What I would’ve given to have access to something like this as a kid. “How to Draw the Marvel Way” was pretty much it back then.

Not going to lie. When this video popped up, I was a little surprised at the 30 min runtime. 30 minutes...just on capes?? Well, now I feel foolish. So much good information here! Brilliant!! Thanks Dave!

The master dave give us part of the masters skills

Nice Drawing! I have always struggled with cloth, and this helps.

This is a LOT useful thanks!

The other week David followed me on Instagram and it meant more to me than even I would have thought. It just hit different. I credit him with helping me so much - from his old gnomon workshop videos, to meeting him in person in Sydney, to all of these informative KZfaq videos. I’ve got a new piece I just completed and I googled finch capes for inspiration (this video is a happy coincidence). I think we all can thank David for what he’s done for comics 🙏🙌

YES! Thanks David!

FINALLY A NEW TUTORIAL

David is the GOAT!!

Awesome video as always Dave. In the future could u do a tutorial on adding accessories to characters like backpacks, gadgets, helmets…etc.

Oh man, I've been hoping for video about this for least a year. Thanks for simplifying something that has confounded me for so long, Dave!

Glad to finally see this one! I'm Definitely adding these tips to my sketchbook. Excellent tutorial🔥🔥

cool new music and robot dave sounds cool too :)

YOU R THE BEST!

I am making an officially licensed Batman print right now and was hitting the wall with his cape. This video was a big "A-HA" moment. Incredibly helpful!

David Finch is a BOSS!! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill.

So cool! Thanks for making this video Dave!

You never fail to break down these complicated ideas and make them attainable

Thank you Dave, My whole family is sick. i was just feeling better enough to draw, I turn on KZfaq and this is a very nice Suprise. Thank you, I think its way better when you just tell use a tutorial is coming and we find out what it is when it comes out:) thank you

Fantastic breakdown on drapery for comics! And what a great Spawn cover!

He's a really good artist.

This was a great tutorial. I've seen this concept in books but seeing you do it makes it more interesting and memorable. I have an idea for another tutorial. You should draw a foreshortened figure like how you drew Spawn, but explain how you're approaching it; explain your thought process as you draw. I think that would be extremely helpful. Also: Todd McFarlane forever!

So good! You are a master and a master teacher.

El problema con las capas lo tenía hace rato gracias David finch por tanto sabiduría

Great tips thank you. Todd McFarlane said he drew Spawn with sauch a huge cape because he hated to draw backgrounds. ✌🏼

This is so good that you can even use these principles for hair.

oh my gosh I love your drawing style so much, as a young aspiring comic book artist i watch your videos to get better, I'm only in middle school and I've already learned so much from you and other spectacular content creators, thanks for making these videos 🤩✍️

just amazing!

Dave, in tonight's Livestream with Kurt, you said that you were sharing common knowledge in the capes video. One thing I think pros forget is that, at some point, they too had to acquire that knowledge, so it may not be as common as one thinks. Even me, who has been drawing for most of my 55 years, can, and often has, learned new ways of doing things. I've done drapery studies several times over the years, but your way of showing it here, made it hit in a new way that I'll be practicing from now on. Capes have always been a weak point in my drawing, and now, thanks to you, I have the means of improving by looking at it in that new way. It makes me wish we had the Internet when I was young. You really do give so freely of your knowledge and time and are so nice to everyone on your streams that I feel justified when I said that you remind me of “Uncle” George. You are carrying his legacy forward in such a good way. Thank you.

I’m 3 minutes into this going “OOOHHH SHIT!!???” Lmao, I’m blown away at how your drawings come to life, thank you for this education!

This is masterful. Thank you.

Wow! That 'drawing the cape's footprint on the ground' thing was new for me! That's awesome! This whole thing is great. Thanks, David!

Terrific video Dave. Ive seen alot of cape examples and you brought some really fresh thoughts and visuals!! Thanks again!!! 😎

This really helps as in about to start a sentry piece

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing

thanks dave. that is amazing.

Great tips thanks dude 🤘

thank you mr finch .

I love how your art style has evolved over the years. While it’s still uniquely DF, you seem to be having a massive leap in style lately and i for one love it!

