1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,080
In this lecture we're gonna be learning about dynamic poses and what makes opposed dynamic.
2
00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:09,600
So typically when you're drawing character you want your poses to be dynamic and we kind of covered
3
00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:13,710
some things about dynamics in poses.
4
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:20,130
And if you remember really early in this course we talked about how dynamics are just basically constant
5
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:22,220
change throughout your drawing.
6
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:25,050
The definition of dynamics is constant change.
7
00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:29,040
And so that means that we want to do things like have contrast you want things to be contrasting and
8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,980
we also want things to be curving and have movement to him.
9
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:38,430
That's really what dynamics is is it's where you just kind of give a curve and a direction to every
10
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:40,560
part of your form.
11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,960
So let's break it down into a few different categories.
12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:52,000
So the first thing is dynamic lines.
13
00:00:52,030 --> 00:00:54,970
The next thing is dynamic shapes
14
00:01:01,630 --> 00:01:03,700
next is going to be dynamic forms.
15
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:09,980
So you can see that we're just kind of breaking it down into the three basic building blocks of drawing
16
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:18,800
and all of these you want to have dynamics built into them and then lastly is going to be dynamic
17
00:01:21,820 --> 00:01:24,770
axis is there we go.
18
00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:30,610
So those are the four dynamic lines dynamic shapes dynamic form and dynamic axis.
19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,920
So let's go ahead and let's start by talking about the line.
20
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:36,910
So we've kind of already covered all this but I really just want to break down and really show you.
21
00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:42,750
And training on how to identify dynamic pose and how to make your poses look dynamic.
22
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,620
So first off is the line so line could be the line of action.
23
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:51,790
We can have a dynamic line of action so if you remember a straight line that is not dynamic a dynamic
24
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,250
line of action would be something like an S curve or can be even more complicated than that.
25
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:02,760
Maybe it could be something like this right.
26
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:06,580
You can have all kinds of different dynamic poses you can just have one curve like this
27
00:02:09,260 --> 00:02:14,860
so any type of curving line is going to be good for a dynamic pose.
28
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:18,260
Sometimes you can even have C shape line of actions.
29
00:02:18,260 --> 00:02:20,180
And so that's just line of action.
30
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,250
But then when it goes into the actual body form we want the lines that make up each part of the body
31
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:26,480
to be part of the dynamic.
32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,480
So we're drawing somebodies gesture for example we can draw the shoulders curve like this.
33
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:33,470
You can draw this arm.
34
00:02:33,470 --> 00:02:39,620
Actually it will draw this arm curved out like this or we'll have it curve in like this and then curve
35
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:42,280
out like that and we can do the same thing for this side.
36
00:02:42,290 --> 00:02:46,430
So have this arm curve like this occur forward like that
37
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:54,620
and then for the legs we could have one leg kind of come out like this just kind of follow what we got
38
00:02:54,620 --> 00:03:01,080
going on here and then maybe the other leg can kind of come out like that right.
39
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:05,780
So there's just a super simple gesture it's basically a stick figure made up of lines we can see that
40
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:12,610
basically each line has a nice dynamic to it because it is curving it's changing.
41
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,490
It's not just a straight line because imagine what this would look like if we just use straight lines
42
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
the how static and boring that is.
43
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800
But when we use all these curved lines it gets much much more interesting.
44
00:03:32,830 --> 00:03:38,650
So we got a curve going like this and the next curve goes like that and it's a constant changing curve
45
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:43,380
right.
46
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,310
All right So lying is the first one next is gonna be shaped.
47
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,630
So an example of where shapes can be dynamic is let's say in the arm for example.
48
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:54,160
So we have these kind of curves going on in the lines here and let's just kind of apply that to the
49
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,940
arms.
50
00:03:55,030 --> 00:04:02,030
So let's say that we start off with the shoulder like this and then we have the bicep come off so the
51
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,590
biceps is gonna be kind of a rectangular shape but we're gonna make it dynamic by curving it like that
52
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,070
and we can go ahead and do the forearm and this will be kind of a trapezoid that is tapered towards
53
00:04:15,070 --> 00:04:16,900
the bottom and curves a little bit
54
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,340
and it could do the hand move the hand is kind of sticking out very stiff like that we can see that
55
00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:35,380
just with the shapes we get this dynamic and the way we got this dynamic is by kind of following our
56
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:37,120
line of action through the arm.
