Excelentes remarks, thanks

Thank you <3

A perfect summary and great reminder of what to consider.

Thank you❤🙏

Great suggestions!

Nice

So good

After watching endless videos on figure and life drawing I keep coming back to this one video. It says it all. I know it has profoundly shaped the way I approach my drawings. I hope you will do many more on this subject.

Thanks so much, absolutely helpful 🙏🙏💚

Thankyou im very new to figure drawing and this is rather helpful!! My favorite tip that i want to try out is definitely the shadows behind areas where your showing lighting to make it pop, as that is great.thankyou for the video :]

Reminded me of all the years of life-drawing classes I've had..... these were short...and mostly better. Thanks

Your videos always keep on educating me, much appreciate.

Arigato sense

so great, thank you

Such a helpful video in a concise period of time. Thank you so much - I watched before going to life drawing last night and concentrated on those overlaps…makes such a difference. Now, I need to haul out that Bargue book (the cheaper one with just the drawings) and PRACTICE! Thank you Ian! Are you using the Blackwing Matte pencil? or the 602? Appreciate all your good videos!

I've revisited this lesson 4 times now, spread across many months and with many figure drawing classes/sessions in between watches. The tips you've shared here served me so well when I first started drawing in a studio last year, and it is always a joy to come back to them, too. Thank you so much!

It was quite useful. Thanks

Yes show me sum buts and i will be pro artist

Would so love to do course on figure drawing / painting, with a focus on composition. Mastering Composition was fantastic.

Thankyou I feel more educated already now I just need to practice what you have taught

The length of the video is perfect great video!

thank you for sharing with us....

What a wonderful and helpful video, Ian! I may have to watch this several times, as I love figure drawing, and using figures in their natural environment in my paintings! Merci, merci beaucoup!

Thank you for clear lesson and advices!

Absolutely insightful.

Hi Ian, what pencils did you use in this video please??

I swear to G-d if I start saying "againe" from watching these videeo s

I have just watched your figure drawing video and I wondered if you have any videos for beginners who want to draw
I have watched a lot of your videos this week having found you about a week ago and I have gained such a lot from them .
I feel I have a good grounding of how to go about doing art altogether .
I have saved all of them for reference as I go along
Thank you so much for the time effort and generosity you have given me on here
Best wishes Lynda

Are you having classes anytime soon to join on line?
