what is balance. 3 00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:08,970 Balance is just basically when you're drawing a figure or a pose. 4 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:10,530 You want them to look like their balance. 5 00:00:10,530 --> 00:00:12,600 So you don't want them to look like they're about to fall over. 6 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,030 You want them to look like they're nice and sturdy. 7 00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:18,300 The times when you do want them to look unbalanced as when somebody is in action. 8 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,200 So if somebody is walking or running or jumping. 9 00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:24,860 Those are the times you want to look in balance because you wanted to kind of look like they're falling. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,910 So let's have a look at some photograph examples and I want to draw our own example. 11 00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:31,730 So let's start with this first one right here. 12 00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:35,130 You can see that we have this woman and she would be considered balance. 13 00:00:35,130 --> 00:00:36,320 Now let's talk about why. 14 00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:43,530 So if we were to draw her rib cage like that basically somewhere within this area where the color bones 15 00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:49,470 are in step we want to draw up a line coming straight down to where her feet are and you can see that 16 00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:51,450 that line falls between her feet. 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,240 Now it doesn't fall directly between her feet because most of the weight is on this leg right here. 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,370 And that's why you kind of see it being more closer to this line if you wanted to even out the weight 19 00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:04,110 where you could do as you can move this leg out. 20 00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:11,550 So it's kind of evenly the same way as this leg over here or if you wanted to shift the weight over 21 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:16,080 to this other leg what you do is you'd straighten this leg out so that it was more in line with this 22 00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:23,450 center of gravity line and you'd move the other leg out but the reason why this is balanced is because 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,470 the center of gravity line is between the two legs so it's evenly dispersed. 24 00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:30,560 Now let's have a look at another example. 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,120 So here's a girl and she is actually falling because her center of gravity is off. 26 00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:40,250 If we were to go ahead and kind of decide right about here in the middle of the chest is where her center 27 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:41,380 of gravity will be. 28 00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:46,670 We'll go ahead and bring a line straight down to the level of her feet and you can see that there. 29 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:52,100 The line is off to the side of both her feet and that is bad unless you want them to look like they're 30 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:52,430 falling. 31 00:01:52,450 --> 00:01:54,910 But if you want him to look balanced this is not good. 32 00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:59,540 And that's why she looks like she's falling over is because we automatically know that she's unbalanced 33 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,060 because our center of gravity isn't evenly dispersed on to her feet. 34 00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:06,690 So we look at a another example. 35 00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:11,450 So here we have a male and this is a good example where the centre of gravity can actually be pushed 36 00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:16,970 to one leg or one limb if this is the center of gravity is right there about the middle of the chest 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,860 we draw a straight line straight down. 38 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:24,350 You can see that it just goes right through this leg and this leg back here it's almost not holding 39 00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:24,790 any weight. 40 00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:29,030 It's just kind of helping him keep his balance a little bit but it's not really holding much of the 41 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:33,680 weight because you can see that he's just kind of has his toe on the ground and that's the only contact. 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200 So this foot is not holding very much weight. 43 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,790 Most of it is going into this foot. 44 00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:42,380 If we were to see this from the front it probably looks something like this center of gravity probably 45 00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:44,270 coming down like that. 46 00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:53,960 We have his foot that's holding all the weight and then this back leg right here is probably kind of 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,370 crossing back like this 48 00:02:59,270 --> 00:03:01,520 and just barely touching the ground with his toe 49 00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,730 as you can see his body is kind of leaning over here so that means right here his body would also have 50 00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:12,990 to be leaning over like that 51 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:17,810 right. 52 00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:19,850 Let's look at one more example. 53 00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:23,700 So our center of gravity it doesn't always have to use the feet. 54 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,950 It can use the knees it can use the hands it can use anything that's really holding up the weight. 55 00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:33,560 So in this case as Spider-Man you can see that he actually has three points of contact with the ground. 56 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,170 So we have the foot right here. 57 00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:38,030 We have the knee right there and the hand right there. 58 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:45,290 And so if we draw a line coming straight down from the chest that you can see that basically he has 59 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:49,290 a hand on the ground and he on the ground and his foot on the ground. 