1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,130
OK I'm really excited for this lecture because this is something that always confused me when I first
2
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:11,070
started learning how to draw character designs so dynamics or a dynamic drawing.
3
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:12,930
What is that.
4
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:19,170
That word is thrown around so much when you're learning how to draw and nobody really ever stops explain
5
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:19,830
it that well.
6
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:25,050
So I really want to make sure that you understand what it means to have a dynamic drawing and what the
7
00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:26,510
word dynamic means.
8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,640
So the word dynamic basically just means constantly changing.
9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,690
And it also can mean that it has energy.
10
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:39,570
So what this means is we basically want our drawings to have constant change and we wanted to have energy.
11
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:44,490
So most the time when people are talking about a dynamic drawing they're referring to the pose of a
12
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:45,370
character.
13
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:49,770
And so we want that pose to have some energy wanted to look like they're moving a little bit or maybe
14
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:52,140
they just moved into position just barely.
15
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:55,440
They're not just standing there stagnant and not moving at all.
16
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,990
We want them to look dynamic and have some lines in there that are dynamic and all that good stuff.
17
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:05,490
So let's talk about what are the different things that can be dynamic.
18
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:11,310
So the first one is going to be a line the next one's going to be shape
19
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:15,960
the next one is going to be form
20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,270
and then we're going to have perspective
21
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:26,420
now.
22
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:29,790
There are a few other things that can be dynamic but for now we're just going to focus on these because
23
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:31,310
these are the main ones.
24
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:32,640
So what are these look like.
25
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:39,210
Well if we if we think about the definition of dynamic which is constantly changing or energetic Well
26
00:01:39,210 --> 00:01:45,300
let's look at lines for example if we have a line and it goes like this we have a curve like that and
27
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:48,410
then it goes straight all right there.
28
00:01:48,670 --> 00:01:49,870
We have a change.
29
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,750
So it's a constant change.
30
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:55,540
We're getting that swoop like this and then it goes into a straight line or could curve in the opposite
31
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:56,380
direction.
32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,790
But a line like that is going to be dynamic and that's why I've had you guys draw so many lines similar
33
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:05,920
to this one or S curves or whatever is because they're dynamic they're constantly changing.
34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,290
So it either is curve from this side of that side or curves and then there's a point and then straight.
35
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:12,810
And so these are all dynamic lines.
36
00:02:12,820 --> 00:02:19,330
So even a curve would be a dynamic line because even though it's not necessarily changing a curve has
37
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:24,880
energy a curve has more energy than just a straight line to connect a straight line to a curved line
38
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:26,770
that creates dynamics.
39
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:32,080
But if you just have a curved line by itself that can also be dynamic just because it looks like it
40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,840
has some energy to it that swoop just looks like energy.
41
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,090
That's why a lot of the times you want your line of action to be a curved line.
42
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:42,070
OK so that's line.
43
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:43,900
Lines can be dynamic.
44
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,820
Next let's have a look at shape so you'll start to notice that there's kind of a correlation between
45
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:54,910
what I talked about before with contrast in your drawings and dynamics dynamics are very much the same
46
00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:59,500
thing as adding contrast your drawings where you want things that are different to be right next to
47
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,650
each other you want there to be constant change.
48
00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:07,120
So when it comes to shapes for example let's say that we're drawing an oval forearm like this we'll
49
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,070
do the top part of the forum as well
50
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,930
then we'll go ahead and I'm gonna draw a triangle to represent the main part of the hand
51
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:23,470
just like that.
52
00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:29,300
So right there we get some shape dynamics.
53
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:34,600
So we get that contrast between this triangle and then this round shape right there.
54
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,020
It's dynamic because it's changed and it's going from a sharp pointy shape to a rounded shape.
55
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,900
So this could be converted into something like a hand for example
56
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:05,360
set or something like that.
57
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,920
So from those dynamic shapes we're able to make an arm that looks a little bit more dynamic than if
58
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,960
we were just drawing it non dynamically we're kind of exaggerating those shapes to be pointing or they're
59
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,150
round or there.
60
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,870
So that's dynamics and shape.
61
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,210
So next we have form.
62
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:22,310
So how do we create dynamics and form.
63
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:25,350
Well we already drew a dynamic form in the previous lecture.
64
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:28,340
So if you remember we drew a forearm and it looks something like this.
65
00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:34,180
So we got a round shape down here and then we turn that into sort of a cylinder shape.
66
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:40,760
And this would be an example of a forearm where it comes into sort of a rectangular shape down here
67
00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:42,770
like that
68
00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:56,930
and instead of adding our wire frames this time what I'm going to do is only go ahead and shade that
69
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:57,200
in
70
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,800
and then over here we go in shading the bottom half because this is a cylinder on that side and that
71
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,030
sort of fate up there
72
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:26,200
maybe we'll get our midterm shut on that side of the surface
73
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:32,740
but right there is a dynamic form because it's changing.
74
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:35,530
It's not just a cylinder.
75
00:05:35,530 --> 00:05:41,770
It's a cylinder that not only does it taper so get smaller at one end but it turns into more of a rectangular
76
00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:44,800
cube shape at the other end of its form.
77
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,750
And even if we just had an actual round shape down there and it was just a tapered cylinder that's still
78
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:54,790
dynamic it's more dynamic than a cylinder that just stays the same constant throughout the entire cylinder
79
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:57,060
by having it taper down to the rest.
80
00:05:57,220 --> 00:06:01,360
That adds some beautiful dynamics to your drawing and your form.
81
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:01,870
All right.
82
00:06:01,870 --> 00:06:03,480
Now the last one is perspective.
83
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:05,740
So how do you have dynamics in perspective.
84
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:10,190
Well that's basically where you take forms and you move them so you see different perspectives on them.
