Studying Bridgmen for Figure Drawing

This video is all about studying Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life. This is part two of my getting started learning to draw comics series, so if you haven't watched part one, I highly recommend that you watch that first. Bridgman is the foundation of my figure drawing, and this kind of study, whether from Bridgman, or another source of your choosing, is an essential part of your development as a figurative artist.

    I did the entire "Copy Bridgman Twice" routine back in 2022, and it was one of the biggest turning points in my art learning journey. Not only did it strengthen my figure drawing, it also taught me the value of drawing what you saw from memory. Memory drawing is something I've incorporated in my practice ever since then. Thank you for your guidance, Finch-sensei

    "What is this muscle here? You know what? I just don't care." Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

    Here it is! The hardest, longest part of the art journey. Thank you so much for laying it out so plainly for us. Nothing to it but to do it!

    Finished the homework of redrawing every illustration in Bridgman's Complete Guide. It's crazy I started less than a month ago. Feels longer.

    Haha how weird. Earlier this morning I returned to Bridgman to resolidify my understanding of wedging, interlocks, and planes then I open KZread and see this in my feed. Great minds Mr Finch!

    Thank you for making your videos using a pencil instead of using a digital device. A pencil makes things more alive and spontaneous.

    "The frontal whatever" 🤌Knowing the anatomy terminology is great. But knowing the shapes is what helps. Thanks for always having that subtly mentioned in your work!

    Great content, Dave! Can definitely see the Bridgman influence in your art in terms of the angularity you mentioned

    These two videos have been invaluable for me. Most of my practice of late revolves around them & I've seen a vast improvement in my own work. Thanks for spending the time putting them together for us. 👍