Edna mode, forgive me... But now that he dropped this video every damn figure is gonna have a cape.

Fantastic. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. You are in effect a teacher with great advice as well.Your reach is world wide.And its free what more could anyone want.🎨👍

Please do a drawing with a brush🖌️🧡David Finch📙👨🏻‍🎨

Thank you David for another awesome tutorial.🤙 your videos are gold🥇

Hey David, you have been helping me a lot through your tutorials. All the topics that you have covered with the help of you videos are crystal clear to me but still i struggling drawing blood and faces. It would be great if you cover them in a video. Please can you make a tutorial on how to draw faces?

Awesome!!! Love it!! Thanks again David!

nice to see a tutorials on drawing fabrics :) this is very helpful thank you ❤🐓🐔🐣

This is a really awesome video! Thank you for it! The music reminds me of Metroid. Now I want to play it. Lol

Another course! Thx David !

Thank you so much!

You are an excellent teacher, sir. Very well done. 🤙🏻

Another insightful video. You’re the creative mentor I always wanted! Thank you

Freddy fazbear, I’ve been waiting so long for capes!!

Love this Video! Very helpful! Thank you for sharing Dave !

As usual amazing. You are not just a great artist, great teacher too. I’m grateful. 👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

Sr. Finch, usted es un gran maestro, el mejor a mi parecer.

I've been watching a lot of your tutorials in recent months so i can improve my art skills for a comic i want to make. I've seen a big jump in some of my skills thanks to you!

EXCELLENT!!!

So awesome. Great stuff, for me as a new drawer this has helped me out immensely. Thank you 😊

thank you Dave. I will for sure study this in my sketchbook!

I finally learned it! And also... What's that voice at the start?! Robo Finch !

God I needed this video, been having the urge to draw Spawn but capes and cloth rendering in general is very intimidating for me. Thank you so much for the advice!

Great tutorial Dave! Very well explained and greatly showcased! Also just finished the Moonknight coloring video, as well a very good video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for doing this video. I’ve been hoping that you or Jim or Todd would do one. Thanks to you I feel my art has been growing in leaps and bounds every time I put pencil to paper. Would you be able to do a video on the pelvic area? It’s the point where all the leg and torso muscles meet and it seems like most artists either black it out or cover it with belts and armour. Thank you again.

💯

Can this method be used to draw hair, and how would I avoid the hair looking like thin fabric?

Damn, Dave really went out of his way in making this video He even wrapped the mic in a cape to maximize the affect

Thanks buddy

grande David finch

крутой рис, мне нравится! Финч крутой

Spawn!

Helpful

I really hope, Romuta Jr. is watching your videos. ;)

Spawn is the shit one of my all time favorites

You should really try drawing Daken, i think you whould enjoy it :)

David please on your next vid teach how to draw full bodies and buildings

Forgot, could you do a Michael Kaluta (The Shadow) shout out.. he's got 2 guns and a cool cape?

David always being on SUPREME mode like.......

Hi..hero(F)liked the way you talked,as if you're not holding back (knowledge).. in a way, education can change the world..I think..ha..

Very helpfull tu

Hey I have to ask, what type of ruler do you use, it looks really handy!

You are amazing. I want to thank you for visiting my channel. You are very kind person. Your drawings are inspiring ❤

Cape lesson but still learning so much anatomy from that human figure.

hi David. can you do a drawing of spider man earth 11638 ghost spider I think it fits your style too.

"Should I do a video on the principles of drapery? Nahh... sounds boring. Hey, wait a minute..."

hay you nice :)

26:01 27:51

Mr Finch when his book comes out?

So it seems to be a bit more an artform on capes, other than a you do a good job.

I learned the simple version of capes by copying Looney Toon landscapes, except the lines went downward.

No capes!

Helpful video 😁👍 but your mic gives you a chakravartin voice

NO CAPES! - Edna "E" Mode

الموسيقى الخلفية تقاتل صوتك و تسبب ضوضاء كبيرة 😢

Easy, don't. "NO CAPES!" - Edna Mode.

strange audio doubling happening at some places in the video, makes your vocal fry sounds even weirder than usual.
