Frame 93

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 93

human figure, right?


Frame 94

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 94

These are very basic rules.


Frame 95

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 95

And here we know that where this was the navel, the crotch, when we divide in three parts


Frame 96

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 96

over here, we're going to go to the left of this and we'll just draw out the bone over


Frame 97

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 97

here for the leg and we're just going to wear this area is for the above of the knee,


Frame 98

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 98

we're just going to curve this like this and really just make it balance itself.


Frame 99

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 99

So it doesn't fall over and this gives us the leg here for the foot.


Frame 100

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 100

I'm just going to keep this very simple for now because we haven't gotten far into that


Frame 101

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 101

understanding yet.


Frame 102

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 102

I'm just going to make it like this and this gives us the basic structure for the foot.


Frame 103

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 103

And obviously for the, where the arm is where the shoulder is going to be, we know that


Frame 104

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 104

the clavicle is going to come, remember, over here, here in the front wheel, we had said


Frame 105

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 105

it's got to be here.


Frame 106

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 106

So when it comes like this, it's just going to be right over here, right?


Frame 107

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 107

And then you can just draw out a line over here just like this.


Frame 108

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 108

And this is where the crotch is, remember the pendulum over here and just draw out like


Frame 109

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 109

a hand over here for now, just a circle, no big deal.


Frame 110

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 110

This is where the navel, sorry, this is where the navel is, the belly button and over


Frame 111

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 111

here like a pendulum, we know that the elbow is going to be roughly around here.


Frame 112

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 112

So this gives us the side of the human figure.


Frame 113

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 113

So now if we draw, I'm going to come around here and now I'm going to draw this, I might


Frame 114

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 114

overlap a little bit, that's okay.


Frame 115

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 115

And now here I'm going to draw it out from the front, which is very simple.


Frame 116

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 116

In concept, right, we divide this in half, just approximate it over here, like this.


Frame 117

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 117

And then over here, this is the bottom of the peck muscles, the navel, the bottom of


Frame 118

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 118

the chin, right?


Frame 119

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 119

Then over here, this is where the knees are going to be above this line.


Frame 120

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 120

So we are just going to make it like this here, right?


Frame 121

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 121

Sometimes you might put a line here, just measure it and make sure it's accurate.


Frame 122

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 122

And before moving on, just make sure that this is in the middle, you measure everything


Frame 123

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 123

pretty much correctly over here.


Frame 124

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 124

So once this is done, I'm going to now just draw out, remember, it's really the same thing.


Frame 125

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 125

From here to here, if I had, if I, from here to here, if I come in the middle, come down,


Frame 126

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 126

I know it's just going to be like a circle over here, right?


Frame 127

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 127

So it's just going to be like this, right?


Frame 128

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 128

We didn't draw the front of the head like this before, but I'm just showing you from


Frame 129

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 129

the front.


Frame 130

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 130

It would just be like this, that's where I'm getting the shape from, right?


Frame 131

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 131

So here I'm just going to erase that circle in here, I just wanted to show you that in


Frame 132

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 132

the back, you can do that when we get to that part.


Frame 133

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 133

Okay, so here's the bottom of the peck muscles over here, we're going to get the clavicle


Frame 134

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 134

see over here, it's the clavicle, then over here, is this guy over here, right?


Frame 135

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 135

You got that space, that's why I did it here because I need this area of the space here


Frame 136

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 136

to show.


Frame 137

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 137

Okay, so once we have this, we know that okay, we can start to make out the chest cavity


Frame 138

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 138

like this, just rough it in a little bit and just look at the height and just translate


Frame 139

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 139

it, obviously the nipples are not going to be on the line of the bottom of the peck


Frame 140

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 140

muscles, they're going to be above.


Frame 141

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 141

So here I'm just going to curve it in just like this, right?


Frame 142

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 142

This is where the nipples are to the right, just go like this, just sketch it out, just


Frame 143

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 143

be rough about it, and here's the needle from, and this is the bottom of the peck muscles.


