00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,050
In this lecture we're gonna be talking about how to draw the neck and the shoulders but really go in-depth
2
00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:07,200
with it.
3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,990
So the first thing to understand is let's go over the neck so the neck attaches to the head and it's
4
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:14,310
basically a cylinder.
5
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:18,750
So if you don't have to draw a cylinder it's let's say that you're looking at it from kind of a side
6
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:21,170
view but a little bit of a top down view.
7
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:23,400
It's going to look something like this.
8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,340
You gonna draw an oval or an ellipse like that and then just have a line coming down two lines from
9
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:34,220
each side and then you're basically going to copy this right here you're gonna copy it down here so
10
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:38,190
I'll just draw it lightly just to kind of show you if you could see through it you would see the bottom
11
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:43,220
surface which would look like that but we're just gonna draw it lightly and then use it as a guide.
12
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:46,410
So then we can just kind of draw this curve here like that
13
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:54,810
right.
14
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:59,220
And so if you were to be drawing this and you didn't want to draw this a light outline down here all
15
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:03,670
you'd have to do is just kind of mimic this curve right here and you just mimic that right down there.
16
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:08,260
So that's a basic cylinder and you can see it from all kinds of different angles so let's try a different
17
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:08,470
angle.
18
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:12,820
Let's say that you're drawing somebody and you're kind of looking at a more of a top down do you.
19
00:01:12,820 --> 00:01:20,050
Well then the sphere you might see a little bit more of the top surface of that oval or that ellipse
20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,170
might not be as thin or as squash or it might look something more like that.
21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:34,010
Maybe this neck is sort of angled like that so that we can just copy that curve right there.
22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,440
We're going to copy right down here
23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,060
just like that.
24
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:47,320
So there's two simple spheres that's how you draw spheres but the neck is basically a sphere.
25
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,260
It's a it's a it's a long skinny sphere and it's not too long skinny so let's just go ahead and let's
26
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:54,950
draw an example.
27
00:01:54,970 --> 00:01:59,710
So if we're looking at the neck from the side or kind of a side view it's going to look like this.
28
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:04,420
So in a draw like this and it's going to be about
29
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:08,200
this long.
30
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,910
So I'd like to think of it kind of about one and a half the length of the width of the neck Mitt goes
31
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:17,570
down into the actual body.
32
00:02:17,590 --> 00:02:33,340
So it doesn't just stop at the top of the shoulders it goes down into the body.
33
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:33,780
All right.
34
00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:37,610
So there is a neck that's about how long it should look from the side.
35
00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:43,410
Now another thing you'll notice is that I drew this angled forward and that's because the neck is actually
36
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:44,210
angled forward.
37
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:47,370
So you're not going to ever draw a neck just straight up and down like this.
38
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:50,180
And if you do you're going to find that it looks kind of weird.
39
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:54,710
So you always want to make sure that you draw that neck angled forward just a little bit.
40
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,590
So this might be angled a little bit too much just depends on your character.
41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,820
We always want that neck angled forward.
42
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:03,150
So when you draw that cylinder make sure it's just tilted.
43
00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:08,130
The next thing I want you to understand is that the spine or the vertebrae in the neck is curved.
44
00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:11,650
So not only is this going to be angled forward it's going to be slightly curved.
45
00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:13,050
So it's gonna be curved back.
46
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,610
So if the front of the faces out here we're going to curve it in that direction.
47
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:19,770
So let's redraw the cylinder but let's add a curve to it.
48
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:25,200
So go ahead and just draw the top surface like that.
49
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:28,710
And then this sandwich is going to add a curve to it.
50
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:33,780
So rather than just using straight lines and maybe I'll actually make this angle just a little bit less
51
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:58,530
we'll just curve it just like that.
52
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:58,850
All right.
53
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,210
So remember that we want to angle it forward.
54
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:14,950
And also remember that the neck is curved.
55
00:04:14,950 --> 00:04:19,750
Another thing to take note of is that at the top of the neck where the head attaches generally this
56
00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:21,830
is gonna be taper just a tiny bit.
57
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:25,120
So that just means that it's gonna get smaller up towards the top.
58
00:04:25,150 --> 00:04:29,940
Now you don't always have to do this but sometimes you can tapered off towards the top.
59
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:35,690
So this might also be tapered.
60
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:36,030
All right.
61
00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:36,600
Great.
62
00:04:36,930 --> 00:04:40,460
So let's go ahead and let's draw a head attached to a neck.
63
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,550
So I'm gonna go ahead and just draw kind of a simple Loomis head.
64
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:51,060
We're gonna draw this from the back so we can get a different angle of the neck so I can just go ahead
65
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:53,810
and draw in the side of the head.
66
00:04:53,850 --> 00:04:57,780
Go ahead and add that side playing like this
67
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,740
kind of sketch it.
68
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:30,080
You're there.
69
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:31,460
All right.
70
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:32,680
Great.
