I found that if you ignore the images, read what he says, imagine what he says, and THEN look at his drawings- and THEN draw them- you’ll understand his methods a lot better.

Except I don't understand what the man is saying half the time, his vocabularies are beyond me man. I have to search up each and every new word, feels like I'm learning english not anatomy. However, despite this I will keep going, because I actually have nothing else to do right now....

Man, everyone is saying how I should "practice figure by simplifying it into boxes" but you are the only person on youtube who actualy gave me a reason to, because obviously if I just draw boxes whole day I will only improve at primitive form and perspective (which I did) but I would never learn to draw what I actualy want: realistic looking people and animals, your more complex organic forms as a next step after boxes are EVERYTHING I ever wanted to learn abouf form and you explained it all perfectly, great job!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I think my latest figure drawing video is a good follow up to this one that integrates all these methods of figure drawing together. You're 100% right that if you only draw box people you'll get stuck there, but I think it has some valuable info when placing figures in perspective

This video helped me so much, I always struggle with drawing the body, especially with making the body look 3 dimensional. I should really pick up this book sometime.

keep uploading videos like this one, James. They are really helpful

When I started using the Bridgman CONSTRUCTIVE ANATOMY book many years ago to teach myself human anatomy, my drawings of the figure (out of my head) improved tremendously! (This is before I had ever done any life drawing.) I later had a drawing instructor whose father had studied with Bridgman.

I discovered your channel because of the Draftsman podcast on Proko and wow this is rich content! It feels very clear and concise and I really appreciate the structure the videos have. I really feel like I can follow along and study and as an artist that was raised as a homeschooler this is extremely valuable.

Dude you're skills and style and everything is like my biggest inspiration. Obviously this comment is outside of the actual focus of the study of bridgeman but just having gone through many of your videos and how you have adopted many of the skills of the masters and able to apply it with absolute precision in your own way, just blows my mind and what I have always aspired to achieve from many of those same masters. You are a true moderndaymaster James. Thanks for what you provide I'm always astonished in amazement.

From time to time I come back here to refresh my Bridgman understanding. I have more than one of his books but I found your lessons a lot more pleasant and engaging than going back to the books themselves. It's a pity you're not doing this kind of lessons anymore

i hear your voice in my dreams.

Nooo. I think he meant that he watches this like midnight or every night so he was dreaming about it because he frequently watches his video before he sleeps. It happens to me sometimes

Great video! Really glad you're picking up Bridgeman and honing that gesture/form that Proko is known for teaching. The best of both worlds: constructional and gestural.

Congrats ! Very approacheable video. I remember drawing lessons the first year of fine arts being super confused trying to draw not very good copies of classic sculptures, and totally failing at looking at the strcutre over the detail. Drawing should start here. And bridgeman is insane.

Coming to this video as a student that once took art classes. I’ve had some past experience studying anatomy, doing live drawings of models and still lifes, even using bones and other objects for reference. But as someone who hasn’t drawn human anatomy in a long time, this purchase, and videos related to the subject, are a great refresher. I’m no Leonardo, but as someone who considers themselves an experienced intermediate, I always appreciate videos as a visual aid, especially if paired with books and other materials.

Great video! It has been so long since I've read Bridgman's constructive drawing, I got a copy when I decided that I wanted to pursue art as a career, back then the book was a bit on the overwhelming side for a self taught beginner like me, now seeing this video the content makes a lot of sense! Thanks for putting this tutorial together! : )

I worked through one of his books and really felt like I'd made some progress, must go back to that. Thanks present times Jim!

I got this book from my local bookstore a few weeks ago. Was utterly confused but at least this video cleared some parts up for me. Really Helpful!

this was a very insightful video, i've owned this book for a long time, but I've never been able to interpret bridgman's style. as a person still learning, bridgman was super confusing, but this video did help with how to look at his work. Thank you!

Thanks for rekindling my motivation to continue with bridgman. You're killing it in this one mdj.

Brilliant - I've seen quite a few vids on Bridgman, many seem to make it more, not less, complex. I love your take on his work. Bravo.

it's nice to see someone explain Bridgman. I stumbled across his "Constructive Anatomy" years ago and asap got my hands on "Drawing from Life". All of my peers would always suggest Loomis, which is a good resource too, but I was always more drawn to Bridgman. And as far as getting this info from a college, fuh gedah a 'bout it...

Bridgman's book is amazing. I still refer to it more than twenty years after and I still learn from it. Thanks for this video, it's a great commentary!

This is probably one of the most helpful video's i've seen on YT for artists thank you

I love the nutcracker playing in the background. These figures have a great flow as if they are dancing.

Ive been looking for this video!

