WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.557 --> 00:00:10.467 Animation Commons Human Body Proportions and Simple Pose Drawing 2 00:00:10.467 --> 00:00:13.022 GCC Academy 3 00:00:25.406 --> 00:00:29.653 Hello, I’m Kang Ji won, and I’ll be teaching the basic drawing course 4 00:00:29.653 --> 00:00:31.703 In this lesson, we will learn about 5 00:00:31.703 --> 00:00:35.148 human body proportions and simple material drawing 6 00:00:35.148 --> 00:00:37.698 First, we will learn about the characteristics of 7 00:00:37.698 --> 00:00:41.039 basic human body proportions that are most commonly used in art 8 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.208 Next, we will learn about the lines commonly used when depicting the human body 9 00:00:46.208 --> 00:00:49.358 Finally, we will learn the technique of croquis 10 00:00:49.358 --> 00:00:51.307 based on the lines of the human body 11 00:00:51.667 --> 00:00:55.617 Characteristics of Basic Human Body Proportions 12 00:00:56.633 --> 00:01:00.533 In the previous lesson, we explained the principles of drawing 13 00:01:00.533 --> 00:01:03.871 and the characteristics of symbolic expressions, including basic lines and planes 14 00:01:03.871 --> 00:01:07.071 In animation, comics, and all types of drawing 15 00:01:07.071 --> 00:01:10.208 what are the most commonly drawn shapes? 16 00:01:10.208 --> 00:01:11.908 The answer is a person 17 00:01:11.908 --> 00:01:16.109 The human figure is something that is frequently drawn 18 00:01:16.109 --> 00:01:21.069 but the deeper you delve into it 19 00:01:21.069 --> 00:01:24.019 but the deeper you delve into it 20 00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:28.366 Let’s apply the lines we learned earlier to the human body and see how they are used 21 00:01:28.366 --> 00:01:33.356 First, I will explain the basic human body proportions 22 00:01:33.356 --> 00:01:37.000 Human body proportions are often studied based on the 8-heads tall standard 23 00:01:40.752 --> 00:01:43.574 I will explain using the 8 heads tall human body as the basis 24 00:01:46.564 --> 00:01:53.732 First, let’s designate the areas at the top and bottom 25 00:01:53.732 --> 00:02:00.082 And with the 8-heads proportion, we can divide it into two parts 26 00:02:00.082 --> 00:02:02.297 with four parts above and four parts below 27 00:02:04.653 --> 00:02:09.803 f we split it in half, the lower half is the legs 28 00:02:09.803 --> 00:02:12.911 and the upper half, from the head to here, is the torso 29 00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:21.880 If we split it in half again at the center 30 00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:27.880 The upper half is divided at the chest level 31 00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:34.505 The lower half is also divided exactly at the center of the legs, at the knee level 32 00:02:37.871 --> 00:02:41.893 If we split the first section again 33 00:02:45.021 --> 00:02:47.571 So, in order, it would look like this 34 00:02:47.571 --> 00:02:51.971 Head, Chest, Iliac crest (start of the pelvis), Bottom of the pelvis order 35 00:02:51.971 --> 00:02:55.721 Upper thigh two thirds, Knee, Achilles tendon 36 00:02:55.721 --> 00:02:58.000 bottom of the feet order 37 00:02:59.931 --> 00:03:03.981 And the width of the shoulders is 38 00:03:03.981 --> 00:03:06.231 about the same as three heads placed side by side 39 00:03:06.231 --> 00:03:10.131 Like this, one head would fit on 40 00:03:10.131 --> 00:03:13.218 each side of the head, extending the width of the shoulders 41 00:03:13.218 --> 00:03:16.318 This ratio is not an absolute truth 42 00:03:16.318 --> 00:03:18.618 of course this is 8 heads proportion 43 00:03:18.618 --> 00:03:21.396 and in reality, most people are around 6 to 7 heads tall 44 00:03:24.425 --> 00:03:27.075 Since everyone has different body types 45 00:03:27.075 --> 00:03:29.925 the idealized 8-heads proportion 46 00:03:29.925 --> 00:03:32.713 which is often presented as the standard in studies 47 00:03:34.356 --> 00:03:37.280 Now, shall we take a closer look at the detailed positions? 48 00:03:39.366 --> 00:03:41.951 From torso to collarbone 49 00:03:41.951 --> 00:03:48.051 The collarbone can be positioned by dividing the space 50 00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:51.564 between the top of the head, the chin, and the chest into three equal parts 51 00:03:51.564 --> 00:03:57.084 And if it is positioned at approximately this one third mark, it is in the ideal location 52 00:03:58.109 --> 00:04:03.238 The position of the clavicle is quite important, so make sure to memorize it 53 00:04:03.238 --> 00:04:10.000 The ribs are located exactly at the halfway point 54 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.049 between the chest and the iliac crest 55 00:04:15.049 --> 00:04:19.198 Another important point is that the elbow is typically aligned with the position of the ribs 56 00:04:19.198 --> 00:04:22.178 If you place your elbow against your body 57 00:04:22.178 --> 00:04:27.000 you’ll notice that it aligns perfectly with the end of your ribs 58 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:35.238 Also, the upper arm and lower arm are in a 1:1 ratio in terms of length 59 00:04:35.238 --> 00:04:40.396 The arm is divided into two equal parts at the elbow 60 00:04:40.396 --> 00:04:43.683 If we shift to the side view 61 00:04:43.683 --> 00:04:46.083 the shoulder is positioned slightly 62 00:04:46.083 --> 00:04:48.376 behind the center of the body 63 00:04:48.376 --> 00:04:51.743 Please remember this position as well 64 00:04:51.743 --> 00:04:54.257 and the leg 65 00:04:54.257 --> 00:04:56.644 The lower leg, calf, is longer than the thigh 66 00:05:00.861 --> 00:05:06.446 Typically, the thigh is about 4 units in length, while the calf is about 3 units 67 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.723 The starting point of the knee is around the 2/3 line of the thigh 68 00:05:14.723 --> 00:05:20.277 and the knee's end is positioned about halfway between this line 69 00:05:21.636 --> 00:05:22.636 This line here 70 00:05:24.634 --> 00:05:28.564 So, the length of the knee would be about 0.5 heads in proportion 71 00:05:28.564 --> 00:05:29.528 about this much 72 00:05:31.396 --> 00:05:33.241 Now, the fingertips are located 73 00:05:35.746 --> 00:05:41.000 about two-thirds of the way down from the pubic bone to the thigh 74 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.465 roughly at the halfway point between these two lines 75 00:05:46.465 --> 00:05:49.515 located about one-third of the way down the thigh 76 00:05:51.842 --> 00:05:54.092 Since arm lengths are generally similar 77 00:05:54.092 --> 00:05:56.000 in proportion for most people 78 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000 this can be considered a fixed rule, much like the length of the elbow 79 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.584 If the arms are longer than this proportion, they would look like gorilla’s arms 80 00:06:03.584 --> 00:06:12.357 The start of the instep is positioned slightly lower 81 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.000 than halfway between the Achilles tendon and the tips of the toes 82 00:06:22.366 --> 00:06:26.881 Based on this explanation 83 