1
00:00:01,470 --> 00:00:05,260
Now that we've learned these kind of core forms.
2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,640
Let's do a demo where we're going to draw the front and back of a male form, and the front and back of
3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,210
a female, the entire body, all in one go, just using the big major forms.
4
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:17,960
We're going to put in crazy hand details, or anything like that.
5
00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:21,920
We're just going to get the basic feeling using those forms.
6
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:27,780
So I'm going to start off here with the guy, and just draw in the basic head form.
7
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:29,640
Nothing too crazy, nothing too hectic.
8
00:00:35,490 --> 00:00:42,090
Draw in his chest, kind of imagining the proportions as well, so that we can make sure he's relatively
9
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:43,550
proportionately correct.
10
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:51,870
So I kind of draw the heads over sometimes to measure, and our bucket shape, sort of cup shape, should I say,
11
00:00:51,870 --> 00:01:01,340
teacup shape for the legs, draw in the cylinders for his arms.
12
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:08,000
You can see I am very loose with how I draw these, just checking that that elbow touches the bottom of the rib cage
13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,110
a good measuring system for the portions there, put that one in.
14
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:20,310
And also remembering that we really don't need to draw in little circle joints.
15
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:26,550
If you really want to, you can, but you really don't need to, and when you have a more developed anatomical knowledge
16
00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:31,590
you really just draw the anatomy on top of these forms, you don't really need this indication of joint
17
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,080
to know that the joint is there.
18
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:44,190
So just to make them a little bit smaller we can fill his full body on, going to draw in his legs and something
19
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:50,580
I can say as well that will be quite helpful for you is, while you're drawing try to keep the proportions
20
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:51,720
right while you're drawing.
21
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,590
But if you mess up, don't worry about it, just erase it or just use an adjustment on it and get it to
22
00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:04,740
the proportions that feel right to you or at least that or the proportions that you want, or based on
23
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,280
the idealistic proportions, which will make sure things look right.
24
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:10,410
OK.
25
00:02:11,009 --> 00:02:16,310
So here I can check and just wanted to press hard, do it one stroke; one, two, three, four.
26
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,970
We're relatively right there.
27
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:24,310
One, two, three, and four, and we're relatively right there, and his proportions are OK.
28
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,330
Proportions are OK.
29
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:32,160
His shoulder width, just checking that, and just roughing it in a little bit more, drawing through to feel
30
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,450
those forms.
31
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,970
And speaking of drawing through, you might find that after a while you get very used to the idea of the
32
00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:44,450
forms, that you may not draw through everything, you'll kind of do it more in a short hand sense, and really
33
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:50,490
just have center lines down things to help you kind of figure out and understand where the middle of objects
34
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:53,170
are, and where the middle of the forms are.
35
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:58,710
Just connect his neck more there, with that sphere and we'll draw through there, where it connects to the base
36
00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:02,250
of his head.
37
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:02,930
All right.
38
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:08,310
And for the hands, for the time being, we're just going to put circles there just to indicate them and then
39
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:18,800
going to draw a back view of this same character, just imagining those forms and perhaps his neck is
40
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,900
plugging in over here, using the cylinder for that,
41
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,860
kind of tilting his chest a little bit, imagining the back of his torso.
42
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:41,970
And because the front view is right here, the back view,
43
00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:48,530
it's going to be easy for me to really just, kind of, copy across most of the measurements, so that my
44
00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:51,070
proportions are roughly the same.
45
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:55,370
You can see I'm very loose and it really is just structural.
46
00:03:55,430 --> 00:04:00,860
Very very structural drawings, get the structure to read relatively fine.
47
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:04,950
This doesn't have to look nice or neat or pretty or anything like that
48
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:11,810
when you're doing these forms. And you can as well see the opposing curves constantly at work in the
49
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:18,560
form, getting a very believable looking human form quite easily.
50
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,690
Not much effort, just bending those forms,
51
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:26,390
and keeping them nice and dynamic.
