All language subtitles for 046 Understanding The Chest Form.en

In this lecture I want to teach you a little bit more about the chest and how its form works.

So let's go ahead and let's start by drawing the neck and the shoulders and all that good stuff.

So in this case I'm just going to actually leave I'm going to leave out the head.

I'm just gonna start with a cylinder for the neck

something like that angle it back a little bit and curve it then I'm going to go ahead and decide side

where my shoulders are gonna be so put one shoulder over here

and then I'll put another shoulder right here.

All right great.

And then we can go ahead and just kind of sketch out lightly where the back muscles will be

and then we can go ahead and sketch out the collarbone

actually going to kind of draw those shoulders up just a little bit higher.

So as I'm doing this you're starting you should start to build your knowledge and have an understanding

of how I'm building this up so I'm not just going straight into drawing it I'm lightly sketching it

out doing a rough OF IT AND THEN I'LL GO BACK IN AND DARK AND EVERYTHING AND but I'm just kind of making

sure that I have everything in the correct position.

All right then go ahead and sketch out the chest so the chest is gonna basically be a line angled that

way and a line angled this way.

They're gonna have a slight curve to them and then coming straight across.

Want to keep those in line so draw a line like that and then we'll angle a line coming down like this

and a line coming down like that and actually we want to make this a little bit more elongated on this

side just because we're looking at this more of a three quarters view

right.

And then we're gonna go ahead and draw a line across the front like this just very slightly curved and

then we can go ahead and we can start actually drawing in some form now.

So right now we're just gonna have the shape here but what we want to do is go to mark out the center

of the chest what we want to do is we want to go ahead and add some dimension to this.

So the way we can do that is if we draw a line right here we're gonna kind of turn this into more of

a cube like form

just like that.

We can darken all these lines and so we can see it a little bit better

great.

And so now what we can do is we can go ahead and shade this in

and say that the light is coming down from above.

And in front of it.

So we're gonna get a shadow underneath this bottom part of this boxy shape.

So as you can see the chest actually protrudes off of the front of the body.

It's not just a flat surface it actually has some form to and it kind of hangs over this belly like

area so it can go ahead and kind of draw that belly area.

And so I'm just gonna kind of draw a simple cylinder because we haven't gotten to how to draw this yet.

So just keep it really simple.

Something like this just kind of make it a cylinder that tapers down towards the waist and gets a lot

wider out towards the top because then it's going to move up into the back muscle which we'll talk about

that later would connect into that we can go in dark and all of this

we can kind of shape this shoulder muscle out a little bit from the viewer seen the shoulder and kind

of get cut right in half like that.

And then this one to become kind of a raindrop shape.

One arm would come down right there no arm come down right here

anyways the point is that

you want to understand that each one of these parts are formed so the neck is a cylinder it's round

this shoulder muscle right here or this neck or the back muscle it wraps around and it's a round shape

that wraps around it so when we draw these lines in for the muscle you can have a better understanding

of how that kind of wraps around these are shapes are kind of cylinder like shapes or a little bit stretched

out but they're like cylinders and the chest is kind of a boxy shape protrudes out off of the the belly

area so you want to really start to understand these as forms and not just as shapes.

All right great.

That brings us to the end of this lecture.

Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one.