57
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:44,240
So the line of action to the arm is basically traveling through like this right.
58
00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:47,950
Other places where we can have dynamics and the shape is basically anywhere.
59
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:59,130
So the leg of the leg kind of come out like this for the thigh and then for the calf can have it and
60
00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:02,350
go back like this right.
61
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:03,750
That's dynamic for the chest.
62
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:05,990
We could do a shape like this.
63
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:13,440
It's kind of a boxy rectangle shape to represent the form and just kind of add some curve to that chest.
64
00:05:13,470 --> 00:05:16,790
So it's not just really plain.
65
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Now oftentimes in reality poses that you'll look at in photographs.
66
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,380
They actually don't look that dynamic.
67
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:25,530
They'll look pretty dynamic especially if it's an action pose.
68
00:05:25,530 --> 00:05:28,400
But a lot of the times these poses will look a little stiff.
69
00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:34,140
And so it's really up to you to really exaggerate these lines these contouring lines that are really
70
00:05:34,350 --> 00:05:36,120
kind of have emotion to him.
71
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,660
That's why we want to figure out what the motion of each part of the body is even when we're looking
72
00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:45,690
at reference photos figure out what direction it's motion is moving and then exaggerate that.
73
00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:46,020
All right.
74
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:48,320
So next let's go ahead to move on to form.
75
00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:52,650
So we actually kind of form here and turn this into actually a form box even though it's supposed to
76
00:05:52,650 --> 00:05:58,590
be a shape but that's a that's an example right there is just that we can also do things basically like
77
00:05:58,620 --> 00:06:04,120
all of these these are all these can be converted into forms so for drawing the hand for example serve
78
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:15,270
the shoulder maybe the arm is kind of reaching out and so we incorporate some for shortening in their
79
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:17,980
right.
80
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:19,600
And so we basically get a cylinder there
81
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:26,390
and we get the four arm which will kind of curve back this way
82
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,360
can even give some direction to these fingers so they're not just static.
83
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,400
They actually kind of curving a little bit.
84
00:06:52,470 --> 00:06:59,550
This is this is really almost the secret to drawing good character poses is having those dynamics in
85
00:06:59,550 --> 00:07:04,130
there and when you really understand them it really makes your poses just look that much better.
86
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:09,930
It looks more professional and it just looks more interesting it gives more life to your character.
87
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:14,550
And so that's why we're kind of going over this so much is because these dynamics and these gestures
88
00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:18,480
are gonna be super pertinent to your character design.
89
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,020
And so the main thing I'm just trying to get you to understand is that when we add dynamics which is
90
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:28,650
basically just kind of curving all these objects and giving them a direction then it allows us to create
91
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:31,770
much more interesting looking characters.
92
00:07:31,770 --> 00:07:35,250
So let's go ahead and let's mark out with some arrows just kind of the direction of these just so you
93
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,990
kind of really get the idea of it.
94
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:39,750
So direction of that shape is that way.
95
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Then this one is going that way the hand is going that way the leg is going this way and then the calf
96
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,550
is going that way.
97
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:50,540
And this arm basically follows the same arm over here where it's going like that.
98
00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:55,680
And this one's curving that way the shoulders curving like that the fingers that one's covenant like
99
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,510
that that one's curving out the other way one's Carbonell Like that.
100
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,490
So all of these every single part of it has a direction.
101
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:06,720
Now you'll see later when we start doing gesture drawings and we start breaking down the gesture and
102
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,880
figuring out the direction of all these curves that eventually we want to get to a point where it looks
103
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,730
more realistic and these are very very exaggerated which is a important part of sketching out the under
104
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:18,870
drawing of the pose.
105
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:24,750
But we need to make sure that in the end it actually looks real but by really exaggerating this at the
106
00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:28,560
beginning we can kind of tone it down just a little bit later in our drawing.
107
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,180
So it doesn't look as exaggerated but it still looks a little bit more exaggerated there's still more
108
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:38,250
motion and gesture and intent and action in your pose.
