00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:04,320
Welcome to this section of the course where we're going to be learning how to draw different styles
2
00:00:04,590 --> 00:00:05,670
of character design.
3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:11,970
Now we can't cover everything we can't cover every style and we can't cover every aspect of every style.
4
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:18,180
So I'm going to break it down into some sort of broad areas of character design and then we're gonna
5
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,860
break those down and kind of figure out what it is about that style.
6
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:24,430
For example manga which we're gonna learn in this lecture.
7
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:27,410
And what makes it look like that style.
8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,620
There obviously are tons of variations and you can change things and there's not really rules when it
9
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:36,500
comes to character design or styles but we're just going to kind of learn a little bit about each one.
10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,220
So let's go ahead and begin.
11
00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:42,480
So the first one manga like I said and we're going to start off with is we're going to start off learning
12
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,150
kind of how to draw a manga or an anime styled eye.
13
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:53,370
And so like I said there's different styles within a genre and so we can change things however we want
14
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:59,970
but one of the main things that you'll find in anime styled eyes is that they have very big reflections
15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,280
and multiple reflections on.
16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,100
So what do we mean by this.
17
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:04,140
Well let's go ahead and let's draw an eye.
18
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:14,670
So go ahead start but just kind of sketch you know sort of around shape like this and that's going to
19
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:17,120
represent our top eyelid.
20
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:18,350
Go ahead and do the bottom one.
21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,770
So we're just kind of be like this
22
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:23,460
right.
23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,690
And then what we can do is we can go ahead and kind of draw the rest of the eye.
24
00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:39,930
So that's kind of eyelash and kind of come down like this.
25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,550
Now this is another thing when it comes to anime.
26
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:43,390
It's pretty important.
27
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:46,700
The line quality that you use so to paint on what you're doing.
28
00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:49,460
You don't want the line to either be thicker or thinner.
29
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:54,250
If you study anime you'll notice that that's something that kind of comes up a lot.
30
00:01:54,990 --> 00:02:00,060
Right then I'll go ahead and kind of sketch out the top eyelash So like right here the eyelash is going
31
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:00,720
to be very thick.
32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,300
We'll fill this in dark here in a second
33
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,310
something like that.
34
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:11,900
Perfect.
35
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:15,650
Then when it comes to the IRS let's go ahead and let's sketch that in.
36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,520
So because I'm doing digital I can just kind of sketch in a circle like this.
37
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:23,240
Woops we got a little bit more circular
38
00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:39,620
then we'll go ahead and we'll draw and the IRS or the pupil I mean there's our pupil then what we want
39
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:44,140
to do is we want to add some reflections so we can do these whatever shape we want.
40
00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:45,950
In this case let's just do some circles.
41
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:48,170
Keep it nice and simple.
42
00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:52,850
And another thing is if you can have a reflection kind of hanging over the edge of the IRS that kind
43
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:55,310
of really sells the fact that this is
44
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,420
a reflection.
45
00:03:02,430 --> 00:03:03,620
All right great.
46
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:06,320
And you'll also notice that these reflections have dark lines around it.
47
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:11,220
This is also pretty important part when it comes to the reflections in an anime styled character is
48
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:15,420
that they everything is kind of outlined with a dark line usually.
49
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:20,310
And again just keep in mind that these are all sort of guidelines these aren't rules you have to follow
50
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:24,430
in order to draw anime just trying to give you a taste of it.
51
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:26,150
All right.
52
00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:29,890
Next is we're gonna have this dark sort of ring around the IRS
53
00:03:54,870 --> 00:04:00,890
something like that and then let's go ahead Let's sketch in some are actually we can go ahead and darken
54
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:02,200
in the pupil.
55
00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:04,360
So that's kind of what the IRS looks like.
56
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:09,320
And again this can change you can make the IRS bigger you can make the pupil smaller bigger whatever
57
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,870
you want to do.
58
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,440
Definitely look at a lot of anime.
59
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:16,600
If you're interested in drawing anime look at a lot of it study it.
60
00:04:16,730 --> 00:04:21,860
Go ahead draw some eyelashes in so typically the eyelashes and anime they're pretty thick so they kind
61
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:28,110
of just come off as their own separate sort of curved spike right
62
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:42,290
and them all get a little bit of eyelid.
63
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:49,010
So go ahead and kind of sketch in a slight line like that for the island.
64
00:04:49,810 --> 00:05:48,120
Then we can go ahead and fill this in.
65
00:05:48,250 --> 00:05:49,700
All right great.
