How to Shadow Anatomy

Рет қаралды 290,533

Күн бұрын

This is a quick tutorial about adding shadows to anatomy. The hardest part of making lighting on figures work is getting a consistent lighting across the entire figure. I show examples using very simple shapes, and then show the same lighting on more complex versions of the same anatomical shapes. Hopefully you can see how thinking about lighting in the most simple and broad terms can create cohesion for your figure shadowing.

How to shadow anatomy. Step one: learn all skeletal and muscular anatomy for all species you will be drawing, being sure to understand variations due to size, fitness, gender, and sociology. I will be waiting here when you're done to tell you step two.

Saga Draws good luck, I’ve been drawing for 4-5 years and it’s been somewhat of a roller coaster ride, you have ups and downs, my best advice is to not copy others work but to do your own and make your own unique style and experiment with it and take your time, study anatomy and shadowing and how light bends around an object, do different characters and styles e.g realistic, comic book, concept art, anime, portraits e.t.c. Best of luck my friend. God bless

French comic artist also have excellent drawing skill. For exemple, Moëbius was pretty famous in USA for his scfi universe, but he begandrawing a western serie called Lieutenant Blueberry which is certainly one of the most impressive one you could ever read.

If you had told me back when I first watched your Gnomon DVD I still wouldn’t be as good as you in ten years, I might have been disheartened. Your draftsmanship was so inspiring, I’ve been studying your work off and on for a decade. Luckily, I practiced for so long I forgot about the goal and drawing is just a thing I do now. So cool you’re down to earth enough to release lessons. I hope more is coming. Thanks a million!

Amazing talent. Amazing drawings. I absolutely love those kind of extremely detailed pages at the beginning (right before they get inked I guess). I just regret I have never had (and never will have) the patience to do those kinda of detailed drawings. I usually only spend a few minutes on a drawing, then stop, watch what I've done and deem it fit to be thrown to the trash can. Thank you for your artworks and for your talent. Cheers from France.

I know your professional work but just found your channel. I've been binge watching and I'm amazed! I used to draw and when I was younger I thought I'd draw comics for a living. But as I got older, I lost my imagination. I began to draw more "still life" or photos even. But ive even stopped doing that (due to life and stuff). But watching you draw makes me feel like a kid again. As I see your picture take shape I get all "gitty" and find myself giggling with enjoyment! You make me want to start sketching again!! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I'm a visually kinesthetic learner. Meaning i have to actually see what i'm trying to learn, annalise it, then do it myself. So this genuinely helped me better understand shadow for a figure, as well as how to better draw those figures. (I may have accidentally analyzed how you draw the figures for penciling, then figured out how to put that into ink. Now i just need to practice it.)
