Frame 1

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 1

Hey guys, my name is Riven Phoenix and welcome to the structure of man, learn to draw the


Frame 2

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 2

human figure from your mind training course.


Frame 3

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 3

Okay, so in the previous lesson we went through the formulas again and we understood the inner


Frame 4

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 4

workings of the skull and we also discovered that the skull really sits on this axis that


Frame 5

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 5

allows it to give the correct proportions and as to how everything is divided.


Frame 6

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 6

So the formula we learned is really the design of the skull and this angle but it really


Frame 7

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 7

sits on this angle.


Frame 8

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 8

And there's a reason for doing it this way as we move through the course, you'll see


Frame 9

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 9

the beauty of this, as to how it allows us to really imprint in the mind the way the


Frame 10

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 10

got the mind to understand the figures so it could imprint it, right?


Frame 11

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 11

It's like these peg systems in memory management in understanding how to remember and understand


Frame 12

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 12

the form of the invention of the figure that we're creating from scratch.


Frame 13

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 13

So in this lesson what we want to do is we want to now begin to simplify the formulas,


Frame 14

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 14

right?


Frame 15

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 15

And what I'm getting at here is that we need to now slowly help the mind understand


Frame 16

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 16

that it has this information.


Frame 17

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 17

Now it really doesn't need to use some of these things that we're putting down, slowly


Frame 18

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 18

just get away from it so we can just draw the skull out on the fly.


Frame 19

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 19

Okay.


Frame 20

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 20

So to do that, what we're going to do is really just draw out a two dots over here and


Frame 21

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 21

really just draw out for now an x over here, I'm sorry, a plus sign, right?


Frame 22

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 22

So just sketch out like a plus sign here, just like this, just be sketchy about it, right?


Frame 23

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 23

And just measure with your pencil how it should, how the length really should be from


Frame 24

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 24

here to here and here I'm just going to elongate it just a little bit, right?


Frame 25

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 25

So and that's about it, right?


Frame 26

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 26

It's just a very sketchy style of this.


Frame 27

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 27

So we really don't even have to draw the box anymore, right?


Frame 28

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 28

It's going to be very simple because we can just eyeball everything.


Frame 29

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 29

So to start out, we know that obviously from in the sentence of the formula is that if


Frame 30

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 30

we start out from the center here, divide, divide up, we get the jaw line from here, from


Frame 31

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 31

here, we divide in half, divide in half, divide in half, we get the angle for the jaw, then


Frame 32

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 32

we know that we're going to come over here really in this area over here, just like this,


Frame 33

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 33

right?


Frame 34

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 34

So here you'll see how your understanding of the formulas is really just imprinting now.


Frame 35

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 35

And then the back of the skull was from here, once we know the center, we divide and then


Frame 36

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 36

come back up and we get the line for the back, this basically just coming near the center.


Frame 37

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 37

And then from here, we know that we need to divide this in half and divide this in half,


Frame 38

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 38

really just fine, then from here, divide and divide, we just need to know this line over


Frame 39

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 39

here, right?


Frame 40

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 40

So you could have just eyeballed this, looked at it from here, just a box, find the center


Frame 41

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 41

and come here and basically just start to curve and go in this direction like this.


Frame 42

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 42

Right, so here I'm just going to make this a little darker.


Frame 43

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 43

From the top, it's very easy, as long as we know the pinpoint area over here, right,


Frame 44

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 44

we just need to find the center of this whole box, come over here and we know that this


Frame 45

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 45

is just going to curve like this and over here, we find the center, go over here, we know


Frame 46

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 46

that it's going to come on the top, it's going to flat line over here, it's the same thing


Frame 47

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 47

from here to here, divide, divide, we know it's just going to stop over here, just like


Frame 48

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 48

this small flat area over here, then it's going to start to curve.