Gracias a ti por grabar el video, siempre es bueno facilitar la idea de como hacer las cosas, más para un artita, suerte en todo.

your channel is a gemstone bro, thanks for all this content, will be checking out your gumroad series soon.

my fav art youtuber and my fav artistic anatomy book!! mind blown

Wow! You are an incredible artist! Sincerely, my brother, you've put the effort in to practice and it really shows. Absolutely superb. Liked and favourited. Great stuff thank you for making this video.

This is the first vid I’ve seen of yours, definitely subscribing, this was really helpful and informative. Definitely seeing about buying that book

This is exactly the video I needed right now! Thank you so much!!

Really good stuff you got here, simple, direct, to the point, no fluff, substantial content. Thanks.

Ufff mucha inspiración en un vídeo, necesito mas gracias hermano!

GREAT choice of music, perfect for the figure drawing! Excellent video

Nice really love that textured background behind the sketch it looks so appealing as compared to the plain white one

Why do your drawings look so nice? I really can't describe it, but the lines have such a pleasing quality about them.

I think the book 'bridgeman drawing from life' is really useful and James explains the principles well. I previously had the bridgemen constructive anatomy and although a helpful reference it misses the vital information that helped me tie it all together.

I love your use of music. Thanks for abridging this book for us

Thanks for this video! You're inspiring me

Thanks for this video! I've been studying Bridgeman for years and I still find him a bit confusing at times. Thank you!

Your drawings are better than many artists I love your channel, teaching method and approach to drawings. Awesome, thank you.

Great video, AND with one of my favorite songs. Big win.

FINALLY SOMEONE TRIES TO BREAKDOWN AND EXPLAIN BRIDGMAN! THANK YOU MDJ. THANK YOU... *tears of joy*

Thanks for understanding.

Lordy this is extremely helpful! ♥️♥️♥️

Good vid! Bridgeman is godsent when I start overthinking anatomy.

I have ordered the book. But after seeing this and another KZread video I feel like I'm going to be scared to open it when it comes. To advanced! But I'm gonna get through it. Your video will be helpful! :)

This is simply amazing, I got the grasp of muscle position and their interactions and I can get nice drawings of individual limbs or similar single body parts but still it's a struggle with combining them in a complete drawing, it helps so much when you have a method to follow for improving. Tanks a lot

This is literally what I needed after purchasing bridgman’s book, PLEASE keep up with the series

at first i thought this series is too complicated for my smol brain but after studying the book myself and going through a lot of confusion then going back to this, my mind is blown how good this series explained it

Thank you moderndayjames! 🥺🥺

wow... cant believe I missed this video of yours (being subbed fro quite a while now) Anyways the first part about lines continuation is such an "aha" moment! For a while now I cant understand why my gesture drawing looks so flat. Now I get it! Thank you thank you thank you Your channel is gold, cant even describe this video benefit... Cant wait to get to a paper and a pen and try it out! Thank you (again)

Awesome. Exactly what I need right now.

thaksfor that man!!! love this one

I've been struggling for a while with adding a sense of form to the body and I've been unsure how to remedy that, I think Bridgman might be the answer I was looking for.

Thanks to this video I buyed those books of Bridgman. Very useful

One of my favorite of your videos! Keep it up!

asking yourself why every single line is there is a good way to study these drawings. beautiful line work.

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH WOAHHH

Looking for a video like this for a while, KZread recommendations are sooooo late

Very relevant. Thanks.

I find the aesthetic of Bridgeman’s figures and heads amazing. Emulating his technique is very challenging to me though. Takes a solid understanding of the anatomy to get Bridgeman IMO

Thank you James. Is there any chance you have more related material and commentary you could put into a longer video? I’d happily pay for such.

Amazing series !!

I watched one video and immeadietly subscribed to him

this is very helpful!.. thank you. i will apply it!

Wow you mentioned Sinix! You 2 are some of my favorite artubers

Nice lesson, thank you, Bridgman's books are the best!

thanks for this.

i loved the tutorial, thank you

mm helped me a lot, thanks🥺

I always tell myself that I just need two anatomies for the artist: Bammes' "Gestalt des Menschen" for the technique and Bridgman for the rythm. With his techniques you get really nice and flowing gestures. Reminds me to look into the books once again ;)

it was fun to draw along

This is a great series

Really cool and instructive video as always, I will buy the book too! Love the classic music ;)

Thank you so much. Its just impossible to not order that book after watching this :D

Him: draws so beautifully Me: can't even draw a perfect square

Cool intro to what looks like a great book! Thanks :)

i like classical music on background) thanks for lessons))

Wow! Just wow! Moderndayjames: started to draw organic lines! Me: immediately hit SUBSCRIBE!

George bridgemans book was also my first book it took me 5 months to finish the book because i barely understood anything and the I dint even know what some words meant...

Excelente material. Gracias

Cool video, the book is great.

Bridgeman can be a bit hard to digest... Thanks for this video, it helps!!

I was skeptical at first, but this video is actually good.