66
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:54,760
So I'm actually going at your races and I'll ask them to curve that out a bit more
67
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:11,210
then we can go ahead and kind of thicken up and darken up this bottom eyelash like that and you'll see
68
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:15,530
that the lines very often will kind of taper off at the ends.
69
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,530
Go ahead and add a few eyelashes to that
70
00:06:20,210 --> 00:06:21,160
maybe like three
71
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,410
maybe I'll clean some these lines up make them a little bit more smooth.
72
00:06:35,470 --> 00:06:35,710
All right.
73
00:06:35,710 --> 00:06:37,520
That looks pretty good.
74
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,910
And then what we can do is we can go ahead and shade this in.
75
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:46,510
So go ahead if you're using paper and pencil you can just shade it like you normally would.
76
00:06:46,510 --> 00:06:53,230
Since I'm doing digital what I'll do is I'll bring down my opacity and I'll basically just kind of fill
77
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:54,400
the Iverson
78
00:06:57,090 --> 00:06:57,720
like this
79
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:08,040
and then I'll just kind of layer that in a little bit.
80
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:18,050
And you could use a softer edge brush or blended in smoother than this but I'm using a hard edge brush
81
00:07:18,050 --> 00:07:18,370
right now.
82
00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:20,890
So just kind of keep it like this.
83
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:27,260
All right.
84
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:27,560
Great.
85
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:32,020
So there's kind of a a rough idea of how to draw an enemy eye.
86
00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:34,730
And again the shapes can be completely different.
87
00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:39,340
So for example let's say we're drawing a male eye or something like that.
88
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,900
It might be something a little bit more like this might kind of get more of a pointy shape on the bottom
89
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,910
maybe more of a straight shape like that right.
90
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,800
And you get the IRS the pupil.
91
00:07:55,860 --> 00:07:57,070
This is an angry guy
92
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,490
and so that would be a different shape but probably so on apply the reflections into it to make it look
93
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:13,090
a little bit more anime so let's go ahead.
94
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,390
All right so kind of a dot right here.
95
00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:23,220
You put one there put one here
96
00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:29,620
then you can just kind of go ahead and shade that in.
97
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:47,200
So you use a different brush this time.
98
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,880
Some like that.
99
00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:49,130
All right
100
00:08:55,770 --> 00:08:56,070
all right.
101
00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:58,410
So let's just kind of an example of another shape.
102
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:02,490
But the main thing I'm trying to drive home is that basically you kind of get these dark lines for the
103
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:08,520
eyelashes around it sometimes you can draw the individual eyelashes coming off and then the the main
104
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,740
thing that I'm trying to drive home is the fact that basically animal usually has these really big circles
105
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:17,750
or squares of of a white shape as the reflection in the eyes.
106
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,760
So like right here for example and we really want to add those in to give it kind of the anime look.
107
00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:26,540
All right let's go ahead and let's talk about drawing the nose.
108
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:30,460
So when it comes to drawing anime noses they're very simplified.
109
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:36,750
So anime is a very simplified style it kind of follows real human proportions but the style is very
110
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:37,320
simplified.
111
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:41,970
So for example if you're drawing somebody at kind of three quarters you their nose might look something
112
00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:45,630
kind of like this right.
113
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,650
It can be as simple as that.
114
00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:50,740
Maybe you'll have a little point like this.
115
00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:52,190
All right.
116
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:57,130
Incredibly simple just kind of an upside down 7 sometimes.
117
00:09:57,790 --> 00:10:02,800
And sometimes it's just as simple as like one little line like that other times you'll kind of get a
118
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,810
nose that looks kind of like this.
119
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,550
If you're looking straight on at them
120
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:15,030
and then you'll kind of get something going on like this right.
121
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:18,860
That might look kind of weird but when we draw like a full face you'll kind of see what I'm talking
122
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:19,410
about.
123
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:24,440
Basically the nose is just gonna be super simple incredibly simple little shapes.
124
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:24,650
All right.
125
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:29,450
And then when it comes to the mouth basically what you want to do is you want to switch over to my other
126
00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:32,260
hard edge brush because I do look better when you're drawing the mouth.
127
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:37,790
You basically want to kind of draw out the crease between the lips
128
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,050
and maybe I'll draw that a little bit larger
129
00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:55,890
so you can just go ahead and draw out the crease between the lips so for drawing some lips straight
130
00:10:55,890 --> 00:10:59,250
on it might look something like this right.
131
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:06,150
And then you'll just darken in the upper lip you just kind of draw these two little points like that
132
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,860
darken it in
133
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:15,660
and then for the bottom line.
