Күн бұрын

@ryanbnjmnart dives into the art of character creation using the Hulk as an example. You’ll see how he begins with the foundational shapes, gradually adding complexity through anatomy, motion, and expression. Emphasizing the balance between accurate human anatomy and dynamic super hero proportions, the demo teaches you techniques for refining a drawing with detailed hands, expressive faces, and energetic poses. There’s also tips on using shadows and highlights to enhance realism and depth, alongside practical advice on continuous improvement and error correction.

I'm a self-taught artist and my drawing improved SO MUCH when I started "drawing loose" as Ryan says around 2:00. What I've found is that 75% of the time, by keeping things loose, forms and shapes and lines will actually reveal THEMSELVES to you, and then it's just as easy as locking them in.

Watching this video currently, brilliant video for sure. I could relate so much with acting out the pose in the mirror since that's what I do myself when I'm unsure of the pose I want, as well as the thing about eyes. Eyes are my favorite part of the artwork, what you show in the entire artwork-the face, primarily the eyes can capture it all, as I see it. Keep these videos up Proko!

Yo I loved that he said learning 3D helped him to illustrate in 2D. I was like “Yesss!” Literally watching blender tutorials recently taught me to start thinking like I’m walking around the scene… “and what goes where, and what should be carved out here, etc”. my drawings look so much more 3-dimensional now! And that really is the aim of 2D illustration-to look 3-dimensional. Not flat

I personally drew like this as well. There was a time when I could pretty consistently draw without using these steps (early 20's to late 20's) drawing it directly like that Korean artist. Funny thing about drawing, you keep improving as long as you do it. When you don't, you actually lose your skills. People that don't know what you were capable of might be impressed, but to me myself it feels amateurish. Basically drew from 5 years old till late 20's (Basically all I did during class, otherwise I was getting into trouble...😅). It's almost been 15 years since I've really drawn (Basically since I've stopped school). Started out with superheroes and transformers/robotech, then turtles. Afterwards pretty much nothing but fighting game characters (mainly snk/capcom), making either portraits, a character art, or something like a cover. Always drew with either a ballpoint pen or fillingpen(?). Really miss drawing and thinking about drawing again, but time is not abundant enough 😅.

What I really love about this Hulk drawing is that he didn't Overly "Muscularize" him! So many comic artists draw Hulk with too much muscle definition. This drawing has more energy and how Hulk might look while in motion! Just the right amount of detail.

You can tell this is someone who knows their craft incredibly deeply. How? He's more concerned with pretty much everything else except the actual mechanics of drawing (though those are sprinkled in for us to see, too!): story, action, vibe, feeling, emotion, etc.

when drawing a figure like this, the more I think and try to visualize about the real underlying form of the bone or muscle, the worst the drawing become. but just thinking in simple shapes, sometimes 2d shapes makes it better. Also, naming it in my head as a very broad term like "upper body" and "lower body" instead of ribcage and pelvis help. I seem to have this wrongly perceived shape of a ribcage and pelvis that keep reappearing in my head whenever the name is mentioned. Is this something that will change the more I learn about anatomy ? Does people who master anatomy literally visualize the actual form of the bones and muscles instead of the simple form ?

It's not the poses I have issues with It's the CLOTHES with the poses I have issues with. A lot of my characters have intricate flowing clothing and it's a pain trying to find references to use so it looks realistic and not "paper dollish" you know those paper dolls from the 50s you'd fold paper clothes on before Barbie and others came about.

Me at the start: Nice this is something I might doodle. I'm closer to being a pro artist than I thought. Me once he brings out the black pencil: Wait how's he doing that? Me once the details and shading come: Where'd the perspective come from? What is happening? Me at the end: Lies. All lies...show me the real process.

@ProkoTV 14 күн бұрын

That's the point of this video. Establishing the torso and hips of the character then allows him to quickly riff on the placement of the other forms. Nothing else has to inform the perspective.
