Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:00,710
All right.
2
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:07,380
So now that we understand the basics of the human form which just basically are comprised of the form
3
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:10,830
that makes up the human form and the proportions.
4
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:15,480
Now we can really start diving in and what I want to start with is I want to start with like the very
5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,800
simple building blocks of the human form because it can be very complicated and I'm sure many of you
6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,750
have tried drawing drawing it before and you know how overwhelming it can be.
7
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:31,350
So I want to start by building up your knowledge layer by layer throughout this section of the course
8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,150
so that you can slowly gain an understanding and start building your skill set for drawing the human
9
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:36,840
form.
10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,290
So what we'll start with is the three basic fundamentals of drawing and applying that to the human form.
11
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:47,340
So the first one is the line and then we'll go over a shape and then we'll go over form.
12
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:50,610
So let's talk about how line really plays into the human form.
13
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:55,890
Well we can draw the basic human form of the pose of a human just by using some simple lines.
14
00:00:55,890 --> 00:01:00,540
Now many is a little bit of some shapes just to help us kind of represent the head and the feet and
15
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:04,250
stuff like that for the most part we just want to stick with the lines.
16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:06,710
So if we're drawing a person facing forward.
17
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:13,020
Go ahead start by drawing the head and then I'm just going to draw a center line coming down like this
18
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:22,120
generally you want this line to be about eight heads tall.
19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,260
I don't usually measure it but if if my head looks too big in the end I'll go and shrink it down or
20
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:27,850
if it looks too small and large it.
21
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:33,070
But what I'm mostly looking for is just deciding where I want my feet to be and where I want
22
00:01:36,110 --> 00:01:37,600
the top of my head to be.
23
00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:42,230
And then from there I can go and turn my paper and gauge about where you think the center of this is
24
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:46,370
because that's where my crotch of my person is going to be is right there in the center between the
25
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:48,300
feet and the top the head.
26
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:52,430
And from there I can kind of work out a line of where the bottom of the hands will be so right about
27
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:58,290
there and then let's go ahead and work out where the shoulders will be so the shoulders are going to
28
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:00,860
be just a little bit further down from the head.
29
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:04,790
It just depends on how long you want your character's neck to be.
30
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,870
And then I can go ahead and work out about halfway between the crotch and the feet which will be the
31
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,710
bottom of the kneecaps.
32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,280
All right great.
33
00:02:13,290 --> 00:02:18,210
So we lightly marked our proportions I mean dark in that just a little bit more so you guys can see
34
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:25,560
it on the camera so we drew those proportions in like the head looks like a pretty good size.
35
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:29,480
Next what we want to do is we want to decide how wide WE WANT THE SHOULDERS SO in this case it's going
36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,440
to be a male.
37
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,770
So let's go ahead make the shoulders about three heads wide so I can kind of go ahead and mark out lying
38
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:38,230
like that to see what the distance is from there to there.
39
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:40,280
I can do that again over here.
40
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,700
Now when you draw characters you don't have to do this every time.
41
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:47,390
I just want you to walk through this with me so you can really start remembering what portions of the
42
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:49,170
human body are.
43
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,510
All right.
44
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,990
So the shoulders will be back wide.
45
00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:56,030
So from that point to that point from there we can start building off the arms.
46
00:02:56,030 --> 00:02:59,370
So if you remember our hands will end a little bit further down from the crowd.
47
00:02:59,390 --> 00:03:03,320
So there is a crotch line and then we drew this line to signify where the bottom of the hands will be
48
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:10,500
so I'm just gonna go ahead and kind of sketch in just kind of some rounded triangle shapes kind of like
49
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:16,740
that and they'll just be a little bit further out this direction from the shoulders in the other direction
50
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:19,000
for the other hand.
51
00:03:19,170 --> 00:03:24,050
It's just something like that and maybe we'll come back enlarges a little bit next.
52
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:26,000
Let's go ahead and draw the lines in for the arm.
53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,820
So for the arms we could draw a line just simple lines like this right.
