Has anybody here seriously studied this guy? How much did you improve, compared to the other teachers / methods you studied?
>>7139264he is feel the form x10, watched his video lessons on nma
>>7139264>Has anybody here seriously studied this guy?I read his books but I didn't improve much because I don't draw that much. Nice theory but you need to draw a lot I guess.
>>7139264Yeah there's one anon from /lsg/ who's really good and he suggested Mattesi
Nearly everyone in his paid discord are permabegs it's almost scary even thinking about trying to spend 1, 2, 5 years on a single doctrine just finding schizo force connections. Ctrl+F "anime" pulls up nearly no results which told me all I needed to know. Then I ctrl+f keywords in a server dedicated for anime animation and barely if any results recommend him. Furthermore I think >>7139738 isn't being truthful. There is no way he went through his material because there is a lot of material to cover and not that many people are graduates of his system.
>>7139748+I do know that there are people who mention his book as a recommendation in passing but again, he has a LOT of material and barely anyone is a graduate on his force website, only a few people. So the internet is full of bull shit people recommending coffee mat books that they themselves don't read.

>>7139858Force books make a good coffee mat don't get me wrong.
>>7139865You paid $40 for a drawing book to use as coffee mat. Instead of using the /ic/ torrent. Good job.
>>7139875Why not? It sure is durable, and you can rip the pages out to use as replacement Bounty paper towels if coffee spills.
>>7139748>just finding schizo force connections.This really is the best way to describe how he teaches drawing. It's bizarre and fascinating and totally impractical for beginners to do. Beginners should be learning proportion and form, not this shit.
what are some good alternatives for learning gesture or creating poses from imagination. I tried reading his book, but it really feels like theory you apply when you already know how to draw rather than a method to draw
>>7139975Vilppuu
>>7139922It's pretty basic gesture, very similar to Vilpu. Not sure what you don't get there.
>>7140181Do you have any very basic gestures of your own you can provide as examples?
>>7139748>server dedicated for anime animation and barely if any results recommend him.A few Japanese animators rec him like picrel.
>>7140190There are no Japanese alumni on his website. Just because they're Japanese doesn't change anything.
>>7140181No, it's more like contour drawing in a specific and idiosyncratic wayVilppu is saner. It's just about rhythms. There's an actual difference between Mattesi and Vilppu, if you pay attention
>>7140185Sure. These are from life, quick poses, less than 5 min I think. I don't use FORCE or w/e, I'm more of a Reily with some Vilpu guy.>>7140200My point is it's just a slightly different take on C/S/I lines. Matessi just really pushes the C lines.
>>7140249>I don't use FORCEThat's my whole argument. 1. Nobody does2. Those that do are lying3. There are only a few graduates from Force website that have actually gone through all of his material while the rest are permabegs who've been there giving Mike $40/month to scribble "force" for years4. Japanese people can suck my dick for also being lying, deceitful cunts5. Your drawings have no "force".
I've read a good deal of the force book (acquired for free) and watched a solid amount of his weekly force videos on youtube (+ also read the bridgeman anatomy books and the loomis book on heads/hands)Been drawing for ~6 years and I feel his content is not for beginners at all, if I had tried this method when I first started id be getting nowhere quick; but as a rather advanced artist, holy fuck it helped a shit ton in sketching bodies and getting out of my head about anatomy. You have to recreate/draw along with the book (and videos) to get anything out of it then go off and do your own figure drawing sessions and apply what you learned. To be honest, I don't care at all for the Bridgeman anatomy books, but Loomis method has some solid techniques
>>7139922I do this naturally sometimes
>>7140190which animator is that?
>>7140181>>7140249yeah, you're not good enough to understand how insane Mike's Force philosophy isRecommending force is like recommending terminally ill people to visit a voodoo doctor
>>7140170The drawing manual? or does he have another book?