52
00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:33,300
And usually one side of the cylinder is bigger than the other.
53
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,680
And in terms of the elliptical sections, so it gives us that directionality in the forms.
54
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,510
And using our understanding of opposing curves, to just oppose, just make the legs oppose one another.
55
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:57,700
Cylinders and we'll then draw the back of these triangles, in this instance, it's triangular form, so they're
56
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:00,710
shorter at the back longer at the front.
57
00:05:00,940 --> 00:05:07,130
And there we have just a very basic, very rough, form sketch of the male.
58
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,260
Let's do a female version.
59
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:13,250
And just before we leave the male version, let's label this as male.
60
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:19,180
Just before we leave the male version, let's not forget that kind of, key rule, of having broad shoulders, and
61
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:26,560
narrower hips on the male, right, broad shoulders and narrower hips on males, and then we want to have shorter
62
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,410
shoulders and wider hips on females, right, wider at the hips.
63
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:41,210
Let's now do just the rough version of the forms of the female and we'll start very much the same
64
00:05:41,210 --> 00:05:41,750
way.
65
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:48,680
Start with the male forms, get a cranium shape in there, attach our jaws shape to that, keep it rough, keep
66
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,880
it loose.
67
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,030
Going to put the chest in here before the neck.
68
00:05:53,030 --> 00:06:01,520
And we want to remember, really, that we want to keep the shoulders narrower on the female, and the hips
69
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,490
broader.
70
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:11,400
Just as a general rule for getting that very feminine look in, and our cup shape for the pelvis, having
71
00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:19,110
center lines down things to help us understand center, can draw through as well to help us just feel out
72
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:31,430
that mass and then give her broader hips here, and we get her hips to come out more broadly than the
73
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:33,740
males.
74
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:43,670
And really it's just these very simple forms , with dynamism applied to them, that lets us it gets to that
75
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:49,510
level of believability when we start adding the details onto the forms.
76
00:06:52,090 --> 00:07:00,300
And you're just drawing in those basic, basic building blocks for the feet.
77
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:08,340
Just imagining the forms, drawing through the forms, imagining and feeling them out, like "What is the full
78
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:11,880
3D form of this particular object".
79
00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:14,370
And we can add in the arms,
80
00:07:18,850 --> 00:07:29,200
and just keep the hands very simple as well, and feel free to really experiment as well,
81
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,880
in terms of how the curves are happening on these dynamic cylinders. You can really just, it doesn't always
82
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,180
have to oppose in this particular way, you can change the direction of the opposing.
83
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:52,570
Let's just find that little crick in her neck where we can feel out the form of the breasts, and apply our form
84
00:07:52,630 --> 00:07:54,540
theory there.
85
00:07:55,700 --> 00:08:04,360
It's kind of soft malleable masses that flatten at the bottom, kind of using it, kind of just lightly
86
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,050
using that Heart-Shaped idea to get them to read well.
87
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:16,630
And I'm checking the proportions of the nipple line there, and I think that's OK for the forms there.
88
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:18,970
And then we can do the back view.
89
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:32,299
And really, it's the same structures here we will see the neck more because of the angle,
90
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,180
and just drawing those forms, and using a very rough, just a shorthand way, to get these forms down.
91
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:50,660
But it's exactly the same thing really, all the same theory.
92
00:08:51,870 --> 00:08:56,700
The pelvis and plugging in the arms.
93
00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:04,030
You can see I also do this very quickly and really, speed comes with time to practice, but I would always
94
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:10,590
I would always, always encourage you, to just try and draw fast as much as you can, and especially with
95
00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:11,270
construction.
96
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:13,290
There's no need to draw slowly.
97
00:09:13,290 --> 00:09:15,810
Your hand is really just making marks.
98
00:09:15,810 --> 00:09:19,950
I mean there's not much to putting the pen down and swirling it around a little bit.
99
00:09:19,950 --> 00:09:24,180
So just in terms of construction, let the theory guide you.
