Fix Your Flat Drawings

Every part of the body can be simplified with spheres, cubes and cylinders!

Whether drawing from reference or imagination, mannequinization helps you give your drawings more life and mass.

Gotta love the Jojo pose to illustrate how much it can do

Give that animator got a raise! That animation was so ✨ *_fluid_* ✨

This is actually how Cézanne used to paint: his philosophy was not to show reality as the eye sees it, but how it can be simplified using simple shapes.

Perfect. Concise useable information. I’ll use it in your current Basic Drawing course, lovin the course!

Stylizing your art can also be as simple as just changing how you construct your characters. I learned this way, but as I continued drawing I started playing with my construction to see what I liked and what I didn't.

Now I take more inspiration from action figures and model kits than I do actual people for my proportions. Leads to a unique way of looking at things, and it made me really good at posing my figures

I feel like these tutorials are way ahead of its time.

The way they're presented is so unique, there're 3D models, animation, lots of editing and very clear images.

Of course there are good tutorials that use a camera and pencil, not everyone's budget is the same.

my man was just created into the world and is immediately confused on why strange shapes are being added onto his body

[mave_mave]

The 3d model looks so round and realistic like clay I kinda wanna bite it omg im so hungry 😭

But besides that this is really good to learn! I shall try this now :]

heres another tip. don’t be afraid of making anatomy look unnatural if it meant that your drawing will look better for it. the point of learning anatomy is to know how to bend, and break it, not conform to it.

I don’t think you understand how helpful this video was for me. My art just jumped a whole nother level tysm!

[SleepyGemstone]

Cool, but that’s a lot for beginners to keep track of. If you are a beginner, instead of using so many shapes, you could use something called an advanced stick figure (look up pictures). These do the same thing but leave more room for stylization. It also helps to keep flow in a drawing and stop the artwork from looking stiff. I stared drawing humans in the way this tutorial instructed, but I got overwhelmed very quickly, I see this as a more advanced technique. This is incredibly helpful for working with structural anatomy and more complex figure drawings. Amazing job with the artwork! Keep up the amazing work.

me after watching jojo:

"you call those POSES!?"

[chikurinnhatsu-cha]

Such a good video 📸 For artists, please utilize methods like simplifying the body parts into shapes very cautiously. A majority of the time, I will see people who are too heavily referencing shapes which makes the art look rather stiff, heavy, sometimes awkward and tight. Suchlike what was said in the video, be sure to exaggerate as well! It depends on style too, as I've been drawing 11 years as a self-taught mangaka in which manga is known to be quite stylistic in Japan, but especially when it comes to capturing the physics of softbody and dynamism in poses, exaggeration is fundamental!

Most underrated art teacher. Currently applying for AP 2D Arts & Design next year as a junior and this really helps me! Thank you! 😊🙏❤

[DustyBricks]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I really needed this amazing tip on drawing the human body for a clone from Star Wars drawing I’m making. As well as things that I will draw in the future, this will really help. Thank you! ❤

Ive been watching many videos and animatics and having referentes all over but even then sometimes i struggle however i have seenbthe improvement

[ethanbrunt]

The first one is pretty realistic because not everybody is in shape and has 10% body fat
