Antonio Stappaerts is a professional concept artist and teacher. In this video, he’ll detail his six steps on how you can learn to draw anything and provide you with a better understanding of form, design, and structure. You’ll learn how to break down complex subjects into simple shapes, the importance of shape design, and get some valuable tips on manipulating basic shapes to make them more dynamic and interesting. If you’ve been trying to draw the world around you (or from imagination) and your artwork is not living up to your expectations, then this lesson will really help you out.

Yes, thanks for this lesson Antonio. Still having a slight issue with his choice of referring to 'forms' as 'shapes'. @ 4:15, he is discussing "shape" manipulation, but a cylinder is not a shape, it's a form. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Very helpful stuff. I've been drawing for over 20 years without much progress. People tell me i'm good because i can copy something pretty well. Now that i'm really learning the basics, my drawings have improved so much. Did a course a while ago about light and shadow because i want to learn digital art and my very first pencil drawing was so much better than ever before, i was really surprised by it. Don't be stubborn, folks. Listen to the teachers. This stuff takes a lot of time and you will be wasting it by taking shortcuts.

We are glad to hear that you're finding the information helpful and that your drawings have improved as a result! It can be frustrating to feel like you're not making progress, but it's important to remember that learning and improving take time and practice. It sounds like you're on the right track by taking courses and focusing on the basics. Remember to be patient with yourself and keep at it - the more you practice, the more you'll improve. And it's great that you're taking the time to learn about light and shadow - these are important concepts in art that can greatly improve the realism and depth of your work. Keep up the good work!

This is the first time I actually understood WHY drawing the foundational shapes is so important/useful. I've never been motivated to practice by drawing boxes and cylinders, and I've heard it a _million times_ - in drawing foundations class, hundreds of art videos, books, etc.-and I *never* took the advice. I just didn't understand it. I'm like, "ok a circle and some shadows... great, did that, let's move on" and when I DID move on, IT NEVER WORKED THE WAY I WANTED IT TO. And now I see that I was missing the whole point. Anyway I'm trying to say: THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME IN A WAY THAT I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND AND UTILIZE IN MY OWN PRACTICE. To ensure your time into this video was well-spent, I will get off KZfaq and practice right now. Again, thank you. You're a really fantastic teacher and I'm grateful to have found this knowledge today. Bye!!

Antonio is basically summarizing the steps that we go through learning to draw since childhood. We observe shapes, we recognize that shapes can be drawn , slowly refine the base shape, refine the details, then think about colours, lighting . I do believe the best way to love drawing and drawing practice is to become a child.
@pigun6960 Жыл бұрын
Hmm, I'm not sure if the intuitive drawing - wich we all primarly do - works that way. I mean, when I draw something as an amateur I don't see this thing as 3D object constructed of 3D basic shapes, I know it is 3D, but as I draw it, I see it as 2D object. And this means that more important than structurization for me is proportionizing as I would call distances between outlines. At least this is how I perceive my intuitive drawing process. And what you say sounds to me more like learnt, "intelectual" understanding of professional drawing.
@sca8217 Жыл бұрын
@@pigun6960 I do believe, our eyes really do see in 2D ( meaning, the image on the retina is 2D - length and breadth) . The depth comes from relative movement of viewer and object, the consequential change in angle of viewing, the inherent difference in the viewing angles of each eye, and ultimately , through processing within our brains. It is difficult as a beginner to draw from our 3D perception unless we learn to re-flatten the 3D perception. This is all unconscious, mind you. As part of drawing, we usually try to 'flatten' things down to their 2D shapes. And then try to draw them. Which is why as beginners, we constantly struggle to get foreshortening right, because with even a slight movement of our eye/s we see a slight different shape of our subject. Your 'distances between outlines' analogy is perfect. That's how our brain tries to simplify a 3D image to get it on paper. I guess that's why shutting one eye to get proportions and distances is recommended. In that sense, I think intuitive drawing can happen us reverse engineer that 3D image in our mind to make it "drawable".

Studying from other artist's arts can be good but it does not actually completely mean "imitating" them, it is just "studying". And plus I doubt that any aspiring artist here would completely want to imitate them anyways, that is not a true "artist", being an artist is not imitating something, it is more creating than imitating. But, if there is actually an artist here whose goal is to completely imitate someone else then yes that is certainly not a good idea, I recommend you to stop.

