Frame 1

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

Frame 2

human figure from your mind training course.

Frame 3

Okay, so in the previous lesson, we went through the really imprinting, bolting into the mind,

Frame 4

the structure of the invention of the human figure for the front view, like we proved

Frame 5

the concept of an invention, we know that it's going to work.

Frame 6

So the next thing to do is now to understand our invention for the back view, the back

Frame 7

view, right?

Frame 8

What should it look like?

Frame 9

And here is where we're going to begin to understand really, really the, like the core

Frame 10

understanding of how our mind thinks and understands things in these cognitive ways and through

Frame 11

these very small microbursts of steps, right?

Frame 12

So to explain this, we have to prove it as to what we're trying to get at, right?

Frame 13

We can see that there, like this area here, how we draw this from the back, the mind

Frame 14

doesn't know, so we have to help it understand, right?

Frame 15

So to draw out the back view, well, I'm just going to draw it over here, it's really going

Frame 16

to be the same exact thing.

Frame 17

So here I'm going to draw out a line over here, just like before, for the back view and

Frame 18

you're going to say that this is going to be basically the height of the figure, right?

Frame 19

So when I do the, when I mark out the crotch area, it's going to be exactly the same, right?

Frame 20

The crotch is going to be here.

Frame 21

And now when we get into the back view, what should the formulas be?

Frame 22

Well, they're going to be exactly the same.

Frame 23

We just have to draw it a little differently, right?

Frame 24

So we know that over here, if we take from the crotch to the bottom and really just

Frame 25

eyeball this and say that this is going to be over here, we know that the knees are going

Frame 26

to be about this line.

Frame 27

And from the crotch to the top, we know that the, that the peck muscles, the bottom of the

Frame 28

peck is going to be here, but obviously we cannot see it, right?

Frame 29

So we'll leave that just a marker over here for now, right?

Frame 30

We have to train the mind to understand that's why we're putting these lines here.

Frame 31

And we know over here, this is where the navel is going to be, and from the bottom of

Frame 32

the peck to the top, it's going to be where the area for the chain is going to be, right?

Frame 33

So let's draw out the back of the head, which is going to be the exactly the same thing

Frame 34

as we drew out the front, just like this, right?

Frame 35

So the only difference here is that we're just going to draw a ball shape over here to

Frame 36

signify that this is going to be the back of the head.

Frame 37

And here I'm just going to mark it out like this, right?

Frame 38

So to understand this, it's really what I did was, when, when I was at the chain area

Frame 39

and here I just divided this really in like these three different parts and really just

Frame 40

drew a ball shape and this really gave me the average understanding of the back of the

Frame 41

head.

Frame 42

Now again, all this stuff we're going to look at in detail.

Frame 43

So there's no question about it as to how we chose the sides, right?

Frame 44

So if I took this and divided this in three different parts, like this, basically the

Frame 45

last part here is how I did the circle.

Frame 46

So this is the back of the human head, okay?

Frame 47

That's how simple we're going to keep it.

Frame 48

So over here, where we were at the bottom of the peck muscles and this is what the chain

Frame 49

is, when we did the front, we just said just draw a V shape like this and draw out the

Frame 50

chest cavity, right?

Frame 51

So from over here, now this is where you'll see as to how the mind starts to grasp information.

Frame 52

Over here, when I, when I did this is because there's an opening and all shape over here.

Frame 53

So the neck can fit here, meaning that this guy is really going to be on an angle which

Frame 54

we will discover in the side view.

Frame 55

So from here, from the back, it's obviously just going to go like this and there is going

Frame 56

to be no circle, meaning that this guy really

Frame 57

is not going to show it also.

Frame 58

I'm just going to erase it, but I'll still leave a little bit of, I can see the anomaly

Frame 59

over here because I want to be able to connect the clavicle.

Frame 60

So it's going to be the same thing.

Frame 61

Just look at it.

Frame 62

I have all this with the bottom of the peck muscles, so this is going to be basically where

Frame 63

the nipples are going to be meaning that my chest cavity is just going to be like, pretty

Frame 64

much like this, right?

Frame 65

So obviously, I don't have to draw out those two nipple areas here, just so you know you

Frame 66

want to be able to eyeball this stuff or measure it out.

Frame 67

This is how you do it and you can just erase them later on, right?

Frame 68

And then we'll just go down like this.

Frame 69

Then we know that, okay, this is for the bottom of the peck.

Frame 70

This is really going to be the, from here to here, it's going to be the navel.

Frame 71

I'm going to move it up a little bit over here.

Frame 72

And then if I really just had divided this in three different, sorry, from here to here,

Frame 73

if I divide this in half and went down, I knew that it's just going to be like this,

Frame 74

okay?

Frame 75

So this is the difference from the back.

Frame 76

So I'm just going to leave this mark here because I'm going to show you something just

Frame 77

a little bit why this line, this line here is also important to know, right?

Frame 78

So from the front view, we know that there was a cut over here, but from the back view,

Frame 79

the cut is on the front, so we really can't show much.

Frame 80

So meaning that when you come over here, for now, just do it like this and over here,

Frame 81

you could have just done it like this also if you wanted to, right?

Frame 82

So this is now helping the mind understand, okay, I see what's going on.

Frame 83

This is how it looks from the front and this is how this thing will look from the back.

Frame 84

So you can make it a little more oval shape if you want to just like this and that's it.

Frame 85

So now we move on here to the area for the pelvis, how are we going to solve this?

Frame 86

How should it look like?

Frame 87

Well, we don't have to solve anything right now, it's because we can only solve this when

Frame 88

we get to the side view of our invention because right now, we don't have enough information

Frame 89

to give to the minus to how it should understand this.

Frame 90

So for this, it's basically going to be the same thing where the nipple is.

Frame 91

I'm just going to look at this and then this thing here to just divide this right from

Frame 92

here to here.

Frame 93

I'm going to divide this section in three different parts to know that this is really where

Frame 94

the junction was for this here and just draw it the same exact way, right?

Frame 95

I just need to show the line over here and where this line is, right, from the navel,

Frame 96

the crotch.

Frame 97

I divide this in three different sections, this is one, two, three.

Frame 98

The top one here is where the love handles are going to be on the other side and over

Frame 99

here where this line is, is I just know that the ball joint is going to be knowing that

Frame 100

it's really going to be very close to this area, this is here, it's going to be like just

Frame 101

a little off, that's it.

Frame 102

And then here, I can just draw out the legs just like this, right?

Frame 103

And again, it's the same thing for the feet we're going to do it this way, right?

Frame 104

There is, we're keeping everything very simple because we do not want to bombard the, we're

Frame 105

learning from going through this exercise from the experience we're letting the mind go

Frame 106

through is that we do not want to bombard the mind too much information.

Frame 107

I say it's going to be the same concept over here.

Frame 108

So now we get to the, this is the, we'll clean that up a little bit here.