54
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:35,870
And I know those are really light might be hard for you to see but it's because I want to I'm about
55
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:38,850
to race and I'm sure you would definitely to draw them.
56
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:42,740
So this is not I didn't learn this or figure this out myself.
57
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:45,160
I learned this from the youtube channel spycraft.
58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,870
And many of you have might have seen it.
59
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,380
So I'm not going to take any credit for this but he has a way of drawing arms and legs when you're just
60
00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:58,390
thinking of it in simple line ways which is where you draw I'm kind of like lightning bull.
61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,420
So the first line is going to be carried out this way and this will represent the shoulder then the
62
00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:11,490
next one kind of zigzags back in like this and that's going to make the divide between the shoulder
63
00:04:11,490 --> 00:04:13,110
muscle and the biceps.
64
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,750
And then you draw the biceps and by drawing a curved line coming down like this and you want this to
65
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:23,940
basically end about where the elbow will be and if you remember between the shoulder and the middle
66
00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:28,740
of this arms section so minus the hands starting at the wrist up to the shoulder we want to divide that
67
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:34,470
in half and that's where elbow will be about and then we're gonna go ahead and kind of this is exact
68
00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:39,350
that back in and then do a curved line like this for the fore arm.
69
00:04:39,450 --> 00:04:40,890
Right.
70
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:45,780
So just a simple line like that and you'll see later how will develop that into the actual forearm the
71
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:47,420
biceps and the shoulder.
72
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:47,860
All right great.
73
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,860
Then we can go ahead and it's dark in the shoulders kind of give it a little bit of a curve.
74
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,880
We're going to do the same thing on the other side.
75
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,480
Now you'll notice that the shoulder is gonna be short.
76
00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:02,010
So it might even be shorter than I'm drawing it here just depends on how long you want that shoulder
77
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,230
muscle to be.
78
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,470
Then the biceps will be a little short as well.
79
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:10,800
Usually will be a little bit longer than the shoulder muscle but then the forearm is going to be the
80
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,200
longest curved line.
81
00:05:12,210 --> 00:05:13,150
So like that.
82
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:16,530
So it's short short long.
83
00:05:17,370 --> 00:05:20,000
So just keep that in mind when you're drawing these.
84
00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:26,760
Now we can go ahead and darken in that head and you can see it better than we have the center line which
85
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,330
this line is actually basically our line of action.
86
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:32,820
Now our character's not really moving they're just standing stagnant right now.
87
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:36,780
So that's why we're not seeing a very dynamic line of action but this would basically be your line of
88
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:40,380
action just this line going straight through your character.
89
00:05:40,410 --> 00:05:40,650
All right.
90
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:42,530
Then we can bring that down to the crotch.
91
00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:47,250
And then what I'll do is I'm gonna go hand draw kind of a curved line like this to represent my hips
92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,100
so the hips should be just a little bit less wide than the shoulders because this is a male and if you
93
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:01,560
remember we want our males to have kind of a trapezoid basic shape like that so broad shoulders smaller
94
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,110
waist for doing a female would be the opposite we'd want more narrow shoulders and we would want these
95
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:10,640
hips to be a little bit wider than the shoulders.
96
00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:10,860
All right.
97
00:06:10,890 --> 00:06:14,370
So once we have that drawn in we can base our legs off that and suggest the same where we're just going
98
00:06:14,370 --> 00:06:18,950
to do these lightning bolt sort of designs.
99
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,630
Just keep it simple we'll just do two so one for the thigh the kneecap and then one for the calf which
100
00:06:27,630 --> 00:06:28,680
will come down like this
101
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,920
and then you can go and drawing kind of a shape like that to represent the foot.
102
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:37,940
Do the same thing on the other side.
103
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:42,800
Come back in and then the calf.
104
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,110
So basically as you can see when we draw these lightning bolt type lines to represent our arms and legs
105
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,440
were curving outwards and then inwards and then outwards.
106
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,710
So we're going back and forth from it outwards inwards outwards.
107
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:59,790
Always make sure that your lines are basically opposite of each other as you move through it.
