Hey I have question I really love your art but I would like to know how do start to draw human body's its my first time drawing and do you have any art channels to recommend for beginners?
ooo very good question that is kind of tricky for me to answer… i really started learning figure drawing in college from a classically trained and chain smoking no-nonsense russian dude (affectionate) so finding one of those would be my first suggestion. barring that i would really recommend life drawing classes in your area- there are some good websites out there but i’ve found nothing really replaces what you get from observing and drawing a living person that’s right in front of you. i think having a teacher/mentor around is helpful, especially in the beginning, to let you kind of know where you’re going wrong, but that’s not always an option, especially if you’re out of school. bringing a sketchbook to a coffee shop and doodling the people around you is also a classic… that’ll help you just get comfortable observing people and how they move and the basic shapes that make them up
i don’t really watch any art channels unless they’re like… program tutorials? and that’s mostly for adobe illustrator for my job lol. if i’m looking for reference pinterest is usually a pretty good place to start. right now i go to a weekly figure drawing class in the weird basement of a local bar and that’s keeping me fresh. during lockdown i used line-of-action.com which has a lot of cool poses and bodies to see and a mode where you can edit how long you have each pose for
i’m sorry i don’t have more resources for you!!! my laptop from art school died a couple years back and lost everything from that time period in my life. i wish you the best of the luck, drawing is a lifetimee love of mine even though it drives me insane sometimes