00:06:26.881 --> 00:06:30.337 the line would be positioned like this 84 00:06:30.337 --> 00:06:33.000 Make sure to remember this framework 85 00:06:37.237 --> 00:06:40.733 The human figure drawn earlier is based on this skeletal framework 86 00:06:40.733 --> 00:06:44.653 When starting the initial sketch, it's a good idea to begin with this skeleton structure 87 00:06:44.653 --> 00:06:47.554 I will explain the process of how to draw it step by step 88 00:06:51.148 --> 00:06:53.448 To draw that skeletal framework 89 00:06:53.448 --> 00:06:57.336 it's important to first understand the curves of the human body 90 00:06:57.336 --> 00:07:00.186 So, in this session, let's learn a bit about 91 00:07:00.186 --> 00:07:02.416 the curves of the human body 92 00:07:02.416 --> 00:07:07.535 First, let's take a look at the shape of the torso from the side 93 00:07:10.168 --> 00:07:13.168 If you look at the two shapes marked here 94 00:07:16.535 --> 00:07:20.772 you can see that they gradually become thicker as they go downward 95 00:07:22.713 --> 00:07:26.049 and they are slightly tilted backward, forming an oval shape 96 00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:33.000 The pelvis, on the other hand, is in the shape of an oval that tilts slightly forward 97 00:07:34.861 --> 00:07:37.485 You can draw the pelvis as an oval shape 98 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:42.396 or as a box like form 99 00:07:48.554 --> 00:07:52.822 Now, let's take a look at the curves from the front view 100 00:07:52.822 --> 00:07:57.653 The curves of the human body generally follow an S-shape 101 00:07:57.653 --> 00:08:00.554 A common mistake for beginners is 102 00:08:00.554 --> 00:08:03.954 focusing only on drawing exaggerated 103 00:08:03.954 --> 00:08:06.436 balloon like curves to express muscles 104 00:08:06.436 --> 00:08:08.336 These overly bumpy shapes can often 105 00:08:08.336 --> 00:08:11.515 make the figure look more like a Michelin tire character 106 00:08:11.515 --> 00:08:15.010 It’s best to avoid muscle shapes that resemble padding 107 00:08:15.010 --> 00:08:18.406 and instead focus on understanding the flowing curves of the human body first 108 00:08:22.337 --> 00:08:25.337 What makes up the main part of the action? 109 00:08:27.307 --> 00:08:29.307 It is the arms and legs 110 00:08:30.178 --> 00:08:33.247 Let's first take a look at the curves of the arms and legs 111 00:08:34.297 --> 00:08:36.762 Let's first look at the outer side of the arm 112 00:08:37.683 --> 00:08:40.366 First, the deltoid muscle comes out like this 113 00:08:42.614 --> 00:08:45.089 And next, the triceps 114 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.743 It goes inward 115 00:08:50.861 --> 00:08:54.495 However, in the case of someone with more muscle 116 00:08:54.495 --> 00:08:58.416 as you can feel by looking at this muscle diagram 117 00:08:58.416 --> 00:09:00.307 there is a slight bulge here as well 118 00:09:02.436 --> 00:09:06.426 But for an average person 119 00:09:06.426 --> 00:09:09.000 this area goes in quite deeply 120 00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.317 It goes all the way down to the elbow and then comes back out 121 00:09:16.445 --> 00:09:18.822 so about two thirds of the arm 122 00:09:18.822 --> 00:09:23.188 And the position up to the wrist 123 00:09:23.188 --> 00:09:26.436 which makes up about one third of the arm, also goes in 124 00:09:26.436 --> 00:09:28.000 And then the hand is positioned 125 00:09:29.782 --> 00:09:32.010 Shall we take a look at the legs as well? 126 00:09:32.010 --> 00:09:38.317 The outer side of the leg comes out at the pelvis 127 00:09:42.307 --> 00:09:44.941 slightly bulges out at the top of the thigh 128 00:09:46.881 --> 00:09:49.584 then dips in as you go down 129 00:09:52.238 --> 00:09:55.822 If it bends around that 2/3 point 130 00:09:59.337 --> 00:10:02.723 it looks the most similar 131 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.930 And the lower part of the thigh 132 00:10:10.930 --> 00:10:13.960 about one-third, definitely goes in 133 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.477 And it continues in until it reaches the knee 134 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.979 It slightly bulges out again at the calf 135 00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:28.729 The calf makes up about two-thirds of the lower leg 136 00:10:28.729 --> 00:10:32.129 The Achilles tendon and ankle 137 00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:35.952 which make up about one third of the lower leg, gently curve in 138 00:10:35.952 --> 00:10:38.137 And that position would be where the foot is 139 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.350 Usually, even with just this marking 140 00:10:44.350 --> 00:10:47.250 it creates a believable curve of the human body 141 00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:50.387 Shall we now complete the other side and draw the human body? 142 00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:56.496 If you look at the inner side of the arm, it starts from the armpit 143 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:03.640 The armpit is right at the opposite end of the deltoid muscle 144 00:11:03.640 --> 00:11:09.147 Next, the biceps area, meaning the arm up to the elbow 145 00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:18.487 When there's muscle, it bulges out like this 146 00:11:18.487 --> 00:11:23.668 but when it's lean, if it gently dips in here 147 00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:27.865 it looks more stable 148 00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:35.490 If this were drawn with an inward curve 149 00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:39.559 then the elbow area would simply be omitted like this 150 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.859 If drawn with an outward curve 151 00:11:41.859 --> 00:11:46.199 it’s better to have the elbow area slightly dip in 152 00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:52.358 And the upper part of the arm comes out 153 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.580 while about half of the forearm 154 00:11:58.580 --> 00:11:59.975 including the wrist, dips in again 155 00:12:05.199 --> 00:12:09.549 The area around the wrist is almost a straight line 156 00:12:09.549 --> 00:12:12.174 Next, the hand comes out in the same way 157 00:12:14.389 --> 00:12:16.394 Let's take a look at the inner side of the leg as well 158 00:12:19.532 --> 00:12:28.418 The adductor muscle, which is about half of the leg, slightly bulges out 159 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.120 And the lower half of this area goes in 160 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.920 It slightly dips in again 161 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:45.579 But here, it's also called the sartorius muscle 162 00:12:45.579 --> 00:12:49.600 There is a muscle that slightly bulges out here 163 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.657 Because of this, sometimes the muscle's shape 164 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.637 is expressed like this 165 00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:07.944 If you express