THE BOX METHOD | CONSTRUCTION FOR ARTISTS PT.2

So I wanted to talk a bit deeper on the box method I mentioned in the last video. I wanted to show how useful it can be to apply and also show you how to make a physical model to better apply the method. I did ramble a bit more this video so please excuse that haha, but I do sincerely hope yall learned something and even try making a model of your own!

This is a good tutorial but you shouldn't really use a trapezoid for the pelvis even for heavy bottom characters - just use a wider cuboid. The problem is you are putting a hip just under the illiac spine which is totally anatomically incorrect - hip is way into the back. That's why your hips look so thin in the drawing you did around 17 minute. Box method is great but take a better look how the box is describing the pelvis anatomically. Cheers!

simple and relatable! as someone who continuously struggling with body structure, videos like this are so revealing, there's never enough you know. keep it up

[sacthequeen]

Damn, this is the motivation I needed to continue learning to draw rotated boxes

[luminach]

THIS is good. As someone who has struggled a lot with intuitively grasping construction and translating it into a finished figure, your tutorials are VERY much needed and appreciated.

Many artists don't realize how quickly these basic ideas just click for them, so your effort to break it down, and dig deeper is a big deal. Looking forward to even more!

I've gradually taken the approach of construction being a thing derived automatically from contour and cross-contour studies, rather than a defined "method". It's true that having the planes of the box is helpful as a way to make the form crisp and spot some errors, but the more often you follow the contour, the more you automatically spot the landmarks on each part of the contour, so as long as you're observing a lot of real stuff and studying it from many angles and applying cross-sections, you always end up having the planes and relationships in your head. And then construction is just a matter of whether you want to let the contours drift into impressionism or if you want them tightened up to present depth of perspective and photoreal proportions.

I'm following along little with these boxes, though, and it's odd how much I can feel the muscle memory of my study approach kicking in as soon as I start following the contour of the box and saying "oh, it's this configuration, so then make this kind of motion and that's about what the pelvis will look like in that angle." It's like looking at an apple and immediately writing "apple".

Clicked for the thumbnail, left with a good art lesson. 🗿🍷

Loving the box 2 piece, it really compliments your Figure

[randomman]

Honestly I have always loved art mostly animation and I have always wanted to get better and after watching this it just seems fun this method is just fun to see so thank you for making this it was a pleasure and I hope you can continue helping others like you did for me

[skullwund]

i just saw the pt 1 you are good at explaining things

[Queenncard]

TYSM, I was almost crying when trying to learn the box method alone, your video saved my life

[altair]

Really good tutorial, I just started to learn digiArt yesterday and learning how to draw pose. I just try to follow along some tutorials without really understand about the box thing. This tutorial really helpful for me, and now I'm learning how to draw the box to help me to draw pose better. Thanks!

[armandobortoluso]

What a great video! I was trying to wrap my head around the box construction for so long and you made it so easy! Thanks!

[QuestSabers]

This really helped me with consistency in my characters 💙

[BadfighterPilot]

the way the pictures progressed to a good sketch with just a few lines is amazing

[thedoom]

Just found this video but will say just seeing you wearing the boxes actually helped me understand a lot of where I was messing up with this method

[Chill-soqk]

Thank you so much lately I've been trying too understand construction and how to apply methods. I have been using the circle method but it was very hard for me to understand it. And actually apply it to my art. But I've been using this method and I have been able too see it. I also struggle with making my characters too thick or too thin. I love this tutorial and it helped me so much. You've gained a subscriber. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[drowing]

Your video was very informative and useful for me), thank you, I was very surprised how you came up with the idea to make a model for drawing, I'll try to make it myself.
Thanks to the recommendations of YouTube, greetings from Russia, good luck in the development of the channel.

[lukas]

In the summer I teach 2D drawing for game development and I taught the BOX METHOD. Legendary! xD

[aspebb]

This is actually the first time I've seen a guy in a box on YouTube. Neat.

[cherico]

Absolute best. Preaching the words of the almighty Glen Vilppu.