109
00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:38,480
All right.
110
00:08:38,490 --> 00:08:43,170
The last one we're going to go ahead and talk about is the axis so dynamics in the axis.
111
00:08:43,170 --> 00:08:50,910
So we've already kind of gone over this to go ahead and just move this guide down so it is kind of out
112
00:08:50,910 --> 00:08:53,240
of our way so we can draw.
113
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,520
All right.
114
00:08:53,770 --> 00:09:00,420
So so the axis is just going to be basically the horizontal axis is which would be like the shoulders.
115
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:02,690
All right axis is on the head.
116
00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:08,430
So these are just axis that are going basically straight across and then vertical axis is going to be
117
00:09:08,430 --> 00:09:18,390
things like the neck so the neck might be like this the spine might be like this here and then right
118
00:09:18,390 --> 00:09:23,730
here when he gets into the hips maybe it's going that way in the hips or angled like this and so having
119
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:27,960
all these angles change really makes your drawings look that much more dynamic.
120
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,260
So see we can just start kind of breaking this down
121
00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:37,180
and this is another way you can kind of draw rib cages.
122
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:41,730
It's just kind of more of a rectangle shape like this.
123
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:42,300
All right.
124
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,850
You can put a ball in here for the waist
125
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:50,530
go and draw the hips in
126
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:46,660
them for the legs.
127
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:47,890
Go ahead.
128
00:10:48,110 --> 00:10:53,210
Since the hips are angled kind of swinging that way that means that this leg over here is gonna be a
129
00:10:53,210 --> 00:10:54,320
little bit higher than this one.
130
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,660
So that means the knee will be a little bit higher as well.
131
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:26,320
Right.
132
00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:30,970
And at the other knew was behind this one to be kind of down here so the knee line would kind of be
133
00:11:30,970 --> 00:11:32,020
going like that.
134
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:34,370
So we got all these nice different angles going on.
135
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,040
All right.
136
00:11:35,050 --> 00:11:36,780
So that's kind of a basic rundown.
137
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:40,790
And just to kind of jog your memory and remembering the dynamic.
138
00:11:40,810 --> 00:11:45,100
So just remember that basically when it comes in line shape and form we're looking for all these different
139
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:49,440
directional curves in those drawings.
140
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,940
And when it comes to the dynamics of the axis we're looking for different angles so for the neck we
141
00:11:54,940 --> 00:12:02,620
want that to be different from the the upper body and the torso and the pelvis and the legs all those
142
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:07,080
who want to be different and same with the vertical and Hort or sorry the horizontal ones.
143
00:12:07,090 --> 00:12:08,630
We want all those to be different.
144
00:12:08,890 --> 00:12:13,180
Now let's go ahead and have a look at a few photographic examples.
145
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,650
So right here we're gonna start breaking these down and figuring out whether we think that they are
146
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:19,750
dynamic or not.
147
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:28,200
So let's go ahead and set a new layer so we can draw on top of this so this first one here what we can
148
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,450
do is we can start breaking it down.
149
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:31,970
So first off we can break it down into her line.
150
00:12:31,980 --> 00:12:35,820
So if we draw a line through this you'll see that we can either get a line of action going through her
151
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:38,970
like that or we can go through it like this.
152
00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:42,000
I think that's probably the stronger line of action going on there.
153
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,250
So that line looks pretty good.
154
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:50,250
Next we can go ahead and let's look at her arm so this arm I would say you could turn it into a line
155
00:12:50,250 --> 00:12:54,140
of action like that a little more curved can exaggerate it.
156
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:59,690
This one's curved as well and this leg actually would have a line to actually going through it.
157
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:04,940
But if you wanted to you could add a line of action curving like that through that leg.
158
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,850
And another one going through that legs we have these nice dynamic lines of action.
159
00:13:08,850 --> 00:13:11,390
So so far this looks pretty good.
160
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:15,230
Next let's go ahead and let's have a look at the shapes.
161
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,740
So her upper body is kind of curving like this.
162
00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:20,940
You could imagine it like that.
