Frame 1
Hey guys, my name is Riven Phoenix and welcome to the start-up of man learn to draw the human
Frame 2
figure from your mind training course.
Frame 3
So in the previous lesson we pretty much have now proved that the training process that
Frame 4
we are taking the mind through in understanding figure drawing is paying off it because
Frame 5
we were able to do all these different styles of drawing of the human skull in all these
Frame 6
different angles, proving the concept to what Da Vinci is really saying about the power
Frame 7
of formulas, and within that what we are doing is really taking his concept and then looking
Frame 8
at the process of cognitive thinking how really the mind really needs like this story
Frame 9
that it needs to go through to understand figure drawing, we are taking all the fuzzy
Frame 10
areas out in figure drawing so when you are drawing it out it doesn't question it, right?
Frame 11
It has this really deep down understanding of the figure.
Frame 12
It's the same thing as it you have gone to let's say your four year school of learning
Frame 13
about art and when you are creating those paintings in the back of your mind you know
Frame 14
all the experience that you went through in your class how the teacher told you how to
Frame 15
do things how to correct your mistakes, how to understand color, how to understand
Frame 16
drawing in your life drawing classes, right?
Frame 17
It's just deep story when you are drawing it out.
Frame 18
So in this sense what we are seeing is that this process that we are going through in
Frame 19
this course which is the structure of man is really the story of the human figure that
Frame 20
we are embedding in the mind, right?
Frame 21
It's again comes down to the process of these peg systems in memory management as to how
Frame 22
we are connecting the dots as we how we started out with a blueprint then created a story
Frame 23
one by one through the lessons so we could get to this point, right?
Frame 24
So you should really give yourself a pattern of back to be able to have come to this point
Frame 25
from let's say if you didn't know how to draw the human skull to be able to do this.
Frame 26
So now what I'm going to show you is I'm going to introduce you to the forms of the human
Frame 27
figure, right?
Frame 28
We're really just done with this area of the skull but I need to show you this area here
Frame 29
is because I want you to get to the use to the idea is what does it mean to understand
Frame 30
the forms of the human figure.
Frame 31
So if we take a look at Michelangelo, right, if you look at Michelangelo, right?
Frame 32
In his studies, remember he burned all the studies so we only have only a handful of them
Frame 33
to understand but if you look at his studies, right, through his studies we could state
Frame 34
in this artistic thinking that what he's getting at is that the mastery of the human figure
Frame 35
not only is understanding the complete structure of how the bones are put together because
Frame 36
you can see it's obvious over here, right?
Frame 37
And not only understanding all the muscles, but also the surface anatomy.
Frame 38
And the surface anatomy will come from understanding the forms of the human figure, how the planes
Frame 39
of the human figure play around on the human body, right?
Frame 40
So what this means is that if you look at the bench, right, again, all the stuff that
Frame 41
I'm seeing, right, you've got to keep in mind that this is all artistic thinking, it's
Frame 42
thinking out loud.
Frame 43
It means absolutely nothing to us.
Frame 44
It's not something that we religiously believe in these ideas, right?
Frame 45
We just want the mind to go through this process of thinking.
Frame 46
It's very, I want to be clear about this, that all the stuff that I'm showing you here,
Frame 47
this is called artistic thinking, that's what's allowing us to be able to draw the skull
Frame 48
in such, make such rapid progressing in figure drawing because we can use the part of artistic
Frame 49
thinking to help it understand, right?
Frame 50
So over here, see where DaVinci has done this drawing, but over here he's showing the
Frame 51
formals because he's getting to a point here, obviously, right?
Frame 52
He's showing that the power formulas will give you an obvious statement, obvious meaning
Frame 53
that what that means is when you're drawing up the figures like this, right, when we draw
Frame 54
up the skull, like if we were drawing out this before without understanding it, right,
Frame 55
we would have to look at something and draw it out, but because we created all the formulas
Frame 56
and understood it, it becomes an obvious statement, meaning that when DaVinci is drawing
Frame 57
it in his mind, right, what's happening is that when he's drawing these angles out,
Frame 58
the human figure like this, see the bones and all this, in his mind it is obvious that
Frame 59
this is how it's going to be, the design of the face is going to be like this and it's
Frame 60
obvious that there's a line over here, the muscle area over here and it's obvious that
Frame 61
the neck looks like this, right, the entire body, right?
Frame 62
So if you look at the first drawing that I did in the beginning of these lessons, this
Frame 63
going here, what I was showing you is that the proof of what DaVinci was saying in that
Frame 64
drawing, right, when I was drawing this out in that process of drawing, it is obvious
Frame 65
that this is how the figure is going to look like, right, because the mind has enough
Frame 66
experience of this, right, I think you understand what I'm getting at in the concept of what
Frame 67
figure drawing is, what the mastery straight really looks like, everything just becomes obvious
Frame 68
to you that obviously this is what the shoulder is going to look like, this is how the lines
Frame 69
are going to be, right, but without the actual knowledge of understanding the structure of
Frame 70
the toolkit and all the muscles, how they're supposed to be, you cannot get to that statement
Frame 71
that obviously is going to look like this, right?
Frame 72
So to magnify that point that I'm making about these obvious statements is that now let's
Frame 73
do use the same concept in drawing at the skull and look at the forms, right?
Frame 74
So here I'm just going to show you a very simple template idea here.
Frame 75
So let's say that this is going to be the, let's say an idea here for the head over
Frame 76
here.
Frame 77
Just same thing as I, as if I'm drawing the human head here in a three-fourth's view,
Frame 78
okay?
Frame 79
Here I'm just going to draw it out like this and I'm going to do this line over here and
Frame 80
I'm going to obviously do this jaw over here, right?
Frame 81
Because it's obvious that it is coming from here, right?
Frame 82
This is what I'm getting at.
Frame 83
So when you, when we know that this is going to be the center for the eye line over here,
Frame 84
right?
Frame 85
And this is where the whole skull will develop.
Frame 86
So if you look at the forms, the forms are going to be basically like this.
Frame 87
This is the top of your brow area over here, right?
Frame 88
So first I'm going to show you the forms here and over here, because we know how this