108
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:04,720
So we can go ahead and kind of drawn a triangle type foot right there.
109
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:04,950
All right.
110
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:12,790
Great in those hands and a little bit sooner you can see that just from some simple lines and these
111
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:15,300
lines might actually come up a little bit more cause that's the bottom of the crotch.
112
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:18,080
The leg would actually travel up into the waist a little bit more.
113
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:23,110
You can see just some simple lines you get the idea of a person standing there and you can use this
114
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,810
to really block out your poses and stuff like that.
115
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,460
So let's try something else.
116
00:07:27,460 --> 00:07:31,630
I have a photograph here of a man running and what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and take this
117
00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:31,960
pose.
118
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,950
We're gonna try to redraw it in this type of a form with just lines.
119
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,560
So first let's start off with the line of action.
120
00:07:38,590 --> 00:07:42,400
So when we look at this guy you can see that scene from the top of his head running down his spine and
121
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,100
out this leg we kind of just get this curved line there.
122
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,160
So go ahead draw a kind of a curved line like this.
123
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,830
So it's not incredibly curved but it has a good amount of curve to it just like that.
124
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:58,080
Then I'm gonna go ahead and work out the top of the head in the foot.
125
00:07:58,090 --> 00:07:59,800
So in this case a foot kind of goes like that.
126
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,450
So mark that is bottom of the foot even though the toes will be touching the ground down there.
127
00:08:04,530 --> 00:08:05,020
All right.
128
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:05,580
Next.
129
00:08:05,590 --> 00:08:10,510
Let's go ahead and mark out the center so where we want to divide this in half.
130
00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:14,890
So I would say it's a little bit more complicated because it's curved but that's all right.
131
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,780
Let's go ahead and market right about there.
132
00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:22,970
So that'll be the crotch area and we can divide this into halves or divide the whole thing into quarters.
133
00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:27,060
So now this is going to make up the bottom of our kneecap.
134
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:31,060
Right next let's go ahead and let's draw our head in.
135
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:31,840
So
136
00:08:36,670 --> 00:08:39,560
we're going to kind of draw raindrop shape like this.
137
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:42,480
Now we don't wanna get too much into shapes or just trying to focus on the line for now.
138
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,560
So something like that works just fine.
139
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:50,650
Maybe you can move that Crouch up just a little bit more.
140
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:51,290
All right.
141
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,670
Great.
142
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:57,080
So this gets a little bit more complicated because not only are they in an action pose but they're we're
143
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,870
looking at a lot of different angles so we really have to think about this.
144
00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:04,070
So let's start with the shoulders.
145
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:09,200
So if we look at the shoulders you can see that he kind of has an arched line coming across like this.
146
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,210
His shoulders are about three heads wide so we're gonna go ahead draw that and try to draw it at the
147
00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:16,550
same angle with the same curve.
148
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:20,840
So ends just a little bit further out from his head from the front of his face and the shoulder kind
149
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,540
of ends a little bit further out from there.
150
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,460
So since we're kind of looking at him from a three quarters view almost a side view we're actually this
151
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:33,440
is not actually going to be a literal three heads wide shoulders.
152
00:09:33,530 --> 00:09:37,300
It's going to be squashed a little bit because if we're looking at the shoulders like this straightforward
153
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:44,690
like we are here then as it turns you can see that the distance becomes less and less long it becomes
154
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:45,410
shorter.
155
00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:47,630
So we want to make sure that we kind of take that into account here.
156
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:51,200
So we're going to draw that in next.
157
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:56,330
Let's go ahead and let's draw this arm in so looking at a shoulder you can see that we kind of get that
158
00:09:56,330 --> 00:09:59,710
line popping out right there for that part of the shoulder.
159
00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:00,980
So go and draw that in.
160
00:10:01,060 --> 00:10:04,890
So just kind of like this and then it comes back
161
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:10,460
and we get this part of the line for the biceps.
162
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:15,630
So this is the line that were drawn for the biceps right there and that was exact back in.