163
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:29,200
Her pelvis is kind of curving in like that and then kind of get some curve going on here and then it
164
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:36,730
kind of curves back out like that so it's a very subtle be considered a little bit a curve to all of
165
00:13:36,730 --> 00:13:37,490
this.
166
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:40,740
Right.
167
00:13:41,710 --> 00:13:45,900
And that's what we're looking for and all these shapes can be converted and formed so they're kind of
168
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,020
dynamic forms.
169
00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:51,120
A lot of the times you find in real life that the forms and the shapes aren't actually that dynamic
170
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:51,840
looking.
171
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,620
You have to kind of make them dynamic when you draw them.
172
00:13:55,620 --> 00:14:00,120
So when we're looking for a dynamic pose what we're mostly looking for is those lines of action and
173
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,200
then the second thing we're going to be looking for are those dynamic axis is.
174
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,230
So let's go ahead and let's check her for her axis so add a new layer and let's see.
175
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,310
Let's start with the shoulders so we can draw a line through the shoulders like this and you can see
176
00:14:15,310 --> 00:14:18,040
that if we draw a line through the eyes those are about at the same angle.
177
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,640
And that's OK.
178
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,220
We don't always have to have it completely different.
179
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,130
And then when we get down to the hips the hips look like they're a little bit more straight so they
180
00:14:27,130 --> 00:14:28,960
look like they're more like this.
181
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,960
The other knee looks like it appears to be back there like that.
182
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200
So for drawing to the knee it looks like this.
183
00:14:34,270 --> 00:14:39,380
Draw a line through the bottom of the toes you can see that they're just slightly angled that way.
184
00:14:39,490 --> 00:14:44,080
So this isn't a super dynamic pose but it definitely has dynamic.
185
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,370
So if you wanted to use a puzzle like this for your character this would be a good supposed to use you'd
186
00:14:48,370 --> 00:14:53,710
probably want to exaggerate the gesture a little bit to make a more dynamic but this would work just
187
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,220
great.
188
00:14:54,670 --> 00:14:57,070
All right let's have a look at our next example.
189
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:57,380
All right.
190
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,000
So here we have this girl I want to switch over to a different color.
191
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,040
I think there's a I think we'll be able to see better if I use a different color and a different brush.
192
00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:10,060
So we'll grab like a red.
193
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:10,420
All right.
194
00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:18,260
So this guy right here you can see that if we draw a line through our shoulders like this and then we
195
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:25,930
draw a line through her eyes we draw a line through her hips draw a line through her knees and her feet
196
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:31,600
we can also draw the vertical axes
197
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:40,150
so you can see that these are all very dynamic looking.
198
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:42,760
So this is a very good pose very interesting.
199
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,680
She has all the weight on this foot right here which also helps make it interesting and plays into the
200
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,840
actual pose itself.
201
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,370
Next let's go ahead and let's have a look at the lines of action.
202
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:58,240
So for the line of action I would say it's probably running through her body.
203
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,360
You could says kind of going something like this that might be a little complicated and that's the case
204
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,450
sometimes lines of action are complicated you can maybe even say it's going like this so that's a very
205
00:16:09,450 --> 00:16:10,460
dynamic line of action.
206
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:15,480
Either one of those arms got that line there that line there.
207
00:16:15,730 --> 00:16:21,150
This line here and then for this leg you could probably go ahead and kind of curve it out like that
208
00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:24,610
this one kind of curves like this.
209
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:27,780
So overall this is a really dynamic pose.
210
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:32,950
So this is a for sure dynamic pose would look really good for your character.
211
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:35,080
All right let's have a look at the next example.
212
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,630
So all right.
213
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,780
So this girl we can start by drawing her line of action so it's very simple from the side view you can
214
00:16:40,780 --> 00:16:43,390
see it's just running right there a body just like that.
215
00:16:43,390 --> 00:16:44,400
Next we can go ahead.
216
00:16:44,410 --> 00:16:48,310
Let's see these arms even have a line of action going like this and this one kind of has one coming
217
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:49,030
out like that.
218
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,020
So very very good line of action there's even a line of action going through her hair.
219
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:56,120
So this is already pretty dynamic looking.
220
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:56,590
All right.
