I'm convinced Marcel works with the government and listens through all our phones to come out with the tutorial people need at the perfect times.

[PrateekHegde-goeg]

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 😅❤😊

[TopatTom]

Your tutorials are the best!!!!


Forgot to mention the blood and sweat you spend on these videos just for us
And your humor is the best!

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.

I'm actually at level 3 and I don't need most of your tutorials but I still watch em cuz I like them

[Defnotblack]

I've been struggling sooo much with this. Marcel you're a life saver!

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

OMG, i LOVE MIRO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECOMENDATION, IT'S THE EXACT TYPE OF TOOL I WAS LOOKING FOR TO ORGNIZE MY PROJECTS!!!

[ApesFavs]

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! 🥳❤

[Tamagosuk]

Drawing is already in my blood since I was a kid, but Thanks to you i can improve my talent a lot.

[billastoriofkaferedaki]

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.

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!

[WobblyHorse]

[mocerlaalacbaino]

I watched your video 6 times in past 10 months. Never held the pencil. This time I did. The amount of difference it makes is stunning.

[mikeroush]
