After buying his book.

Bridgeman is fantastic, but by no means is he beginner friendly.

>>4354106
>Picture with a pec completely disconnected from the shoulder

That was done by his students, there's quite a few drawings. Standards these days are a joke.

Complete /beg/ here, I watched on a video where karl kopinski said that if you are gonna copy someone, copy the guys that are amazing, not the ones that are just good.
So I bought a complete guide to drawing from life and i've been studying it for like a week now and its been raping me lol.
I just hope that when i finisht it my drawings look more decent.
Also since this is a bridgman thread what book is better for me to buy next, 'Constructive Anatomy' or 'The human machine'?.

>>4354176
Constructive Anatomy.
>So I bought a complete guide to drawing from life and i've been studying it for like a week now and its been raping me lol.
Keep doing it.

>>4354117
This honestly, Loomis, Vilppu, Hampton and etc are who're gonna give you the knowledge necessary to study Bridgeman and actually understand it

>>4354149
Huh?

>>4354113
Lol no.

>Boys, a queer thing happened to me after I left the class last Tuesday. There was a coal wagon backed up onto the sidewalk on 48th street shooting coal into a cellar. As I passed by a fellow stuck his head, all begrimed with coal, out of the cellar and said "hello Mr. Bridgman." I said, "why hello there who are you?" Oh, the fellow said, don't you remember me? I was number one in your class last year.... The story varied; sometimes it was an iceman or a voice from a manhole.
Sounds like everything about this guy is a joke too.

I saw George Bridgman at an art supply store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for life studies or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and gesture drawing with his hand in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen charcoal sticks in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the sticks and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any anatomical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each stick and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

When I learn that Bridgman taught Loomis, Frank Reilly (whose student taught Watts, who taught Proko)
Going with Vilppu isn't a bad idea either.

>>4355901
I'm sensing Borges energy from this.

but who thought bridgeman?

>>4355974

>>4356899
Who is this?

>>4354106
Why not Bargue?, Who Gerome used as a drawing teacher for many students.

>>4357090
The guy from breaking bad

>>4354106
who?

>>4357451
exactly

>>4357451
Based

>>4354150
where can i read more stories like this?

>>4356836
Gerome

>>4357308
>Why not Bargue?
You need a teacher who knows his shit for Bargue, it's not something for self-teaching

>>4360867
Theres literally a course of Bargue on vitruvian initiative

>>4354172
This isnt a mental illness thread.

I didn't because it's not true.

>>4360867
lol it was for self teaching actually.

>>4361900
Maybe you should read it too, it was literally made for ateliers so the teacher could constantly correct the mistakes the students made.

I like Bridgman a lot, recently bought the green "Life Drawing" book and it does require some effort to understand what's going on but if you put in the time and effort it will teach you quite a lot.
I also have "Constructive Anatomy" which I find really useful too.
The books are quite cheap so I'm looking to get as many as I can.

>Doesn't even draw hands.
Lazy/10

>>4362032
He has a book for that.

The virgin bridgman vs the chad hogarth

>one of the best teachers of anatomy
>is a Chad
>always recommends Bridgman
I think I'm now a Bridgman fag too

>>4362032
this drawing doesn't have it either

>>4361916
yes but it was also for self teaching as prep work for various careers using the arts. I own it btw. Also the application of sight-size is err.

>>4355988
watts studied with orbik, westermoe, who studied with fixler, who studied with reilly. Also Ted Seth Jacobs to taught, Jacob Collins, studied with reilly

>>4354106
When I realized I innately rounded and weakened the forms I studied. Bridgman's blocky af forms really helped me

>>4362162
wtf is that?

>>4355988
Erik recommends vilppu and ive heard Jeff mention him in a positive light too. Erik gist even has a free pdf book he made on fundamental figure drawing well worth checking it and easy to find with a google search.
