank you.
Hey Steven! Great Video!
As for suggestions, as another person commented here, I think you shouldn’t chase the audience. Especially because you’ll be making videos responding to different people’s requests in each video, so you won’t get that far in any direction.
Now something that you suggested on the video was to break down the “anatomy” of animals and creatures and I think that’s a something I, myself, would be interested in. Especailly how to put those studies into practice creating my onw creatures and how to make dynamic poses for them like you have many dynamic dragons and cat-lizzars on your awesome thumbnails. But in all ernesty what I think you would benefint the most and what would at the same time benefit your audience the most is that you made a “bootcamp” style series. You already have practice developing such a curriculum, so that wouldn’t be something so out there to expect from you since you’ve done that for CDW.
I get that those videos might be dryer at the beginning but mixing them up with the Art Ritual videos is a great way to to keep the viewers spirits up. You’ve nailed it with that video series. I guess the Bootcamp, even the line and color bootcamp in oposition to the more concept art bootcamp for CDW could be your next paid video tutorial if you think that makes more sense to you. That would be teaching the basic topics like in depth construction+perspective, Anatomy, Character and costume Design etc. What ever you think is more important based on your experience. All in all what I want to say is that you surelly know how to plan a continuous curriculum, and you should do that and let your audience be built around you and not chase the audience and be pulled into many different direcations without such a clear path (I don’t think that is happening already, but I see the risk.)
PS: Something that I see could be beneficial to all the instructional videos would be to add clear assigments. You’ve been a teacher so you know that having clear and straigth forward set of repetions can focus people a lot more. You could make the addendum that “this is really something a useful exercise that you should practice for the rest of your life, but if you are following my videos like a course I think the minimun that you should do of these are X number of drawings”. The repetiontion of the disclamer could get old for you, but you already do it for the intro, might as well do it for the outro.
PS2: If you do go for the exercise focused path, you could open a discord - I’m sure people would step forward to moderate it - that way you could see people works being done as a result of your videos, that itself would give you more parameters on how to tailor your future videos outside of just written comments on youtube. And as a possible benefit, it would provide an oportunity for you to have another series of videos where you point out some common mistakes on people's exercises based on the drawings that you would see on discord.
Awesome as usual Tim. Where did you get that ecorche figure?
Cool super helpful! We really want to see you break down some different anatomical creatures
PS5
Hey love the video and love all the quality stuff you’re pumping out super helpful
Fantastic!! These figure drawing videos are so incredible helpful
Hey Tim could you do more beginner friendly figure drawing vids ?
Yeah absolutely. How beginner friendly should I make them? What kind of things are you imagining? More focused on the basics? Or just going slower? Let me know what you would like.
@@TheDrawingCodex showing more of the basics would be awesome thank you !👍
