Frame 202

And now I'm just going to clean up some of these ideas and really just make this.

---

Frame 203

And here is the line for the knee.

---

Frame 204

So obviously, you're going to be above this.

---

Frame 205

Just like this.

---

Frame 206

Right?

---

Frame 207

And over here, we can clean this up a little bit more for the feet.

---

Frame 208

That's what I'm drawing over here.

---

Frame 209

For the feet, I'm just going to make them just these ball like these oval shapes here.

---

Frame 210

It's for the hand.

---

Frame 211

And this is where the clavicle is going to be over here.

---

Frame 212

Right?

---

Frame 213

And this is over here.

---

Frame 214

When we draw this out, like this.

---

Frame 215

Right?

---

Frame 216

This is where the love handles supposed to be.

---

Frame 217

Right?

---

Frame 218

If the, if the needle is here, if we drew that line out, we know that the,

---

Frame 219

it's going to be roughly around here.

---

Frame 220

And this is where the love handles should be.

---

Frame 221

Right?

---

Frame 222

So you can see that when we draw it, it's just a rough, rough sketch.

---

Frame 223

Right?

---

Frame 224

But we pretty much winged it.

---

Frame 225

And we got to understand how to draw it in 3D.

---

Frame 226

So once we have this down, all we need to do is now train the mind to understand,

---

Frame 227

okay, what was with the things that it really should have understood?

---

Frame 228

Right?

---

Frame 229

We got it to look in 3D.

---

Frame 230

So if you look at this, right?

---

Frame 231

I'm going to make you notice something here.

---

Frame 232

Really important is that if you look at where the jaw is, right?

---

Frame 233

This is the jaw in here.

---

Frame 234

If I just shade this in, I'm going to shade all this in here.

---

Frame 235

Okay?

---

Frame 236

And then look at this space here.

---

Frame 237

Look at the negative space.

---

Frame 238

Look at this negative space here.

---

Frame 239

If we just looked at the black area here.

---

Frame 240

How this is in the front over here, right?

---

Frame 241

There's a line over here like this.

---

Frame 242

Here goes here.

---

Frame 243

So now you should know that when you're drawing it in 3D,

---

Frame 244

you've got to have that negative space over here also.

---

Frame 245

It's got to exist, right?

---

Frame 246

In this dimensional drawing.

---

Frame 247

So we know that that's what pushes the head out.

---

Frame 248

And this is always at an angle.

---

Frame 249

And we always have to understand that there's a space here.

---

Frame 250

Right?

---

Frame 251

So if I go like this in the whole thing,

---

Frame 252

see, all of this is just a negative space.

---

Frame 253

If I just made the lines go like this.

---

Frame 254

If I cut right through it.

---

Frame 255

Right?

---

Frame 256

So this is a technique to help the mind to see.

---

Frame 257

What it means to understand when it's drawing this in free hand.

---

Frame 258

Right?

---

Frame 259

And over here, we said,

---

Frame 260

we really just need to do an imaginary line.

---

Frame 261

So when we do this,

---

Frame 262

we know that there's also a negative space right here.

---

Frame 263

Right?

---

Frame 264

There's a negative space right here.

---

Frame 265

So you know that this guy here is going to curve into the cross.

---

Frame 266

Curve into the cross.

---

Frame 267

And here for the back,

---

Frame 268

where this is, right?

---

Frame 269

If I look at this back here,

---

Frame 270

I know that from the back view,

---

Frame 271

I'm going to get that curve in the back,

---

Frame 272

which I'm not going to draw it here.

---

Frame 273

But this helps you to understand how this is all working in 3D.

---

Frame 274

And if you look at this area here,

---

Frame 275

just examine it on your drawing.

---

Frame 276

That over here from the back,

---

Frame 277

it's going to be like this.

---

Frame 278

Right?

---

Frame 279

So what this means is that now when we draw its free hand,

---

Frame 280

without really measuring anything out,

---

Frame 281

with any grades or really anything,

---

Frame 282

we should be able to draw this figure in 3D without much effort

---

Frame 283

because we understand this negative space here.

---

Frame 284

Right?

---

Frame 285

There's a negative shape here, here, here.

---

Frame 286

These are like these fundamental key concepts.

---

Frame 287

We don't have to worry about this because,

---

Frame 288

well, this doesn't matter.

---

Frame 289

Right?

---

Frame 290

Because when we do the muscles,

---

Frame 291

they will understand anyways.

---

Frame 292

But these are the fundamental areas here to understand

---

Frame 293

when drawing your toolkit in 3D.

---

Frame 294

Right?