85
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,840
So let's say for example we're drawing a male's torso and chest.
86
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,540
So we would go ahead and we could start by drawing the outer edges or the outer outer edges of our cubes
87
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,940
that will make up those torsos and that chest.
88
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:30,250
Go ahead draw the torso first kind of the more the pelvis area.
89
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:30,730
Gus
90
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:41,860
and so for the pelvis we're getting the main form at that angle.
91
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:45,820
But let's say that this person is kind of standing with their body backwards but then their chest is
92
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:46,710
kind of bent back.
93
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:51,340
So they're kind of angling backwards in their spine.
94
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:55,510
So what we're gonna get is we can kind of just draw lines that continue from each one of these corners
95
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:56,620
and use those as guides
96
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,120
and then we can go ahead and we can angle this cube upwards like that.
97
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,860
So this cube will actually see the bottom surface and that when we see the top surface
98
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,650
so there's an example of Dynamic Perspective now for drawn to Amick perspective and form another thing
99
00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:44,440
you might do is maybe you'll twist these so maybe somebody will be in a dynamic pose because their chest
100
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,340
area like that
101
00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:53,040
will be twisted meaning that their torso might be like this
102
00:07:56,990 --> 00:08:00,020
and so basically from that corner that corner is connecting back like that.
103
00:08:00,210 --> 00:08:03,740
That one connects to their like that
104
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:21,030
we can go out and shape that and just we have a little bit better understanding of the form going on
105
00:08:21,030 --> 00:08:21,360
here.
106
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:37,440
We can see by twisting those that makes that would make the pose more dynamic because you're not just
107
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,620
standing straight and facing forward in a neutral position they're actually twisting their body.
108
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:47,730
And if you're kind of confused about what this says basically somebodies head would be up here their
109
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:58,150
arms would be coming off here right and their legs would be coming off down here.
110
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:03,250
So that's what I'm referring to this is their their pelvis area and that's their chest area.
111
00:09:03,330 --> 00:09:07,290
And so this will just be them twisting their chest so that their pelvis is facing forward and their
112
00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:09,200
chest is twisting away.
113
00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:16,110
So these are all examples of making your lines your shapes your form and your perspective dynamic.
114
00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:20,190
Now let's have a look at some examples of some dynamic and non dynamic poses.
115
00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:24,390
Now we're not going to get too much into poses yet or drawing the human body and stuff like that because
116
00:09:24,390 --> 00:09:25,870
that's going to be later in the course.
117
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:31,230
But I just want to quickly just kind of show you examples of non dynamic and dynamic poses.
118
00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:36,210
So for example right here I have a drawing that I did of a male and he just standing there facing forward
119
00:09:36,210 --> 00:09:39,750
with his arms to the side and it's not asymmetrical at all.
120
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:45,270
It's almost perfectly symmetrical so if you could draw a line right down the center everything on this
121
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:46,890
side is basically the same on that side.
122
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:50,180
His poses in different on both sides.
123
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,180
And they're the same.
124
00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:52,920
And not only that but he's not moving.
125
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,560
He doesn't look like he's in a pose or any type of action or energy it just looks like there's no energy
126
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,640
in this pose.
127
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,460
And not only that but we don't really have very dynamic lines.
128
00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:07,670
These lines are kind of straight so you can see that I kind of made most these lines pretty straight.
129
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,280
I didn't want to have any dynamic lines in there because I want to use this as an example.
130
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:17,090
But if you were to make this more dynamic you could do things like for example you could arch these
131
00:10:17,090 --> 00:10:21,330
shoulders a little bit more make them more of a rounded shape like that and then just have a straight
132
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:22,400
line like that.
133
00:10:22,590 --> 00:10:25,070
And that would create more of a dean dynamic line.
134
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:30,360
But you can see that this is basically just has no dynamics in it hardly at all.
135
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,540
Then right here we have an example of a female body and she is in much more of a dynamic pose.
136
00:10:35,610 --> 00:10:39,870
So you can see that her hips is pushed out to this side you can see that her shoulders aren't level
137
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,250
the shoulder is a little bit higher than that shoulder.
138
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,780
She looks like she has some energy to her stance.
139
00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:50,670
She doesn't necessarily look like she's moving but she does look like she kind of just got into position
140
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,750
and there's a little bit of weight to her and she's also looks like she's putting more weight on this
141
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:55,760
leg right here.
142
00:10:55,860 --> 00:11:00,720
And you'll also notice when it comes to the lines in the form her chest area is kind of angled backwards
143
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,630
a little bit more and her pelvis area is angled a little bit more swayed back the other way.
144
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:08,910
And we also get dynamics in the line.
145
00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:10,740
You can see that there's a lot of line change in here.
146
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:14,240
So you can see right here we get kind of a straight line and then a curved line.
147
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:18,930
We get a curved line that's kind of like an S or you could think of it kind of like curved and then
148
00:11:18,930 --> 00:11:20,310
straight.
149
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:22,020
So there's lots of dynamic lines in here.
150
00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:27,330
We get ones that kind of bounce like that but there's constant changing lines constant changing form
151
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,450
and constant changing perspective.
152
00:11:30,450 --> 00:11:36,780
And that's what makes this pose so much more dynamic is there's so much changing in this pose.
153
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:37,040
All right.
154
00:11:37,050 --> 00:11:38,630
That brings us to the end of this lecture.
155
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,200
Now if you're kind of confused about dynamics go ahead and post them to the CUNY section of the course
156
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,040
and I'll make sure that me or my teacher assistant answer them because I know that this can get a little
157
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,410
bit confusing but hopefully this lecture really kind of demystified what people are talking about when
158
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:54,990
they're talking about dynamic drawings.
159
00:11:54,990 --> 00:11:57,810
Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one.