71
00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:37,320
I could even shade in the side of the head just kind of give it a little bit more form and definition
72
00:05:40,450 --> 00:05:43,010
and we got the bottom of the jar right there.
73
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:43,280
All right.
74
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:49,000
So now we want to go ahead and attach the neck so the neck is gonna kind of attach just a little bit
75
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,480
below the bottom of that side plain.
76
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,980
They're kind of sketched out around shape like that around line.
77
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:00,750
And then we can just kind of have that coming right off.
78
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,220
So we want it to kind of curve back if you remember we want to add that curve in there.
79
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,450
Now we can go ahead and sketch in the bottom surface of that cylinder
80
00:06:20,570 --> 00:06:21,420
just like that.
81
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,830
And there you go attaching the neck is as simple as that but there's a little bit more to the neck there's
82
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:33,170
a little bit more definition and we have the collarbone that ties into the neck and the shoulder.
83
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:36,410
So let's go ahead and let's start learning how to draw back.
84
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,210
So I to go ahead and draw new head here
85
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:46,930
and this is going to be kind of a three quarters view of the Loomis head
86
00:06:56,570 --> 00:07:00,880
so we're going to roughly sketch this and I'm not going to spend a lot of time making sure that it's
87
00:07:00,890 --> 00:07:02,050
perfect or anything like that.
88
00:07:02,050 --> 00:07:03,590
We just want the idea of the Loomis head
89
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:14,460
because this is about drawing neck not necessarily the head.
90
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:14,730
All right.
91
00:07:14,730 --> 00:07:17,260
So we have that nice and roughly sketched in there.
92
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:22,080
So let's go ahead and let's sketch out the cylinder so coming right off kind of the back of the head
93
00:07:22,350 --> 00:07:31,680
like this I'm going to have just a slightly angled and curved neck coming off like that the other piece
94
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,210
coming off like this maybe could add a little bit more of the back of the head right there
95
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:42,480
then we'd go ahead and complete the cylinder like that.
96
00:07:43,770 --> 00:07:47,470
So there we go there is our cylinder neck coming off next.
97
00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:50,280
We want to do is at the bottom right here the bottom of our cylinder.
98
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,500
That's where the part of the collarbone that dips down like this going to draw that end.
99
00:07:56,670 --> 00:08:02,400
So it's going to be like that then I like to kind of mark out the color bones just kind of slightly
100
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,050
curved lines that angle upwards.
101
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:16,010
Just just the tiniest bit so not too much so give it a little bit of curve and angled upwards right.
102
00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:21,860
Next we can go ahead and we can draw the upper shoulder muscles and or the back muscles.
103
00:08:21,970 --> 00:08:29,990
So it's basically just going to come right off the neck like this and then curved down like that right
104
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,040
there just that smooth S curve coming off and will do the same thing for the other side.
105
00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:40,350
It's gonna get a little bit more squashed because we're seeing it on the other side of this three quarters
106
00:08:40,390 --> 00:08:42,900
view.
107
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:44,400
It's just something like that.
108
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:50,200
So now you can see that that's really starting to resemble something that looks accurately like a human's
109
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,930
neck and shoulders.
110
00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:58,000
Next we get some muscles and tendons that come down from the head down into this middle part of the
111
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,630
collarbone.
112
00:08:58,630 --> 00:09:03,850
So let's go ahead and sketch that and so I usually just like to do a line like this going down into
113
00:09:03,850 --> 00:09:06,000
that area and another one over here.
114
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,770
But I won't get too detailed with it.
115
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:11,740
Most of time your character designs are going to be pretty simplified so we're not going to get too
116
00:09:11,740 --> 00:09:16,420
much into anatomy but I like to mark those out just so I have an understanding that those muscles are
117
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:22,030
there and just for your understanding this Back Muscle kind of wraps around the neck here and kind of
118
00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:30,680
comes across like this I'll just kind of draw those lines in to kind of represent that just like that.
119
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,860
We also get the Adam's apple so if it's a female the Adam's apple is not going to be very prominent
120
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:38,120
but if it's a male we kind of get an Adam's apple right.
121
00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:43,230
There's just kind of draw a line like that to represent that.
122
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,790
All right great.
123
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:47,030
Go ahead and talking in this head a little bit more
124
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:15,210
all right.
125
00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:16,020
So there we go.
126
00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:17,830
So we start off with the cylinder.
127
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:22,860
Then we add the lines for the back muscles that run into the shoulders and the shoulders just kind of
128
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,050
curve around like that.
129
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:28,140
We'll get to the shoulders here in a second and then at the bottom of our cylinder is where we're going
130
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:29,570
to start right in the center.
131
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:34,470
So if we were to continue the center line down and go underneath the bottom of the jaw and then come
132
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:38,580
down right there through the center of the neck so then we want to put that right there in the center
133
00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:44,460
of the neck at the bottom and then from there that little dipped line we want to do two slightly curved
134
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,480
angled upward lines going across for the collar bones to represent where those are gonna be.
