Frame 295

We already trained the mind to see how to take a 2D drawing

---

Frame 296

and turn it into 3D.

---

Frame 297

So now let's test this out.

---

Frame 298

So now the question is,

---

Frame 299

how do I draw it in 3D without making a straight line?

---

Frame 300

Well, we can look at this and just say,

---

Frame 301

well, I mean, look at where this line is.

---

Frame 302

So if you just drew this line like this,

---

Frame 303

a line like this,

---

Frame 304

you know that you're going to get the face here

---

Frame 305

and the chest cavity over here.

---

Frame 306

Now, again, when we,

---

Frame 307

when you're going through this exercise

---

Frame 308

that I'm going to show you next,

---

Frame 309

it's really just drawing it out

---

Frame 310

and just looking at the lesson over and over.

---

Frame 311

This section of the lesson,

---

Frame 312

but it's really this line here.

---

Frame 313

I don't have to worry about any of this

---

Frame 314

because I know how this curves.

---

Frame 315

Right?

---

Frame 316

I just looked at the negative space.

---

Frame 317

Right?

---

Frame 318

So if I drew this, I could just do like a curve here.

---

Frame 319

Right?

---

Frame 320

If I drew a curve here,

---

Frame 321

just like this,

---

Frame 322

I can look that this is where

---

Frame 323

half of this is just the legs anyways.

---

Frame 324

Right? So when I draw it like this,

---

Frame 325

I can just do the legs in this way here.

---

Frame 326

I'm going to do this drawing a little more smaller.

---

Frame 327

But let me just show you that this is what I did over here.

---

Frame 328

You know, over here,

---

Frame 329

I can just look at this.

---

Frame 330

This is the height.

---

Frame 331

Right? I know that the head is going to be here, obviously.

---

Frame 332

Right? If the head is going to be here,

---

Frame 333

I know that the chest,

---

Frame 334

I have, right?

---

Frame 335

It's the negative space over here.

---

Frame 336

And that's it, really.

---

Frame 337

And then you can just draw out the chest cavity,

---

Frame 338

and you're done.

---

Frame 339

And basically, we can just draw out,

---

Frame 340

let's see, a hand over here,

---

Frame 341

I'm just sketching it out, just showing you

---

Frame 342

how this can be understood,

---

Frame 343

and you can clean up your drawings as you move along.

---

Frame 344

And basically, that's it.

---

Frame 345

We can just now,

---

Frame 346

right, just roughing the ideas,

---

Frame 347

just like this.

---

Frame 348

Right? So we were able to sketch it out.

---

Frame 349

When we're sketching it out, we know exactly,

---

Frame 350

we're sketching it out.

---

Frame 351

So I'm showing you.

---

Frame 352

Right? So now if I wanted to clean this up,

---

Frame 353

I can just go through my drawing process,

---

Frame 354

and now erase some of these lines here.

---

Frame 355

Right? These anomalies,

---

Frame 356

because this is really just the first model.

---

Frame 357

So now when I come in here,

---

Frame 358

I know that this is just going to be a circle over here,

---

Frame 359

like this.

---

Frame 360

Right? It's going to be like this.

---

Frame 361

And this is the head, just like that.

---

Frame 362

It's going to be the opening of the head,

---

Frame 363

because I understand about the negative space over here.

---

Frame 364

And then over here, I'm just going to go like this,

---

Frame 365

because right in the mind,

---

Frame 366

you know that in the back, what's going on,

---

Frame 367

you know, in the front, what's going on.

---

Frame 368

Right? And then you can just

---

Frame 369

meet your drawing,

---

Frame 370

it's like this.

---

Frame 371

But notice that when we did this,

---

Frame 372

all we really had to do was look at the height of the figure.

---

Frame 373

We know this is divided in half.

---

Frame 374

We know that from here to here in 3D,

---

Frame 375

the knees are going to be above this, obviously.

---

Frame 376

Right? And then when you remember,

---

Frame 377

you're never attached to any of these lines.

---

Frame 378

You can just keep improving it,

---

Frame 379

and doing whatever you want with it.

---

Frame 380

And really here, I know that from here to here,

---

Frame 381

right from here to here,

---

Frame 382

I know that the navel is going to be here,

---

Frame 383

so I can just see that's exactly what that area is.

---

Frame 384

That over here, it's on the other side.

---

Frame 385

And that gives us a three-dimensional understanding of this.

---

Frame 386

Right? So this was like the discovery process that we went through.

---

Frame 387

Now we don't have to understand this in so much detail.

---

Frame 388

Remember when you come back,

---

Frame 389

when you come back to do these drawings like this,

---

Frame 390

you will be able to draw them without any effort,

---

Frame 391

because you understand everything about it,

---

Frame 392

the whole puzzle structure.

---

Frame 393

But again, the most important part of this,

---

Frame 394

when I'm showing you,

---

Frame 395

is that the process that we went through

---

Frame 396

to understand things using a concept of formulas.

---

Frame 397

The only reason we use the formulas was to force the mind to see,

---

Frame 398

but then we left the formulas behind and just threw a free hand,

---

Frame 399

because it's all about understanding where these negative shapes are,

---

Frame 400

what causes all these angles?

---

Frame 401

Right? Only in this idea here.

---

Frame 402

Obviously, when we draw out the actual figure in 3D form,

---

Frame 403

we would know even more.

---

Frame 404

Okay? So it's a process of thinking.

---

Frame 405

Right? So to finish this off,

---

Frame 406

this lesson got a little long,

---

Frame 407

but to finish this off,

---

Frame 408

let's say if we did another pose here,

---

Frame 409

let's say if I draw a line like this,