134
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:21,510
You just kind of give the impression that there's a bottom lip there by doing kind of a little line
135
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,050
like that
136
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:27,130
something like that.
137
00:11:27,130 --> 00:11:30,820
If we're drawing this more three quarters you might look something more like this.
138
00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:32,890
So you just basically draw
139
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:39,660
the crease of the mouth like that
140
00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:46,210
draw your upper lip
141
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,670
just super simplified.
142
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:58,000
Right.
143
00:11:58,990 --> 00:12:03,820
So we're just kind of taking out all the detail and we're kind of just leaving the contrasting shadows
144
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:05,650
and highlights.
145
00:12:05,830 --> 00:12:12,400
Now as far as the torso goes for anime character design you're usually going to have a pretty realistic
146
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,420
looking bodies and torsos and stuff like that.
147
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:21,040
Sometimes things will be over simplified so like the fingers might kind of be over simplified.
148
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,740
You might not put every single ridge into that but we could just do a quick breakdown of the torso so
149
00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:29,050
let's try like a female torso for example.
150
00:12:29,050 --> 00:12:33,450
So we could start with something like an oval for the rib cage.
151
00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:34,260
Right.
152
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:37,210
And maybe we'll kind of angle this a little bit
153
00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:41,360
so there's a rib cage
154
00:12:43,770 --> 00:12:44,640
shoulders
155
00:12:47,460 --> 00:12:52,820
through a bowl to kind of represent the waist and then we'll do an oval
156
00:12:58,090 --> 00:12:58,840
for the hips
157
00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:12,300
and then we can kind of just slice off these edges like that
158
00:13:15,450 --> 00:13:19,270
that we're going to get kind of these round half spheres coming off like that
159
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:23,900
right.
160
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,880
And you'll see that this access line is kind of angled like that.
161
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,110
That one's angled like that's the shoulders are kind of angled that way the hips are angled that way
162
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:43,310
just to give some a little bit of a more dynamic look and kind of angle the face more like this.
163
00:13:43,330 --> 00:13:43,820
All right.
164
00:13:43,830 --> 00:13:48,810
And that's kind of what we want to do with the arms.
165
00:13:48,810 --> 00:13:50,920
Maybe we'll just leave the arms out for now.
166
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Let's just kind of focus on the torso.
167
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,810
So we kind of got this going on and then coming off these two kind of half spheres down here down by
168
00:13:58,770 --> 00:14:03,870
the legs you basically just kind of have the legs kind of pop off that you want to pay attention to
169
00:14:03,870 --> 00:14:07,320
how big the thigh gap is because the thigh gap is too big.
170
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,120
It's gonna look a little bit weird
171
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:16,640
right.
172
00:14:16,650 --> 00:14:22,570
So something like this and that kind of gives you some more width to your hips just good because you
173
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:25,250
want your hips to be wider
174
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:36,640
than for the breast we can go ahead and you kind of just do that heart shape
175
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:50,480
for females are gonna get a pretty thin neck.
176
00:14:51,450 --> 00:14:55,930
And again all this can change from character character even though it's anime there's not really an
177
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:57,410
exact formula.
178
00:14:57,550 --> 00:14:59,950
This is just kind of a body type that you can draw.
179
00:14:59,950 --> 00:15:04,150
All right let's go ahead and switch over to black and we can begin drawing this now.
180
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:13,420
So let's see go undisturbed by drawing in the belly button instead of drawing this neck
181
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,880
drawing my shoulders
182
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:28,190
now because this arm right here is kind of stretching upwards that I mean that would get a little bit
183
00:15:28,190 --> 00:15:34,370
more stretch and those muscles so like the Pack would kind of stretch up like this we can go ahead and
184
00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:39,330
raise some of this in a second if it's too much detail and that in turn.
185
00:15:39,340 --> 00:16:09,210
But kind of stretch out the breast.
186
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:10,390
So penetrate there
187
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,500
from what I've seen in enemy characters tend to be a little bit more slender.
188
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,690
So you want to kind of try to capture that slender aspect to them
189
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:51,350
right.
190
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:54,370
So that's kind of a generic anime body.
191
00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:57,830
And obviously there's all kinds of different things you could do if you wanted to you could kind of
192
00:16:57,830 --> 00:17:04,820
make those hips even wider make the thighs even thicker.
193
00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:06,460
All right.
194
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,370
You can make the breasts even larger
195
00:17:12,570 --> 00:17:14,000
down further and just be bigger
196
00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:27,870
right.
197
00:17:27,870 --> 00:17:33,020
So all this is really just up to you and your style preference.
198
00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:36,340
Definitely look at a lot of art in whatever style it is that you're trying to learn.
