All language subtitles for 1. Exercises

Hey, everyone, so in this video, I'm going to be showing you how to do some dry exercises and of

course, I zoomed in way too much in this, so I'm going to zoom out quick.

OK, so here's some dry exercise that you guys can do in your free time or your sketchbooks.

These are really, really helpful for understanding form and your and, you know, improving your line

quality.

And this is just kind of like an update on the original line drawings I would usually have you do in

my previous courses.

But since I took some Western classes and he gives out some really, really nice exercises, I just

want to share them with you.

So one of the exercises is really, really nice.

So this one is the first one.

Let me just put another one here is simply draw two lines.

To be diagnosed, to be straight, I'll just put it straight for now, the best I can do for now, I

need a warm up first.

These are also really good for nice warm ups so that you guys can.

Just kind of have around all the time, you know, these can really this can really smooth in your line

line quality, especially when you're doing traditional USUN digital.

You can kind of like cheat your way out by doing some smoothing.

But if you do this all the time, these exercises all the time, it becomes a lot easier to really control

your line quality.

So anyways, let's get started.

I'm going to put a I'm going to put some lines over this.

So think of this as a cylinder.

Once you think of this as a cylinder, then what you can do is you can draw lines that rotate around

and wrap around.

So what I'm going to have to do is go straight.

Straight.

Curve wrap around, so make sure that it wraps around the form and of course, this takes time to master,

so don't worry about it if it doesn't look good.

So once again, straight, straight curve.

Sure.

It's nice and round, straight, straight curve.

You came back a little bit more extreme if you want that straight, straight to even go like this curve.

Straight, straight curve, and what you can do afterwards is you can actually just end these with a

little small elipse.

Let's do another one, straight, straight curve, straight curve, kind of finish these off here curve

curve so we can a lot easier, then we can also do another one of these is kind of just, you know,

makes straight arrow straight lines as well.

Once again, straight straight curve curve, kind of keep them close together, curve, curve, curve

and then go on the other side.

Straight.

Straight curve.

Curve.

Curve.

And once you get the hang of it starts becoming a lot easier.

So notice I'm always kind of curving this around the cylinder.

That's another kind and another one of this variation is doing some curved lines, so let's say, for

instance, this is like a waist that's kind of bending over.

What you can do is you can kind of just do the same thing, just wrap around these lines and can do

them, you know, however you want.

You can even go a little bit more extreme.

You can go thin, that thick.

You know, all this this is all just a kind of practice.

Your Formosan overlapping.

So what is another one that is really good?

Well, let's see, two Category two or sphere's.

So what you want what you want to do is just draw a really quick circle, you know, just you don't

have to do it perfectly then straight, straight up around, straight, straight wrap around, straight

straight wrap around.

And of course but there's no there's not really much straights in the circles but you kind of get what

you kind of get what I mean.

Right.

These are just to kind of help you practice wrapping around forms, especially when you're drawing bodies

so you can do as much of these as you want.

Let's see, then we have number three, which is the line quality types, I'm going to move this over

just a little bit or maybe I'll just go ahead and put this at the bottom here.

These are line types.

So one of these you can do is you can draw a straight line, you know, just do your best.

But to end points and I would actually make this a bit bigger.

I'm just going to go small because I only have a small window at one point here, then connect do the

best you can.

Obviously, this is imperfect.

You know, you can go more extreme.

You can go all the way over here.

And go at the bottom as well.

Wrap and this is just to kind of help you aim your lines well, so that's one line type of exercise.

And then the last one that I want you guys to practice is a very simple one, you go ahead and find

some room on where I could do this.

Hmm, go ahead and move my camera just a little bit this way.

Yeah, that's perfect.

And the last one that I want you guys to do, number four.

Is drawing a straight line down, same thing, just kind of backwards.

So here, let's say you have a midpoint down here, then you just like that can even go another one,

go as extreme as you want.

You can even go all the way down.

Could be here, here, just kind of practice these little exercises.

Basically, these are the main types of exercises that I want you guys to do that will really, really

benefit your line work in the long run.

So let me just go ahead and just scroll across.

Pretty simple, right?

Yeah, that's pretty much it for this video.

Let me know what you guys think.

This will really help you guys in the long run for these drawing, for drawing figures and everything.

So anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this and I'll see you guys in Nexon by.
