Frame 120
to be, it's very simple, where the center, where this is, and this is, it's just this
Frame 121
line.
Frame 122
From this point here, we're just going to curve it slightly, and this will now give you
Frame 123
the jaw definition of the jaw, this is very easy, right?
Frame 124
And now here, where this is, we know that there's supposed to be a line over here, obviously,
Frame 125
right?
Frame 126
That goes in this direction.
Frame 127
To figure that out, we just said, okay, from here to here, when we find the center,
Frame 128
we go up, then we can go up just a little more, and this will give us the line here, and
Frame 129
then the center of this is really where it comes, the center of this box, it's where
Frame 130
it's going to come, and it's just going to be like this, and this is like these features
Frame 131
of the human skull.
Frame 132
Okay, so the only thing left is really the mouth and the nose.
Frame 133
Now we know that obviously in the, our invention that we're creating of the skull, that there's
Frame 134
going to be a cut for the nose, but we don't have to worry about that at this moment,
Frame 135
it's because we will look at that when we look at the front.
Frame 136
But what I want you to know is that when, when you have this line here, basically you
Frame 137
can just pull a very simple nose out in this direction, and where you are over here,
Frame 138
this is the center of this, right?
Frame 139
So if you divide this, this line here in half and go up, and basically this gives you
Frame 140
the, the line for where the nose should be.
Frame 141
So what I did was from here to here, I divided this divided in up, and from here I pulled
Frame 142
the line touching this line, so this gives me the angle to where the nose is supposed
Frame 143
to be.
Frame 144
Right, so this sets us up to where the mouth is supposed to be, the mouth is going to
Frame 145
be where we had divided this in half, this is the beginning for the mouth, and from here
Frame 146
to here, if I divide this in half and divide up, this is the line for where the mouth is
Frame 147
supposed to be on the skull, right?
Frame 148
This is so simple that it's just amazing that what Devinji is saying in his, through
Frame 149
his studies, right, he's stating this through his studies, that once you start looking at
Frame 150
the figures and coming up with their own formulas, that your understanding of the figure
Frame 151
is just going to skyrocket, right, just as it is over here.
Frame 152
So now I'm just going to show you something extra over here that you should be aware of.
Frame 153
This is the formula that we've been looking at for that skull, right?
Frame 154
We've simplified it enough so we understand it's just a very simple sentence, and you
Frame 155
should be looking at this video over and over so you understand how simple it is.
Frame 156
The idea is not to memorize these, you don't really have to memorize this because we will
Frame 157
simplify this, but you can see that it's so simple that you're just going to remember
Frame 158
the many things.
Frame 159
So the thing I want to show you is that when you're here on the center, right, here we
Frame 160
have the center of this, we divided this in half, this, if you divide this in half, I
Frame 161
just want you to put a line over here, do the same thing here, from here to here I'm
Frame 162
going to divide in half, then I'm going to divide here, put a line over here.
Frame 163
So basically I want to connect from this line to this line, I want to do a connection
Frame 164
over here.
Frame 165
So for this, I'm just going to use a piece of paper because this line is kind of long
Frame 166
here.
Frame 167
So from here to here, I'm just going to pull a line over here, I just want to show you
Frame 168
something, okay, so this line here, the we're pulling, it's really going to be the axis
Frame 169
of the human skull, right, so meaning that if you look at this, when a person is looking
Frame 170
at you, right, they're not going to be looking at you really in this direction here because
Frame 171
the nose is to what, they actually are going to be looking at you like this into a straight
Frame 172
line, in that if I make this line straight on the camera, you can see this is really how
Frame 173
the human skull is when it looks straight at a person.
Frame 174
So what this means is that if you now, from here, use this line here and make this like
Frame 175
or I'm just showing you as an extra thing here, I'm going to make this a 90 degrees angle,
Frame 176
right, so I'm taking this line over here, I'm just showing you something, I'm going to
Frame 177
make this a 90 degree angle over here and then where this chin is, I'm going to make
Frame 178
also, we do it this way, right, so this is the 90 degree angle over here like this.
Frame 179
So you'll notice that if we take this, right, and divide this in half is going to be
Frame 180
about here, this gives you the center of the human head just like this, right, so this
Frame 181
is why when you're learning about portrait drawings and you read documentation on drawing
Frame 182
the head, you'll notice that it's always stated that the head from the eye to the bottom
Frame 183
of the chin is exactly the same height as the top and this is why, because the skull
Frame 184
is sitting on this angle, right, this is a fascinating information to understand how
Frame 185
this why this was, right, so you can understand where this information is really coming from.
Frame 186
If you had to talk about this and tell somebody about it, you can explain to them, this is
Frame 187
what's really causing it, this is why it's always divided, the eyes always in the middle,
Frame 188
this is why the nose is just, it's not all horizontal, it's just on a slight angle above
Frame 189
and it's facing that way, okay, so I just want you to keep this in the back of your mind
Frame 190
on this concept over here.
Frame 191
So I'll see you in the next lesson, thanks.