199
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,410
Because I will kind of give you a good idea of what it is that you like and that you want to try to
200
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:41,720
create.
201
00:17:41,730 --> 00:17:44,820
Now let's go ahead and let's give it a shot.
202
00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:48,480
Let's try drawing some anime people.
203
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,930
So go and turn that layer off.
204
00:17:51,210 --> 00:17:55,990
So when we're drawing anime heads we basically want to kind of start off with a Loomis head.
205
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,590
Like I said anime styled artwork generally kind of follows realistic human proportions.
206
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:06,330
There's some slight exaggerations and things are off by a little bit but it's not like something like
207
00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:09,930
Pixar where things are like somebodies head is just like a square.
208
00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:12,600
So let's go ahead and let's give this a shot.
209
00:18:12,820 --> 00:18:14,490
So going to start off by drawing
210
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,570
circle like that and while Amanda will go ahead drawing over here we're going to try drawing a male
211
00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:27,230
character as well.
212
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,180
Now let's go ahead and what we want to do is we want to find that center line.
213
00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:34,430
So go ahead put that center line right about there.
214
00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:41,000
This will be kind of a three quarters view and be a little bit of a Down view as well so kind of make
215
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,280
it like that.
216
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,390
We'll go ahead and slice off the edge of the head like this
217
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,510
and then we can go ahead and draw that eyeline so it can be right about in the center here.
218
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:12,540
So when we draw the Loomis head typically this line represents where the eyebrow is going to go.
219
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:15,900
But when we're drawing animate that's actually gonna represent the top of the island.
220
00:19:15,910 --> 00:19:20,020
The eyebrows will be above that and actually that will be the eyebrow outline.
221
00:19:20,110 --> 00:19:20,860
I apologize.
222
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:25,750
So that will be about the eyebrow line the eyes go below that because like I said it basically follows
223
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:27,400
realistic human proportions.
224
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,420
Sometimes the fore head is a little bit bigger on our anime characters so that's something to think
225
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:32,800
about as well.
226
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,800
The ear will go somewhere back here on that bottom quarter of this cross
227
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,780
that we can go ahead and neck in there
228
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:56,520
need to add a little bit more curve to this line because the way I have it right now isn't really showing
229
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,580
kind of that down view that I want to capture
230
00:20:07,630 --> 00:20:09,130
and go in and sketch that neck in.
231
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,600
So it's just basically simple Loomis head and I'll go ahead and kind of sketch it down like this since
232
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,990
this is a down shot we'll kind of be seeing a little bit more of a down shot of the shoulder
233
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:25,020
in the back.
234
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:26,640
See this other shoulder a little bit
235
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:40,490
all right.
236
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,200
Something like that.
237
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,920
And then from here we can go ahead let's add a little bit more detail so that's kind of our first rough
238
00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:48,910
kind of block out where the head is going to be and everything for a second rough.
239
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Let's go ahead and kind of sketch out where everything is going to go so let's see.
240
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:00,290
So let's put the nose a little bit further down so kind of at the bottom of this circle like that and
241
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:08,860
it's just going to kind of be it's going to come off like this and it will come back up to the eyebrow
242
00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:09,150
line.
243
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,500
So if you remember that's our eyebrow line
244
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:20,360
and when to come back and darken Alderson with some black here in a second.
245
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:24,940
Then for the lips I just kind of do an angled line like that another angled line to represent the other
246
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:32,570
point on the lip bring that back to your bottom.
247
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,120
Let's go ahead and do the profile of her head so her four heads don't come down like this.
248
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:42,350
Just kind of follow that roundness and then as it comes into this I it's going to England like that
249
00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:44,660
and then it'll kind of go back out.
250
00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:50,710
So we kind of get that divot there in the eye and then it kind of pops out right here for the cheek
251
00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:58,040
and then kind of goes back in and let's give her kind of a point to your chin and let's kind of soften
252
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:09,600
up this John move it in a little bit more like that right as were the eyes typically on manga and anime
253
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,480
style characters the eyes are gonna be more enlarged.
254
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:17,130
So what we can do is let's go ahead and start by kind of doing this round shape like this
255
00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:25,990
and that's because if we were to imagine the island would be going over it like that kind of but the
256
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,310
eyeball is a ball inside the head like that and then the eyelid goes on top of that.
257
00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:33,640
So that's kind of why we're drawing that curved line right here to represent the eye.
258
00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:35,710
And then we can kind of decide where we want
259
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,160
the eyelid.
260
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:45,050
The top eyelid to go over here if you can imagine the skull had like a hole like that in it.
