What is Martin going to go ahead and you upload a lot of stuff which is cool.
And but I just want to give you a few little pointers here and there.
So
I start out with when I go in I guess my famous blue map that it's famous.
I don't know why I just did that let's try this again.
Hold on I'm sorry.
Let me go in and change the brushes.
OK.
Let's take a look at what you got going on here.
So the first thing I this is this is a really good this is a good start.
I see you're having a little bit of issues with drawing
with drawing the three quarter view.
And here and here is what I want to save for for anybody having trouble with three quarters you just
make it a box for right now.
Make it a box and make sure that it is thinner thinner on the side than on the front because it still
works.
You can still this is still your chest right here that's still your shoulders.
So why don't you try to maybe use this as a as much more of a box shape.
Because I think that might help you out a lot that are much and I don't mean a boxy but I mean like
a rectangle shape and I know is just a tiny little bit of perspective right there.
I'm not.
You don't have to really worry about that.
So if you're three quarter view if you can just practice on drawing a box in different perspectives
like something like this would probably be a one point perspective to where it's just vanishing back
here.
If the character is leaning forward then if you just did this form like this
it just go from there.
So that's pretty good.
That would be a pretty good indication of what's going on.
So practice your boxes more so than than that.
And I'm going to pause to see if I can.
Hold on one second.
Let's get rid of that.
I guess I'm saving some of these for you.
So
zoom in here a little bit.
So we go ahead and rotate the image.
Sorry for him I'm just kind of thinking out loud.
I do apologize.
So image rotation clockwise.
So let's take a look at what you got going on here.
So right here I want you to start paying attention to your ratios of your head.
So if you think about it this way this is one in order of I guess how big they would be.
Two and Three and I know I taught you the female hips are a little bit wider.
It's all going to depend on what you look at.
And it all depends on your style of everything.
So if we just start doing this and I think I may just reteach this all together and there's and there's
this this might help you out a little bit more.
So if you're going to do our boxes I don't want this I don't want my head to ever be almost as wide
as my tour or as my my chest and you got some variety here but now you've got this character over here
that is.
So here's the spine.
But now they're kind of turnt that way.
It's a little bit unnatural.
I would actually have them looking this way.
And if you're trying to show them turning then I would probably just start out with the head turning
this way.
And right over here your head is just a little bit too big.
And so you're not giving yourself enough room down here.
And so that's that's going to be one of the things that I want you to pay attention to and don't worry
this angle right here trying to get this right don't worry about that because that's it's pretty advanced
because what's going on is a lot of times when a character is looking up.
I just use this little cheat to be honest with you.
I just draw the bottom of the face normally and I just draw everything else looking up but rarely are
you going to be drawing this an extreme angle like this.
So I don't really want you to worry about this angle right away because what you're doing is you're
drawing this kind of pointy drawing kind of there's this almost shovel looking thing which I understand
what you're going for.
But the main thing I want you to worry about is look at your head size right here is just it's this
big.
And then your chest is this big.
And then you have these really really wide hips here.
So I want you to really pay attention to your head ratio.
So you know one two or yeah I guess it would be three because would be larger and then you can go ahead
and put.
I don't know you could do whatever you need to do to get to a block in the torso.
And by the way take a look at some other anatomy books.
Take a look at some of the book that I really enjoy.
Is Michael Hampton's figure drawing book pick.
Pick up a copy of that.
That's an awesome awesome book to have on your desk or to have in your your repertoire is it.
We're going to pause and save this
so right here.
I do like the fact that you got a little bit of writing going on here and this is cool.
The only thing that I've noticed about this is that you definitely want to make sure that when we get
in our upper arm shoulder area
so I got my arm shoulder area in here right.
Then we got our lower arm.
So I want to make sure that these upper arm in my lower arm are about the same.
They're about the same size kind of as a rule of thumb there.
So that's one of the things that I just want you to I'm probably not going to save this one but when
you're working on your cylinders that's cool.
But I want you to keep it consistent Don't worry too much about this.
This kind of an oblong shape because this is this is a little bit more of a superhero kind of silhouette
which I'm not really worried about just kind of keep it basic.
I think there are some things that I definitely want to change around of course probably over the summer
maybe maybe.
So I just want you to just really worry about just keeping these cylinders more cylindrical.
And I just want to keep them the same size.
That's kind of what I would I like to do is just keep everything in the same size.
And I'm just kind of drawing the cylinders.
You see it's kind of the same size with the form and everything.
So that's one of things that I just want you to concentrate on.
Sorry I don't know why I'm trying to draw hand in here.
So I hope that makes sense to you.
I'm going to say that she got a lot of stuff that you uploaded with your head.
These aren't bad at all it's not a bad start.
But when you're Let's just look at something basic like this.
So we've got what could help you and this is something that I just got through.
I just learned not too long ago I looked at Jim Lee who is a comic book artist if you did not know he
kind of looks at the head as a cylinder.
So if you take a cylinder and maybe you divide that in half that might help you out a little bit more.
And I just want to go for props to Jim Lee on that.
Now I've gotten like a metal or anything like that but I just saw a video that he did where he was able
to do that and then from there you can go ahead and make the head into an actual actual head.
So why don't you try with cylinders and I think this might be I don't know if I even put this lesson
up there.
