All right.

So now that we've learned about kind of drawing jesters with dynamic poses by using a line and shape

we'll talk about how to draw them using dynamic form.

So previously we just kind of drew a profile view of a person.

But now we're going to be drawing form we need to see more than just a profile of you because we need

to actually be able to see the form because form from a profile of you often just looks like shapes.

But it's not until we see it at a different angle that it actually looks like a three dimensional form.

So for example if you were to think of let's say the arm as a cylinder or part of the arm from the side

it's just going to look like a rectangle.

But once you kind of move that camera upward so you're kind of looking down onto it you're going to

see more of a view like this right.

And so that's what we're going to be moving onto a different type of post for this.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna basically do what we did the last lecture where we're going to

draw this pose right here as a gesture but we're gonna be using form to do that.

So we're gonna break her down into a simple sort of geometric forms and make those look dynamic and

still capture that gesture and thereby figuring out what the direction of the motion is in her pose.

So let's go ahead and begin.

So we could probably start just by roughing in her head so I'm just gonna lightly draw our about where

I think her head should be right.

We can go ahead and draw her line of action just kind of along like this then curves out her leg

we could also draw the line of action of this leg and we don't always have to follow exactly on top

of these line of actions.

These are just to give us an idea of the direction of the motion

battling or their

and she's got one arm kind of going back like this.

Actually I think it's kind of angling the other way.

So kind of up like that.

And this one is kind of going out like that.

It's looking pretty good.

Go ahead let's move this over just so I can have a little bit more space.

All right.

So now that we kind of have our line of action is going in there just basically stick figure.

Now we can start breaking it down into kind of the forms and so I sometimes kind of like to start with

shapes and then move on to forms.

So for example I might kind of block out about the size of her pelvis area with maybe like an oval maybe

do the same thing for her upper chest.

But once I have about the size where I want it to be then I can go ahead and kind of sketch on top of

that make it into a form.

So we're going to use sort of rectangular forms for this just because it'll help us visualize it a little

bit better.

So let's go ahead and begin.

So for the shoulders and kind of curved the top of this rectangular shape and then I can go ahead and

kind of curve it and taper it downwards like this

so taper it down like that

and so we'll just kind of make her rib cage area just kind of this rectangular shape just keeping it

nice and simple

right.

Just something like that we can really use a bowl for the waist

then let's go ahead.

Let's move on to the pelvis.

So for the pelvis I want to kind of do the same thing but I kinda want to straighten this out a little

bit more because I think her body is just a little bit twisted.

I think that her upper body is kind of twisting around kind of like this.

So we're seeing it from a straight on view but this part right here I think we're seeing from more of

a side view.

So I kind of go ahead and draw her pelvis

like this.

And we're also kind of getting this curve here.

So already because we're following our line of action we're getting a nice gesture going on.

So if we were to break this down kind of into its arrow shapes or its arrow motions you'd see that one's

kind of going like that.

And as we move along through this you'll see that there's a lot more direction to this.

All right let's go ahead and move on to the leg so I'll go ahead and just kind of draw a cylinder.

Kind of coming off.

Let's have it just coming off the bottom like this all right so we'll kind of see that top surface there

will add some dynamics to this by kind of curving her thigh like that

just sees a ball for the joint and will do the same thing for the calf for the calf.

Let's go ahead and give it a direction kind of moving in the opposite direction so we're kind of going

like this

then for the leg just kind of give it sort of a dynamic shape

this

dynamic form I mean something like that the feet get kind of complicated so especially you're drawing

a form so you have to kind of draw a little bit more of a complicated dynamic form like that I foot

might be a little bit too big.

All right let's go ahead and move on to her other leg.

So this other leg we're actually kind of basically seen it in profile so we can just kind of go ahead

and draw it.

You might see a slight bit of curve but basically just gonna be coming off like this.

So get it nice curve right there and then also taper as you'll notice that I have these thighs kind

of taper inwards and that also creates that nice dynamic form

and then the calf is going to go in like this tapering and curve

and then right here we'll actually get to see the foot a little bit more so.

So she's kind of grabbing her foot.

Let's go ahead and kind of curve it.

I know her shoe is kind of curving that way.

I feel like I would actually look better if we kind of curve it like this because she's kind of pulling

on it with her hands so let's go ahead and curve the bottom of the foot kind of like that.

All right.

So it's kind of a kind of messy form but you get the idea.

Sometimes we get the hands and feet until you start drawing the details and you can just kind of represent

them with shapes.

All right let's go ahead and do this back arm right here.

So I think we're going to see a little bit of form kind of right there you'll see kind of the roundness

or the circle of the cylinder maybe what we'll do is let's curve this like that so we have that curved

form for the bicep area and then for the forearm we'll go ahead and kind of curve it in the opposite

direction and we actually need to kind of stretch this out just a tiny bit further so that our hand

can kind of reach that foot

right.

And so the hand just kind of reaches over there on that foot.

So we'll just pretend that it's kind of holding on to that.

All right then for the other arm let's go ahead do the same thing.

So what kind of angle this and since we're kind of seeing this almost on a profile view.

So we had kind of just see that cylinder as a rectangle so I'll just draw it in like that but we can

have some curve to it

then for the forearm gotten curved that out a little bit too loops on I don't know brush size getting

bigger.

So just curve that a little bit as well

and get the hand we can kind of curve that out in this direction

right

right.

Great.

So that looks pretty good.

And again the proportions aren't perfect.

I can only tell by looking at this that for example this arm right here is way too long.

The legs are way too short.

The leg should actually probably be something more like down there because if you're to take the height

of this leg and put it across here it's just going to be way way way too short.

And so the proportions are off.

This isn't a perfect representation of this drawing.

The point of this is to really get an idea of the direction that all this is moving in.

Now there is going to come a time where when you're drawing gesture drawings you are going to really

want to focus and figure out or at least practice drawing things so that they're as accurate as possible.

But for now I don't want you to focus on that.

We'll focus on that and a little bit.

All right.

Great.

That brings us to the end of this lecture.

So just remember that everything needs to have a dynamic either line shape or form to it.

Now looking at this already just realize that it simply didn't add very dynamic shape to this or a dynamic

form and that would be the pelvis.

I should probably add a little bit of curve to that and some of you probably actually content.

Hey Jason what are you doing.

It's not dynamic so that's a little bit better looking.

All right great.

Thanks for watching this lecture and I'll see you guys in the next one.
