COOL STUFF, LOVE THIS TUT. YOU SHOULD MAKE IT SO THAT IT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR LATER REF. Sorry didnt realize I was shouting.

cool.

Awesome!

Thanks for sharing!. very helpful

Very helpful. It's easy to forget the basics, and I commend you for demonstrating it as concisely as you did. I learned about starting from the chest a while ago and it worked well for me, but my lizard brain caused me to revert to starting from the head. This is a sobering reminder. Start. From. The. Chest. Thanks...

wow! this is extremely helpful!
i'm not really good with human anatomy..
but.. thanks for sharing this

why always start with chest?

Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques!

Very kind of you do do this, I found it most fun to watch and helpful to hear it broken down like that! Thanks!

Your tutorials make me want to draw again.

This is crazy helpful - thank you!

WOW!

Bless you for this!

Woah, I mean... woah...

I've always been very poor when it came to sketching poses, they would always look ridiculously stiff and random (I always started drawing the head first... >>) except if I used a reference and insanely copied every line of it... just a simple sketch could take me some hours to end up freaking wrong, and I was afraid of *gasp* foreshortening and perspective...

then I saw this, and it kind of unlocked something... a big something, for in about one hour of seeing this, I was able to draw any pose I wanted, and actually WANTED to draw perspective and foreshortening, and could pull it off more quickly than ever before...

Really, I already knew those "build with geometric forms" tricks, and they never worked... they looked awkward as hell and took forever, and the pose were still off... while this approach just seems so natural. ^^

Anyway, I'm definitely grateful, drawing was starting to bore me, and theses tips just started my drawing rage again! Thanks a whole lot!

That is an incredibly simple and yet insanely useful pack of tips. Thank you!

You're a great person for sharing this. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and pointers!

Thank you, this is great!

Great tutorial, thank you

Thanks so much for the tips. I've been having trouble with posing as well, but I've been gesture drawing to help me get a good idea of how the body can be positioned.

Thanks for this. Very helpful indeed.

My problem is coming up with poses. I get the building of shapes but determining a pose just throws me off.

Wish I could download this. xP

Thank you. Just... thank you so much.

WHOA! these drawing tips are very helpful. i try to see what i was able to conjure up from memory..zilch but soon as i looked at a reference photo, i start seeing the magic! thank you for posting this because this is going to helpful with getting down quick gestures to wonderful build up for fleshing a character out!!!

and i also agree about anatomy. it's great to learn it but for me it was causing sooo much confusion. do i need this book, do i need to draw these tendons, how to make it look perfect(vitruvian man). i find this method with viewing things as shapes easier. i was told to look at things like that but just wasn't shown. the forearm looking like a bowling pin...i will never forget that or any of those other shapes for that matter!!!

once again thank you and cant wait for more tips!

Real helpful stuff thanks maestro ^^

Really, really nice.

Sometimes I have trouble when it comes to making limbs face directly at the 'camera' or something of the sort. I keep forgetting that I should layer the shapes to keep track.

Really cool and useful especially because of how it's shown like a video.