60 00:03:49,460 --> 00:03:54,630 And you could even probably include that foot back there but most of it is probably these three spots. 61 00:03:54,630 --> 00:04:00,560 And what it's doing is it's evenly dispersing most the way across those three points of contact. 62 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,360 So really what you're looking for for balance is you need a point of contact and it either needs to 63 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,550 be divided up between different areas different points of contact or it needs to be going through one 64 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:11,240 point of contact. 65 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,200 So for example with this one it was just going through his one leg. 66 00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:18,260 That's where the balance is all the way is being held in that one leg. 67 00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:20,660 So let's go ahead and let's draw our own example. 68 00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,780 So we'll go ahead and add a new layer. 69 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:24,670 Let me go ahead and fill this background with whites. 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,230 We have a new blank canvas. 71 00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:30,290 I'll switch my color over to kind of a blue color dark blue 72 00:04:34,970 --> 00:04:35,210 All right. 73 00:04:35,290 --> 00:04:36,880 That looks good. 74 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,230 So let's go ahead and draw. 75 00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:40,590 So let's say we're drawing a male character. 76 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,470 So I'm going to start by just kind of roughly sketching out the head 77 00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:58,430 he'll have his neck come down then we'll have his just do an oval to represent his rib cage that and 78 00:04:58,790 --> 00:05:02,540 in this case what I'm going to do is I'm going to kind of draw some straight lines coming across like 79 00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:06,350 this because I want that to be kind of the front plain of the chest right. 80 00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:12,820 So if it's kind of a cube it be kind of like that and then I want his pelvis area to kind of be twisted 81 00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:14,110 a little bit more forward 82 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:31,990 so now we know how long the leg needs to be it needs to be from here to there. 83 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:36,310 So just kind of eyeball how long that looks that looks pretty good. 84 00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:39,780 And then I can go ahead and draw in the leg. 85 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,470 So you just kind of make lightning bolt. 86 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,240 Sheep 87 00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:49,670 do the same thing on the sun 88 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,170 scratch my shoulders 89 00:07:08,490 --> 00:07:08,690 all right. 90 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:09,210 So there we go. 91 00:07:09,210 --> 00:07:12,160 There's just kind of a rough sketch of a pose. 92 00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:17,240 And let's go ahead and check it and see if it's balanced so I'll just switch over back to my red. 93 00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:21,460 So the center of the chest is right about there if we ring a line straight down. 94 00:07:21,590 --> 00:07:24,770 You can see that it just kind of runs right there through that leg. 95 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:28,790 Now this probably actually could have been the chest could actually probably move back a little bit 96 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:33,010 because right now it doesn't actually look like all the way is on that leg. 97 00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:37,460 And so what I would want to do to fix it is I'd want to move the whole chest and arms and head and all 98 00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:42,620 that I'd want to move it back in that direction and that way the center would kind of move more to the 99 00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:43,550 middle of those two. 100 00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:47,360 So what I could do really quick since I'm in Photoshop just to demonstrate this to you. 101 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:54,840 I can go ahead and just kind of cut that off right about there. 102 00:07:55,810 --> 00:08:01,090 And then using my move tool I can just go ahead and move that over a little bit 103 00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,890 and then I can just kind of smooth this back into each other don't fix it 104 00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:21,260 so I can just kind of smooth these lines all back in just kind of fix it up a bit. 105 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:23,370 All right let's go ahead check it now. 106 00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:26,830 So if I drop a line from the center the chest come straight down like that. 107 00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:31,220 You see it's moved over a little bit and it's kind of more evenly dispersed kind of because of the angle 108 00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:32,790 we're looking at the legs as well. 109 00:08:32,810 --> 00:08:36,180 It doesn't look as even but it is a little bit more even. 110 00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:39,560 So your balance is something that you really want to be conscious about. 111 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:43,670 So it's not that you're drawing is always how do we balance in fact sometimes it might be boring if 112 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:47,480 they're all balance some of your character poses you want them to be running or jumping and so they're 113 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,710 basically falling so you want that balance to be off. 114 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Now when we talk about gestures in a future lecture we'll learn more about action poses. 115 00:08:55,910 --> 00:09:00,030 But for now I just want you to understand what makes a pose balanced. 116 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,850 And I want you to be aware of that. 117 00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:05,750 So when you're drawing you wanna make sure that it looks balanced so it doesn't look like your character 118 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:07,680 is about to fall over. 119 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:08,340 All right. 120 00:09:08,390 --> 00:09:11,300 Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next lecture. 11910
