Frame 1

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 1

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


Frame 2

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 2

the Human Figure from your Mind Training Course.


Frame 3

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 3

Okay, so in the previous lesson, we had left off where we had understood how we were able


Frame 4

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 4

to help the mind understand where it could now draw from the memory of the front view.


Frame 5

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 5

And now it can also draw the back view, right? So the only difference was that we drew


Frame 6

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 6

the chance cavity a little more differently and then we put really a circle here for the


Frame 7

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 7

back view of the skull and really just shaded this in a little bit to signify that that was the


Frame 8

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 8

area of the jaw, right? And everything else was basically the same.


Frame 9

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 9

So it was this area here, these two places that we wanted to understand.


Frame 10

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 10

We understand this, but over here is the fuzzy area that we don't know.


Frame 11

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 11

So now here we're going to go through a discovery process and what is important to


Frame 12

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 12

understand about this is that when we draw the side view, here you will begin to


Frame 13

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 13

understand how the mind will start to put things together in a three-dimensional


Frame 14

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 14

understanding, right? We're not going to draw anything in 3D, but we'll begin to


Frame 15

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 15

understand things in 3D, right? So to do that, we are going to draw


Frame 16

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 16

out the side view of the figure. So for the side view, I'm going to draw it out


Frame 17

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 17

over here and for this one is going to be exactly the same thing.


Frame 18

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 18

We're just going to draw out a line, just really a line going straight down like this over


Frame 19

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 19

here, right? So this will give me the height for the figure over here.


Frame 20

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 20

So this line here, right, when we drew out the line here in the straight line,


Frame 21

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 21

this was really the line of gravity and it helps us to understand how to,


Frame 22

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 22

how each part is divided on both different parts and it's the same thing.


Frame 23

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 23

And on the side view, this will be the line of gravity.


Frame 24

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 24

And this line now is going to play a really, really vital role to


Frame 25

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 25

help us understand how to balance the figure and how we begin to understand


Frame 26

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 26

what is it that we've been drawing. Remember, all of this stuff that we're


Frame 27

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 27

doing is an invention of a toolkit. It's basically a blueprint that we're


Frame 28

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 28

creating. So all we have to do now is divide this line in half.


Frame 29

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 29

So here I'm just going to draw an X here for the area for the crotch again.


Frame 30

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 30

I'm going to draw this line a little more clearly because it's a little fuzzy.


Frame 31

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 31

Okay, that should be good enough. And then over here we're going to divide this


Frame 32

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 32

in half. We know that this is where the knees are going to be above just like this


Frame 33

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 33

from the side view, right? Then over here we're going to divide this in half


Frame 34

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 34

about here. This is where the bottom of the pec muscles is going to be.


Frame 35

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 35

This is where the navel is supposed to be. Then if we go up here,


Frame 36

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 36

this will be the bottom of the chin, right? So this is the height of the head


Frame 37

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 37

that I'm showing you. Okay, so now what we need to do is understand


Frame 38

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 38

okay, how should we draw this invention from the side view?


Frame 39

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 39

So we need to come up with a very basic rules of understanding really like


Frame 40

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 40

these basic formulas that we can just lead behind when we start to draw


Frame 41

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 41

where everything just is understood as an obvious concept.


Frame 42

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 42

So the first thing that we're going to solve here is the human head.


Frame 43

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 43

Now notice what we're doing is we're going to slow down our thinking, right?


Frame 44

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 44

So this is really getting into the this area of managing your way of thinking, right?


Frame 45

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 45

We are the thinkers. We're really the creator. So we're going to decide how the


Frame 46

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 46

mind will begin to understand things. So the well, now this is where we're going


Frame 47

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 47

to start to adjust our way of drawing things out. So to draw out the head


Frame 48

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 48

from the side view, what we'll do for now as a very simple rule in this


Frame 49

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 49

toolkit is that when we take the height of the head to the chin when we divide this


Frame 50

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 50

and have and go down, this will basically give us the idea of how we need to


Frame 51

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 51

make a circle over here for our idea for the human head, right?


Frame 52

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 52

The invention of the head that we're going to create, right?


Frame 53

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 53

So over here from now on when we draw it from the back, we'll just say that


Frame 54

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 54

okay, well, if I'm on the back, I'm just going to take from here here.


Frame 55

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 55

And if I was here divide this in half, I really just ended up doing the same thing, right?


Frame 56

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 56

So I can just draw out the circle like this, right? So over here it's the same


Frame 57

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 57

thing you really don't have to worry about it, but from the side it's always


Frame 58

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 58

going to be like this. So this line here divides it, meaning that it's the human


Frame 59

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 59

head really just needs to be understood in a circle. So once we have this, we


Frame 60

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 60

now can make the jaw. The jaw for this, we're going to make the figure face this


Frame 61

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 61

in that direction over there, right? So for the jaw, where we put this line


Frame 62

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 62

over here, we're just going to go above this and make the jaw on the left side


Frame 63

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 63

going in this direction, just like this, like this, this, this, and basically


Frame 64

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 64

where this guy is, I can just come like this over here.


Frame 65

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 65

And very simply make the human head, like the human skull really, right?


Frame 66

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 66

So here I'm just going to clean up some of these lines here, because I want to


Frame 67

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 67

slow down and make sure we understand how we're helping the mind to get these


Frame 68

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 68

concepts, right? So for the jaw, I just did this line here, like this, and then


Frame 69

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 69

I do it from the front, like this, and I'm just following the circle up the head,


Frame 70

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 70

right? So here is the original circle for the head. So for the jaw, I just came


Frame 71

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 71

down like this and this, right? And this is the line for the chin and this is


Frame 72

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 72

where it ended. It's a very simple concept. So the next rule is we need to


Frame 73

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 73

understand, okay, now we need to draw out the chest cavity. So how should the


Frame 74

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 74

chest cavity be placed when it is drawn from the side? Well, the first rule


Frame 75

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 75

over invention there will state is that whenever we draw the neck, so the


Frame 76

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 76

neck is going to be obviously on the right side of this, right? It's basically


Frame 77

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 77

going to be here. Whenever we draw out the neck, it must always be on an


Frame 78

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 78

angle. So this is a rule that we never want to forget is because in our


Frame 79

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 79

invention, when the head sits on the human body, it was always pushed out and


Frame 80

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 80

the chest is pushed a little bit back and you'll see as to why that happens.


Frame 81

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 81

So where this is the line for the chin, this is the line for the pack, bottom


Frame 82

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 82

of the pack muscles, right? So let's look at this. This is the bottom line for


Frame 83

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 83

the pack muscles and this is the line for the chin. Then we made the


Frame 84

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 84

clavicle here, meaning that we've really just divided this in half. So if I


Frame 85

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 85

take this line over here, I'm just going to draw an imaginary line to show that


Frame 86

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 86

the clavicle is going to be on this line here, right? So as a rule, we'll


Frame 87

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 87

say that this point where we have the jaw, if we divide this in half like


Frame 88

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 88

this, right? From here, here, I'm going to divide from here to here in


Frame 89

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 89

half, this is where the clavicle needs to sit and it needs to go in in this way,


Frame 90

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 004 - Side view of your invention - Frame 90

meaning that the top of the chest cavity needs to go in this direction, meaning
