Frame 69
is, you basically just map it out here and once you pull those lines you always get the
Frame 70
angles based on reality giving your figures a very realistic look, right?
Frame 71
What I'm showing you here is artistic thinking, right?
Frame 72
The power of artistic thinking that we usually don't see when the artist is drawing out figures.
Frame 73
So having understood this, let's take a look at some other drawings here from Da Vinci.
Frame 74
So here's obviously a study of Da Vinci is doing of the human structure, right?
Frame 75
So these drawings he did them from in actual carcass, right?
Frame 76
Back in those days they didn't have anatomical books, they didn't have the amazing software
Frame 77
products that we have that allows us to see a complete structure of where everything connects.
Frame 78
In those times he had to actually get a dead carcass, skin him and look at each muscle and
Frame 79
do all his studies, right?
Frame 80
So he was really the only person who's really now looked at us a master of anatomy because
Frame 81
he was the guy who really took the bow by his horn and really started documenting this
Frame 82
to us to what he was discovering, meaning that when he's going through this process, right?
Frame 83
Because he was really the only person doing this in a very secret way.
Frame 84
Every time he documented this, from his point of view, it was seen as an invention idea,
Frame 85
right?
Frame 86
Because it's like an alien world to him, so every time he understands, okay, if the
Frame 87
deltoid and the biceps go here, he understands the connection points and how everything
Frame 88
is connected, right?
Frame 89
And this is the thing that we are missing is because we have so much information and
Frame 90
we have to go, we have to basically go back in time and do exactly what David cheated.
Frame 91
So here we'll just take a look at other drawings here.
Frame 92
Here's a study of a skeleton, you'll see that he's just doing the same thing, he understands
Frame 93
where everything goes.
Frame 94
And if you look closely, you can see like these small hint of grid lines that he's put
Frame 95
on because he understands exactly where everything goes here, right?
Frame 96
So he's really the go-to guy if you wanted to understand anatomy, right?
Frame 97
So he's coming up with his own systems, just like we are, right?
Frame 98
So here we came up with the 8-head formula, how everything is connected, and you can see
Frame 99
that these are hints of these lines as to how they're done.
Frame 100
And just to prove that, here's another drawing from the venting, you can see this line
Frame 101
going right down this figure, right?
Frame 102
It goes right straight down the gravity line, and he puts that line in the middle for the
Frame 103
crotch as to where it divides, right?
Frame 104
And you can see these hints of these lines again that David is doing, right?
Frame 105
Exactly what we've been doing all along in these studies that we did, right?
Frame 106
So we know that this is what I'm showing you, the concept of invention, we know that
Frame 107
it's been done by artists, but unfortunately, it really hasn't been documented ever by any
Frame 108
artists, even from that time, all right?
Frame 109
So this process really is also a proof of concept that what these artists went through, that
Frame 110
when we go through this exercise, that what DeVinci is seeing is obviously going to be true
Frame 111
over here also.
Frame 112
And here's just another drawing of DeVinci where he's using the concept of invention, where
Frame 113
he's put the human skeleton now, he's just understanding, okay, how does each muscle
Frame 114
connect?
Frame 115
So look how he puts all these muscles and tendons together, because he just wants to
Frame 116
understand how things connect, in his mind, it's like a mammary mat system, and again,
Frame 117
more notes over here, and once he's understood this, he's doing like these quick sketches of
Frame 118
the human head, of the skeleton structure, and he's putting like these muscles over here,
Frame 119
right?
Frame 120
To understand this, what I just showed you, all the stuff here is basically how we will
Frame 121
now begin our journey into understanding the entire human skeleton structure, right?
Frame 122
So just to make sure we all understand, what is it that we're trying to do here, is that
Frame 123
let's take DeVinci here, right?
Frame 124
So this is going to be DeVinci over here, and this is going to be us over here.
Frame 125
So let's just imagine that we are both starting our journey as artists into mastering the human
Frame 126
figure, right?
Frame 127
So we already know that DeVinci, when he went through his path, right?
Frame 128
He got access to dead carcasses, right, and from that, he began to understand and document
Frame 129
and draw out how every muscle and skeleton structure was constructed, right?
Frame 130
So his experience here was really an alien experience.
Frame 131
What I mean by that is that it's something that he's never seen before ever in his life.
Frame 132
So as soon as he starts looking at it, dissecting it, he's so excited about it, that everything
Frame 133
is imprinting in his mind, and he basically ends up mastering the structure of the human
Frame 134
figure down to the level of surface anatomy.
Frame 135
So the problem here with us is that we just have too much information available in today's
