Wow dude. This is awesome. Just that "Aha" moment there. I never understood, with my own understanding of anatomy and knowing the proportions and how in general, perspective works, why in the world things still looked out of whack for me. However no one ever explained to me that using the angles of a rectangle like that could help me from the mid points and essentially proportion in perspective CORRECTLY. Thanks so much, all your tutorials and resources have been a huge help. Thank you!
@@titanking5956 Nevermind I found it. Shortly before this video was released Sycra put out a video in which they "cut paper with a ruler" The joke being that they use a ruler for what someone would normally use scissors for and vice versa.
I've arted for quite awhile but I never knew that finding proportions was so cut and dry. I only knew about comparing angles and relations. However I did not know about that box method and how to scaling it up or down infinitely as long as you have that same angle. Thanks for making this vid, I feel like a hole in my knowledge base has been filled now.
This is why I love your tutorials. You speak casually, not notably proper. "Circle-y thing," for example. You speak like most people do. You explain things that basically everyone can understand. I really thank you for your tutorials and other videos.
I love opening a tab with your video just to listen to your voice while i draw something else, its soothing and you help boost my confidence in art, hee. Thank you for that!
I just love the fact that he isn't entirely sure if people use rulers to make straight lines, like they are just some mystic artifact, BUT then with a straight face (or straight voice I suppose) says that he uses scissors for lines like?!?!?!
Thankyou, I've been to college and all and they never taught me the basics like this. It's been really lacking from my education. I believe that you're one of the best people I follow, because you keep teaching good basics like this.
That was an EXCELLENT lesson (as usual)...so helpful! Thanks for being such an awesome teacher, Sycra...you are one of the wonderfully-generous people who have helped to REVOLUTIONIZE the quality and availability of online learning.
Wait wait wait. did he just say "i heard you can use a ruler to make straigh lines" ... did i just hear this? are you talking about the software that you are using? xD
+Daniel Ravits He said "If you are drawing traditionally I've heard you can use a ruler" lol Then says he doesn't because he prefers using scissors instead? haha I don't get it either!
Great video! This changes everything for me- proportions are going to be a lot easier now. I shall do some still life drawing and practice this tomorrow. :D Thanks for sharing, Sycra!!
thank u so much ,i like u r videos 1 can learn something from each min of ur videos,and u explain every thing very nice and simple that whatever u teach it seems really easy,sorry my english is not that good as urs but since i really like ur videos so i couldnt stop myself typing a comment,u deserve million thanx bro
ugh! I hate proportion with a passion and wish I had a perfectly trained eye. In the absence of that, this does a terrific job simplifying techniques to get it right, or close enough to right. Also appreciate the tips about the shift key for a straight line and the straight line with scissors. I'm usually scrambling for a straight edge and almost always have scissors around. Never occurred to me.
hey sycra i want to get better at faces but should i practice simpler objects first like fruits and such to develop my ability to see angles and proportions
actually i open this video just to listen to it while i'm drawing something else that has nothing to do with proportion. i just feel it like it helps me with my drawing so it becomes better.
I don't have a ruler and i try to avoid them. I don't want my lines to look too straight, because I feel they look like they lose some of the liveliness if drawn by a ruler. If I have to use something like a ruler, because the line is too long for me to draw by hand, I usually use the edge of a piece of paper or something like that. lol
The circle of the key would not be hard to draw after you drew the box, it has to fit precicely as it is once you have the box (unless you are doing something really wrong). Its math^^
I enjoyed your techniques but it is hard to follow when using the tablet. You might think of drawing on paper sometimes too to reinforce the ideas. Thank you!
This video and the part 2 to it are supposed to be his thought process... if he isn't a robot or high on meth he is going to be slow in explaining the train of thought he is on. It isn't supposed to be a school level lecture.. but just a guy explaining how he does something. I dont get how people can bitch about a free art lesson. Just my opinion.
When you are teaching somebody anything, try to refrain from saying, "You know..." great vid though minus all the you knows that I don't really know. You know?

Soo true )
"I've heard you can use a ruler to draw straight lines? Personally I use scissors for that, I use rulers for other things."
Hahaha.
Can you explain this to my friend?
Yes explain plzz
@@titanking5956 I'm sorry. It's been almost a decade, I don't remember what this is in reference to.

16:59 you are good at talking, that's why you're such a good teacher.

It's called a joke
Start with drawing, end with relationship advice. ^__^

When you practice this a lot you will be able to see the lines - mileage.
Been 10 years. i dont see any lines
Thank you for helping me solidify this style Part 2 really helped me lock in how to do proportions and made me a ton better at using reference.
That was an EXCELLENT lesson (as usual)...so helpful!