it like this, it adds a bit more vitality 166 00:13:11.646 --> 00:13:20.146 And for the knee, you can continue the outward curve 167 00:13:20.146 --> 00:13:23.546 from above and draw it so that it bulges out 168 00:13:23.546 --> 00:13:27.039 to the end of the knee 169 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.476 Also, the area between the knee and calf slightly dips in 170 00:13:33.941 --> 00:13:37.817 then bulges out again at the shin 171 00:13:40.880 --> 00:13:42.926 and then let's divide this into five equal parts 172 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.787 If this is the 2/5 point here 173 00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:54.757 Now, if the length up to the ankle is divided into 2/5 174 00:13:54.757 --> 00:13:58.507 the Achilles tendon area should dip in slightly 175 00:13:58.507 --> 00:14:03.039 The remaining 1/5 portion is the area of the ankle bone 176 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.539 If you finish by extending the inward curve outward 177 00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:13.919 this will define the position of the ankle bone 178 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:19.039 And once you mark the foot here 179 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.376 the leg will be complete 180 00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:25.839 Let's take a quick look at the torso as well 181 00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:30.915 For the torso, start from the armpit 182 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:34.826 and draw a line 183 00:14:39.359 --> 00:14:41.859 that comes out like this 184 00:14:41.859 --> 00:14:44.028 As it goes down, it should gradually narrow 185 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.787 and the waist should curve inward like this 186 00:14:52.239 --> 00:14:53.989 If it's a very average body type 187 00:14:53.989 --> 00:14:56.668 you can draw it almost straight for this area 188 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:01.007 the pelvis, the pelvic region 189 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.466 again 190 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.890 This line slightly bulges out 191 00:15:09.890 --> 00:15:13.890 but if there is muscle or fat here 192 00:15:13.890 --> 00:15:16.116 you can draw it like that 193 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.948 The line gradually widens up to the femur 194 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.785 and then you can connect it to the leg 195 00:15:33.880 --> 00:15:38.475 In fact, the pelvic area doesn’t drop in a perfect curve 196 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.757 There is the shape of the pelvic bone like this 197 00:15:46.787 --> 00:15:48.215 Based from this point 198 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.737 Strictly speaking 199 00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:03.704 Like this 200 00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:11.506 this area slightly bulges out 201 00:16:11.506 --> 00:16:14.006 and here, you can express it with a slight straight line 202 00:16:14.006 --> 00:16:17.359 In the body 203 00:16:17.359 --> 00:16:22.159 it’s most accurate to express this 204 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.136 with a slight straight line as a small point of emphasis 205 00:16:30.512 --> 00:16:33.012 Now, let's take a look at the side profile curve 206 00:16:33.012 --> 00:16:36.559 The side profile truly highlights the importance of curves 207 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.009 Let's first take a look at the back side of the body 208 00:16:39.009 --> 00:16:44.079 The back of the head will start with the bump of the skull like this 209 00:16:44.079 --> 00:16:47.129 Next, the cervical spine is important here 210 00:16:47.129 --> 00:16:50.347 and it curves in a perfect C shape 211 00:16:53.337 --> 00:16:57.026 It's not a straight line, it's not the kind of neck 212 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.999 And then moving to the scapular area, this is the scapula 213 00:17:02.999 --> 00:17:05.839 The area around the scapula slightly bulges out 214 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.015 The spine continues all the way down to the lower back 215 00:17:13.163 --> 00:17:15.963 Then, the buttocks slightly bulge out 216 00:17:15.963 --> 00:17:18.063 Between the buttocks and the thigh 217 00:17:18.063 --> 00:17:20.886 this area slightly dips in as a point of emphasis 218 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.729 Then, the thigh muscle, if present 219 00:17:30.729 --> 00:17:34.516 bulges out slightly before it dips in again 220 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.469 If it's a body type with less muscle 221 00:17:41.469 --> 00:17:45.799 you can have this area dip in completely like this 222 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.456 But if it dips in too much like this, it won't look as good 223 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.650 If it's a body type without muscle, it will dip in here 224 00:17:53.650 --> 00:17:57.436 And of course, the area behind the knee will naturally dip in as well 225 00:18:00.782 --> 00:18:02.832 Then, the calf slightly bulges out 226 00:18:02.832 --> 00:18:05.426 I won't explain the proportions again 227 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:17.604 Then the Achilles tendon dips in, the heel bulges out, and it's finished 228 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.897 This would be the direction of the shape 229 00:18:25.550 --> 00:18:28.937 Now, let's draw the inner part of the body and finish it up 230 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.257 There is the face 231 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.909 and following the curve at the back of the neck 232 00:18:40.909 --> 00:18:43.886 draw the front in the same direction 233 00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:49.954 Between the body 234 00:18:53.719 --> 00:18:57.669 neck, and clavicle 235 00:18:57.669 --> 00:19:05.159 If the torso is drawn as mentioned earlier 236 00:19:05.159 --> 00:19:10.881 the connection between the body, neck, and clavicle naturally fits in 237 00:19:10.881 --> 00:19:12.937 The curve briefly breaks here 238 00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:17.896 and the line that 239 00:19:20.965 --> 00:19:24.599 comes out around the chest area, with the sternum 240 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.599 being the highest point, is located at the front 241 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.896 In the abdomen area, depending on the body type 242 00:19:32.896 --> 00:19:36.599 it can either dip in like this or simply come out like this 243 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.199 Usually, when drawing simply 244 00:19:39.199 --> 00:19:43.223 it's common to just use a line that comes out like this 245 00:19:43.223 --> 00:19:44.873 I prefer inward curves 246 00:19:44.873 --> 00:19:46.223 This is also drawn with that inward curve 247 00:19:49.153 --> 00:19:55.703 Then, it slightly bulges out at the pubic