Bridgman Bootcamp 2020, Session 1 of 12

Wait what? The whole bootcamp will be released here?? Marshall couldn't possibly become any more of a legend

the way he stops, questions, yells, highlights how confusingly things are worded or explained is so cathartic . i think im gonna actually learn from this

I recently gotten serious about drawing, Despite wishing I started years ago when I was younger and had time,,, But no more regrets, no more self guilt-trapping, I am going to learn and learn. I was happy finding Bridgman's books last week, And I thought learning them would feel lonely but your video and future series(for me) will help a lot Doubt you read comments at all but thanks.

This wasn't a lecture, this was a sermon. 👏 👏 👏 👏

Legendary level:- Marshall Vandruff

Marshall delivers this with such conviction panache and flair, it's absolutely incredible. I am amazed.

Thank you so much, Marshall! I cherish every single opportunity I get to learn from you

Everytime i hear you speak about art you remind me that the thing that really matters is the love for the craft. That alone is worth so much.

You are a great man Marshall!!! Thanks for all your work!

I’m so thankful of your existence and the internet. ❤ Much love from Indonesia. ❤

I've never understood Bridgman until this very moment. Some things (in fact, many things) you can learn on your own.. Not Bridgman. Marshall, thank you.

Your energy and humour are gonna be my fuel to study this difficult subject of anatomy

I had the complete guide on my shelf for decades now (the yellow one) I didn’t understand a single thing he wrote back when I bought it. Have been getting back into drawing lately, just for fun - lots of trees. Somehow ended up again at drawing boxes, got interested in anatomy and re-read the first 20 or so pages, then drew along with what he wrote and suddenly it all makes sense. It’s as if he wrote it in a way that FORCES you to think about it, and by actively thinking about it, you’re learning much better. But some passages are hard to understand for a non native speaker, so I came looking if someone took apart the book. Your video is tremendously helpful! I will try to get as far as possible in my own, and watch when there’s a language barrier again.

this guy is great. thank you youtube for the recommendation.additionally the convex = away and concave = towards differentiation IMMEDIATELY improved my art. crazy

I've just found this. What a fantastic resource. As a teacher and an artist I am bowled over! I'm rewinding, rewatching and even laughing sometimes. I particularly love the fact you point out Bridgman's inconsistencies whilst encouraging us to enjoy them!

In drawing from the model, I developed the habit of blocking in the trunk first--thorax and pelvis--adding the limbs and head/neck secondarily. My first teacher, former illustrator Gustav Rehberg, had us draw 20 one-minute poses every day. That became my favorite part of the class and it was the most valuable practice to drawing the body in action in space. To get the action, the appendages--limbs and head/neck--were for me subordinate to the position and twisting of the trunk to get an accurate (and lively) recording of the form.

You're a legend! I've had Bridgmans book for years and always meant to do a serious study of it. I will be watching all of this boot camp.

I love the way he talks lol this is so useful

Marshall thank you so much. 👍🏼

Invaluable series. Thank you so much for this.
