All language subtitles for 075 Gesture Drawing Session Assignment.en

All right.

Now it's time to do a gesture drawing assignment.

So this one is actually pretty fun I think and it's a really good way to get good and fast at drawing

gestures because if you remember we want to be able to have the ability to draw quickly not just for

the sake of being able to pop drawings out very fast but also just because it makes your drawings look

better the quicker you can draw.

So if you draw a line of action if you draw one smooth motion really quick rather than kind of doing

something like this it's going to look a lot better in the end.

So if all your lines can just be quicker and just one fluid motion it's going to look way better.

So we want to get good at doing this and the way we do that is by drawing lots of gestures.

And we draw them very fast and luckily online there's lots of resources.

So right here you can see that I have pulled up a Web site.

It's called reference dot sketch daily dot net.

And this is an excellent Web site for finding Poe's reference and it might not be the best reference

for your character designs and stuff but it's a good way to get good at drawing the human form.

So in this case we're going to be using this Web site as a way to draw a bunch of gestures so you can

see here that if you go to the Web site what we have is we have different things you can choose from

we can choose a full body the body part animal structure and vegetation.

So there's a couple different things for this we just want to do the full body and for gender we're

just going to do all genders but you can see if you wanted to pick between the male the female you can

change that for clothing you can choose clothes or nude.

In this case we're going to choose clothes because I know there's probably some people in the course

that don't really necessarily want to see nude photographs and that's all right.

And we can just we can get just as good of reference from clothed models anyways.

But if you want you can go ahead and choose nude or both for the pose you can choose different poses

action area so they would be somebody that's kind of imbalanced or moving and then stationary would

be somebody that's kind of balanced and just standing there and then for the views you can choose all

these different views and we'll just keep that all as well.

And then down here you see that you have these different time options so you can do 30 seconds one minute

two minutes and that's going to basically be how long the reference image is on your screen for now.

This is why I like this Web site the best is because it has this option there's there's a few other

out there I think that you have time options but you really want to find a Web site where they'll time

your reference photo so that way you can set it to 30 seconds for example and we'll draw 30 seconds

worth of one gesture.

We have to get that gesture drawn in there in 30 seconds.

So it forces you to be very quick and fast and then you can move your time up as you go if you want

and try to do a little bit more detail gesture drawing.

So we're gonna do some examples of all of these.

So for this first one let's go ahead and let's stick with 30 seconds.

I almost wish that there was one that was even shorter like 10 seconds so we could be drawing these

gestures even quicker.

So maybe at the beginning we'll just kind of do that.

So set so 30 seconds and then let's go ahead and hit start so I can see here we have this person right

there.

So if I switch over here to my canvas and you can be doing this on paper and pencil maybe we could start

off by giving us even less height so you can see right here we're at about 17 seconds so I'll wait till

that hits 10 seconds and once it hits 10 seconds then we'll go ahead and start drawing.

We're just gonna draw super fast.

So in ten seconds just kind of get that head down and then get that line emotion down this and it's

already gone.

You see.

All right.

So for this one let's go ahead and begin.

So just like that

get that one emotion in there

and you can see we're already down to nine seconds so we've got to be quick with these.

All right great.

So we'll just go ahead and keep moving on through our canvas.

All right.

So here's a pretty static pose

right.

There's another one down.

Let's go and move on to the next one.

So just do this last example

and at the very beginning I was a little rusty.

You can see that I'm getting a little bit better.

The same thing's probably going to happen for you.

All right.

So there's our 30 second ones.

Let's go ahead and let's go back and let's reset the time.

So these are 30 second ones.

See this first one is actually 10 seconds but you can see that in 10 seconds you can really try to quickly

get that line of action the head the body maybe the legs and you can just kind of really understand

that gesture in a really short amount of time so that's what the 10 second one is about the 30 second

one is about being able to kind of put that gesture and movement on paper.

And again the proportions all that stuff doesn't really matter so much what is trying to get that movement.

And once we get to the 30 second ones we're just looking for that movement possibly trying to make sure

that the balance of our character looks correct.

But yeah so let's go ahead and let's move on some to go ahead and add a new layer and action you could

fill that with white so they cover up that last drawing.

All right great.

So now we can go ahead and begin on the next one.