100
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,550
And just be quick, be quick about it.
101
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:33,750
And build, build build the construction that you need and be messy and be loose because you know construction
102
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:41,570
sites are messy, and people building great things, it's usually a messy process, it's not usually this pristinely
103
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:44,070
perfect, Step-By-Step, wonderful thing.
104
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:49,840
It's, you know, construction sites are messy. Making a cake is messy, and doing art is messy right.
105
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:55,270
Cooking good meals is generally quite messy, you don't do it in a neat way.
106
00:09:55,350 --> 00:10:01,410
Let me just putt in these basic shapes there, maybe not exactly the same angles, but relatively the same,
107
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:05,180
her shoulders here a little bit broad, so I'm going to bring that form in.
108
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,530
Just make the shoulders a little less broad.
109
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:15,570
Keep the hips kind of wide and the proportions are a little bit different.
110
00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:18,260
The scaling of the head is just a little bit different.
111
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:22,990
So it's not the end of the world, it's relatively the same, it's relatively OK.
112
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:24,650
All right.
113
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:31,480
And this will be our basic, very basic female forms, and we're stacking and building them together.
114
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,770
Let's go back to the male form now.
115
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:39,610
And let's actually just put those labels in there as well.
116
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:44,910
You want the front and the back. Go back to our male form.
117
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:54,730
And what I'm going to do is, I'm just going to take my eraser and just lightly erase the base forms here, so
118
00:10:54,730 --> 00:11:02,070
that I can draw over it. Just do quick, kind of, skin surface layer over it, and just kind of use the forms
119
00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:05,160
underneath to guide, add an ear there,
120
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:15,070
just for a little bit more appeal, Using the underlying forms to kind of guide where I put these lines,
121
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:25,180
And I'm not doing majorly complex anatomy here, I'm just really being guided by those forms, just doing
122
00:11:25,180 --> 00:11:28,860
single lines, not too sketchy.
123
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:39,740
Kind of let the skin go in a little bit here at the chest, just put in some lines there.
124
00:11:40,430 --> 00:11:46,390
I know that there is a bump for the knees, so I'm going to add that in, draw in the crotch section here.
125
00:11:46,430 --> 00:11:48,270
Keep it simple.
126
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:51,060
Just being guided by the forms.
127
00:11:53,890 --> 00:11:56,050
I don't even connect every line necessarily,
128
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,960
and using my knowledge of how the opposing curves work at the feet,
129
00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:12,900
just to guide me in doing the skin surface layer here,
130
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:16,330
and the hands
131
00:12:16,330 --> 00:12:23,520
we won't worry about too much, just kind of indicate them a little bit, and we'll do this back view, the
132
00:12:27,210 --> 00:12:29,640
face kind of comes out the front.
133
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:30,540
Something like that
134
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:41,710
And just really, in many ways, just kind of tracing what we see.
135
00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:51,150
And even with a very elementary knowledge of anatomy, you can get a pretty effective looking skin surface
136
00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:51,630
layer.
137
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:57,730
Just by following the forms, right.
138
00:12:58,450 --> 00:13:04,530
Just get these elementary, kind of, hand indications in. And I just want to take this line a bit in.
139
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:11,520
I just feel like it's a little bit too overlapping that line of the arm, draw this in,
140
00:13:15,870 --> 00:13:24,370
following the forms, following the forms, and connecting all the surface layers to each other. I don't suppose we
141
00:13:24,370 --> 00:13:26,510
see much of the knee from that angle,
142
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:36,490
and then following the forms there.
143
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:40,200
Back of the foot here as well.
144
00:13:40,330 --> 00:13:47,430
And I know that perhaps this may seem somewhat overly basic, but these are the basics we need to grasp
145
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:55,090
very firmly, before we start getting into complex and very detailed elements.
146
00:13:55,150 --> 00:14:00,880
I assume the buttocks are going to fall something like that on his form, we'll just keep it very simple for now and just use
147
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,500
kind of a "V", shape upside down, kind of, "V" shape for that, and indicate those elements.
