At 34 years old I am just now getting into drawing. Your video popped up on my feed one day and I watched your "how to draw a head" video and decided to give it a try myself. Thanks for all the great videos and screen shot oppertunites
As a beginner artist, these videos help me so much in my art journey and after watching a few of your videos I can see my art getting better everytime ❤ So please continue these tutorials since I don't think any other person could teach me any better 😅❤😊
I’m a teen and currently getting into drawing. I’m at level 2 and after just a bit of practice I was amazed how much better my sketches became thanks to this tutorial. A big thanks 👏
There's a visual hierarchy that should be respected in any drawing. The primary forms are always the most important. Basically when you simplify an arm to a simple cilinder, you make the process easier of establishing the gesture and size relationships of the whole arm before you add any details on top. Any secondary form (bicep, tricep, forearm, deltoid, etc) built on top of a poorly constructed primary form will look off no matter how well you try to draw it. If you see videos of pro artists going in drawing the muscles straight away, they are still thinking of the gesture and basic structure of something in the back of their mind and they design those muscles to support the gesture of the primary form. It's not something a beginner or even an intermediate artists can pull off without lots of practice. Use measuring techniques like plumb lines to fix mistakes when drawing from reference and if you're drawing from imagination as a beginner, always have a proportions chart next to you so you can see the proportions of an idealistic figure to rely on. In figure drawing, proportions and gesture are what's taught first before anatomy and shading because they're fundamental concepts.
Just what I needed. I tended to make too many anatomy details cuz I learned stuff in the wrong order. Drawing has a benefit that other skills don't have,and that is,by "copy and paste" irl to paper,you get good with time and effort. So simple yet something not many do. Thank you for opening my eyes once more.
Missed you so much and it's so good to have you here again Marcel, your content had really helped me improving my skills and this one won't be the exception. Thank you so much and welcome back!
I've been drawing and coloring before I knew how to write 😂 (i started to write at 1 yr and some months) But I really love his tutorials, it helps me improve after places I thought didn't need improving
I'm probably level 2 but going for 3. Loving these vids and they've really helped my art evolve by leaps and bounds with an actual framework for *how* to properly exercise and practice. It's very appreciated.
i'm capable of proportions and detailed rendering, but i might have jumped too far on the journey. so although i can do it, i am too slow, too stressed and overcomplicating my life to the point drawing is less of a free creative activity, and more of a chore. I noted every step, both in the lvl1 to 100 video you made, and also here. i will then start from scratch focusing on what i need to master. hopefully ill find joy in drawing again, thank you for your efforts in making these!
I'm level 2, I have a lot to learn in terms of proportions and anatomy but videos have helped me a ton. Thank you for continuing to make these. I wish you all the best!
Here is my comment that you requested as a form of payment, Mr. Marcel. I just finished watching the video and haven't tried it myself so I'd say I'm still on the puny tiny little level 0. However, I'm really excited to try out the new things I have learned from you. Thank you very much for the detailed and easy to understand tutorial. I hope one day I can become like you and DRAW LIKE A SIR! Salut to you, Mr. Marcel.
That's my process as well. Something that I'd like to add is the importance of knowing the body parts proportions in relation to each other. That makes the whole process more fluid and intuitive as you don't have to keep on measuring every line you make every single time.
this is probably the hardest advice for me to grasp at the moment -- others have said the same, about getting the general outline and break it down into basic shapes, but I still gotta work on getting my brain used to seeing things as shapes, let alone replicate proportions well that way. Learning building blocks and anatomy has made it click better in my mind, but silhouettes and copying what I see is a skill I very much have to work on :P Thanks for the great vid as always!
Awesome!! I try to join the streams as often as I can especially when your doing the life drawings. It's helped me so much with proportions. Now this video will help me even more!! 🔥❤ Such an amazing job as always with the video, Marcel! 🥳❤
Helpful tip for beginners: try to use a single, dynamic line for everything (instead of scribbling multiple lines on top of each other like in the video). That way it's going to be easier to memorize the shapes and to do the lineart afterward! The scribbling method works for marcel bc he's been drawing for decades but it will probably make things harder for you :)
And his lines arent “scribbling” cuz they’re not diverting away from the anatomy or proportions. You can see multiple artists do the same with construction lines And another essential tip, dont lift the pen/brush quickly near the end of a line. You can see Marcel do this sometimes for detail but for the most part his pen is on the paper and doesnt lift until the line is fully complete, not nearly complete, lifting too early will cause curves at the end and mess with the lines direction. This is a bad side effect brought on from writing fast
I never really got good at art, but these videos really made me a lot more confident in improving. It's like helping one with baby steps to achieve a goal, and I really love it. Please make more of these, because they're amazing!
Level 3 but I love each and every vid u post and you are never too experienced to get refreshed. I also showed my niece these videos since she has been loving painting and drawing. The art community appreciates what you do!
Level 2. Also love the videos. As a beginning artist who wants to get to that high level of detail eventually your videos have been so helpful especially the Lv1 to 100 video. Easily broken down and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!
The picture of the statue you used when explaining blocking non-human objects immediately made me think of a penguin, so I used the method in the video to draw a penguin in 10 minutes and it’s the best drawing I’ve ever done. Love your videos!
I dropped drawing a few year ago because i seemed to be stuck at a certain point where i just couldnt improve. After stumbling across your videos Im motivated to start again and im watching a bunch of your tutorials to learn from scratch. Thank you so much🙏🙏
This is exactly what I needed! I've been trying to draw poses but have been struggling pretty hard. Now I realized I've been skipping the first steps to learning the proportions! Love your videos💖💖
this was so helpful i used to have a passion for art but lost it due to school and work but ive again taught myself on how to draw even better than my previous art pieces thanks to you and your a life saver
I really love to see that you are progressing in your career and at the same time, you're making these tutorials for us.❤😊 Thanks a lot!🎉 P.S. - If I'm a beginner artist who wants to draw anime, would you prefer simple sketches with graphite pencils or making art using markers and stuff? Also, are micron pens better than dip pens?😅
instead of starting with anime proportions and anatomy start with the human anatomy cause you need to know the anatomy so much that you can do changes on it and it wont look bad. I suggest you to start with micron pens because dip pens control management on the paper can be harder than markliners but for now sketch with a basic pencil or a mechanic one the material is dont matter
I’ve always been halfway decent at art, but drawing by pencil on a canvas has been something that has given me a larger headache than anything in the world. Looks like I’m working on level 2 right now, but having a way to practice and get better rather than blindly drawing is enough to keep me motivated. Thanks for the video!
Nice. btw , life drawing and gesture drawing are kinda different... gesture (pronounced jes-chr) drawing Is a quicker version of life/figure drawing and the point Is to capture the gesture and movement of the pose , but you can go for other goals like proportion , although you should do longer drawings than usual gesture drawings If you want to go for proportions.
thank you Marcel, I really didnt know how to practice correctly and I got my idea. Now I can really scribble at the back of my school notebook to look cool 😂. Btw the clicked on this tutorial after watching the "how to draw faces at different angles" i used my drawing faces skills and proportions to make a true masterpiece. thank you mate
I'm currently at level 1 and have been improving my abilities, this tutorial is really helping with my understanding for visual arts, thank you Marcel 😊
I just want to say thank you for your videos. They are always great, fun, informative and very helpful. I started drawing earlier this year in April and I want to make my first manga book in the future. Your videos helped me improve so much. Thank you.
Man it took me forever to kick the bad habit of tracing over things instead of actually blocking it in. It didn't occur to me until the third re-watch when I realized you were using very rough shapes before molding it to something like the source image. Managed to make something that actually looks good once I realized this, thanks
I'm a level 1! I've always kind of had a knack for sketching since I used to draw a lot when I was younger but I've always had a problem with proportions. This video really helped!
Thank you. I was having trouble going from blocking the general shape to details without the proportions going all the way to the North Pole LMAO. Found out I was jumping into the details way too soon, instead of carving my way in gradually. Much appreciated!
-me who is more paying attention to the music while drawing- .... why am i like this? (this is a very good tutoriel, thank you so much!! you dont know how much this helped lol)
Level 1, thank you for the cheat sheet. I often have to just skip to the end and take a screenshot of the cheat sheet cause I don’t have time to watch entire vid, So it is very helpful
I’m really learning how to do art and the basic principles of art because I am wanting to learn how to become a tattoo. Artist in your videos have genuinely helped me out so much. Thank you.
Great video and so true. I used to focus on detail first with out laying out a good proportional foundation and alway came out terrible. Wasn't until I read How to draw the Marvel way that I learned the building blocks to solid art work.
Hi Marcel! I started to draw about one week ago. I'm following your "Learn to draw roadmap" and actually I'm in the anatomy basic step! I'm approaching the anatomy in the whole context, giving a watch also at the details. Actually for this video I'm at the level 1, hope to increase the difficulty in the next days!
I love your videos, I am an illustrator working for a firm, but due to the different projects I forgot to practice my handy works, now I couldn't even draw a straight line, my confidence are loosinggggg, so I planned to start from the biggening , these videos really helping me, to build me better, thank you
It's unfortunate that not enough people have seen these videos. Great quality. As for payment for the screenshot, I am end of level 1/beginning of level 2.
After rushing into drawing stylized characters for several months i found how important the fundamentals are and now im back to Marcel to learn basics and restart this journey 🥲

