So helpful, best tutorial on people thus far, and I've seen a lot!

Karel here I just found you Eric . So helpful. I've been painting a while but you made it so understandable. Now I understand neutral tint also. I have to learn to darken those shadows more for the pop an use as little strokes as possible. Thanks

You captured the figures’ expressions yet the painting was loose. Remarkable! Thank you so much!

Eric, by far this video is the biggest revelation I have encountered while watching hundreds of watercolor demos online. The way you completely demystified the quick figure sketch is perfect. 7 1/2 heads!! And GPS!! I've been drawing off and on for 40 years but never got serious about it until now. And learning watercolors has made me indulge in your channel and the books of Joseph Zbukvic. I'm a big believer in having evidence of humanity in every painting to make it worthwhile. Even if it's just a coffee cup. But adding figures like these is such a joy now that I better understand the simplicity of your method. It is now my method too. Truly, this is a huge step forward for me. Thank you so very much. One more note.... Would you consider doing another video on this kind of figure sketching but for figures in seated positions, crouching, bending over, running, or from overhead? It would be so helpful to see how you tackle such subjects. Again, thank you.

I love your painting style!

Excellent! Nice and clear! GPS! Easy to remember that!

Thank you so much for this very helpful lesson.

Excellent tutorial Eric.

I've seen many figure artist's on youtube but you are the BEST ! Your easy to follow and you explain everything so well . "perfect"! I learned so much with just one of your videos. THANK YOU!!

Superb advice and video. Thanks very much Eric.

Eric, I follow your videos because of the clear and plain way that you explain how to develop a watercolor. Landscapes, buildings, figures and all the other subjects that you show us are so well presented and easy to understand. Thank You again and again!

Eric, you are a lifesaver. I only discovered you yesterday...binge-watching your channel now!!! You are taking the fear-element out of so many aspects.....thank you, thank you.

M. McCready thank you! And welcome ☺️

Fantastic video. I want to go run and try it! I love how you broke it all down and emphasized the shape not the details and then how the shadows gave it form. The GPS is now in my head. Thank you!

Brilliant teacher

What a pleasure to see this wonderful class. Thank you, Eric, for your invaluable contributions. Greetings from Maracay, Venezuela.

Great have been trying figures for ages in my paintings but they always looked wooden, will now practice your approach, Thankyou for another great lesson.

Thank you . :)

Beautiful eyes 😍

Came across this by luck as it's something I need to practice. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Eric, yes, nice comparison with charlie's head. I had to laugh spontaneously. The head of charlie is really easy to paint, yes. But such big frontal people don't occur so often in pictures like landscapes or city shots. I find it much more difficult to paint them when the people are further away, especially the G of GPS. Because even the small people are in motion or have an attitude that should be recognizable, I think.

Like the GPS promtt

This is a genius explanation! Thank you so much for sharing! Question: can we apply the water painting technique to oil painting? Thanks again. You have a new subscriber. I'm thrilled I came upon your channel. Blessings to you!

Thanks! all media share the same principles I believe. I came from oil background. The way to work with the media is really different though. With oil, you can do a lot more blending and cover things up much more easily