221
00:16:56,740 --> 00:17:01,440
Now let's go ahead and break her down and see if we can see any dynamics in her axis.
222
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:06,460
So it's really kind of hard to see her but I can tell just by looking at this that her shoulders on
223
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:08,840
the same level so it's just gonna be kind of like that.
224
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:11,450
Her eyes are actually angled up like this.
225
00:17:11,450 --> 00:17:16,200
So already those axes are very dynamic because they're completely angled differently.
226
00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:20,080
Even though we're looking at it from the side view makes it a much more interesting pose because instead
227
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:25,600
of just looking forward and being on the same axis as her shoulders she's looking upward so that it's
228
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,050
just much more interesting for the pose itself.
229
00:17:29,050 --> 00:17:34,870
Next let's go ahead and let's see the bottom of the breast problems facing straight forward like that
230
00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:40,900
the hips properly angled downwards a little bit you can kind of see what this leg it's angled down like
231
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:46,120
that then for the knees it's also kind of angled downwards because one knee is a little bit higher than
232
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:51,950
the other and then for the feet you can see that the feet are off a little bit like that.
233
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,060
So we have all these nice different angles in here.
234
00:17:55,170 --> 00:17:58,040
So these are very different.
235
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,580
And so that makes this pose very dynamic which is good for your character designs.
236
00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:02,960
All right.
237
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:07,060
So now what I want I want you to do is I have three more examples here.
238
00:18:07,070 --> 00:18:13,280
But I want you to look at them and I want you to pause the video and I want you to try to decipher in
239
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,430
your own head whether you think the pose is dynamic or not.
240
00:18:16,430 --> 00:18:17,150
If you think it is.
241
00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:22,400
Go ahead and just think the answer is yes or write it down on a piece paper whatever you want.
242
00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:27,080
And then on pause the video and then I'm going to go ahead and go through it and we're going to figure
243
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,400
out if it's dynamic or not.
244
00:18:29,210 --> 00:18:29,400
All right.
245
00:18:29,420 --> 00:18:34,340
So here's the first one so go ahead and pause a video and study it for a minute and decide whether it's
246
00:18:34,340 --> 00:18:36,920
dynamic or not run through all the steps.
247
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:47,450
So check and see if the lines of action are dynamic and also check to see if the accesses are dynamic.
248
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:47,840
All right.
249
00:18:47,940 --> 00:18:52,800
So you should have come up with the answer for yourself.
250
00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:55,320
So let's go ahead and let's go through this.
251
00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:57,570
First of all let's figure out what is a line of action.
252
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,260
So his line of action is kind of a curved line like this.
253
00:19:02,270 --> 00:19:08,440
And then we also get kind of a line of action going like this one for this arm and one for this arm
254
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,850
so already these lines of action are pretty dynamic.
255
00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:17,950
You could also even almost say that his center line of action is actually going like this curving that
256
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:18,600
way.
257
00:19:18,690 --> 00:19:26,370
And when he gets to his knee it starts to curve the other way but either one of those are correct.
258
00:19:26,370 --> 00:19:26,640
All right.
259
00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:28,260
So the lines of action are correct.
260
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:32,960
Let's go ahead and have a look at his axis is so his shoulders are angled like this.
261
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:38,650
His eyes are angled like that elbows or like this.
262
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,650
Let's see the chest would be angled probably something like that.
263
00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:49,740
If we use the genes as kind of an indicator where his hips are they're kind of angling like that his
264
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:53,520
knees are very angled from each other and his feet are also super angled.
265
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:56,370
So this is an incredibly dynamic pose.
266
00:19:56,370 --> 00:19:59,840
So if you said that this was a dynamic pose great job.
267
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,080
All right let's go ahead and look at the next example.
268
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,250
All right.
269
00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:09,060
So here's this girl go ahead and positive video and figure out whether this is a dynamic pose or not.
270
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:12,510
All right.
271
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:14,600
So let's go ahead and have a look at her.
272
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:18,390
So let's start by breaking her down into her main line of action.
273
00:20:18,410 --> 00:20:23,030
So she's basically just a straight line just shooting straight through her body just like that.