148
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:10,290
And let's just do the top of his head as well.
149
00:14:10,390 --> 00:14:15,480
Right, very very basic, keeping things simple. Let's go on to the female.
150
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:23,620
Once again I'll erase her as well, just to, so that my skin lines kind of show, show more, and stand out
151
00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:23,820
more.
152
00:14:26,940 --> 00:14:29,770
And once again it's really, it's really very much the same thing.
153
00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:38,640
Kind of going to go over those basic forms that we put in, and connect all the elements together.
154
00:14:40,350 --> 00:14:51,350
Just being guided in a very rough way by our forms.
155
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:57,010
So while I'm doing this we can talk a little bit about advanced anatomical study.
156
00:14:57,270 --> 00:15:08,440
At the end of the course, at the end of module three mind you, there is a video discussing how to study
157
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,870
anatomy in a more advanced way.
158
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,220
So that of course I'd definitely recommend that you watch that. Anatomy is something that is going to take
159
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:20,920
a long time to learn, but it shouldn't be something that stops you from continuing through the course,
160
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:29,830
because when you have the basic anatomy, you can start drawing great characters and always constantly learning
161
00:15:29,830 --> 00:15:36,040
anatomy will help you improve the realism of the anatomical forms themselves.
162
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:44,350
But not all styles call for hyper realistic anatomy, which is great especially if you are into doing
163
00:15:44,350 --> 00:15:49,880
more stylized work. Whilst knowing advanced anatomy is definitely always an advantage.
164
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:55,690
A lot of the stylization, while built on the fundamental anatomy, doesn't really call for you to draw in every
165
00:15:55,690 --> 00:15:59,980
micro detail of every muscle.
166
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,910
So here we are doing the back view, drawing in those neck forms.
167
00:16:06,010 --> 00:16:13,690
And these look very clunky and basic, but that's really the point, that really is the point, we want to
168
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,680
just keep things simple, maybe I'll even indicate her breasts a little bit.
169
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,290
there. This breast size here, they're not exactly the same.
170
00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:25,350
Let me just fix the sizing up.
171
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:33,490
Draw a line, a planning line here, for the volumes, and then have them be at roughly the same,
172
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,520
roughly the same height as each other.
173
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,740
Just rough it in there.
174
00:16:53,630 --> 00:16:56,250
And carrying on with this,
175
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:15,440
following the forms, doing a very basic skin layer version, nothing too informed, really, by anatomy,
176
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,770
By advanced anatomy, just kind of keeping things simple, getting the feeling of doing this, right.
177
00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:32,490
Just following those forms, and this isn't about good looking work.
178
00:17:32,590 --> 00:17:34,910
And I've said that, probably said that already.
179
00:17:35,370 --> 00:17:42,090
But just get the hang of it, get the hang of this very basic thing, we can refine pieces and bring things
180
00:17:42,090 --> 00:17:45,000
up to a professional level at different stages.
181
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,760
For now we just want to get this kind of, idea, of like, let's build forms and then put stuff on top of the
182
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,380
forms.
183
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:57,570
These are very, very elementary drawings. Very, very elementary drawings. But these are the basics we need
184
00:17:57,570 --> 00:18:04,980
to go through. And I really have tried to make sure that you don't feel throughout the course that, you
185
00:18:04,980 --> 00:18:07,350
know, even the examples are unachievable.
186
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:12,690
I feel like you should be achieving something at this sort of level, at this sort of look, at this stage
187
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:13,680
in the course.
188
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,550
And so there we have in a nutshell, just using those forms that we've learned, and putting the skin layer
189
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:28,810
on top of them, and just getting something that looks solid, right, no crazy overlaps are being done yet.
190
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,490
No crazy detailing is being done, it's just basic, basic,
basics.
191
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,190
All right.
192
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:38,760
I hope that this demo was informative, and will help you when you're doing your exercises.
193
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Let's move on to the next lesson.