bone 248 00:19:55.703 --> 00:19:58.510 The torso ends with a curve that rolls inward 249 00:20:00.760 --> 00:20:04.097 Now, we need to start again from the hip joint 250 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:13.008 This area includes the pubic bone, the slight upper part of the pubic bone 251 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.557 and if we think of the pelvis as a box 252 00:20:22.170 --> 00:20:25.007 it would be the corner or edge 253 00:20:29.901 --> 00:20:33.997 where the sides meet, this would be the starting point 254 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.348 The hip joint has a slightly inward curve 255 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:46.213 Now, for the front of the thigh, the quadriceps 256 00:20:46.213 --> 00:20:52.601 draw the line that comes out along the muscle 257 00:20:52.601 --> 00:20:59.231 s you go downward, the line should become almost 258 00:20:59.231 --> 00:21:01.400 straight line with one that slightly narrows down 259 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.400 The knee slightly bulges out 260 00:21:06.766 --> 00:21:09.616 and the front of the shin 261 00:21:09.616 --> 00:21:13.766 will bulge out slightly if there's muscle, like in this sample 262 00:21:13.766 --> 00:21:18.251 If there's no muscle, you can simply draw the line inward 263 00:21:18.251 --> 00:21:21.201 in a smooth curve, following the shape 264 00:21:21.201 --> 00:21:23.826 of the calf muscles at the back 265 00:21:23.826 --> 00:21:28.826 If there is muscle, you can draw a slight outward curve 266 00:21:28.826 --> 00:21:33.667 and then continue the line the same way as the back line 267 00:21:33.667 --> 00:21:37.517 And now, the front of the ankle also follows 268 00:21:37.517 --> 00:21:39.935 a nearly straight line, slightly dipping in as it continues 269 00:21:42.925 --> 00:21:46.222 You can complete the foot at the point where the ankle bends 270 00:21:46.222 --> 00:21:52.572 It’s easier to think of the foot as a trapezoid 271 00:21:52.572 --> 00:21:56.944 when viewed from the side 272 00:21:56.944 --> 00:22:06.344 For the front view, if you draw the foot as a slightly elongated triangle 273 00:22:06.344 --> 00:22:09.617 it will make drawing the foot from the front a bit easier 274 00:22:12.233 --> 00:22:16.035 Commonly Used Lines in Body Drawing 275 00:22:17.191 --> 00:22:19.241 Next, let's actually practice 276 00:22:19.241 --> 00:22:21.112 how to draw the torso 277 00:22:23.171 --> 00:22:33.181 The point is to create a shape like a bean 278 00:22:38.943 --> 00:22:43.775 when connecting the torso line and the pelvic line 279 00:22:43.775 --> 00:22:52.042 When practicing drawing the torso, overlap two oval shapes like this 280 00:22:54.369 --> 00:23:02.765 Connecting the space in between like this will be helpful for practice 281 00:23:06.666 --> 00:23:08.666 Now, let's take a look at it in detail 282 00:23:11.775 --> 00:23:14.646 First, draw a wide oval vertically at the top 283 00:23:16.062 --> 00:23:18.646 This corresponds to the ribs 284 00:23:18.646 --> 00:23:20.706 The torso bone 285 00:23:20.706 --> 00:23:25.270 Next, draw a wide oval horizontally at the bottom 286 00:23:25.270 --> 00:23:27.171 This corresponds to the pelvic bone 287 00:23:27.171 --> 00:23:29.571 Then, thinking in three dimensional terms 288 00:23:29.571 --> 00:23:33.775 draw a center line through each oval like this 289 00:23:35.736 --> 00:23:37.736 This marks the center point of the body 290 00:23:41.567 --> 00:23:47.201 Next, connect the two ovals with a curve 291 00:23:47.201 --> 00:23:50.551 Considering that this is the abdomen and this is the back 292 00:23:50.551 --> 00:23:57.112 The space here is slightly narrower than the upper and lower parts of the torso 293 00:23:57.112 --> 00:24:00.062 However, as mentioned earlier 294 00:24:00.062 --> 00:24:02.399 you can also draw it like this, like this 295 00:24:05.152 --> 00:24:08.900 the back to curve slightly inward, and the abdomen to curve outward 296 00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:10.736 Connect them with a gentle curve accordingly 297 00:24:10.736 --> 00:24:13.835 Once you've connected them, the torso is complete, it's easy right? 298 00:24:16.142 --> 00:24:18.320 Let me draw another example 299 00:24:20.270 --> 00:24:24.270 Now, I'll draw an angle from below, a low angle 300 00:24:26.755 --> 00:24:29.934 Draw the top oval, then the bottom oval 301 00:24:33.914 --> 00:24:37.617 and connect the middle part of the ovals with a line like this 302 00:24:42.815 --> 00:24:47.565 Once you've marked the center, draw a line where the abdomen slightly protrudes 303 00:24:47.565 --> 00:24:52.122 outward and the inside curves slightly inward 304 00:24:52.122 --> 00:24:55.072 To make this look more three dimensional 305 00:24:55.072 --> 00:24:58.983 I mentioned earlier, the space here should curve inward 306 00:24:58.983 --> 00:25:01.183 So, what would it look like in a cross-section? 307 00:25:01.183 --> 00:25:02.260 It would look something like this 308 00:25:05.211 --> 00:25:10.352 his middle cross section should also be slightly like this 309 00:25:10.352 --> 00:25:14.260 You can express that the inside is slightly narrower 310 00:25:14.260 --> 00:25:18.914 The line in the middle would be drawn like this as well 311 00:25:18.914 --> 00:25:23.528 Consider the position of the side view line and draw it accordingly 312 00:25:27.567 --> 00:25:34.280 If you draw a slightly longer curve than the width of the torso bone 313 00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:38.775 and position it a little lower, this will represent the clavicle 314 00:25:42.151 --> 00:25:45.983 In a bottom-up angle, this is drawn in the center 315 00:25:48.953 --> 00:25:53.726 but in a normal curve, draw it slightly on the front side of the body 316 00:25:53.726 --> 00:25:55.399 Since the clavicle is at the front 317 00:25:59.837 --> 00:26:08.437 Then, for the pelvic bone, draw a circle as a box at the bottom 318 00:26:14.651 --> 00:26:20.505 then split it in half and draw a circle 319 00:26:20.505 --> 00:26:24.953 on the bottom surface like this 320 00:26:24.953 --> 00:26:29.653 Then, draw the cylinders extending 321 00:26:29.653 --> 00:26:32.503 from this circle like this 322 00:26:42.259 --> 00:26:45.251 and you'll have the perfect thighs 323 00:26:45.251 --> 00:26:48.458 Now, by adding some details here 324 00:26:55.716 --> 00:26:58.112 the torso will be complete 325 00:27:01.300 --> 00:27:03.600 Practicing drawing the torso in a bean shape 326 00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:06.488 is great for creating dynamic and lively poses 327 00:27:06.488 --> 00:27:11.137 When you add flesh to the connected bean shapes 328 00:27:13.949 --> 00:27:19.191 you'll complete a torso with this kind of feel 329 00:27:19.191 --> 00:27:22.399 I'll try drawing a few more for practice now 330 00:27:22.399 --> 00:27:25.735 It would be great if you follow along as you watch 331 00:27:25.735 --> 00:27:30.735 If you overlap the circles like this to create the bean shape 332 00:27:30.735 --> 00:27:31.785 Overlap the drawings, and 333 00:27:35.181 --> 00:27:37.676 draw the center that you have in mind 334 00:27:42.095 --> 00:27:48.545 and then think of this side as