I've been involved in several comic art classes from various artists and none of them has ever gone over the idea of making simple boxes interesting.

I drew along with what you were presenting and found it very challenging to replicate some of your simple box manipulations, which tells me I need more practice with simple shapes before moving on to bigger things.

I learned the basics and immediately jumped to an anatomy book without ever mastering figure drawing and fundamentals. I don't regret it since in a sense I've been able to train my eye to easily identify and correlate the negative and positive spaces of a drawing. But I love the idea that to be a better artist after practicing for about 4 years straight every day I have to go back to the basics... 😁

this concept right here is exactly why i tell ppl i can draw but i can’t actually draw fr i can draw anything by looking at it, but the foundations for drawing from imagination… i skipped those cause i thought it was boring now i’ll go through the boredom so i can actually transfer my imagination to the page without wanting to fight the end result

Very good explanation for a realistic view of art. If you can't do the basics...thats where you start! So many tutorials out there that get you thinking that's it's so easy to draw anything. Yes some start you that way but your patient time to explain why is so important! Thank you!

This was amazing to watch. After a lifetime of “doodling” I’m trying to teach myself to draw and discovered learning how to really seeing things is a task in itself. I also tend to have a logical mindset and want to understand the process behind creating objects and a rationale rather than simply follow a tutorial or technique. Thank you.

Antonio, this is probably one of the most useful videos I have ever encountered. For years I have been drawing from observing the things around me, photocopying concepts of interest yet never understanding why the studies never translated into a solid foundation of skills that would allow me to let my imagination run away on the page. I wanted to thank you for putting the steps together in order to build on my understanding and finally reach this goal. Thank You!

i like this because a lot of artists say not to use boxes when drawing the human figure, but when first starting out it can help a lot like he's mentioning in the video. understanding simple shapes and manipulating them in order to do that with more complex figures in the future. it can help visualize overlapping as well (with limbs or buildings) and help understanding volume and volume in a particular space. i'd say when really trying to understand complex shapes, such as in the education step, is when you should wean off using the box so that the figure is not so rigid and more gestural. but like he said at the end, you should be able to make these simple shapes interesting before making complex shapes interesting. one step at a time. i think it could also come in handy when learning light values and shading and such. learning it on a basic surface, like where the light hits, the shadow falls, ambient lighting, etc. before applying that to complex figures. that and there is no right way to do it. if boxes aren't it for people than don't but i dont think shouldn't NOT be used. if that makes sense

I was searching for a video like this for sooo long !!!! I trained myself about simple shapes and volumes and i wasn't able to draw more complexe shapes. I realised too that studying the work of artists i like, and understanding why i love their work help me to know what i want to draw, and indirectly what "artstyle" i want. thank you Proko for sharing us great videos like this, and thank you Antonio for this amazing masterclass!!!

This is the most useful art advice I’ve gotten honestly. Many videos talk of the different types of pencils, and others speak of practicing shapes and different types of lines and strokes to repeat. This is the first video I’ve seen to go so in depth as to why the basics are important and how to manipulate them.
@munchkinniee 2 жыл бұрын
As a student that wanted to learn art, this video gives me the right path that I should take in becoming an artist. Drawing shapes and manipulating it in my own advantage is so new to me yet so important. I never knew that basic shapes in 3d form can be a life saver for me as a young artist. Also, I already learned anatomy even though I don’t know how to draw the simple 3d shapes yet. So my drawings look so disproportional and distorted. Now, I already knew that I am becoming a successful artist because of this video. Thank u so much for doing such an informative video for free!

Thank you for this video. I totally agree about the gap between basics and pro stuff. I never paid enough attention in drawing classes in school, and I never stopped wondering how to level up. It was great to see a possible path to a pro level, laid out so clearly in your lesson. When you see a path, it's so much easier to make steps upon it and actually practice.

This is a priceless video, many thanks to Proko Team and Antonio. One thing I like about this channel that I got to know so many amazing artists, like Antonio. Simplifying things can be a challenge, often u king of dragged to the details. Steve Huston talking a lot about simplicity of the shapes. When I just have started drawing, it was difficult for me to manikinize human figure, and I think still it s a challenge for me. Especially with imagining box structers