163
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:19,170
And actually since he's been in his elbow it's just going to kind of come out like this and they will
164
00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:23,610
draw the outside part of the forearm which kind of comes down like this
165
00:10:32,850 --> 00:10:34,390
that we can kind of just draw in
166
00:10:38,350 --> 00:10:42,760
sort of a trapezoid shape just to kind of represent the palm of the hand there but we won't get into
167
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,750
the fingers or anything right now.
168
00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:47,200
Next let's go to the other one so this one kind of.
169
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,200
So it starts going curving outwards first for the shoulder.
170
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,090
So that putt right there that's going to curve back up like this and then into the bicep.
171
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:58,350
So a curve it up like that and into the biceps
172
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,170
and because elbow is bent it gets a little bit more complicated so rather than just going back out like
173
00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:12,340
that it's actually going to come down like this.
174
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:19,380
And then just bounce back up like that so that might get a little bit complicated for you to understand
175
00:11:19,390 --> 00:11:23,310
but the more you draw from photographs and we're going to start to understand that when the elbow is
176
00:11:23,310 --> 00:11:26,120
bent you don't see it like this as much.
177
00:11:26,190 --> 00:11:31,200
You kind of lose this piece right there and it kind of just swoops from this piece into that piece.
178
00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:38,520
So that's what's going on right here that we can kind of just go ahead and draw in another trapezoid
179
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,670
to represent kind of a fist that he's making
180
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,700
it's great that we can draw on those shoulders that
181
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,140
got our line of action we'll just bring it down into the crotch area and then let's go ahead.
182
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:05,690
Kind of draw the hips so one leg isn't come off like this
183
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,720
once we get to or the neat bottom of the kneecap should be we want to make this exact shape coming back
184
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,430
up.
185
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,430
Then we draw the calf
186
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,380
that work on the side now.
187
00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:27,470
So on this side we're going to start with the top.
188
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:34,940
So right here off the top of the thigh and we want to try to mimic the length of this.
189
00:12:34,940 --> 00:12:40,040
So if we were to take our pencil for example we can market by putting the point at the kneecap and then
190
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,390
putting the other side of it there marking it with our finger.
191
00:12:42,530 --> 00:12:49,010
And if we turn that we can kind of line that up now we can see that the length of it should go to right
192
00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:50,690
about there.
193
00:12:50,690 --> 00:12:54,560
So that's a good way to just kind of gauge and make sure that you're drawing everything to the right
194
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:58,850
proportions even if you're kind of shifting things around.
195
00:12:58,860 --> 00:12:59,150
All right.
196
00:12:59,180 --> 00:13:04,030
So now we can go ahead and zigzag this back.
197
00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:05,050
It's just kind of like that.
198
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:09,020
You can see that it kind of starts to get squashed and then we'll go ahead and draw the Catherine
199
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:22,570
something like that and draw the foot in and just use kind of a simple sort of dynamic looking triangle
200
00:13:22,570 --> 00:13:23,380
shape like that
201
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,560
this could actually I think the this leg needs to be starting further back a little bit more
202
00:13:46,070 --> 00:14:11,370
and so we actually want this to end a little bit higher than what we had before.
203
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:11,990
All right.
204
00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:13,900
So we have a line of action.
205
00:14:14,330 --> 00:14:19,340
And then we have all of the basic parts of the body drawn out so we can really see what the poses what
206
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:27,200
the action is just by using some simple lines and with very minimal shapes.
207
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,150
All right great.
208
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,120
So that brings us to the end of this lecture so you won't always necessarily be drawing your character
209
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,890
with lines like this.
210
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:37,880
I just want you to take it to the process of how you should think about drawing the human form because
211
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,440
the more you understand the more it's going to be easy for you to draw the human form and you'll have
212
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,730
a better understanding of it.
213
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,650
So I know this might seem overwhelming and I know sometimes it seems like we're going really slow through
214
00:14:48,650 --> 00:14:54,350
the course but trust me once we build this up in layers you're going to have a much better understanding
215
00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:56,210
of the human form.
216
00:14:56,210 --> 00:14:58,700
Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next lecture.