the front and this side as the back 335 00:27:48.545 --> 00:27:55.211 If you connect them naturally like this, the torso will be complete 336 00:27:55.211 --> 00:28:01.775 Draw the clavicle and shoulders at the front 337 00:28:08.062 --> 00:28:13.646 and the neck will be positioned around the middle, just behind the clavicle 338 00:28:13.646 --> 00:28:18.399 With the neck, the head will be attached roughly like this 339 00:28:22.538 --> 00:28:24.072 This is the shoulder 340 00:28:27.864 --> 00:28:28.864 Like this 341 00:28:30.161 --> 00:28:34.061 When the two circles are close and overlapping 342 00:28:34.061 --> 00:28:36.111 it's great for drawing angles 343 00:28:36.111 --> 00:28:40.380 like high or low angles 344 00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:45.430 And as we drew the circle earlier 345 00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:49.588 and extended it downward, it forms the thighs 346 00:29:31.855 --> 00:29:34.301 Now, let me draw a few more bean shapes 347 00:29:35.796 --> 00:29:41.806 This way, it turns into a human form 348 00:29:52.034 --> 00:29:56.400 In this way, the side profile of the person is quickly completed 349 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.897 By using the curves we used earlier and drawing them out 350 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.816 the arms are also completed 351 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.256 Once you refine the details, it will turn into this shape 352 00:30:27.357 --> 00:30:31.284 Very simple, right? 353 00:30:31.284 --> 00:30:34.308 If you practice drawing the torso in this way 354 00:30:34.308 --> 00:30:40.449 when you didn't know this method before 355 00:30:40.449 --> 00:30:43.599 the torso might feel 356 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.738 somewhat straight or rigid 357 00:30:46.738 --> 00:30:49.285 However, by changing the top and bottom ovals 358 00:30:49.285 --> 00:30:53.561 and practicing adjusting the posture in different ways 359 00:30:53.561 --> 00:30:56.000 as well as connecting the spaces 360 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.360 you'll be able to create much more dynamic and lively poses 361 00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:01.505 Especially when expressing movement 362 00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:09.229 most of the dynamic aspects are 363 00:31:09.229 --> 00:31:12.248 captured in the arms and legs 364 00:31:12.248 --> 00:31:16.239 which often causes the torso to be drawn stiffly 365 00:31:16.239 --> 00:31:18.988 By using this method and practicing 366 00:31:18.988 --> 00:31:23.745 it will be very helpful for creating a more three dimensional and flexible human form 367 00:31:26.800 --> 00:31:30.229 Next, let's look at how to represent the human body using lines 368 00:31:30.229 --> 00:31:33.919 When representing the human body with lines 369 00:31:33.919 --> 00:31:36.196 draw the arms and legs based on the outer line 370 00:31:42.879 --> 00:31:45.519 Like this 371 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.033 For the side 372 00:31:49.033 --> 00:31:55.599 First, draw up to the legs like this 373 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.847 and this will give a rough front view feeling 374 00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:08.276 For the side view, draw the torso based on the back(spine) 375 00:32:16.795 --> 00:32:19.027 and for the legs and up to the torso 376 00:32:22.399 --> 00:32:25.937 draw them based on the front view 377 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.466 Now, for the head and torso 378 00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:44.240 For the pelvis, it's best to draw a simple shape 379 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:48.160 whether it's a circle, square, or any other geometric form 380 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:52.105 So, when sketching or setting up a human pose 381 00:32:54.639 --> 00:32:55.674 Sometimes 382 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:04.320 you draw lines like this for the core or center of the body 383 00:33:04.320 --> 00:33:07.418 When you add lines like this, be sure to draw them in this way 384 00:33:12.378 --> 00:33:17.039 This approach is not recommended because it doesn't provide any clear understanding of the body's structure 385 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.452 When drawing on the skeleton, you need to imagine and draw 386 00:33:20.452 --> 00:33:22.399 outer lines for the rest of the body 387 00:33:22.399 --> 00:33:24.249 When drawing from the beginning 388 00:33:24.249 --> 00:33:27.600 it's better to base the drawing on the outer muscles 389 00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:30.250 that are most expressed 390 00:33:30.250 --> 00:33:33.600 as this will help convey the movement more effectively 391 00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:36.597 The sense of movement is more clearly expressed in the muscles than in the bones 392 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.440 Now, let's take a look at the more detailed lines 393 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:45.440 Earlier, we discussed the fundamental curves of the human body in more detail 394 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.340 but now let's focus on a simpler, practical approach 395 00:33:49.340 --> 00:33:51.040 that can be easily followed 396 00:33:51.040 --> 00:33:53.354 and applied when doing croquis or figure studies 397 00:33:57.778 --> 00:34:04.338 First, draw a gentle right angle for the arm 398 00:34:06.639 --> 00:34:09.139 Draw a curve that bends inward 399 00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:12.880 from the bottom to the elbow 400 00:34:13.058 --> 00:34:18.098 Draw it slightly longer than the shoulder 401 00:34:18.098 --> 00:34:19.998 and if there are muscles 402 00:34:19.998 --> 00:34:24.227 add a gentler curve to represent them 403 00:34:24.227 --> 00:34:30.480 From the elbow to the wrist, draw a gentle S-curve 404 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.359 not a sharp one, but a soft, flowing S-curve 405 00:34:35.359 --> 00:34:39.600 Draw the upper part of the arm with a slight outward curve 406 00:34:39.600 --> 00:34:43.986 and then a slight inward curve, similar in length to the upper arm 407 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.760 Then, mark the wrist position horizontally 408 00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.760 and draw the opposite curve in a mirror image 409 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:56.079 to complete the shape of the arm 410 00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.979 Shall we? 411 00:34:56.979 --> 00:35:00.077 The armpit is located where the triangular shoulder muscle ends 412 00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:09.760 Now, this part here 413 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.366 The parts that go in and out are exactly the same 414 00:35:16.399 --> 00:35:18.748 It's this easy, right? 