Ok. Welcome to this second part

that we will be talking about poses and the

curves and how they are related directly to

the dynamics

of the poses itself. So

the first thing we will

see in this part is that

we are having

our normal pose for example.

Right? And usually when you are starting

making poses also with the normal

thing you are making with your poses is

a natural

position for your character. Right?

So here we have

a normal pose.

So

here in this part of the course, we will

be talking about

how to give more life to

this kinds of poses and

tips for helping you to analyze your

poses in general. So you can give

them more dynamics

and movement in general.

So

we will start with this pose as

you can see it's really simple.

The character is only standing there.

And the first thing we will need to see is

as we talked it in the first part

of gesture,

the principal lines

of movement of this body.

And the first thing we will see is

the edge line.

What we have in this edge line?

That is basically a vertical line

in a

90 degree

on parallel to the floor.

Ok? So

if we have here the legs and the

feet there, we will have like

a 90

degree angle with this line.

The edge line of the body.

So that is the first thing.

The second thing is we will be looking again

to the shoulder line and the hip line. So

hip line is a bit curve.

But that is because

naturally I

told myself it's a bit difficult to

make really, really straight lines

in my character for now. But

you can think that here is 90 degrees. So

that works. But if we go to the shoulder,

it happens the same.

So that is the really basic information

we have from this pose.

So while we are talking about

the curves, we are

talking about the poses.

Because the curves give life

to your characters.

So for example if I took this and

in my head,

it starts to look something like this.

And something like this. Right?

And instead of this line,

I start to do something like this.

Or can be something like this too.

Okay? So

we compare

this analysis

with the real one we have.

And you can see clearly the curves here.

And the grid

we are having here.

Because you need to have in

consideration that

all the body have frame

by itself.

And that frame,

it's going with

the curves. For example,

you now will see

that if this shoulder line goes

in this side, the hip line will be

also in this side.

because really

don't have sense at all.

So

I will think about

if the line of up goings,

this part,

the lines of the hip will

going in the opposite.

This one is looking

behind to the floor.

This one will be looking up.

And that is really, really important to have

in mind when you are making movements.

Because

it's when you are analyzing,

you start to see

how the body works in general. For example,

if you are doing a person that

some reason

is running

for example.

Okay? so this is

a really, really basic sketch

of this person running, right?

So this person is running so

if we analyze this

again, we have shoulder line,

hip line

and the body line. Okay?

The edge of the body line.

And we can see

the torso

that is moving in the opposite too, because

the part of up of the torso

is going forward.

The hips are doing the opposite

because it's part of the body

read that

this happens.

Because

first of all, we use

if you are doing like

this character is running for example.

And we put

this leg

in the same position as the arm of the same

size, for example.

Really when you are looking at it,

don't have sense.

Right? If we are looking,

making this

is looking like a really, really

basic drawing of

a person that not usually draws.

Right? So

you need to have that in consideration and

really know the body is really important.

And

you will see it,

apply it in every parts

and each part of the body.

For example, if we

attend only to the leg.

And we have the leg here for example.

This leg here, okay?

So you can see it's normal.

This leg but

if we see it

in the side

by side, we will see

something like this.

Of the edge here

and what is happening with the limb

of the leg.

The leg is doing

like a C.

And there a D.

Okay? We have this

already and you can imagine it as a S.

So that

limb of the muscles happens too because

if we only focus in this part of the leg,

we can see in a close up that

we have the muscles here

in this part.

And muscles from behind,

not are in the same level.

That happens

also with the arms. If we go into the

arms for example,

we have for example, this

arm here.

Sketching here.

Subtitled by

We compress knowledge for you!

Okay? Drawing an arm as side view.

Okay? It's better for you to understand.

So we have this arm.

Okay? And

we can check the limb here.

You can see this muscle here

and this other muscle here.

They never are at the same

height.

Okay? They are like

with the different level.

If the muscle is doing this,

the other muscle that this in the same arm

is doing this.

So we have

something like this.

The same with this arm.

Okay? So

it's like a little movement.

So that makes that the body

in general have its limb

and not looks something like this

because you know when you are

starting with muscles or you see like

persons that not used to draw,

drawing muscles, they usually do

something like this.

And really don't have sense because

they are only getting the general idea of

the muscle that

is looking something like this.

Ok? And

they don't

realize that

the muscle have a limb

for the position it has.

Not it's only that the muscle at the

other side also is

curve. But

it's not have same level.

It's different.

And that makes the arm looks nice

at the end. And

the limb of the body that we are

finding in each part

of the body also are placed in general

to the body. So

for that, the curve

is really, really important to make

your poses

dynamic. So

we come back to this pose

that you can see it's like really natural

and don't have life. You can make

the same pose

putting again the curves

we are talking about.

Okay? So we can draw

the curves of chest.

The curve continues with the torso.

And also always remember the torso

leads

the movement of the body in general. So

you need to accompany

that movement.

For example, if we have

this torso and it's making a S.

Right? You need to finish the S

with arm of the legs. So

this leg, for example, that is

the one that we will follow the movement

of the torso because the torso can do this

right now.

This leg will continue with this movement

to the end of this.

And same

with the lines of shoulders, of the line

of the

hips.

We want to

continue this

energy. You can do something like opened.

You can do something that

give some interesting

volume to the body

because we have this line so we can have

an arm here

and the shoulder here. Also it's

right here.

This.

So we can connect them

in something like this.

And this other one can be

only standing here.

And

with the S

make some

opened to the S.

Okay? And make a curve like this.

This way.

And you can make like intensify

this part too

with the curve. Or

you can put it up

with the movement

that is burning in this leg going through

the chest.

And opened here.

Okay? So you have those

both options that can help to.

And also you can make it more opened.

Like the head is like trying to

touch the arm

in some way.

Make it behind or you can make it

over there. I change.

Make it behind because.

So that is

some forms that

you can play with the curves in general and

in the basics of the body.

And the body

is also really, really important here. So

the important points here are

the curves make

the body interesting when it's posing.

The curves give life to the pose.

The curves, you can play with the curves

in a lot of places.

And you can make

a really natural pose that is aesthetic,

dynamic only using a curve

in that body. So

we can, for example,

try to make like

whole body here.

So you will

be more clear. That

helps a lot with

giving esthetic pose movement.

So now

what are the curves in gained here.

As you can see, the first one is really

clear and it's this one.

We will finish the hand here. So

you can check it with problem.

But the first curve in game

is this one.

Okay? What is the second curve in game?

This one.

It's a clearly a curve here.

It's giving a lot

movement to the leg.

And it's a really natural pose as you can

see. But it gives,

gives the body.

Something like this. And here

and here, we have

the shoulder and the hips.

Okay? So

And you can think about this leg is going

something like this. So it's a bit

more difficult to find

the curve here.

It's a really small one that

is making this.

But in general,

it's all the posing in curves.

Nothing is

straight line

in any of this ways

because it can be a straight line if you are

making, for example,

this. This can be

assumed as a straight line.

Not so much like this.

But this straight line is

in movement

because we can see

that it's also giving a 3D,

actually sense of some.

So

not it's only standing there is

like giving volume

at the end too. But

this pose that is

really, really normal.

Okay? It's a presentation character pose.

It's something really

what you are not

using this for

animation or you are not using this for

making something crazy in your illustration.

This is like for model sheet and

for character presentation.

Our only character pose

and you can see that is

most interesting than

other poses. So

talking about interesting work

that is the next

video that we will

be talking about how to make

your character interesting. And this

is only the start

of the points of that thematic.

So we can go to the next video as well.