261
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:50,280
So the eye needs to kind of be you over here that needs to be minimal space in that area right there.
262
00:22:50,290 --> 00:22:53,980
There still needs to be some space but you don't want to have a huge space like that.
263
00:22:54,010 --> 00:22:55,610
That's not accurate.
264
00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:59,350
So the eye can kind of start somewhere right about here
265
00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:07,320
the start of the curved line like that.
266
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:11,010
That we'll do a line that kind of goes down like that because we're seeing this at a three quarters
267
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:11,190
view.
268
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:13,020
That's going to be a little bit steeper of a line
269
00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:23,010
and that's for the eyebrows you can go ahead and just kind of do this.
270
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:27,960
So we kind of draw these out like that coming out the corners of the eyes and then a little bit above
271
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,610
that kind of following the eyebrow line and we kind of follow a curve like that do the same thing over
272
00:23:32,610 --> 00:23:33,180
here.
273
00:23:33,180 --> 00:23:37,200
This will be a little bit more understandable once you start darkening in things.
274
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,750
Then let's go ahead and we can add her irises
275
00:23:44,530 --> 00:23:53,480
we put one like that and the other one like that looks pretty good.
276
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:56,990
And she has a little bit of a bigger forehand that's all right.
277
00:23:56,990 --> 00:23:59,780
That's what we're kind of looking for with this anime style.
278
00:23:59,780 --> 00:24:04,060
So a little bit more accurate to the real human form.
279
00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:09,050
Go ahead and kind of thin her neck out a little bit because I think it's looking a little bit too thick
280
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:26,110
and this is the best face to really make changes like that because it can be so easy.
281
00:24:26,150 --> 00:24:27,980
Go ahead make her back a little bit thinner
282
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:41,510
and we can go ahead and roughly sketch out some hair as well so many give her some bangs so the bangs
283
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:44,050
are just going to kind of hang down across like this.
284
00:24:44,180 --> 00:24:46,910
We'll give him some volume we'll bring them kind of up and off the head
285
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:10,190
and then I'm gonna bring some hair coming down kind of like this strands of hair that's another thing
286
00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:19,160
that I see a lot and good anime style drawings is that they have a lot of wispy hairs and so if you
287
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,330
can kind of involve some wispy hairs that can look pretty good.
288
00:25:30,290 --> 00:25:37,640
Then we'll have here's kind of the direction of her bangs will have her hair kind of running back like
289
00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:44,950
this into kind of a rounded cone shape so it come off right off the back of her head like this you could
290
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:46,930
kind of think of it as an egg shape.
291
00:25:46,930 --> 00:25:51,670
Let's go ahead and put one on there like that.
292
00:25:57,370 --> 00:25:57,510
Right.
293
00:25:57,790 --> 00:25:59,850
Great.
294
00:25:59,890 --> 00:26:04,930
So now what we can do is let's go ahead and let's go in there and let's start detailing this out switch
295
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:06,070
over to my black.
296
00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:07,750
And let's begin.
297
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,920
So if I zoom in here we can go ahead and start detailing out the eyes.
298
00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:18,250
So just gonna go ahead and start by kind of outlining the shape of my eyelids
299
00:26:30,830 --> 00:26:33,590
and then we can go ahead and kind of sketch out what we want.
300
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:37,520
The eyelashes that look like so low just kind of come off like this
301
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:41,930
all right.
302
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,850
And just keep it simple I'll just do three
303
00:26:49,790 --> 00:26:51,100
go ahead and add an eyelid
304
00:26:54,170 --> 00:26:54,460
again.
305
00:26:54,460 --> 00:26:56,690
You want to pay attention to the thickness of your line.
306
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,460
So for example here I just want to keep that kind of thing.
307
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:02,920
Or if you're drawn with paper and pencil it might be easier to just kind of make that lighter rather
308
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,820
than thinner.
309
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:07,690
Can go ahead and do the IRS
310
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,590
to the pupil
311
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Go ahead take my razor.
312
00:27:31,310 --> 00:27:35,090
And you race out a highlight and we need to decide where we want it to be I'm going to put it down here
313
00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:35,850
at the bottom.
314
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:41,570
Make that and for this let's just do one reflection
315
00:27:47,330 --> 00:27:51,820
right Perfect let's go ahead move on to the bottom eyelid
316
00:27:59,050 --> 00:28:01,090
first what kind of defined where we want that to be
317
00:28:12,270 --> 00:28:18,480
then we go ahead and add the eyebrows Soto kind of just follow that line right there from this sort
318
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:28,040
of eyebrow guy that we drew so we keep our eyebrows priest thin and they'll just kind of taper off at
319
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,490
the end
320
00:28:37,820 --> 00:28:38,410
this side.