Frame 144

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 144

So if I divided this section in half, came down, I knew it was just going to be here, right?


Frame 145

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 145

Just like this, and here I can just make a circle over here, right?


Frame 146

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 146

So once we had this, now the understanding of this is very simple, we knew that it's


Frame 147

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 147

really just the imaginary line over here, we knew that over here where the navel is, it's


Frame 148

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 148

really just dividing this in three different sections, we knew that the junction was going


Frame 149

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 149

to be here, right?


Frame 150

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 150

But meaning that we had changed this and said, well, if the junction is here, we're really


Frame 151

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 151

just going to make this into a three-dimensional top over here of this here in Eclips, over


Frame 152

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 152

here, right?


Frame 153

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 153

I'm drawing this top here like this, right?


Frame 154

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 154

And making sure that I'm not drawing it here, right?


Frame 155

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 155

It's got a match over here to this over here, pretty much.


Frame 156

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 156

I'll just come over here like this, and that's it, and this junction here for this can


Frame 157

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 157

just go like this, and that's it, right?


Frame 158

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 158

And then once we have this, we knew that this line here, right, it was divided in three


Frame 159

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 159

different parts, we knew that the ball joint is going to be roughly around here, right?


Frame 160

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 160

It's got to be roughly around here, matching this, just a little side of this, so I'm just


Frame 161

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 161

going to put it like this.


Frame 162

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 162

So see how on chain, just doing it more artistically is just because it's our invention, our idea,


Frame 163

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 163

so we can do it in our own style.


Frame 164

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 164

And for the leg here, I'm just going to make it like this, over here, and make this leg


Frame 165

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 165

over here like this, just pull the lines in here, I'm just going to do the foot like


Frame 166

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 166

this, make it very easy, and then once we get more knowledge, we can begin to understand


Frame 167

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 167

this more, this area of the foot.


Frame 168

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 168

So here is the line for the half of this, right?


Frame 169

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 169

So here, when I'm looking at it, I'm seeing that I should have really, let's put it like


Frame 170

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 170

about here, so it should be like here, right?


Frame 171

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 171

So these are the things that you can adjust as you're going through that process, okay?


Frame 172

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 172

So once we have this, this is the navel area over here, so we can just, I mean, we don't


Frame 173

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 173

have to put a line here, we know that the navel is going to be here, and this is where


Frame 174

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 174

the clavicle is, we know it's an obvious statement that it cannot collide here, so here


Frame 175

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 175

I'm just going to just look at this, look at this, and just put the structure here, the


Frame 176

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 176

clavicle.


Frame 177

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 177

Remember, this has to be up, meaning that this is like a curve going in this up direction,


Frame 178

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 178

right?


Frame 179

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 179

And once we have this, here, we can just draw out the line for the arms, where the crotch


Frame 180

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 180

area is, we know that the wrist is going to be here, draw it the hand like this, where


Frame 181

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 181

the navel is, like a pendulum, right?


Frame 182

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 182

Then I got the elbow, and over here, just do the same exact thing.


Frame 183

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 183

Here, just draw out the hand and over here, for the pendulum, just draw it out like this,


Frame 184

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 184

so we've got the front done, right?


Frame 185

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 185

So we've proved this, and we've proved this, and the last thing we need to prove is the


Frame 186

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 186

back.


Frame 187

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 187

So for the back, just going to do it over here, this is going to be pretty easy now for


Frame 188

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 188

you.


Frame 189

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 189

Right, it's very simple, just find the middle, and then over here, I'm going to do it


Frame 190

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 190

over here, or above, line for the, where the knee is supposed to be above, over here


Frame 191

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 191

is going to be the bottom of the peck, the chin, and then the navel, right?


Frame 192

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 192

So from the back, now I can just draw it the way I did it here, from this here, I'm going


Frame 193

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 005 - Your First Milestone - Frame 193

to divide this in half, go here, I know that this is just, needs to be like a, like a circle
