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.
I'm loving this series of videos that seems to be going along with your roadmap.
when i drew this book a couple of years ago it was hard to understand.
"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!
Thank you so much for sharing the lessons you’ve learned over the years to help others along in their quest to get better. Respect.
You’re an amazing teacher! Finding lots of inspiration in your videos!
We all should go back to the basics from time to time..... It's Really cool the way you break it down & explain it! 🔥🔥
Yessss this is a blessing for us, thank you david❤️
Mr finch is back at it again with another banger!!!💯💯
Dave Finch is just my biggest inspiration and wow factor!
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. 👍
I’ve been studying this guy for like two years, Thank you.
This is great! Started to study Bridgeman a couple of years ago, but this is a great breakdown
I love how you take a lot of your time Dave to show how illustrating is done.....