321
00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:41,200
Let's go ahead just do these eyebrows really quick.
322
00:28:41,410 --> 00:28:54,140
Let's get a little bit more arch in there.
323
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:54,490
Great.
324
00:28:54,490 --> 00:28:55,390
That looks pretty good.
325
00:28:55,390 --> 00:29:00,750
Let's move on to the other ISO for the other eye we can go ahead and kind of sketch out
326
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,940
top eyelash sticking that up
327
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,430
during I would
328
00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:31,560
give her bottom eyelid
329
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:45,240
I can also add some bottom eyelashes to something like that.
330
00:29:47,490 --> 00:29:49,800
Maybe I'll go in there and I'll kind of control those a little bit more.
331
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200
I'll bring my size down
332
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,570
and let's go ahead and do the IRS over here
333
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,970
so you notice that this IRS because of the angle we're looking at it it kind of gets squashed into an
334
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:34,080
oval the more you draw faces the more you'll start to pick things like this up just drawing this one
335
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,180
drawing with me right here you'll probably actually pick that up and kind of carry it with you through
336
00:30:39,210 --> 00:30:40,530
all of your character designs.
337
00:30:40,530 --> 00:30:44,160
So when you draw some data three quarters you'll kind of have a better understanding of what the eyes
338
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:51,610
look like from that angle right seem to clean this up a little bit more.
339
00:30:51,690 --> 00:30:57,140
Now let's go ahead take a racer you're a set of reflection.
340
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:01,480
Get a nice dark outline around that.
341
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:02,370
Go ahead and zoom out.
342
00:31:02,370 --> 00:31:04,290
See how this looks.
343
00:31:04,310 --> 00:31:05,130
She's a pretty good
344
00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:13,510
sticking up these eyelashes a little bit more
345
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:32,160
all right.
346
00:31:32,170 --> 00:31:36,500
Then for the nose let's go ahead and just kind of sketch out something simple.
347
00:31:36,790 --> 00:31:41,750
Keep my lines pretty thin over here do a little line like that.
348
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:45,310
A little line like this for the nose.
349
00:31:45,310 --> 00:31:46,370
And then for the lips.
350
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:48,040
Go ahead and sketch in the lips.
351
00:31:48,130 --> 00:31:52,540
So we'll start by kind of drawing in those peaks that we get there.
352
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,490
Now the edge of the lips unless you wanted your character to have bigger lips you typically don't want
353
00:31:57,490 --> 00:31:59,050
them to go past the.
354
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,710
If somebody is looking straightforward kind of like she is you wouldn't want them to go past the pupils.
355
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,460
So some are right about there is where we would want them to stop.
356
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:11,650
So go ahead bring my lips to write about their
357
00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:24,950
so I'm just kind of taking that basic shape of the upper lip outlining it and then filling it in with
358
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:25,400
black
359
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:30,980
then for the bottom lip.
360
00:32:31,010 --> 00:32:39,890
We can go ahead just kind of sketch out that dark little line and that kind of indicates sort of the
361
00:32:39,890 --> 00:32:44,820
roundness of the bottom lip like that.
362
00:32:44,860 --> 00:32:46,160
Great.
363
00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:51,140
Now looking at this I think that this eyelash up here on the right needs to be a little bit thicker
364
00:32:51,170 --> 00:32:55,180
a little bit darker so it's more noticeable.
365
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,050
OK.
366
00:32:58,050 --> 00:33:05,040
Let's see next let's go ahead to work on the outside edge of her face so I can go and sketch out a line
367
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,700
like this
368
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:11,110
and sketch out her cheek
369
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:28,600
so you get that cheek that bumps out curves back into the chin ever kind of a point chin
370
00:33:38,740 --> 00:33:40,880
that'll run right up into her ear.
371
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,550
So let's go ahead and do her ear
372
00:33:49,430 --> 00:33:54,750
so her ear is going to look pretty realistic to an actual ear kind of get this part that wraps around
373
00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:55,580
here.
374
00:33:55,630 --> 00:33:57,200
What kind of end there.
375
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,730
And then we get kind of that Y shape that goes up into the ear but I'm not going to go into a whole
376
00:34:07,790 --> 00:34:10,390
bunch of detail with that just kind of leave it like that.
377
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,500
So kind of a simplified realistic ear
378
00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:22,890
you could try some other things you could try adding some eyelashes out your these edges and if it doesn't
379
00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:25,710
work you can always just a reset or start over again
380
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,080
maybe you could try thickening these eyebrows up a little bit
381
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,720
I think I kind of like that better
382
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:47,840
and this is just one style.