415 00:35:24.040 --> 00:35:30.114 For the legs, draw a gentle curve 416 00:35:30.114 --> 00:35:36.550 from the pelvis outward without curving inward 417 00:35:36.550 --> 00:35:39.576 Then, from here, move straight to the knee 418 00:35:49.839 --> 00:35:54.188 For the knee, draw a wide inward curve 419 00:35:54.188 --> 00:35:58.326 and from the calf, draw a gentle S curve 420 00:36:06.307 --> 00:36:11.147 Now, for the ankle, mark its position 421 00:36:11.147 --> 00:36:17.259 Then, using the center as a reference 422 00:36:17.259 --> 00:36:20.178 draw a long triangle sideways 423 00:36:23.969 --> 00:36:25.346 and that will complete the foot 424 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.546 If you add details here 425 00:36:34.526 --> 00:36:36.077 it would look something like this 426 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:50.399 There is a part that's been omitted here and what might it be? 427 00:36:50.399 --> 00:36:52.457 Yes, it's the ankle bone 428 00:36:55.673 --> 00:36:59.200 It's ideal to include the ankle bone here 429 00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:02.018 but we can just draw it on the opposite side as well 430 00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.905 Now, for the opposite thigh 431 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.679 draw a very gentle S-curve 432 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.060 with the top coming out and the bottom curving inward 433 00:37:23.158 --> 00:37:26.485 Then, make the knee slightly protruding 434 00:37:29.600 --> 00:37:33.760 From the knee, break the line 435 00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:41.636 and draw another gentle S curve 436 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.665 mirroring the opposite side 437 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:53.839 Also, the direction of the calf isn't completely straight 438 00:37:53.839 --> 00:37:56.089 as you can see, there's quite a bit of space left here 439 00:37:56.089 --> 00:37:59.037 It has a slightly inward curve 440 00:38:03.839 --> 00:38:06.139 And once you finish by 441 00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:08.488 adding the protruding ankle bone 442 00:38:08.488 --> 00:38:11.600 the shape of the leg will be complete 443 00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:13.375 It's all complete now, right? 444 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.136 Now, let's take a look at the side profile 445 00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:31.040 First, draw the shape corresponding to the head 446 00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:33.790 The shape corresponding to the head should be drawn 447 00:38:33.790 --> 00:38:37.119 as an oval, slightly tilted backward, similar to the torso bone 448 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.917 Then, draw the neck with a forward curving line 449 00:38:42.469 --> 00:38:46.269 based on the back of the neck 450 00:38:46.269 --> 00:38:49.039 For the scapula and back 451 00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:54.640 draw a slight outward curve, and continue with a curve inward down to the waist 452 00:38:54.640 --> 00:38:57.840 Draw it extending downward smoothly 453 00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:00.618 and make the buttocks protrude slightly 454 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.346 Based on the drawn curves 455 00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:22.085 draw the torso and pelvic shapes 456 00:39:29.451 --> 00:39:32.472 It would be helpful to refer to the bean shape we used earlier 457 00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.157 Then, when considering the pelvic shape as a square 458 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:50.277 draw a slightly inward curve 459 00:39:57.095 --> 00:39:58.976 at the front corner of the pelvis 460 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.706 Draw the line for the thigh 461 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:13.440 extending forward to the knee like this 462 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:15.587 Make the line slightly narrower as it goes down 463 00:40:20.288 --> 00:40:23.377 add a slightly protruding knee 464 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:32.390 and from the knee 465 00:40:32.390 --> 00:40:34.804 draw a continuous inward curve 466 00:40:34.804 --> 00:40:38.535 down to the ankle for the calf 467 00:40:38.535 --> 00:40:42.147 If you want to simplify it, you can just draw it all in a straight line like this 468 00:40:45.452 --> 00:40:47.696 Don't forget that in the side view of the leg 469 00:40:47.696 --> 00:40:50.559 the leg is drawn based on the front perspective like this 470 00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:54.159 Once you've drawn this, the general nuance of 471 00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:55.676 the human body has been mostly expressed 472 00:40:59.960 --> 00:41:03.410 Now, for the back part of the leg 473 00:41:03.410 --> 00:41:11.217 from the bottom of the buttocks to the point where the knee ends 474 00:41:11.217 --> 00:41:18.320 draw a very gentle S-curve all the way to the back of the knee 475 00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:29.130 Similarly, draw an S-curve 476 00:41:29.130 --> 00:41:35.119 for the calf as well 477 00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:38.757 The curve for the calf is larger than the one for the thigh 478 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:44.006 The calf area is larger, and as you go down 479 00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.110 the curve almost disappears, becoming quite minimal 480 00:41:49.110 --> 00:41:51.260 As you can see by now 481 00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:54.060 the key curves that define the dynamics of the human body 482 00:41:54.060 --> 00:41:57.198 all include S-shaped curves 483 00:41:57.198 --> 00:42:00.327 Even when you look at the entire leg, it's an S-curve like this 484 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:08.230 The leg surface has an S-curve from the thigh to the calf 485 00:42:08.230 --> 00:42:15.080 and the back has another S-curve from the spine to the scapula and down to the waist 486 00:42:15.080 --> 00:42:17.080 Catching the important nuances is 487 00:42:17.080 --> 00:42:21.760 much more important than memorizing detailed muscle names 488 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.510 And now, for the front of the body, if you connect the appropriate lines 489 00:42:25.510 --> 00:42:31.000 as we learned with the bean shape, it will be nearly complete 490 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.323 It is now complete like this 491 00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:44.970 Basic Croquis Practice 492 00:42:46.160 --> 00:42:50.480 Now, let's do the final practice with a croquis 493 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.200 We will do a croquis using the curves we just learned 494 00:42:55.200 --> 00:43:00.040 Therefore, the important part is capturing the nuances of the human body 495 00:43:00.040 --> 00:43:04.593 Even if you can't perfectly draw 496 00:43:04.593 --> 00:43:11.290 the shapes or capture every detail 497 00:43:11.290 --> 00:43:13.490 down to the fingertips 498 00:43:13.490 --> 00:43:17.600 as long as you draw the key lines 499 00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:20.000 you can clearly see 500 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:23.360 what the pose the person is making 501 00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.860 The focus on the liveliness of the human body is 502 00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:28.187 what makes croquis different from regular figure studies 503 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.758 Now, let's practice croquis 504 00:43:55.634 --> 00:43:57.784 by focusing around the key lines that highlight 505 00:43:57.784 --> 00:44:00.376 the important points of the human body 506 00:44:00.376 --> 00:44:02.399 Where the key points of the human body are? 507 00:44:02.399 --> 00:44:05.000 As emphasized earlier, for the torso 508 00:44:09.356 --> 00:44:14.106 in side or back views where the spine is visible 509 00:44:14.106 --> 00:44:16.752 you should focus on drawing the spine line 510 00:44:16.752 --> 00:44:22.247 When the spine is not visible, like in the picture 511 00:44:22.247 --> 00:44:27.198 use the longest line between the left and right torso lines 512 00:44:27.198 --> 00:44:30.762 which in this case would be this one 513 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.796 You would draw based on this line 514 00:44:38.796 --> 00:44:42.531 For the arms and legs, draw along the outer line 515 00:44:42.531 --> 00:44:49.000 and when it's a side view, focus on the front line of the leg 516 00:44:52.366 --> 00:44:55.505 If the arm is here 517 00:44:57.277 --> 00:45:01.396 you would follow the clavicle line 518 00:45:01.396 --> 00:45:06.713 so the arm should be drawn based on the upper or front line 519 00:45:06.713 --> 00:45:09.663 If the extended part is 520 00:45:09.663 --> 00:45:14.238 the inner side of the arm 521 00:45:14.238 --> 00:45:17.038 Then think of this side as the outer side 522 00:45:17.038 --> 00:45:19.000 and it's better to draw it from this perspective 523 00:45:23.485 --> 00:45:28.685 The most important parts are the ones where the movement is most visible 524 00:45:28.685 --> 00:45:30.465 Focus on drawing those areas 525 00:45:30.465 --> 00:45:32.290 The points I mentioned earlier 526 00:45:32.290 --> 00:45:35.000 are the areas where the movement is most clearly visible 527 00:45:38.277 --> 00:45:45.010 And another important point is the horizontal line of the clavicle and shoulders 528 00:45:45.010 --> 00:45:49.910 As I taught you in the process of drawing 529 00:45:49.910 --> 00:45:53.000 the torso with the bean shape 530 00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.400 once you've added the torso, clavicle, and limbs 531 00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.515 you'll have captured all the key points 532 00:46:05.366 --> 00:46:10.000 Now, I'll demonstrate a croquis myself, step by step 533 00:46:12.663 --> 00:46:16.213 The important thing here is 534 00:46:16.213 --> 00:46:18.313 deciding what to omit 535 00:46:18.313 --> 00:46:20.673 and what to focus on within the given time 536 00:46:20.673 --> 00:46:24.901 Croquis is often done in 5 or 10 minutes 537 00:46:24.901 --> 00:46:27.951 but typically, it can be 3 minutes, 1 minute, or 30 seconds 538 00:46:27.951 --> 00:46:31.351 In cases like street croquis 539 00:46:31.351 --> 00:46:34.465 it could be as quick as 5 or 10 seconds 540 00:46:34.465 --> 00:46:38.445 You might wonder what can be drawn in such short time frames like 5 or 10 seconds 541 00:46:38.445 --> 00:46:41.000 but let me try a 5-second or 10-second croquis first 542 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.100 If the picture in front of you is 543 00:46:48.100 --> 00:46:51.346 of an actual ballet move 544 00:46:51.346 --> 00:46:57.000 it would take about 1 or 2 seconds to perform that pose 545 00:46:58.871 --> 00:47:00.545 In that case, how do you draw it? 546 00:47:05.822 --> 00:47:08.000 You can simply draw it like this 547 00:47:09.802 --> 00:47:13.452 Approach it like making a quick note 548 00:47:13.452 --> 00:47:15.952 with your hand to capture the movement 549 00:47:15.952 --> 00:47:17.584 of the person you're observing 550 00:47:17.584 --> 00:47:19.736 Because we're not submitting this 551 00:47:19.736 --> 00:47:23.168 as a final version anywhere 552 00:47:23.168 --> 00:47:26.518 The most important thing is not whether the lines are perfectly finished 553 00:47:26.518 --> 00:47:29.930 but whether you've drawn the lines, and more importantly 554 00:47:29.930 --> 00:47:34.673 how much attention you've paid to observing 555 00:47:34.673 --> 00:47:36.823 So, even if the final drawing isn't perfectly recognizable 556 00:47:36.823 --> 00:47:39.000 the croquis becomes meaningful 557 00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:43.100 because you've been actively observing 558 00:47:43.100 --> 00:47:45.000 and capturing the process 559 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.495 When I do street croquis, I often end up with a notebook 560 00:47:52.653 --> 00:47:59.049 full of these kinds of nonsensical scribbles continuously 561 00:47:59.049 --> 00:48:03.000 But I found that these kinds of practices have been really helpful for me 562 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.303 Because during the time spent 563 00:48:05.303 --> 00:48:08.303 focusing your eyes while drawing with your hand 564 00:48:08.303 --> 00:48:11.911 the experience of observing 565 00:48:11.911 --> 00:48:18.039 becomes a greater learning process than simply completing a perfect drawing 566 00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:21.297 So, approach it with that mindset that 567 00:48:21.297 --> 00:48:24.901 it's like quickly taking notes during a lecture 568 00:48:24.901 --> 00:48:28.198 When we take notes during a class or lecture 569 00:48:28.198 --> 00:48:31.248 if we focus too much on making the notes look neat and tidy 570 00:48:31.248 --> 00:48:35.564 we can sometimes miss important points 571 00:48:35.564 --> 00:48:38.238 The important thing is not about if the note is tidy or not 572 00:48:38.238 --> 00:48:40.738 The process of making it look nice 573 00:48:40.738 --> 00:48:43.455 comes later when you organize it 574 00:48:43.455 --> 00:48:45.038 For quick croquis 575 00:48:45.038 --> 00:48:48.000 it's best to approach it with the mindset of jotting down a note 576 00:48:51.346 --> 00:48:53.555 Next, for a 30-second croquis 577 00:48:55.713 --> 00:49:00.733 start by using the head as your primary reference 578 00:49:00.733 --> 00:49:03.208 If you've ever tried drawing, you'd know that 579 00:49:03.208 --> 00:49:07.733 it's really difficult to draw the body first and then the head 580 00:49:07.733 --> 00:49:16.346 So, drawing in reverse from the toes is very challenging 581 00:49:16.346 --> 00:49:20.228 but drawing from the head down to the toes is much easier 582 00:49:20.228 --> 00:49:23.851 So, start by drawing the head first 583 00:49:23.851 --> 00:49:29.851 then define the visible shoulders, clavicle 584 00:49:29.851 --> 00:49:36.742 and shoulder line 585 00:49:36.742 --> 00:49:40.485 and next, quickly capture the movement and pose 586 