+Seth Taylor (RezNikTaylor) He has a video about ripping paper with a ruler. Maybe that made some kinda inside joke or something.
Lolololol
+Daniel Ravits Art Also I hear you can draw with pencils, who knew?
+Daniel Ravits Art i actually paused the video immediately in order to check in the comment box whether i was the only one who didnt get it or not XDD
Btw, great job on breaking the fourth wall on drawing for all of us! Bless you Sycra!
Thanks Sycra! This reminded me why I should be doing more still lifes!
absolutely adorable - thank you Sycra for all your interesting advices!
even more so...what does he do with rulers?
Man I'm really enjoying this dandelion tea :)
You're Voice makes me fall asleep sometimes.
I have no idea why. awesome video though
Because Sycra has a very calming and non-threatening voice
asmr
Great video! This changes everything for me- proportions are going to be a lot easier now. I shall do some still life drawing and practice this tomorrow. :D Thanks for sharing, Sycra!!
This is the KEY to our success!
Badum TSS!
That was absolute gold. Fell off my chair when he said it.
Hey man so I can disregard any drawing book to ever exist because this does the work for me lol
thank u so much ,i like u r videos 1 can learn something from each min of ur videos,and u explain every thing very nice and simple that whatever u teach it seems really easy,sorry my english is not that good as urs but since i really like ur videos so i couldnt stop myself typing a comment,u deserve million thanx bro

Thank you so much! I'm seriously struggling with art. I just wish I could've found this video earlier!
Sycra this is really helpful thanks man
and i forgot to say WOW :) u r way of teaching amazing
Thanks so much ill be using this for my figure drawing class in the future this helped tons keep up the good work
Thank you! I learn so much from your videos.
Thank you so much. Honestly, you've helped me a lot.
hey sycra i want to get better at faces but should i practice simpler objects first like fruits and such to develop my ability to see angles and proportions
Wow, thanks for the tutorial! I think this will give my drawing a boost, i do rely purely on my eye, and actually its not too correct so far...
actually i open this video just to listen to it while i'm drawing something else that has nothing to do with proportion. i just feel it like it helps me with my drawing so it becomes better.

The angle thing is brilliant.
This really helped me a lot. Good explanation!
the boy is right i'm chillin and drawing like hell to this :D
Excellent!! very helpful thank you!!!
This is so good! Thank you so much!
u're making me SO sleepy dude but thanks for the video!!
Really useful technique, thanks for the video.
i also do that up and down thing to find the middle of a line
Many thanks for your work!

Thank You again Sycra
you're good at teaching, thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
very nice sycra n_n
this helped a lot in drawing objects :)
you gonna make a video about sketching architecture in perspective? would be dope.
I may or may not be 7 years late but im listening to this in 2x speed and you constantly sound like youre going to cry
This is super helpful!
Thank You this helped me a lot!
Omg you taught me so much
Just amazing.
Extremely helpful! Thanks
thank you master sycra
Just watched his Iterative Drawing video and while I think I get it, how can you apply that to this videos subject? I need all the help I can get.
hah, i do that too, listening/ watching people draw inspires me
realy beautiful!!! nice channel!
I enjoyed your techniques but it is hard to follow when using the tablet. You might think of drawing on paper sometimes too to reinforce the ideas. Thank you!
❤❤❤
Can i like this video more than 1 time 👌
you can hold the scissors open to measure.
Thank you!
Any books you would recommend for this?
Lol why you need books just practice this and get critics and you will improve
thanks, this is helpful
cool method
I"m not exactly sure why this is funny, but it is. :)
*By "notably," I meant "really." Autocorrect can be a pain sometimes.
oh hey, it's the wacom pen
One of two dude.
Either you download the video and speed it up as much as you want or you just go find another one :/
Thanks, helpful. :D
Sycra, Where have you learned this technique
You're teaching the basic of trigo?
Great channel, wish i have more youtube acct to give you more subscription.
I lol'd when he said that.
Cintiq 22hd? When did you get it?
ты крутой
10:15 SPEDANYWAY
And i thought i was the only one
OTHER THINGS.......
dude, you need to get to the point! im on 2x speed and I still feel you're talking too paused
hahahha!! Right!!!

1:40 only an artist can be said to be *G H O S T I N G* (ya know the reference I'm sayin?)
he uses rulers to cut paper and scissors to make straight lines lol
he uses rulers for cutting lol
Microsoft.paint.exe
rulers are too mainstream
i think video should have been shorter with as much info - there is room for that. Good luck
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! he prefer to be call SENSEI!!!!!!
When you are teaching somebody anything, try to refrain from saying, "You know..." great vid though minus all the you knows that I don't really know. You know?
your voice reminds me of social dissonance
wut??
omg...you are sooo slow...fell asleep