383
00:34:47,850 --> 00:34:50,700
If you wanted to you could probably enlarge her eyes a little bit.
384
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:51,860
It's really up to you.
385
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,710
I want to see what that looks like just because I'm working in Photoshop it's kind of a simple thing
386
00:34:55,710 --> 00:35:05,950
I can do in here.
387
00:35:06,350 --> 00:35:09,470
So that looks that looks pretty cool.
388
00:35:09,490 --> 00:35:14,910
I'll go and try doing that to the other one as well program have to readjust some of this a little bit
389
00:35:26,430 --> 00:35:30,350
I'm going to go back in there and kind of cleanup her eyelashes because it kind of got messed up when
390
00:35:30,350 --> 00:35:30,890
I did that
391
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:43,590
all right.
392
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,590
So that's kind of cool looking.
393
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:48,610
Let's go ahead and do her for head now.
394
00:35:48,610 --> 00:35:56,650
So her hair is coming from up here so let's just kind of do some nice little fine lines coming down
395
00:35:56,650 --> 00:35:57,310
like this
396
00:36:08,970 --> 00:36:15,050
and we could try doing kind of a zigzag line across the front like that kind of some straight lines
397
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:21,550
coming across the front here maybe kind of a split in the bangs right there and maybe another one right
398
00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:22,030
here
399
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:31,620
we can use our razor as well to kind of race out some of those splits in the bangs.
400
00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:32,640
That's pretty good looking
401
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:44,370
then we can go ahead and sketch out these sort of wisps of hair that are coming down right here I might
402
00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:48,760
take you a few tries to really get those looking good
403
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:11,230
you can use your razor and reset where the jaw is
404
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:21,960
and we get the back of the hair going like this
405
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,450
you try to really work that curve there.
406
00:37:33,450 --> 00:37:34,070
There we go.
407
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:41,590
Not just kind of runs off to this point right here you can just kind of sketch in the direction of that
408
00:37:41,590 --> 00:37:42,070
hair
409
00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:59,200
again and just kind of sketch in these sort of squiggly lines to indicate kind of some shine to the
410
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,560
hair
411
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,740
that direction in there and add some splits into the hair by drawing lines from either side that kind
412
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:24,440
of and halfway through let's go ahead and try sketching and kind of showing wiggle
413
00:38:27,610 --> 00:38:30,380
I'm gonna leave it off that part actually I think it'll look better without it.
414
00:38:31,250 --> 00:38:33,350
Let's go ahead and do her neck
415
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:51,750
at it's pretty good it's good and turn off are under drawing.
416
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:55,840
See that looks all right.
417
00:38:55,850 --> 00:38:58,010
I think that looks pretty decent.
418
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,930
Now obviously this could be reworked a little bit more.
419
00:39:01,430 --> 00:39:03,410
Maybe her eyes being so large.
420
00:39:03,410 --> 00:39:05,020
Wasn't the best choice.
421
00:39:05,090 --> 00:39:09,940
It looks OK and I also just erase the nose down a little bit just to make it a little bit smaller.
422
00:39:09,940 --> 00:39:15,770
I think I was looking a little bit too big but this is kind of looking like the style of manga but it's
423
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:17,740
not perfect.
424
00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:21,520
A lot of the times in your designing characters you can't just draw character perfectly the first time.
425
00:39:21,530 --> 00:39:26,780
So it takes a lot of working things out and figuring things out and playing with proportions and stuff
426
00:39:26,780 --> 00:39:28,720
to figure out what you want your character to look like.
427
00:39:28,970 --> 00:39:33,300
But this would definitely fall into kind of style of manga or anime.
428
00:39:33,470 --> 00:39:38,900
So let's go ahead and shade in her eyes so you go ahead and bring my brush opacity down
429
00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:44,310
and I'll switch over to something that I can blend with a little bit better
430
00:40:17,850 --> 00:40:20,570
let's go ahead zoom out see how that looks right that looks pretty good.
431
00:40:22,780 --> 00:40:25,460
OK let's go ahead and let's try one more example.
432
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:32,680
I want to go through this kind of quickly and just so you can kind of see it faster but so let's say
433
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:38,110
we're doing a guy go ahead and just start off with that Loomis head just keeping it nice and simple.
434
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,160
There's our eyebrow line
435
00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:56,440
is our jaw line hairline probably somewhere up there but we can change that nose.