Frame 49

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 49

Now, from here, we know that we have to know this area over here, so it's really just


Frame 50

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 50

finding the center of this box over here, just pinpoint it, look at it, just divide


Frame 51

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 51

in half and you've got the line coming here and we already know that when we divide in


Frame 52

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 52

half, we have to go up right over here, so if we divide this in half, go up, we know


Frame 53

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 53

that it's going to just curve like this to give us that nice angle and it's going to


Frame 54

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 54

go in this direction over here, right, so this box over here, we know that it's really


Frame 55

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 55

just going to be this angle coming here and where this is, it's going to start to turn


Frame 56

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 56

and then over here, the mechanism for this is from here to here, we know the half of


Frame 57

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 57

this, we know the half of this, right, from here to here, we divide in half, divide


Frame 58

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 58

in half over here and divide and then basically that's it and then this gives us the angle


Frame 59

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 59

to go in this direction and basically we've got the skull down and for the eye socket it


Frame 60

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 60

was very simple, as long as we know this center point of this whole box over here, just


Frame 61

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 61

about when we divide this in half, we just know that we just need to make a circular


Frame 62

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 62

motion over here to make the eye socket, very easy, from here we know that there's going


Frame 63

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 63

to be a bone structure like this over here going in this direction just like this and


Frame 64

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 64

then from here we just need to really just connect the dot over here, so from here to


Frame 65

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 65

here, right, release just the center of this, center of this box now, going up, we know


Frame 66

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 66

that the jaw, sorry, the bottom of the cheek is going to be here, it's just going to


Frame 67

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 67

curve up and then where this dot is really just the center that gives us the jaw line


Frame 68

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 68

over here, right, and then over here we know, but obviously that when we divide this


Frame 69

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 69

in half and then go up over here and up one more, we're basically going to get that line,


Frame 70

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 70

it's going to come to the center of this just like this curvature, but so here you can


Frame 71

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 71

see that we're getting into that more artistic way of drawing out the skull, right, and that's


Frame 72

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 72

it, right, so depending on how you want to do this, right, you can create all different


Frame 73

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 73

variations of this skull, and the other thing was for the nose, we know that you can just


Frame 74

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 74

pull a line over here, right, this is the center of this and we know that from here where


Frame 75

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 75

this thing is, from here to here, when we know the center, when we go up, it's really


Frame 76

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 76

just going to be coming from here to here at this angle, it's going to give us the idea


Frame 77

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 77

for where the nose is over here and this is where the mouth is supposed to be, so really


Frame 78

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 78

you can just look at this, divide this in half, go up and you know that this is the line


Frame 79

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 79

for the skull, right, look how easy that was, right, and for the axis we know where this


Frame 80

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 80

center is over here, if we divide this and have we get the axis over here, from here,


Frame 81

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 81

I divide this in half over here, divide again, I get the axis over here, right, so here


Frame 82

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 82

I'm just going to take a piece of paper again, make sure this axis is lined up correctly,


Frame 83

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 83

and this is the axis where the skull will sit on just like this, right, so the cool thing


Frame 84

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 84

about this is that you can see just this with this information that you can start to even


Frame 85

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 85

create some kind of a character design if you want it to from this, right, just make it


Frame 86

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 86

on this angle over here and just start fiddling with it and creating some kind of a character


Frame 87

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 87

design, so the other thing that I want to show you here is really understanding where the


Frame 88

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 88

ear is supposed to be placed, right, so what we're doing is we're basically in micro bursts,


Frame 89

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 89

giving information to the mind, so it slowly just adjusts its thinking, right, so the way


Frame 90

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 90

the ear is going to be put on here, it's very simple, is that where this jaw line is,


Frame 91

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 91

basically you just pull the line over here, right, where this center is over here, and if you


Frame 92

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 92

divide this in half and go here, basically you're going to just make a curve like this, you're


Frame 93

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 93

going to come all the way down and over here, it's just going to meet the landing for how the


Frame 94

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 94

ear is supposed to be, right, so now if you look at this from here when it's facing this or you can


Frame 95

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 95

see how the ear also, see this angle as I showed you before, over here, to understanding how


Frame 96

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 96

portrait drawing is done is really just understanding that it's just split in half like this,


Frame 97

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 97

you can now see that if we look at this, that this here is, the top of the ear is always on the


Frame 98

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 98

top of the brow and the bottom of the ear is where the nose is, right, and this is something


Frame 99

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 99

that's very fundamental to understand as to how the ear is supposed to be, okay, so I will see


Frame 100

Figure Drawing - Figure Drawing Lesson 010 - The Formulas for the Side View of the Human Head - Phase 2 - Frame 100

you in the next lesson, thanks.
