Thank you for sharing this! As a kid, I too remember watching the Jim Lee interview and was amazed of how fluid and simple Jim's work is. I immediately, purchased Bridgman's book. The fact that I am not the only one who struggled with Bridgman's methods is humbling to say the least. Your channel is a wonderful resource for all artists to learn from. Thank you :)

when i first started, i hated the Bridgman books, to me they were complicated, pretentious and cryptic. Now after 3 years working in the game industry, i finally understood his methods of teaching and now i have a huge appreciation for his books. thank you for breaking down your journey.

I've been aware of Bridgman for some time now, but I recently got into studying him, first through the "100 hands" book, and now "Heads + features". Drawing it straight through using a mix of the intuitive methods found early in Nicolaides(contour, gesture, mass, memory) seems to be working for me. The page at 4:19 relates to something found in the hands book, which is where he describes the hand in terms of concentric circles. I believe Bridgman sees hands like he does figures, and sometimes gives his hands figure-like poses. Therefore he would look for a way to relate the information he saw in one to the other.

Ive watched all of those Stan Lee videos. The one with Will Eisner is amazing. Jim Lee had a stream going about a year ago that I would watch all the time. He is great at teaching.

Thank you for doing this. Very helpful. No one has explained Bridgman quite this well, nor how to make use of Bridgman to transform the way you think about drawing. In my own drawing your tutorial has has made all the difference.

Supposedly Frank Frazetta sat down and drew the whole Bridgeman’s book. After that he said he didn’t like to use references for his subjects and preferred to draw from imagination. Thanks for sharing these insights, I tried to draw this book many times and didn’t understand it. I’m going to give it another try! Cheers

The illustration at the bottom of page 22 Measurements is simply a blow up of the left of the drawing above it. As the arch of the gaze moves upward, the bottom of an object appears to move forward as the top appears to recede. The hard angular lines between the station point lines in the bottom illustration rudimentarily suggest the amount of departure. It's a complicated looking drawing of a simple principle ; ]

So helpful. Im very much a beginner, started drawing later in life for fun. I went through this book recently mostly because I saw it had the least amount of anatomy (Im not interested learning detailed anatomy, yet, or should I?). This was refreshing to hear your perspective on Bridgman. Im struggling and I assume some of his methods just aren't for me. I still get lost on Bridgman's "incidental" mark making in his drawings. How much should I copy when trying to copy the figures? Should I ignore most of the smaller marks/details? Maybe that's it, Im still not seeing the overall shapes yet and looking for details. Thanks again, love these reviews.

I recommend learning anatomy first before studying Bridgman. So you have the ability to discern what marks to overlook and which ones to take into account

3:58 I always thought these models were of limited usefulness because it all goes to hell when the pose bends, twists, or foreshortens. I mean, yeah I guess you could still divide it up according to a compressed head size but that still leaves out the elbow to naval and deltoid to nipple alignment.

I think bridgemans constructive anatomy is the better book to understand the shapes tbh