436
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,000
All right
437
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,630
we can go ahead and just kind of sketch in our characters eyes so the eyes will be probably some write
438
00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:06,070
about down here.
439
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:09,130
So just gonna do a line across like this and like this
440
00:41:13,350 --> 00:41:15,570
just kind gonna do triangles like that.
441
00:41:15,650 --> 00:41:17,210
We'll see how this looks.
442
00:41:17,210 --> 00:41:21,770
I'm just kind of drawing this and design it on the spot so I can always promise that things will look
443
00:41:21,830 --> 00:41:29,070
amazing but we can at least create something that looks kind of anime actually this eye is too close.
444
00:41:29,070 --> 00:41:31,020
So what I'll do is I'll go ahead and move that back
445
00:41:33,820 --> 00:41:40,790
a little bit closer over there there in curves sketch out a mouth like this is super simple line all
446
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:41,450
right.
447
00:41:44,570 --> 00:41:45,290
Let's see
448
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:55,610
think of this I actually kind of needs be moved over a little bit more like that
449
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:16,170
make the jaw a little bit more square and ear movements.
450
00:42:16,330 --> 00:42:17,890
Decide what we want his hair to look like.
451
00:42:17,890 --> 00:42:22,530
I'm just gonna have a sideburns like that kind of curve up like this.
452
00:42:50,220 --> 00:42:50,700
Neck
453
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,240
let's go ahead and switch over to Black.
454
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:01,140
We can go ahead and start solidifying some of these details so just make this kind of a quick simple
455
00:43:01,140 --> 00:43:01,600
one.
456
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,750
The last one took quite a while but go ahead.
457
00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:06,630
Just add in some
458
00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:13,460
sort of a top load slash eyelashes for the eyes
459
00:43:38,670 --> 00:43:39,600
then for the eyebrows.
460
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,600
I just kind of make them kind of square thick I'm up a little bit.
461
00:43:44,650 --> 00:43:45,850
It'll make them sicker than that.
462
00:43:59,390 --> 00:44:01,470
Then we get the kind of cheek that comes out like that.
463
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:04,370
It comes in for the chin.
464
00:44:10,380 --> 00:44:14,480
To a super simple line like that let's move that out a little bit a little bit up as well
465
00:44:18,290 --> 00:44:22,900
there's nose to the mouth of the mouth up a little bit as well to
466
00:44:58,260 --> 00:45:05,260
and these eyes are looking a little bit not so anime so that we could try playing with them a little
467
00:45:05,260 --> 00:45:05,770
bit more
468
00:45:09,110 --> 00:45:11,570
that's gonna make them look like kind of a dark character
469
00:45:36,310 --> 00:45:45,120
all right I want to turn out Logan to anime kind of whip that one out real fast but it looks close enough.
470
00:45:45,230 --> 00:45:49,520
You should be getting the idea that basically the things you're looking for with animators are trying
471
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:54,740
to simplify things like the nose so we're just super simple lines the mouth is simplified and you want
472
00:45:54,740 --> 00:46:00,380
those nice thick dark eyelashes and you also want to get those really good highlights those really bright
473
00:46:00,380 --> 00:46:04,960
reflections that have that dark outline around them in the eye and could actually add that to this guy.
474
00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:13,480
If we wanted to kind of make him look a little bit better more anime style come back over to our other
475
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:13,830
girl.
476
00:46:13,830 --> 00:46:21,220
Actually I'm going to go ahead really quick reflections usually look a lot better up here
477
00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:26,200
so go ahead and add a reflection there.
478
00:46:26,220 --> 00:46:31,070
Come back to my brush and I can sketch in a dark outline around that
479
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:49,560
perfect zoom out that looks a lot better so you can see what that reflection does.
480
00:46:49,570 --> 00:46:54,220
It really really brings it home makes it look like anime or manga but yeah.
481
00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:58,710
So there's kind of two examples of sort of that anime manga style.
482
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,380
If you have any questions about this go ahead and post into the Cuban a section of the course and if
483
00:47:02,380 --> 00:47:04,480
you really want to get good at this look at a lot of reference.
484
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:10,870
Look at a lot of other people's manga art and anime styled art and also post stuff to the Facebook group
485
00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:15,010
and ask for critiques from other students because other students were probably better than me at drawing
486
00:47:15,010 --> 00:47:15,700
manga.
487
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:20,830
I'm not a master at this by any means but I can I can kind of do it and distill it down into it's sort
488
00:47:20,830 --> 00:47:23,290
of it's simple lines and structures.
489
00:47:23,290 --> 00:47:26,340
Thanks for watching this lecture and I'll see you in the next one.