274
00:20:23,060 --> 00:20:25,030
So that's not very dynamic.
275
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,620
Her arms are also just maybe the slightest bit curve but not very much.
276
00:20:30,620 --> 00:20:36,000
Her shoulders are pretty straight ones not higher than the other.
277
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:36,610
Let's see.
278
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:39,530
And the legs are just very straight lines of action as well.
279
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:41,660
So so far not looking very good.
280
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:45,140
The lines of action are not very dynamic.
281
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:48,080
They're just a bunch of straight lines that we can go ahead and let's see.
282
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,520
Let's draw a line through eyes.
283
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:56,450
Draw a line through her shoulders trawling through her hips her knees her feet and you can see that
284
00:20:56,450 --> 00:20:58,910
their pace sickly all completely straight.
285
00:20:59,210 --> 00:21:03,920
So this is not a dynamic pose really whatsoever.
286
00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:08,240
So if you decided that this wasn't a dynamic pose then you are correct.
287
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,880
So this no dynamics.
288
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,170
All right.
289
00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:12,310
So here's the final one.
290
00:21:12,530 --> 00:21:16,720
So go ahead and positive video and just think real good about this one.
291
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,500
See if you can figure out whether it's dynamic or not.
292
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:22,990
All right.
293
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,510
Let's go ahead and break it down.
294
00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:29,010
So her line of action her main line of action is kind of running through her head like this and our
295
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:29,870
need.
296
00:21:30,150 --> 00:21:36,560
We could also do a line of action like that and another one right here this arm right here is slightly
297
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,820
curved outwards.
298
00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:43,480
And this one is slightly curved over so the lines are very dynamic.
299
00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:46,340
Let's go ahead and have a look at her actresses.
300
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:50,390
So her shoulders come across like this.
301
00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:52,030
Bottom of the chest.
302
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,430
And then the hips are kind of angled like that.
303
00:21:54,650 --> 00:22:00,170
The knees are very you almost can you really measure the axis between those two that they're so far
304
00:22:00,170 --> 00:22:00,580
apart.
305
00:22:00,860 --> 00:22:01,780
But let's just draw a line.
306
00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:03,690
Anyways you can see how angled that is.
307
00:22:03,770 --> 00:22:08,060
You can't really measure the feet at all to I guess you could draw a line like this but I'm not sure
308
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:11,650
if I would really count for measuring the actresses.
309
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:15,510
Her face is kind of angled like this.
310
00:22:15,530 --> 00:22:16,570
Something like that.
311
00:22:16,580 --> 00:22:16,990
All right.
312
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,400
And then also you can go ahead and let's measure out the
313
00:22:22,430 --> 00:22:32,980
the vertical axis is this is actually has kind of a curve to it which is pretty dynamic.
314
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,540
All right great.
315
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:36,590
So you can see that there are so many different angles going on here.
316
00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:40,080
This is probably actually the most dynamic pose that we've looked at so far.
317
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,560
So give this a nice big green check.
318
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,190
Very dynamic.
319
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,460
All right.
320
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:51,360
That brings us to the end of this lecture so I hope that you're really starting to understand what dynamics
321
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:54,530
are and how they plan to gesture and why they're so important.
322
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:59,440
I hope you can see the difference for example between this pose and this pose.
323
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:02,520
If you were to draw a character with this pose very boring.
324
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,320
If you draw a character with this pose more interesting this might not tell much of a story so maybe
325
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,010
you wouldn't want this pose but a very dynamic pose is just much more interesting.
326
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:17,340
So maybe maybe you'd want your character have more of a natural pose maybe something like that or something
327
00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:22,530
similar to that but these dynamic poses are just going to make your character designs look that much
328
00:23:22,530 --> 00:23:22,860
better.
329
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,600
So this is something that's very important.
330
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,040
I really want you to pay attention to it.
331
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,930
I'm sorry if dynamics are kind of boring to you but just trust me.
332
00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:36,120
If you practice them and you start to understand them it'll all payoff and you'll have a chance to practice
333
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:37,140
them Don't worry.
334
00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:37,450
All right.
335
00:23:37,530 --> 00:23:39,350
I'll see you in the next lecture.
