@ryanbnjmnart dives into the art of character creation using the Hulk as an example. You’ll see how he begins with the foundational shapes, gradually adding complexity through anatomy, motion, and expression. Emphasizing the balance between accurate human anatomy and dynamic super hero proportions, the demo teaches you techniques for refining a drawing with detailed hands, expressive faces, and energetic poses. There’s also tips on using shadows and highlights to enhance realism and depth, alongside practical advice on continuous improvement and error correction.

    Ryan is insanely talented, you can tell the years of work he’s put in to getting to his level
  • @drBenyy
    For some reason Ryan Benjamin's videos always teach me the most
  • @nathanhittle348
    I'm a self-taught artist and my drawing improved SO MUCH when I started "drawing loose" as Ryan says around 2:00. What I've found is that 75% of the time, by keeping things loose, forms and shapes and lines will actually reveal THEMSELVES to you, and then it's just as easy as locking them in.
  • It's not the poses I have issues with It's the CLOTHES with the poses I have issues with. A lot of my characters have intricate flowing clothing and it's a pain trying to find references to use so it looks realistic and not "paper dollish" you know those paper dolls from the 50s you'd fold paper clothes on before Barbie and others came about.
  • Awesome teacher. I'm glad I understand a lot of what he's explaining. Now, the application is another story, haha.
  • @hypnosigils
    i'm loving this series! i used to, religiously, always start placing the head, but mr. Ryan made me realize that, by starting with the core/torso, i get better dynamic and interesting poses, I just had to learn/adapt to place the head later. thank you very much for these video lessons, they are amazing ❤
  • Watching this video currently, brilliant video for sure. I could relate so much with acting out the pose in the mirror since that's what I do myself when I'm unsure of the pose I want, as well as the thing about eyes. Eyes are my favorite part of the artwork, what you show in the entire artwork—the face, primarily the eyes can capture it all, as I see it. Keep these videos up Proko!
  • @chiptenor
    Excellent, Ryan. Wonderful rendering, as always, along with your expert and thoughtful commentary. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  • @Thollis1987
    Ryan is very talented, and he really breaks down his methods of drawing comic book characters very well.❤
  • I wish they could make a course about 20 hours long just watching you guys draw all the super heros over and over and over just like this one. Awesome.
  • your hand moves very gracefully. i learned alot by watching the way you hold yout pencil. thank you for sharing techniques with all of us
  • @Hum0ng0us
    Locking in the chest area and core by drawing with your Whole Arm!!! Just adds a beautiful kinda loose flow to the pose. As an Animator, I still get a kick out of seeing people do that well.
  • @SimpleSlave
    Love your work in Phantom Guard. Glad you're still around doing your thing. 👍
  • I love this method that you have, I’ve been doing art for 30 plus years already and yet I’m still learning, no matter how good you are, the key to learning and keep learning is to know nothing but keep learning if that makes sense…
  • @theELchiguiro
    I am currently doing an illustration for an online contest and the information in this video came to me like a godsend.
  • @JoeyStrombolli
    I just finished studying arm anatomy a week ago this vid is a huge help as I am learning the hands next! Thank you Proko 😁
  • @DeeVanfeld