So for the next round we're going to give ourselves two minutes.

So go ahead and come here.

Change this to two minutes.

Now we can go ahead and begin.

And it's up to you whether you want to draw they're close or not.

If they're wearing something like a dress I suggest that you draw their close

if they're wearing something that's a little bit tighter and you can kind of see and imagine what their

body looks like then go ahead and just draw their body without their clothes.

And if you choose so you can also draw their hair as well.

We're just looking for the direction the gesture of each line and shape.

It's also good to everyone around check back at your time over here in the top right sign just to make

sure that you're kind of pacing yourself.

All right.

Now we're on to the next one.

I think I actually forgot to change it so there's no nude ones in here so let me go and change that.

Luckily that wasn't a fully nude one.

All right so I'll change this to clothes will change that.

Two minutes we already drew one of her so let's go and skip to the next one.

All right there we go.

Let's go to this one

can start with that one line of action

see something kind of like the other leagues kind of like this

Ah there we go so there is a pretty good gesture.

All right.

So those are our two minute ones so they're a little bit more detail a little bit more accurate.

We can have the balance in there we even did some stuff for the hair and so we're just trying to find

a gesture of every single part of a reference.

All right then lastly what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead.

Let's go back.

Let's change clothing to clothes and then we'll do all poses.

And this time we're going to give ourselves five minutes.

Now we have a little bit over double the time we had before that we can go ahead and start.

Go ahead and move my canvas over so I have more room to draw.

All right.

So this guy let's go ahead

so let's start with that line of action.

So I think we kind of get a line to action coming down through his body like this and out his leg

and we get another line of action coming from this leg

like that

and there's a slight curve to his arms like this.

Great.

So once we have that kind of stick figure drawn out then we can go ahead and start detailing this.

So the five minute ones we want to make just a little bit more detail so we can start by sketching his

rib cage in there

then we can go ahead.

Let's see a sketch that neck in there so just making sure that everything looks pretty dynamic.

We want to capture the emotion of those gestures.

Remember that.

That's what all this is about.

So even if it doesn't look perfect just worry about paying attention to what the direction is of each

part of the body.

It's very much about almost exaggerate it's like that right there you just kind of exaggerated that

line on the bottom of his thigh

legs are a little bit too big.

So when to go and adjust it when you have this much time it's good time to kind of focus on some of

the details a little bit more so you can

gets proportions kind of looking correct.

All right.

There we go.

So it's kind of looking at these you can see that this one's just like a tiny bit more accurate add

more time to really think about it.

So the quicker ones are all about learning how to identify the gesture and the motion of a pose very

fast and quickly and identify that line of action.

And then when we get into the ones that are more like two minutes long that's kind of about identifying

the gesture of the shapes the form stuff like that.

And when we get to the five minute one it's kind of about identifying the gesture of the shapes of forms

but also the same time kind of focusing on getting those proportions relatively correct.

And so the more time you give yourself the more accurate your drawing should look as far as like the

anatomy and the the proportions go.

But for the ones that are 10 seconds and 30 seconds those ones should just be very very fast and quick.

All right.

So what you're saying is going to be is to do these on your own.

So what I want you to do is I'm going to want you to go ahead and go to this Web site reference dot

sketch Daily Dot Net and you're just going to go ahead and you're going to set it up a few times so

the first time you're going to do it for 30 seconds if you want you can do the 10 second ones you'll

just have to time yourself but you're just going to do 10 of the 30 second ones so you'll set it up

so you have 10 poses body poses for 30 seconds and you're gonna sketch out their gestures as fast as

you can before the 30 seconds are up so that you'll get fast drawing them and identifying them then

you're gonna go ahead and reset it to two minutes.

Go ahead and do that then you're gonna go ahead and reset it to five minutes and then draw those bodies.

So you gonna do ten of each one.

So ten of the 30 seconds ten of the two minutes and actually let's just do five of the five minute ones

because those are going to take a little while.

Once you've done those I'd like it if you'd go ahead and take a picture of those and post them to the

Q and A section of the course or maybe just a few of them that you like so that we can kind of see the

work and the progress that you're making.

I love seeing what you guys are up to.

So yeah that brings us to the end of this lecture so I will see you in the next one.
