Frame 1

Hey guys, my name is Riven Phoenix and welcome to the Structure of Man, Learn to Draw

---

Frame 2

the Humanity Figure from your Mind Training course.

---

Frame 3

Okay, so in the previous lesson, we went through the concept of invention where we were going

---

Frame 4

through the process of proving to the mind itself as to how it could create its own rules

---

Frame 5

of understanding the concept of figure drawing, right?

---

Frame 6

So I showed you the beginning of the journey of your figure drawing course and then this

---

Frame 7

circle really signified the training that's involved in the Structure of Man and I also

---

Frame 8

showed you the end journey proving to you that what I'm showing you here is obviously

---

Frame 9

going to manifest into the figure drawing skill, right?

---

Frame 10

So everything that I show you in these lessons, it has to be proven onto paper that what

---

Frame 11

it is, what it is that I am saying that you should be able to reproduce it and say that

---

Frame 12

yes, it is completely true.

---

Frame 13

So in the previous lesson, we went through the concept of invention, right?

---

Frame 14

And that concept involved a very simple exfoliation of this that I could just draw out, let's

---

Frame 15

say it is a shape over here, put two circles here, put a circle mark an X in it, right?

---

Frame 16

Because I was its creator of this concept, I knew all the rules and I can artistically

---

Frame 17

in any style keep drawing this over and over because I'm into master.

---

Frame 18

So in the same way, when we went through this training process, through this figure, we

---

Frame 19

can do the same exact thing, right?

---

Frame 20

So to do that, we're going to now create the core structure of the figure, meaning that

---

Frame 21

we're just going to do the same exact thing, but we're going to do it without looking at

---

Frame 22

it, we're going to prove that yes, it has really imprinted in the mind.

---

Frame 23

So to start out, we're going to draw out the front of our invention of the human figure.

---

Frame 24

So our first basic idea was in this concept of invention.

---

Frame 25

Remember, we know that in the end, we will be able to draw the figure very fluid and

---

Frame 26

very artistically, but right now, we need to train the mind to understand.

---

Frame 27

So to do that, we drew out here, I want you to draw out a simple line here, right?

---

Frame 28

So this one is the first initial idea that we had said, right?

---

Frame 29

All you have to do is to really just draw it online.

---

Frame 30

You divide this guy in half, basically, you can just eyeball it.

---

Frame 31

This gives you the area for the crotch.

---

Frame 32

And if you go from here to here, divide in half, approximately here, you will get that

---

Frame 33

the knees should be above this line.

---

Frame 34

When you divide from here to here in half, you're going to get the bottom of the pack muscles

---

Frame 35

from here, from the crotch here, you'll get the navel, and from the bottom of the pack

---

Frame 36

from the top, you'll get the area of the chin is.

---

Frame 37

That's all we need.

---

Frame 38

And then all we did was draw out a very simple bowl shape here for the head.

---

Frame 39

Once we did this where the pack muscle, the bottom of the pack was in the chin, if we

---

Frame 40

really just divide it in half, put a V shape, we knew that the clavicle is over here.

---

Frame 41

And from here to here, if we go in half way, we know that the chest cavity is going to

---

Frame 42

start, meaning that this is the back of the chest cavity, right?

---

Frame 43

Because obviously it's going to be on an angle.

---

Frame 44

And we will understand as to why that is when we move through that process.

---

Frame 45

So I'm just telling you as to why I did that when I went up everything as a reason to

---

Frame 46

its reality in figure drawing.

---

Frame 47

So once we have this, we can now just draw out like this ball shape nicely over here.

---

Frame 48

And we knew that the width of this is really the height of the head, meaning that this

---

Frame 49

is where the bottom of the pack is.

---

Frame 50

So if I did the nipples over here, meaning from here to here, it's the same thing as

---

Frame 51

here to here, it's the same thing as here to here, I just switched it.

---

Frame 52

So once I have the nipples, I know that obviously the chest cavity is going to be going around

---

Frame 53

like this.

---

Frame 54

Notice that I'm just being very sketchy about this now, right, because this is the power

---

Frame 55

of invention that allows us to do this.

---

Frame 56

So here's the naval area, here's the bottom of the pack muscles.

---

Frame 57

So if you really just divided this in half and came down one more, you would know that

---

Frame 58

it just goes like this, it curves up.

---

Frame 59

So this gives us a very basic idea of the chest cavity, right.

---

Frame 60

So once we have this, we wanted to now understand the pelvis area, and that is very simple.

---

Frame 61

We just took from the naval and from the crotch and really it's just dividing this section

---

Frame 62

in three different parts here.

---

Frame 63

Once you have this, you know that the love handle is going to be here, basically the point

---

Frame 64

of this.

---

Frame 65

And where this nipple is, if we drew an imaginary line, we'll get this junction in here and

---

Frame 66

it would go like this, right, so you can just eyeball that.

---

Frame 67

So let me explain this in a little more detail, what happened here.

---

Frame 68

See this, this is the nipple area here, this is the imaginary line going down in this area

---

Frame 69

here.

---

Frame 70

If I had to magnify what happened here, is that when I took that line down, I just picked

---

Frame 71

the point here, over here, and it went like this and this, right, it's a junction.

---

Frame 72

So this is where your love handle is going to be, your love handle is going to be here,

---

Frame 73

this is the area for the crotch going, this is where your leg is going to be, right.

---

Frame 74

So over here, I'm just going to do it this way, just be artistic about it.

---

Frame 75

And you'll see that as we move through these lessons that we will clean up this understanding,

---

Frame 76

like these are like these fuzzy areas in the mind that doesn't completely understand

---

Frame 77

and that's okay because we don't want to give it too much information.

---

Frame 78

We have to help that understand us to why things are the way they are.

---

Frame 79

So once we have this, we then you, okay, well, where we had divided this, where we had

---

Frame 80

really just eyeball this, that this was divided in three different sections, one, two,

---

Frame 81

and three.

---

Frame 82

It's really this guy here where we can just put the ball joint here, meaning that this

---

Frame 83

ball joint really should be where this, see this chest cavity is, and just a little

---

Frame 84

onto the right of this.

---

Frame 85

And this will, this is for the male, right, we're working on the male right now.

---

Frame 86

So once we have the ball joints here for the legs, we really can just put down a line

---

Frame 87

here for, let's say this leg over here and for the foot, we just did it like this.

---

Frame 88

In this way, we didn't have to get into too much detail because we don't want to right

---

Frame 89

now.

---

Frame 90

But we're deciding how to learn, right?

---

Frame 91

So here's the, let's say the other leg I can just put like this and for this one, I'm

---

Frame 92

just going to make the foot like this very simple, right?

---

Frame 93

As we move through this course, everything will become much more real and with a better

---

Frame 94

understanding of it.

---

Frame 95

So here where the division was for the area for the knee, we just need to make sure that

---

Frame 96

the knee should be above this line.

---

Frame 97

And this will give us a basic under the most basic concept of the figure, right?

---

Frame 98

So once we have this where the navel was and the, and the navel, we can just draw like

---

Frame 99

this line here, right?

---

Frame 100

For now, I just want you to draw this line, but usually you, as you go through this

---

Frame 101

process, you'll be able to just eyeball it where the clavicle was.

---

Frame 102

We had decided that where this top is and this is really just needs to be in the middle,

---

Frame 103

going like this and we get the ball joint.

---

Frame 104

So we have to make sure two things here.

---

Frame 105

One is that we got to make sure that this ball joint here, which is clavicle and this
