Frame 1

Hey guys, welcome to the structure of man learn to draw the human figure from your mind

---

Frame 2

figure training course.

---

Frame 3

So in the previous lesson we went through this process of proving that all the hard work

---

Frame 4

that we've been doing has really paid off because we proved it onto paper and that

---

Frame 5

is the most important part of figure drawing is to prove that what you are trying to

---

Frame 6

understand using these ideas of artistic thinking is really working.

---

Frame 7

Okay, so since we've now done this what we need to do now is obviously go through a process

---

Frame 8

and this is really what I call this is where we're going to go through this very pivotal

---

Frame 9

moment in the structure of man where you will begin to see as to how we will develop

---

Frame 10

the understanding of the entire skeleton structure, right?

---

Frame 11

So it's really the story of figure drawing that we're going through that we're putting

---

Frame 12

inside the mind as to how it understood the complete concept of the figure that we

---

Frame 13

created from scratch in a 3D form.

---

Frame 14

So what we have to do now is understand how do we draw this in a 3-fourth view, right?

---

Frame 15

So to do that, here I'm going to show you just the first fundamental concepts of formulas,

---

Frame 16

right?

---

Frame 17

What I just, what we went through are the basic rules and formulas that we created, but

---

Frame 18

now we need to understand how can we use the power of formulas to help the mind understand

---

Frame 19

really in a very simple and detailed way.

---

Frame 20

So when it draws something in 3D, something like this, so it draws it correctly.

---

Frame 21

Okay, so here is just the first idea of formulas, but we will actually get into much more important

---

Frame 22

formulas, meaning that you don't really have to use the formulas, the formulas are really

---

Frame 23

used to force the mind to see things.

---

Frame 24

So what we need to do is look at the side view of the figure and this will help us understand

---

Frame 25

how to draw in a 3-fourth view.

---

Frame 26

So to do that, I want you to take this drawing here.

---

Frame 27

You can draw this drawing again if you wanted to, but I'm just going to use this.

---

Frame 28

Since I have this, what I want to do is understand how would I draw this in 3D?

---

Frame 29

To do that, what I'm going to do is first draw, put this guy inside a long rectangle.

---

Frame 30

So I'm going to draw a line over here and obviously I'm just going to look at the center

---

Frame 31

line over here and draw a line over here.

---

Frame 32

I'm going to look at where this is, right?

---

Frame 33

So it's over here, but basically we actually had measured correctly like this anyways,

---

Frame 34

so we know that this is going to go really in this direction like this and just,

---

Frame 35

you don't have to use a ruler, just sketch out this box here.

---

Frame 36

Over here is going to be the same thing, right?

---

Frame 37

It's just going to be this box going really just in this direction over here.

---

Frame 38

It's just a very simple idea for the box.

---

Frame 39

So really the box should be just equal in how it's being done.

---

Frame 40

I'm just roughing it in here.

---

Frame 41

So I just made some of these lines a little fuzzy, so it might look like this is shorter,

---

Frame 42

but really it's going to be the same.

---

Frame 43

So here where the crotch is, I'm just going to divide this in half over here.

---

Frame 44

Now, and we'll use this understanding of this.

---

Frame 45

So basically where all the lines are, I want you to mark this in half over here.

---

Frame 46

This is where the line for the bottom of the chain is going to be,

---

Frame 47

this is where the pack muscles is, and this is basically where the needle is.

---

Frame 48

Right?

---

Frame 49

It's just divided in four different sections.

---

Frame 50

And over here, it's going to be the line for where the needs are supposed to be above,

---

Frame 51

these are going to be here, but this is that line.

---

Frame 52

So I want you to look, take a look at this grid over here.

---

Frame 53

Right?

---

Frame 54

So what we have to do is now use this knowledge to begin to draw this out in a 3.4.

---

Frame 55

I'm just going to move this here to the side over here.

---

Frame 56

Right?

---

Frame 57

And we're going to understand this on this section here.

---

Frame 58

Right?

---

Frame 59

So what we're going to do is draw this thing over here in 3D.

---

Frame 60

So to do that, here we can just draw out, actually I can just draw it on this paper over here.

---

Frame 61

Okay.

---

Frame 62

I'm going to draw from here, like this, a line like this.

---

Frame 63

Right?

---

Frame 64

I'm drawing a center line, which is the same center line here, this line here, I'm drawing

---

Frame 65

it out like this.

---

Frame 66

Okay?

---

Frame 67

Now I'm going to turn this into 3D, meaning we just basically make it going to perspective

---

Frame 68

like this, just like this.

---

Frame 69

Okay?

---

Frame 70

And here I'm just going to roughly say that this is how it's going to be in 3D.

---

Frame 71

That meaning that this section here that I'm drawing is going to be shorter and this is going

---

Frame 72

to be a little bit larger.

---

Frame 73

Right?

---

Frame 74

Just draw it in 3D, just like this, just roughly.

---

Frame 75

Because we really just need to be approximate this.

---

Frame 76

It's really the exercise to understand how this whole thing works.

---

Frame 77

So if I divide this line in half, which is going to be about here, really it's just going

---

Frame 78

to be a straight line.

---

Frame 79

Straight line is this line right here.

---

Frame 80

Okay?

---

Frame 81

Then if I divide this in half for the peg muscles, I'm going to go a little bit in perspective

---

Frame 82

in this way.

---

Frame 83

Right?

---

Frame 84

This is the line here again for the bottom of where the knees are supposed to be.

---

Frame 85

Right?

---

Frame 86

So this gives us like a 3D grid over here, exactly here.

---

Frame 87

And here I'm just going to do the same thing here for the bottom of the chin.

---

Frame 88

And this is where obviously the navel is supposed to be.

---

Frame 89

Right?

---

Frame 90

It's going to be just like this.

---

Frame 91

Like just rough it in.

---

Frame 92

No big deal.

---

Frame 93

Okay.

---

Frame 94

So once we have this, all we have to do is now translate this design over here so we can begin to understand

---

Frame 95

how this thing needs to be turned into 3D.

---

Frame 96

Right?

---

Frame 97

And this is where we're now getting, beginning our process, all beginning to develop a very good

---

Frame 98

understanding of the skeletal structure in 3D.

---

Frame 99

But we have to first do this exercise and you will see the power of this.

---

Frame 100

So all we have to do is now just look at this and say that, okay, well, when I did this,
