All language subtitles for 050 Drawing The Female Torso.en

In this lecture we're gonna be learning how to draw the female torso.

So let's go ahead and begin.

So first we're going to start off by just marking out kind of the color Bones you know where the top

of the shoulders will be and also what we want to do is if you remember at the very beginning in the

course I talked about how we want to have dynamic lines in our drawing.

So we're going to start incorporating that starting now.

So one way we can do this is in somebody's stance in the torso.

We can kind of change the angle of the line.

So what I mean by this is from shoulder to shoulder we can kind of angle it downwards like that.

Right.

And we can continue that all the way down to the bottom of the rib cage and then when we get to the

hips we can angle them up like this.

So kind of the opposite.

So one's angled that way and one is angled that way and that just kind of gives us some really nice

dynamics in our drawing.

All right.

So we Marco our collarbone then what we want to do is we want to go ahead and we can kind of sketch

in our shoulders we might change the size of that.

I like to draw lightly so as I start placing things in I can always go back and kind of change it up.

All right.

So now we want to go ahead and draw

the rib cage.

So it's just gonna be an oval like that.

So yeah I think on enlarge it like that.

I'm gonna go ahead and you raise some of the inside out

perfect and then I'm gonna go ahead and kind of sketch in the direction of my spine.

So it's gonna go right through the center of that and then kind of curve into my pelvis area just like

that.

So that's kind of my line of action here.

Now I can already tell just by looking at this that the shoulders are too small and they're too far

apart.

So I'm go raise those and I'll just go ahead and kind of sketch my shoulders and because I kind of want

them to be a little bit behind the rib cage like that.

All right great.

Then we can go ahead and we can sketch out the pelvis of the pelvis is just gonna be another Oval but

it will be smaller and it'll be more on its side

we wanted to just be the slightest bit wider than this oval up here with wise just because if you remember

we want the hips to be a little bit wider than the shoulders on a female.

All right great.

So there we go.

Well you kind of sketch in some arm's coming down here.

Not gonna get too crazy with it.

And then we would get our shoulder neck muscles

just like that.

All right.

So then from here let's go ahead and let's kind of draw out our rib cage if you remember we want the

rib cage.

We want to come up to about halfway between the top and the bottom of the rib cage.

And if you remember we want the female cavity to kind of be slightly less angled so it can be kind of

a softer angle like that.

Great.

Next we're going to do is going to come down here we're going to kind of start drawing in the sockets

for the legs.

So what I want to do is I want to draw one around like this.

I want to start by just kind of drawing an oval which kind of represents a sphere being sliced in half

drawn right there and I'll draw one right there.

So they just fit right within that oval.

And then off of that I can go ahead and kind of draw out kind of half a dozen type of shape off of that

and that kind of gives me some more width on the hips.

All right great.

Next what I wanna do is I'm gonna go ahead and start drawing in the waist so to connect these we just

want to go ahead and start one line England and like that we'll do the same thing on the other side.

And then they're just going to go back up like that and they're going to kind of pass the ribs up here.

Which kind of cleaning this up a little bit.

I think that these hips might be a little bit too angled like that so we're going to kind of try to

fix that just a tiny bit.

All right great.

So then there's the bottom of the crotch.

The legs would just come off just like this.

All right.

So there's the thighs.

It's like would come off right here.

You could have your head up here

and then we could go ahead and draw on the breast.

So we start right here where the collarbone should be.

Go ahead just draw that heart shape out.

This

now we can go ahead and draw on the PAC muscle.

So just kind of shows off to the side right there.

And actually we could probably lower that a little bit.

That's a little bit too high.

Something like that.

I think these shoulders could actually be moved out just a little bit more as well.

So maybe we'll kind of move them back out to where we had him before

that.

All right.

Now we can kind of draw those breasts in just a little bit better.

So I'm going to darken my lines and just kind of solidify that so we get one or there the other one

right here.

Now looking at this it's looking a little bit too stretched out so you could draw a character with a

pretty stretched out torso.

But I want this to be a little bit more accurate.

So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna go ahead and I'm just going to kind of move and shift all of this

up a little bit so I'm going to raise some of this and just kind of shift it up a little bit more maybe

shift this oval up here and this is what drawing the Ruff is all about is you can change this type of

stuff at this point I'm drawing

this

now we can go ahead and kind of start sketching in sort of the area for the abs.

So I'm just going to kind of roughly drawdown as an oval just to get my sizing and all that.

And

you can go ahead and divide this up into their separate parts.

This would be if somebody had kind of an eight pack

and we get kind of a crease right here from the crotch in the leg.

Lighten up some of these guidelines a little bit.

Belly button should go right about there in the middle of the ABS

right.

And that's pretty wide.

I guess you could call that thigh gap truly up to you how wide you want that to be.

Because again all of this really just depends on the proportions of the character that you're drawing.

So all of this can change a little bit

go and drop the nipples in

so those might be a little bit too far off to the side to kind of move those in just a little bit.

Great.

One two we could take a darker pencil just kind of dark in this end because have a lot of blue lines

going on there so I just kind of clean it up with one of these pencils

all right.

So there we go.

And again I just want to point out you can see that the hips are whiter than the shoulders and that's

really one of the biggest things you're looking for when you're drawing a female form is you want that.

And when you're drawing the mallet you want it to be the other way around you on the shoulders to be

whiter than the hips.

All right.

That brings us to the end of this lecture.

If you have any questions about this go ahead and post it to the CUNY section of the course and make

sure that you're posting your work because I'd love to see the progress that you're making.

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