135
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:51,210
All right.
136
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,890
So what if we want to start adding shoulders and while shoulders are very simple we're just going to
137
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:01,410
think of the shoulders as sort of round movable type objects and these shoulders should actually be
138
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:09,770
a little bit wider so when go ahead and extend that out just a little bit more that so the shoulders
139
00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:12,820
we're just gonna place an oval about that size.
140
00:11:12,850 --> 00:11:16,260
So the collarbone touches right at the top of that Oval.
141
00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:20,840
Do the same thing on the other side sometimes you can think of them as circles oval circles either one
142
00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:26,630
but they're around sort of shape just like that.
143
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:26,800
All right.
144
00:11:26,810 --> 00:11:31,820
So let's talk a little bit more in-depth about the shoulders so let's go ahead and draw a straight on
145
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:34,390
view of a person with the Loomis head.
146
00:11:34,410 --> 00:11:41,720
So go ahead and just kind of sketch out circle the jaw.
147
00:11:41,790 --> 00:12:32,850
We'll make that a little bit bigger for you guys to see.
148
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:33,240
All right.
149
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:33,570
Great.
150
00:12:33,570 --> 00:12:37,040
So once you have your Loomis had finished then we can go ahead and start drawing Nick.
151
00:12:37,050 --> 00:12:41,010
So just like when we drew the Loomis head before we're just gonna start by drawing in the lines now
152
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:46,560
we're not going to see a curved or an angle back line with this just because reviewing it from the front
153
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:53,550
view so we can just kind of draw a line that just kind of comes down straight down and then turns into
154
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:59,250
the bottom of our cylinder like that.
155
00:12:59,250 --> 00:13:03,720
And then if you remember the next thing we want to do is you want to draw this little dip right here
156
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,440
for the collarbone so it just starts at the bottom of this.
157
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:09,640
Right in the center just like that.
158
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:15,330
And then we can do these slightly curved and angled upwards collarbone lines
159
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,480
perfect.
160
00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:26,150
Then let's go ahead and let's draw the back muscles coming off the neck
161
00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:35,340
now on females.
162
00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:38,260
These back muscles are gonna be less prominent.
163
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,040
So on a male the neck is gonna be thicker.
164
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,120
And these back muscles will be a lot bigger on a female.
165
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,410
You're gonna tend to want to make them just a little bit smaller maybe less angled upwards and you're
166
00:13:49,410 --> 00:13:51,080
going to want to make the neck thinner.
167
00:13:57,060 --> 00:13:58,140
All right great.
168
00:13:58,140 --> 00:14:01,460
Now let's gain just a little bit more understanding about the shoulders.
169
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:06,900
So if you remember we can draw the shoulders and just by kind of drawing a simple oval like that
170
00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:18,730
and that can be used as the base for our lightning bolt that we drew before.
171
00:14:18,750 --> 00:14:22,930
So you can see that we can kind of come around like that for the first curved line and then back up.
172
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:26,200
And so just so you understand that's how that car fits onto that.
173
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800
Now depending on how big the shoulders are you might want to make these a little bit bigger.
174
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,530
You might want them to protrude out a little bit so they might pop up just a little bit more so kind
175
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:43,240
of draw those in popping up a little bit more so we kind of get a bump right there and right there.
176
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,450
All right.
177
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,920
So once we have those kind of sketched in there just you have a little bit more understanding the shoulder
178
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:54,430
muscle comes down curves around like this and then it goes a little bit further than just this oval
179
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:59,320
shape but kind of comes down into a point like that because it's a muscle that wraps around it's a big
180
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:06,400
round muscle that wraps around the arm or the bomb and then this is going to basically just come up
181
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:07,840
into the collarbone like that.
182
00:15:07,870 --> 00:15:10,270
So we kind of get a muscle just going across like that.
183
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:11,810
Same on this side.
184
00:15:12,010 --> 00:15:16,090
Now like I said I'm not going to get too much into anatomy but just you have a decent understanding
185
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:18,340
of what's going on with the shoulder muscle
186
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,810
so that's just gonna attach right in to the collarbone like that
187
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:39,800
now we can go ahead and also sketch in these muscles on the neck.
188
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,860
It's coming right down to the center there.
189
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:43,710
You can give them an Adam's apple
190
00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:48,090
just like that
191
00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:59,080
had these lines coming across here just kind of represent the surface of those muscles
192
00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:03,950
all right.
193
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:05,680
Excellent.
194
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,990
So there you go.
195
00:16:07,150 --> 00:16:13,330
There's the basic gist of how to draw the neck and the back muscles right there and the shoulders.
196
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:17,020
Now the next lectures we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna learn how to draw these in different poses
197
00:16:17,050 --> 00:16:21,040
because as people move this structure is gonna change a little bit.
198
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:24,900
Thanks for watching this lecture and I'll see you guys in the next one.