00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.188 You can just quickly capture the most dynamic part 587 00:50:11.505 --> 00:50:13.574 of the pose that you think conveys the movement 588 00:50:16.792 --> 00:50:21.000 Usually, a lot of observation happens here 589 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:24.300 and that's often where the 30-second croquis ends 590 00:50:24.300 --> 00:50:27.594 and it's perfectly fine, too 591 00:50:27.594 --> 00:50:33.089 Because all the most important parts of the movement have been captured 592 00:50:33.089 --> 00:50:36.000 Now, we can gradually start to see what the movement is 593 00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:43.000 As I’ve mentioned several times, the goal is not to draw perfectly 594 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:47.000 Drawing a perfect shape doesn't make any sense at this stage 595 00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:51.178 Catching this movement and this curve is the most important part 596 00:50:51.178 --> 00:50:52.678 Now, let's take 1 minute 597 00:50:52.678 --> 00:50:57.317 In one minute, we can add more detailed features to the human body 598 00:50:57.317 --> 00:51:00.455 but it would be difficult to go into too much detail 599 00:51:00.455 --> 00:51:03.634 So, the goal within 1 minute is 600 00:51:03.634 --> 00:51:10.416 to try to draw the human body in a slightly more complete form 601 00:51:10.416 --> 00:51:14.416 where you can feel the surfaces rather than just the lines 602 00:51:14.416 --> 00:51:16.000 If you spend 603 00:51:18.297 --> 00:51:22.297 an extra 30 seconds as mentioned earlier 604 00:51:50.417 --> 00:51:53.443 you should aim to complete the arm and leg shapes 605 00:51:53.443 --> 00:52:00.871 by drawing the opposite side 606 00:52:00.871 --> 00:52:04.000 focusing on the key points without going into too much detail 607 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:06.218 That should be more than enough 608 00:52:06.218 --> 00:52:09.768 At this point, drawing hair 609 00:52:09.768 --> 00:52:13.624 or adding more detailed expressions would be a bit too much 610 00:52:13.624 --> 00:52:17.218 There's not enough time to go that far 611 00:52:17.218 --> 00:52:21.426 Now, the 3-minute croquis is the typical time for a croquis session 612 00:52:21.426 --> 00:52:25.726 From here, you can just catch the nuances 613 00:52:25.726 --> 00:52:29.020 of the simple facial features 614 00:52:29.020 --> 00:52:32.584 Like this 615 00:52:32.584 --> 00:52:35.000 You can slightly show the nose 616 00:52:40.535 --> 00:52:43.198 and you can draw things like muscle lines 617 00:52:43.198 --> 00:52:44.000 jawbones 618 00:52:51.634 --> 00:52:54.834 and hair, but it's better to focus more on expressing 619 00:52:54.834 --> 00:52:58.643 the general shapes and nuances at this stage 620 00:52:58.643 --> 00:53:02.000 If it gets more detailed, it will start to become a copy 621 00:53:11.742 --> 00:53:16.264 If the person is wearing clothes 622 00:53:16.264 --> 00:53:19.752 this is the time to simply express the folds of the clothing 623 00:53:19.752 --> 00:53:24.002 This is also the time to roughly depict 624 00:53:24.002 --> 00:53:26.663 the larger areas of the muscle shapes 625 00:54:03.873 --> 00:54:09.020 By adding more detailed descriptions like this 626 00:54:09.020 --> 00:54:13.000 you will complete the type of depiction suitable for a 3 minute croquis 627 00:54:26.923 --> 00:54:34.178 Now, the croquis for the 3 minutes is complete 628 00:54:34.178 --> 00:54:38.921 It’s okay if it's very inaccurate, so try not to press the pencil too hard 629 00:54:38.921 --> 00:54:41.171 Instead, quickly sketch the lines with a light touch 630 00:54:41.171 --> 00:54:45.426 as if you're gently guiding the pencil, which will be more helpful 631 00:54:45.426 --> 00:54:50.526 And the important thing is that when doing a croquis 632 00:54:50.526 --> 00:54:53.238 you shouldn't be drawing while looking at your own drawing 633 00:54:53.238 --> 00:54:56.538 Instead, keep your eyes on the photo 634 00:54:56.538 --> 00:55:00.188 and continue drawing the lines separately 635 00:55:00.188 --> 00:55:02.267 focusing on the reference image 636 00:55:02.267 --> 00:55:06.614 If you only focus on your own drawing, you might become more obsessed with completing it 637 00:55:06.614 --> 00:55:09.964 which can make you neglect the most important part 638 00:55:09.964 --> 00:55:12.000 of the croquis, which is observation 639 00:55:15.406 --> 00:55:18.806 So, it ends up becoming a creative drawing of mine based on the original 640 00:55:18.806 --> 00:55:22.139 rather than focusing on the observation that the croquis is meant to achieve 641 00:55:22.139 --> 00:55:24.663 Then, the effectiveness of the study diminishes 642 00:55:24.663 --> 00:55:27.413 The important thing is to never detach 643 00:55:27.413 --> 00:55:29.913 from the photo or model while drawing 644 00:55:29.913 --> 00:55:31.643 Please keep that in mind 645 00:55:31.643 --> 00:55:35.475 Let's summarize what we've learned in this session 646 00:55:35.475 --> 00:55:38.175 First, we learned about the proportions 647 00:55:38.175 --> 00:55:40.574 based on the 8-heads tall human body 648 00:55:40.574 --> 00:55:42.974 We understood the standard proportions of body parts 649 00:55:42.974 --> 00:55:46.366 and the skeletal structure that serves as the central reference point 650 00:55:46.366 --> 00:55:50.485 Second, we learned about the curves used to express the human body 651 00:55:50.485 --> 00:55:53.885 We understood the lines that go into and come out of the curves in the human body 652 00:55:53.885 --> 00:55:58.624 as well as the overall nuance conveyed through the curves 653 00:55:58.624 --> 00:56:00.574 Third, we learned how to practice 654 00:56:00.574 --> 00:56:03.772 the human body through croquis 655 00:56:03.772 --> 00:56:08.000 We learned the key points and considerations for each time segment when doing croquis 656 00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:10.000 Thank you for your hard work 657 00:56:10.632 --> 00:56:12.282 The characteristics of basic human body proportions Basic human body proportions The arms have a 1:1 from the elbow The thigh and calf have a 4:3 658 00:56:12.282 --> 00:56:13.932 Shoulder width equals to 3 heads The end of the ribcage is at the midpoint between the nipple and the pelvis From the head to the torso and legs 1:1 659 00:56:13.932 --> 00:56:15.572 The curves of the human body Torso vertically oval tilted backward Pelvis horizontally oval tilted forward body's curves flow in S shape not jagged 660 00:56:15.572 --> 00:56:16.772 Commonly used lines in human figure drawing For arms and legs, focus on drawing the outer lines For side view of the torso, draw based on the spine 661 00:56:16.772 --> 00:56:17.972 For the side view of the legs, from front view The arms follow an S shape, bending at elbow The side view of the legs is also drawn in an S shape 662 00:56:17.972 --> 00:56:19.172 Basic croquis Use the spine line for the torso, the longest torso line of the left and right if the spine isn't visible 663 00:56:19.172 --> 00:56:20.410 For limbs, use the outer line, for side view, legs followfront line, arms back line Clavicle and shoulder lines are completed with the limbs for torso