I know I thought about it but the cylinder head
so try that.
So a cylinder on top of another cylinder.
So that would be the head and that would be the neck right there.
I'm just going to put that in there.
Maybe help you see the form a little bit better.
I realize it's not a perfect cylinder but I think hopefully you get the gist of what I'm trying to go
for.
So definitely you want to pay attention to your forms a little bit more.
So we're going to look at the cylinder from there and what you what you really want to do is what I'm
trying to teach you that I'm really trying to put in
so I'm trying to put in this particular form I'm trying to get you to see that this is a form
just like you would do an actual egg or an oval or whatever just like you would you would look at it
that you always see that exercise of people just doing a ball.
That's really what this is.
So it's a ball.
And I know.
If you're taking the ball and we see we are now drawing a ball and you're attaching this kind of half
cylinder piece to.
So you're kind of making this a little attachment so you're making this attachment right here to it.
I need to be way better.
I need to make that a little bit more clear.
All right.
So you're kind of attaching this to the ball.
And this is kind of going into this which we should be if we make this again
I'm trying to put these two together.
And I can even lengthen out this and it doesn't have to be this extreme.
It's always a good idea for you to
it's always a good idea to grab some reference.
I mean the the point of one of the biggest things of my course is that I want you I want all of you
that you are looking at theirs I want you to be able to construct a figure without reference but you
some reference when it comes down to getting like facial features and stuff like that.
Definitely use reference.
You know I've I've without a doubt evolved on that because I think I heard just from a personal standpoint
I practice so hard with just being able to put down a figure without anything else that I just was like
I wanted to teach people this thing that I was able to do.
But I also think that there is there is a place for reference so you can see all of this right here.
It's big elaborate thing that looks like it's not because it's still jast that's my cylinder right there
that's my sphere and this right here is my cylinder and if it helps you see it a little bit more clear
then I will go ahead and put that right there.
So hopefully that helps you out and I will save this OK.
So I'm just going to look at these these skulls right here.
What I want to see you do with the skulls because I know there's another page of them somewhere.
And so I don't have to go over the rest of these because I would just kind of be repeating myself.
But let's look at this right here.
I don't know what this is like.
I really.
I'm assuming this might be your.
I don't know what this is.
This is maybe is it might be like the pelvic area or the pelvis.
I want you to think about the pelvis like just think of the pelvis as the ball.
Just think of it as a ball right now.
The provers as a ball
just a ball.
It's all I want you to think about right now.
Just get that shape if that does not help you then definitely think of the pelvis as a nother rectangular
shape.
And again it's OK to look at some anatomy books and see how some other people teach it because that
might click for you a little bit better when it comes to the pelvis.
I don't quite get so dark on top there but make sure it's just kind of a thin
pelvis and it's kind of sitting at the angle and normally don't teach it this way because it's supposed
to be sitting at an angle and sometimes it's a little bit harder for people to see especially when you're
putting the legs on at this angle.
Right.
So I just want you to think of the pelvic pelvic the pelvic the pelvis if that's what this is.
And I do apologize.
I'm I'm not I'm by no means trying to make funny.
I just can't tell.
I really can't tell what this is.
I think maybe you're trying to draw it in a three quarter view.
Just stick with the bowl shape.
So I want you to do a few that are show me that it's a bowl shape and then if you want to evolve over
a bowl shape like say you've got a bowl right here and then you want to go ahead and put in the lines
for the underwear draw center line and that might help you out a little bit more.
And so maybe that's what you were trying to go for.
So I'm probably going to save that when I just draw a ball and because it might be a lot easier for
you.
But I did save a few of these for you.
Now for the skeleton I don't quite know.
Let's work on your mannequin first before you start because.
So here's my thing with bones is that you don't you rarely draw bones.
I'm not really worried about you drawing a skull accurate but I want you to look at some reference of
a skull.
But before you do that I want you to actually get the just get the shape of a head.
So it's going to be much more of an egg shape somewhere around in there.
And this is all I want to see you do.
I'm not worried about you draw the skull because if you can get this egg shape if you can get the skull
shape where you've got to start from right here with the cylinder if you're going to do it with like
more of a rectangular box because see it still works.
Right.
And if you want to draw skull from there then draw skull from there.
Look at some reference.
Don't worry bone or the little straight Asians in the details and stuff like that.
That's not what I'm worried about.
You just want a block in the eyes the nose and then you want to block in where the mouth is.
Let's just do a simplified skeleton instead of trying to draw skull.
And I think that's one of the things that might be changing around him in the course a little bit.
So hopefully that helps you out.
So that's just what I want you to do.
And
what else do we get here.
So with your arms I just want to show you that this pretty much the same stuff.
And you also did this of hands is a good start for hands like these.
I like what you're doing with the hands this looks.
This is a good start.
Keep it up.
Get grab some reference please grab some reference you're going to hear me say that more often now than
not so please grab some reference.
This has been going on for 18 minutes.
I'm going to stop talking.
Hopefully that helped you out.
And I'm going to post the.
By the time if when you see the work it takes a second for me to process the video it takes.
Give me about give me a few hours from whenever you see this 24 hours let's say because I got him I
got to I got to process the video so hopefully that was helpful.
All right.
I will talk to all of you.
Next time I guess.