I'm a level 2, someone was really struggling with proportions and I'm glad you made a video about this 👍 Huge W
100 percent SAME. Level 2 for me, proportions have always been hard, but this makes it so clear 😁
im also at level 2!!
hoping to get at 3 soon!

I would say the same thing! I'm a level 2 right now, but now proportions feel so much simpler!
Same
For me, I have never drawn proportions, but the tutorial helped me so much that I really like my work!
I’m a teen and currently getting into drawing. I’m at level 2 and after just a bit of practice I was amazed how much better my sketches became thanks to this tutorial. A big thanks 👏

@@zenith8417can you criticize my drawings and tell me why I can't draw the body as freely and nice as others ? They look so technical and not fluid

this tutorial is so good I can feel Marcel coming inside of me when I draw (platonically)
Dude you're no cap the best art channel in TH-cam. (this is my pay for the plan, but i rlly do mean it.)
Thanks for all this information, you are really professional
my friend was struggling on proportions just now and i found out you had finally uploaded with the perfect video for him

I am currently at stage....-2😂
i think im stage no.1. im still flabbergasted at how good and helpful these videos are man .
This is super helpful, I use line of action to try and get the hang of working quickly with basic shapes 😊
On stage 2 rn, this video actually helped me realize what was wrong with my drawings, TY
proportions are definitely one of those things that sound easy but when put in practice can be a nightmare if you don’t know what you’re doing
I dropped drawing a few year ago because i seemed to be stuck at a certain point where i just couldnt improve.
After stumbling across your videos Im motivated to start again and im watching a bunch of your tutorials to learn from scratch. Thank you so much🙏🙏
