Pro artists Michael Mattesi and Diego Lucia teach you how to make your figures more dynamic. The author behind the Force Books is the guy to help you un-stiff your stiff poses. To see Force instructor Swendly Benilia take this pose and design a character around it, head over to Michael Mattesi’s youtube channel and watch Part 2.
This was a casual video, in my studio painting one of my teammates. I decided to make it as challenging as possible by painting portraits, in oil, from life, using crazy colored light bulbs, in under 30 minutes each. It was a challenge, but super fun and great practice. Learn some more tips about painting and share a few laughs.
Creature concept artist Anthony Jones (aka RobotPencil) shows you his process for quickly drawing digital creature concepts and explains the importance of improving your sketching speed. This is another useful exercise where the small details don’t matter as much as the big picture.
One useful exercise that can ease your mind and improve your shape design is automatic drawing. The idea is to put pen to paper and just enjoy the process of subconscious mark making. Professional artist Tim Gula shows you how to apply meditation to art with an exercise called automatic drawing and explains the benefits of including it in your routine.
The Loomis Head that I’ve taught so far shows you all the guidelines to draw heads proportionally. It’s incredibly helpful, but you don’t have to follow it line by line once you get good at drawing the average head. This video will show you how I approach drawing heads and mapping out the facial features in a more intuitive way.
In Part 1 I gave you a general overview of the Loomis Method. In Part 2 I showed you how to use a Loomis Head to fit any head type.
What happens when the head of the subject you’re drawing doesn’t fit the average proportions? Don’t worry, in this video I’m going to teach you how to adjust the Loomis Head to draw ANY head type!
In Part 1, I gave you a general overview of the Loomis Method. In Part 3 I will show you an intuitive approach to using it.
It’s been 6 years since I released my first youtube video on drawing loomis heads and now I think it’s time for a little recap and to give you some new info on it. In this video, I’ll do a few quicksketch studies of the average loomis head from different angles.
Parts 2 and 3 will show you how to use a Loomis Head to fit any head type and an intuitive approach.
Our favorite voice, Marshall Vandruff drops us another cheerfully narrated drawing video! Watch him draw horses from imagination using 3 different types of ink – Roller Ball, Sharpie, and Manga G Nib. This video will loosen you up and make you go wild and free with your sketches.
Many people struggle with not having enough time to draw. One way to get better faster is to maximize the efficiency of your practice sessions. You can apply the 80/20 rule to practice the most important 20% of the concepts many times instead of 100% just once. Setting a time limit with quicksketch painting forces you to eliminate the insignificant and focus on the crucial. In this vlog, I travel out to one of my favorite painting spots in San Diego to do a couple of quick painting studies.
Kim Jung Gi is famous for his large brush pen drawings from his imagination. I had special access to record a live demonstration and a private interview with the man himself. In this video I’ll explore why Kim Jung Gi is so damn good.
