00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:05,910
OK so now that you know how to do art studies what we want to do is we want to talk about how those
2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:08,400
art studies convert into character design.
3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,130
So once we have this visual library built up in our heads then we can go ahead and we can start drawing
4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:14,670
characters.
5
00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:18,570
Now you don't have to have this visual library built up in your head before you start drawing characters
6
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:22,020
that don't feel like you have to do a bunch of art studies before you start designing characters but
7
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:22,860
it will help a lot.
8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,680
And I just want to demonstrate now real quickly how this is done.
9
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:30,450
So let's say we have our hand here that we just drew and we understand how to draw that hand.
10
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:33,960
Well what we can do now is we can take that out of our head or we can look at our reference or whatever
11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,260
we want and we can just kind of stylized it.
12
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,930
So one way we can stylized is by simplifying.
13
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:44,790
So for example let's say that we want to simplify our drawing so we get rid of all of this complicated
14
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:49,320
shading increases and stuff like that and we're just going to focus on simple shapes and let's all go
15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,860
ahead and sterilize it by kind of adding a specific shape to it.
16
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:55,560
So let's make this hand more square.
17
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:59,460
So the way we can do this is we can just go ahead and start by drawing a square for the palm of the
18
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:04,650
hand so rather than just drawing a circle we're going to use a square where we can make that a little
19
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:10,080
bit more of a rectangle make it a little bit longer and then we to go ahead and we can just go ahead
20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,780
and block out the fingers.
21
00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:17,190
So we want to just basically make another square that's about the same size and use that as our guide
22
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:20,620
because our fingers are gonna be as long as the palm of your hand.
23
00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:22,050
Then let's go ahead and let's draw on the thumb.
24
00:01:22,050 --> 00:01:27,930
So we want to just kind of cut this shape here but we want to make it a little bit more rigid so we
25
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:32,390
can go and just draw a line like this and draw a line like that.
26
00:01:32,470 --> 00:01:33,120
Like this
27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:44,840
right.
28
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:48,800
So we're just kind of squaring that up a little bit more and then for the fingers the tips of them we're
29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,090
gonna make them nice and square.
30
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:57,110
So I want to start by first dividing this up into my four fingers.
31
00:01:57,510 --> 00:02:02,070
The pinky there maybe I'll widen these fingers up just a little bit more like that.
32
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:06,590
Those will be my guidelines and I can just kind of draw those coming straight up like this
33
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:14,270
perfect and then we want our middle finger to be the longest on our index finger the next longest.
34
00:02:14,290 --> 00:02:24,980
Then a ring finger and then our Pinky then we can go ahead just draw those in like that and we can go
35
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:26,830
ahead and drawn or risk.
36
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,870
So rest is just gonna come right off the square just like this.
37
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:34,400
And as you can see this is looking very similar to the study we did but is more stylized so this might
38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,160
be more of a character's type of hand that might be in something like let's say a Pixar film or something
39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,310
like that or maybe it's your comic book just want to keep all these fingers nice at Square
40
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,760
and you can see I'm just simplifying it.
41
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:09,150
So instead of doing all this Jaggi wrinkle working here is doing one sweep of a line right across there
42
00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:10,950
to show the crease of the fingers
43
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:17,720
to kind of reshape the storm a little bit.
44
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:21,790
You want to actually bring it down a little bit more I can use my razor to help you raise set out just
45
00:03:21,790 --> 00:03:23,390
a little bit.
46
00:03:24,090 --> 00:03:26,020
I'm going to bring thumb a little bit more down here
47
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,210
so don't ever be afraid to erase things you can always raise as much as you need or if you're doing
48
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:41,350
this digitally don't ever feel like you can't undo things.
49
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:45,610
I mean you probably know that you can undo things but don't ever feel limited in how many times you
50
00:03:45,610 --> 00:03:51,160
can undo a line or something like that you can undo things as many times as you need
51
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,630
go ahead and thin this hand out a little bit more of this wrist.
52
00:03:57,630 --> 00:03:59,760
I mean that
53
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,260
I'm going to go ahead and just outline this a little bit more now.
54
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:30,910
Perfect.
55
00:04:30,940 --> 00:04:32,440
And then we can go ahead and just kind of shaded it.
56
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:39,610
I'm going to keep this nice and simple to draw and overwrite there Mark out of line right here I'm just
57
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:48,710
gonna start by shading in this part of the hand like that so I'm just keeping the shading nice and simple
58
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:52,420
just like my line and shape work gotten shade in this part right here.
59
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,070
Now I know I'm using a red pencil if you don't have one that's fine.
60
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:04,230
That's not important I just like to switch up the colors of my pencil sometimes when I'm drawing so
61
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,220
I don't don't think that that's a really important part of this drawing.
62
00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:11,390
I'm drawing another over a third.
63
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,920
Drawing coming off like this shade that in
64
00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:49,630
right perfect so there we go.
65
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:51,550
There's more of a stylized hand now.
66
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,260
It's nice and square.
67
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:54,700
It's a little bit more interesting looking.
68
00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:59,440
So this is how we would take something like an art study or something out of our visual library and
69
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,500
we would convert that into part of our stylized character design.
70
00:06:04,510 --> 00:06:09,580
So what I want you to do now is I want you to go ahead and take your reference photo that you found
71
00:06:09,580 --> 00:06:13,500
for your other art study that I told you to do in the last lecture.
72
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:18,430
I want to take that art study and I want you to redraw it but kind of try to stylized it and simplify
73
00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:18,520
it.
74
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,420
Now if it doesn't look perfect that's okay because I know that we're we're kind of getting into waters
75
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:24,610
that you don't really understand how to do yet.
76
00:06:24,850 --> 00:06:25,630
But I want you.
77
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:30,310
I like to introduce my students into these areas that are a little bit difficult for them because I
78
00:06:30,310 --> 00:06:34,140
want them to start really thinking and understanding this stuff on their own.
79
00:06:34,210 --> 00:06:40,290
So try to simplify your reference photo or study and then try to draw a little bit more stylized.
80
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:45,730
So if you want you can copy me just to make it easier if you do so just copy my style of just kind of
81
00:06:45,730 --> 00:06:50,960
turning things into more square and rigid shapes and see what you can come up with.
82
00:06:51,030 --> 00:06:53,800
And go ahead and post that to the Q and A section of the course.
83
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,710
Thanks for watching this lecture and I'll see you guys in the next one.
